Style Mix Tour

Want to take a trip to Annapolis, Maryland? The Westfield Annapolis was a great stop for the Seventeen Style Mix Tour, which hunts for girls to "get discovered" as models, features performances by Nina Sky, provides Garnier Fructis makeovers, a Jenni lounge, a Miss Dior Cherie fragrance bar, and tons of free stuff, among other things (see title link). It was on Saturday, October 17 from 2-4 PM...don't miss the next one!

Obsess?

Did you know that guys totally obsess over you when they have a crush on you? They just don't show it...Aaron, a 16-year-old from Harrisburg, North Carolina told Seventeen magazine that his "stomach is in knots" and "his brain turns to jelly"...he even checks her Facebook profile every few days just to make sure "she's still single"! He also hopes "every day she'll acknowledge" that he even exists (see title link). Cute? Pitiful? Creepy? You decide. Leave a comment with your thoughts!

Depression no-nos

The one thing I do when I feel sad or depressed is overeat. Ice cream sundaes, Oreos, all the stuff that's horrible for me. And while you may think those kinds of foods will drown your sorrows, they actually make you feel bloated and maybe even WORSE. Instead, do the opposite and burn calories by exercising...go for a jog or just work out your own way. You'll release tons of endorphins and actually feel better, even if it is just for a little while (see title link).

Hips Don't Lie?

If there's one person to admire in Hollywood because of her toned body, it's Shakira. That woman has natural beauty and her curves aren't made by a computer (at least in some pictures, where she STILL looks fabulous!). But to achieve that fitness level, you need to work out. So get some tips from Shakira's trainer, Tracy Anderson (see title link), and you can climb your way to the top.

E.l.f.

When was the last time you could buy $1 makeup? I don't remember...but E.l.f. lets you do it NOW (see title link). Their All Over Color Stick is a 3 in 1 (eyes, lips, face). Your face will be illuminated with a healthy glow, and your skin will be left soothed and conditioned, keeping it fresh and natural-looking for hours. Try the Lilac Petal shade shown at left.

Milani

Want smoky blue eyes without the high budget? For just $6, try Milani Runway Eyes Eye Shadow. The Blue Lagoon shade (see top left) gives you that perfect out-on-the-town, fierce look, especially if you smudge it into your creases. Midnight-blue shadow is always a hit (see title link)!

Designer Imposters

Want to smell expensive without actually splurging? Try Designer Imposters...their Swept Away scent smells exactly like Victoria's Secret Love Spell. Except this one is just $3.59 (see title link). It's a fruity floral fragrance with orange, ruby red grapefruit, berries, peach, cherry blossoms, jasmine, and musk ingredients.

E.l.f.

E.l.f. Mineral Eyeshadow in the Golden variety is a great complement to bronze skin tones! For just $3, you'll match your skin to make the look feel natural, but the sheen will spice it up and make you light up a room! The shades are translucent and contain Vitamins A & B, helping to hydrate you and minimize the appearance of fine lines. You can wear them wet OR dry and they're so easy to apply and blend. Your lids will look absolutely flawless! There are no parabens, preservatives, or chemical dyes. So check it out online (see title link)!

Flair4All

Want to be a DIY interior designer? Check out flair4all, a website that sells wall decals (all removable) for just $20. There are hundreds of designs to choose from. The one show at right is in the Flowers category and is called Poppy Pow in the Vibrance color combination (see title link). Check out those delicate stems! Each is separate, so you can make an arrangement or put them up all over your room! Oh, AND they're rearrangeable. Personalization time! You get three sheets per flair pack which are 12" x 17".

BB Dakota

BB Dakota has a great skirt (see title link) for $60. It has some amazing contrast piping that makes your middle look tiny because the trip dips down in the front.
