Fun Ideas

With your friends...
1. At a sleepover, dress up in wacky halloween costumes or old clothes, put on some crazy make-up and hold your very own photoshoot! Let every girl have the chance to be the photographer, the model and the audience at the "high-fashion" photo shoot!
2. Satisfy that sweet tooth you all have with ice cream sundaes! Beforehand, let everyone know that they have to bring an ingredient for the sundaes, enough for however many people you're inviting. When your friends-and the ingredients- arrive, go to the kitchen, get out some bowls and dig in!
3. Have a wacky scavenger hunt at the mall! Split up your friends into groups of two or three and give them a list of crazy, unusual items for them to find and take a picture of themselves with it! How about a lizard, a cup of coffee or a pair of underwear?

With your family...
1. Plan a trip to the grocery store to find ingredients for dinner, but there's a catch, you can only spend $5-10!
2. If possible, get your mom, dad, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles- maybe even your grandparents- and play a game of football, soccer, catch, any sport that will get your hearts pumping and that you'll have fun with! If you're not into that, why not get them together and go to the public pool, or perhaps a picnic or barbeque!
3. Get your family together and have a movie night. Complete with popcorn, drinks, candy and more, rent a movie you all love, huddle around the television and get the movie playing. You can make "tickets" and dress up as an "employee" collecting tickets before the movie starts!

Just by yourself...
1. Give yourself a little spa day! Paint your fingernails and toenails, put on your robe, cut up some cucumbers for your eyes- or a little snack!- and soak your feet. You deserve pampering!
2. Write an story about your life, someone elses, or just one made up! Let your creative mind flow onto the paper. After you read over it, you can submit it to us by e-mail,

3. Get your make-up together and try out different looks. You'll be surprised at what looks amazing on you! Try something daring like aqua or fuschia eyes, something edgy like smoky, metallic eyes, or something sweet, like pink, shimmery lips!
