Back 2 Skool: Night before

Hi everyone, so we all know that the night before the first day of school is always hectic so this is going to help you all feel less stressed.

1. Pick out clothes night before so you don't have to spend tons of time in the morning. Make sure you also try on the clothes so you know how it will look and if it will fit.
2. Take a shower, this will help you save a bunch of time in the morning so you dont have to wash and dry because usually your hair will already be dry by the time you wake up.
3.  Plan out how you will do your hair and makeup the next morning
4. Pack your lunch if you take a lunch to school
5. Pack your purse or bag you take to school

Hope this helped and have fun on your First Day of School!!!!

Back 2 Skool: Makeup

Hi everyone, so the day this post goes up will be our first day of school:( but throughout the rest of August I will still be doing Back 2 Skool posts. Today I am going to be talking about what I believe is appropriate to wear by grade. I am not saying you have to wear any makeup and you should defiantly talk to a parent or guardian about what their rules are.

5th Grade and Under: Not a lot of makeup I believe should be worn in this age category but if you need some concealer to cover any insecurities or blemishes make sure it is your color and not considerably darker or lighter. I recommend one from the drugstore because it is cheaper but it is totally your preference.

6th Grade: Again not a lot of makeup should be worn in this category but usually this is where you will see a lot more girls wearing makeup. I think a good BB cream or tinted moisturizer and lip gloss would be appropriate, but maybe if you are a little more oily you may want to use a powder. Again a drugstore powder would work fine I like the ELF powder but if you do have money for a more higher brand I like MAC Mineralize Skin finish Natural. But for gloss any color would be fine except maybe a red or very bold color.

7th Grade: In this category again a BB cream or tinted moisturizer with an optional powder, or concealer gloss, mascara, and other optionals could be a blush or a LITTTLLLLEEEE!! eyeliner. Just a veryyyyyyyyyyyyy little on the bottom can make all the difference but please don't make it look like the overly talked about "raccoon eyes." You may not think it is bad but people are 100% sure going to make fun of you. A tip to avoid this is to run your cleansed finger under your bottom water line and if there is eyeliner on your finger you may want to put makeup remover on a Q-tip and run it under your lashes to remove excess liner.

8th Grade: In this age an actual foundation may be necessary for some of you to wear with powder and concealer. Again a very little amount of eyeliner, mascara, and some neutral eyeshadow I think is appropriate with lip gloss and blush.

What I did was just added more and more products each year to wear but didn't overdue it sometimes if I was in a rush in the morning some people could tell I was wearing makeup but I tried to keep it easy. I think about 8th grade is when you can kind of wear the whole package of makeup and when everyone starts to never go out in public without wearing makeup. But again keep it simple.

Back 2 Skool: How to collage your binder

Today for my Back 2 Skool series I am going to tell you how I collage my binders.
What you'll need:

• Binder with a clear sheet on the cover
• Magazines
• Scissors
• Tape
• Paper (optional)

Directions:

1. If your binder has a piece of paper already in your clear sheet talking about the binder you have, flip it over to the plain white side. This should be the perfect size to fit in you binder. If it doesn't have paper in the binder already you can cut a piece of construction paper to fit inside your binder.
2. Get your magazines that you are finished with and cut different pictures you like. (shoes,makeup,eye looks,etc.)
3. Put the pictures together on the paper to see how it will look without the tape to make sure you will like it.
4. Fold your tape and start replacing all the pictures to your paper.
5. Put your collage back in the sheet and your finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
