Sleepover- Beauty Queen - Makeover Party

Let's get nostalgic.

With finals slowly drawing to a close, girls the country over are beginning to rejoice. For it's home to the warmth and love and comfort of your mama's kitchen, and no more excuse is necessary for a slumber party. Whether you're takin' a load off from your studies or gathering the gals at your parents' place, 'tis the season of the slumber party.

A few reminders to jog your memory, if perhaps a little out of order

1- Breakfast

Waffles. Or pancakes. These are obligatory, unless you're a group of celiacs, in which case I'm sure someone in the group has a gluten-free solution up their sleeve. Waffles/pancakes are perfect with just a little maple syrup and butter, but are also the perfect blank canvas for other fruits and miscellaneous deliciousness.

Like...

bananas

strawberries

chocolate

corn (I'm serious)

bacon (again...)

nutella

icing sugar

EVERYTHING

2 - Chick Flick

Clueless is the best one. This is not a subjective statement. But I suppose if you've just recently watched it and sort of want a break, there are other options.

3 - Makeover makeover!!

A slumber party just isn't a slumber party without someone's face being plastered with makeup. Bump it up a notch by mimicking your favourite runway look/Vogue spread and busting out the camera for a photoshoot of your own.

4 - Other Obviousness

Truth or Dare

Prank Calls

Not Slumbering

Heart to Hearts

Secret Telling

...YouTube...maybe.

Singin'

Baby takes to the stage this weekend in Seussial The Musical - all your favourite Seuss put to song and dance! Head off to the hinterlands (Aldershot, last stop on the Lakeshore West GO route) for Aldershot High School's musical.

Three performances- tonight, tomorrow, Saturday. See you Saturday.

-a.

All That Glitters...

Proving once more that some of the very best ramblings come outta Canada's best (arguably?) city (ahem! Toronto! duh!) Kayla Huffman and Maddy Aubert have gathered the very best and most interesting bits of fashiony goodness just for you!

Take a look at Gold Faced Betty - guaranteed you'll be glad you did.

Lash Out!

Looking for too-good-to-be-true, yet oh-so-natural lashes? Look no further, ladies, than your trusty Q-tip.

You heard me.
Next time you yank that mascara wand outta the tube, run the bristles over a Q-tip to remove excess, and coat your (curled!) lashes. Now, curled means with a curler. Regardless of how curly those lashes might already be, this tool is quipped as pure magic by too many pros for you to go all diva here. Suck it up and curl. Squeeze over lashes real real close to the eyelid, and repeat as many times as you can moving slowly outward.

Mascara - wipe then swipe.

Now take a lash and brow groomer to run through your lashes, just to make sure, and of course to brush out your brows. Nothing says sophistication quite like a well-kept brow.

Voilà!

Playing Spy

At it again - forever peeking into the beautiful lives of the more fabulous humans among us, I've come across another home to loooooooove.

Have a quick taste of the good life at photographer Dan Martensen and model Shannan Click's home in upstate New York, as featured on TheSelby.com

Saturday!

There are lots of things to do on Saturdays.
Obviously.
Try these on for size, and put some spring in your step as you hit the town tonight with the knowledge that you are a productive, forward-thinking, on-top-of-the-world kinda gal.

Homework (ew!)
It sucks. It sucks on weekdays. It sucks more on weekends. But sometimes learning is fun, and being knowledgeable is always stylish. So just crack down and do it.

Coffeeeeeeeee
Whether you need it to clear that muddled head of yours after a night of tomfoolery, or just simply parce que, coffee dates are great solo or in a pack. Should be accompanied by great thought/conversation, and consequent journalling of feelings, emotions and clever witticisms.

Or! Brush out your fringe, grab a bag, a scarf, a pair-o-mits, and head off to market! Pick up some yum-o somethings to eat for the week, add a bouquet of flowers and you're the picture of perfection. Really hammer the message into your captive audience with a radiant smile as evident above. [Photograph borrowed from Sart... obviously...]
