Back To School Series: What To Keep in Your Locker/Bag

Hellooo! I'm going to be telling you guys what to keep in your locker. I know some schools don't have lockers, or maybe you just prefer to keep it all in your bag. I'm just going to jump right in since I usually make intros kinda long!

• A small makeup bag; to keep most of your stuff in!
• Chapstick or lip gloss; whichever you prefer, for when your lips get chapped or need a touch up.
• Hand lotion; especially for winter, when your hands get dry and cracked.
• Perfume; either it's after gym or you just want to smell good, you can spray this on throughout the day when you need it!
• Feminine products; if you're a girl, (which I'm assuming you are!) you're going to want to keep a few of the products you prefer, just in case. Even if you haven't gotten your period yet! And if one of your friends don't have one in their time of need, you can totally help them out. 
• Extra pens and pencils; this is just a given!
• Tissues; during cold season, I know not all of my teachers had tissues, so if your nose is runny, these really come in handy. 
• Hand sanitizer; to use before lunch or during cold season.
• Deodorant; This might be gross, but honestly I get sweaty very easily! This is good for when you forget in the morning, after gym, or on those extra hot days.
• A small snack (granola bar, cereal bar); My school is very strict about keeping food and drink in your locker, but a lot of people do it anyways. I'm not encouraging you to break the rules, but if your school allows you to have food, if you forget to eat breakfast, you can eat that!
• Oil blotting sheets; You can use these if you happen to forget to wash your face in the morning, or your face is just extra oily that day!
• Makeup; Just keep the essentials for touch ups!
• Bobbypins, hairties, clips, pre-wrap; This especially helps if you're in sports, but can be handy for anyone when they're having a bad hair day.
• Mints or gum; Admit it, we've all forgot to brush our teeth at least once. This is a major necessity - no one likes stinky breath!
• Bottle of water; Like I said, my school is very strict about this, but they do allow you to have one bottle of water. It's important to keep hydrated! 

Hopefully I got everything! If I forgot something important tell me in the comments. Thank you for reading! :)

Back To School Fashion

     Hey everyone!
     This is my first post for Hayl and mine's Back to School Edition. (Read Hayl's too! Scroll down for her Back to School Lunch Ideas and Back to School Intro!) This post is my Back to School (how about we shorten 'Back to School' and just call it BTS..?) Fashion Post.
     Let's face it, everyone loves shopping for new school clothes. I've put together a list of my favorite stores to shop at, what you should totally buy to rock your look this year, and more!

     Stores to Hit Up:
•Delia's - They have the best jeans for every body type.
•H&M- This store has great trendy pieces to add into your wardrobe.
•Hollister- Hollister has great Southern Cali vibe clothing to add into any closet for summer, or winter!
•Forever 21- This store has everything you need- I could literally buy everything I could ever need for clothes here.
•Victoria's Secret- Need undergarments, perfume/body mists, or yoga wear? This store is perfect!
•Urban Outfitters- If you have a low-key boho style or just want a different style in general, try this store.
•American Eagle- AE has everything you need- cute tees, denim shorts, jeans, etc.
•Cotton On- I've only seen these stores in California, but if you have a Cotton On nearby, check it out!
•Wet Seal- This store is very similar to American Eagle, so if you don't have one of the two, try the other (if that makes any sense whatsoever).
•Free People- Okay so maybe this store is very expensive, but it can't hurt a girl to look right?
•Aerie- If Victoria's Secret isn't your thing, this is a fab alternative!
•Charlotte Russe- Think of it as a downsized Forever 21.


     Essential Pieces:
•Jeans- distressed, dyed, floral, patterned, colored, regular, cropped, skinny, flare, bookcut- doesn't matter! Pick a pair that makes you feel like a rockstar!

                                                        

•Cardigan- throw this over a V-neck, a tank, anything! It can instantly polish a look and make it seem like you put a lot of effort into it. (Which you really didn't!)

                                                  

•A Dress that Represents Your Style- It can be strapless, a maxi, floral- anything that you like that is casual for school while still maintaining killer style!

                                              

•Boots- whether for comfort or day to day use, every style is great!

                                                
•Scarves- patterned, wrap-around, or a basic- you can use scarves for a ton of looks. Whether layered over a big, cozy sweater, or over a dress, or even a basic tee, the possibilities are endless!
                                

•Fall Jacket- There's a style, fit, and color for everyone, and they add a touch of style to doing something as simple as going through a corn maze or jumping in a pile of leaves with friends!

                                    

      Thanks for reading, I know it was a super long post! Any requests or questions for Hayl or I? Leave them in the comments! We'll be sure to answer!

Back To School Series: School Lunch Ideas

Hey there! So this is kind of my first post in this series, if you don't count the intro. I'm really excited to do this one, it seems fun to me for some reason. If you didn't read the title, I'm going to show you some school lunch ideas! These will be decently healthy choices, but come on, we're kids, we all like to eat junk food. But even though something is healthy doesn't mean it isn't just as tasty. Thankfully, as teenagers we don't have to exactly watch our calories and whatnot. I will give you a few lunch ideas, ones that you pack yourself and are easy to prepare, and even what to purchase at school. Keep reading! Sorry this is a lengthy post by the way...

Lunch #1
Contains: Peanut butter and jelly, with pretzels, and fruit.
Prepare: For the sandwich, use whole grain bread (not whole wheat - it can be just as bad as white!), all natural peanut butter, and real fruit jelly. I think we all know how to prepare this one! ;) Zip up in a plastic sandwich baggie. Throw in snack bag full of mini-twist pretzels, and an apple or banana or orange and you'll be all set. Put this all in a brown lunch bag. Either bring a water bottle or buy a milk or water at school when it's lunch time.
Pros: This lunch is healthy, easy and fast to prepare, and satisfies both your sweet tooth and salty cravings. It's a decent amount of food, and fills you up completely!
Cons: If you choose a banana, it might turn a bit brown. As for the sandwich, depending on the temperature and how much jelly was put on, it might get slightly soggy.

Lunch #2
Contains: Cooked pasta, red sauce (optional), veggies, dip, and a cookie.
Prepare: Measure a cup and a half of your favorite type of pasta (cooked, obviously), and put in a sealable tupperware container. Take a couple spoonfuls of spaghetti sauce and mix it in with the pasta (no need to warm up.) Then take some raw veggies, like carrots or celery, and pour a small amount of dressing/dip into a container. Bring along a cookie, just for some sweetness. Drink with some juice provided at school.
Pros: You can use leftover pasta from dinner, and this lunch also satisfies both salty and sweetness.
Cons: If you don't use leftovers, you'll have to prepare the pasta at night, and the veggies won't stay cold.

Lunch #3 - Buying!
Contains: Salad, dressing, bag of baked/Sun chips, fruit, and juice or milk.
Prepare: Going off of what my school provides, go to the salad bar and get some lettuce and top with optional veggies and dressing. Grab a bag of chips, preferably baked or SunChips, along with whatever fruit your school offers. Get a juice or milk to drink. - No preparation, just buy at the school!
Pros: Balanced! You could also prepare this at home if school lunch grosses you out.
Cons: Your school might not offer the same things mine does. You could always alter. :)

Lunch #4 - Time Consuming
Contains: Whole wheat tortilla, chicken or turkey (optional), assorted veggies (shredded carrots/lettuce/peppers/diced tomatoes, etc.), shredded cheese, spreadable cream cheese or mustard (to hold together), crackers with peanut butter, apple sauce or a fruit cup.
Prepare: Take one or two whole wheat/grain tortillas (depending on how hungry you think you'll be) and spread cream cheese/mustard, then add sliced deli meat if you'd like, or just pack with veggies and shredded cheese. Roll up, and use a dab of cream cheese/mustard or even tape if worse comes to worse, to keep together. Take four-six whole grain crackers and spread with peanut butter and make little sandwiches. Add packaged apple sauce or a fruit cup. Drink with water, milk or juice.
Pros: Tasty, has everything you need and the crackers are healthier than the packaged ones you buy.
Cons: Longer to prepare, wraps may fall apart.

But wait - snacks! Depending on when you eat lunch, you might need a small snack throughout the day to keep you going. Here are some of my favorite snacks that you can throw in your bookbag and that are quick to eat... A banana, trail mix, granola bar, cashews, sun dried fruit, raisins, rice cakes, and pretzels!

Phew, that was longgg! I hope you got some good and tasty ideas. :) Thank you so much for reading this whole entire post. If you liked it, let me know, and tell me if you'd like me to do a breakfast one as well!

Hayl

Sorry!

Hey guys. I know, I know. It's been like two and a half months. Honestly, for me, I've just been really busy, and haven't felt like blogging. Buuuuuuuuuuut! We're (by we I mean Hannah and I) are finally on winter break! So, expect lots of holiday-ish, Christmas-y posts! Let me know if you want a 'What I Got For Christmas' blog post, or anything like that. Anywhoozle. Look forward to a few posts throughout the week. Hopefully I'll have lots of posts scheduled to be posted throughout 2012 to make it up!

Book Review: Beach Blondes

     Hey everyone! Today is probably going to be one of my favorite posts like, ever, because I'm doing a book review on one of the best books I've ever read. It's called 'Beach Blondes' and it's by Katherine Applegate. Without further ado, here is my mini-review on the book:

     Summary:  The book starts out with Summer Smith basically loathing her life. She lives in snowy Minnesota and is almost a senior in high school. Between no boyfriend and no action in her town, she's ready to spice things up. Coincidentally, her Aunt Mallory calls and asks if she would like to join her and Summer's cousin in Crab Claw Key, Florida. Of course, she cannot deny the opportunity.

     Summer gets there and meets amazing and unforgettable people. Preferably three guys in which a fortune teller warns her about. One will seem to be the right guy, one will seem to represent mystery, and one will seem to represent danger. (Seth- the super sweet, friendly nice guy... only he has a girlfriend.   Diver- mysterious, a bit strange, but completely harmless.  And Adam- The Senator's son who's kind and attractive.. but his family has a dark side.)

     In the end, Summer falls for a guy- and has the most unforgettable and amazing summer of her life.


     Review:   I could NOT stop reading this book. Literally. I finished in two days and am reading it again. I love the characters, the setting, and romance. (Seth is SO sweet! I kinda wanna marry him.. Lol. If only... ;)) Also, this book has surprising turns, and some jaw-dropping scenes and events. A must read for teen girls, especially for summertime.

     PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read this book! I will be doing more reviews and post on this book, so look for those, and by the way.. this book has a sequel called 'Tan Lines' and I'm dying to read it, so when I do I'll give a review on that as well.

God Bless,
-Hannah


  

Update

Hey guys. If you didn't know already, school has started for Hannah and I. Due to that, we're probably not going to post as often as we used to. Posts will probably come on the weekends, for the obvious reasons. Anywhoozle, sorry for the lack of posts, just letting you know we're still posting.

Healthy Lifestyle Tips!

Hiya! Hayl here. Today I'm writing this blog post about tips on staying healthy, I guess. Before I start here are some disclaimers...

• This is NOT a diet! 
• This is not for losing weight, but maintaining it, and keeping your body healthy overall. 
• This is mainly for people who don't do sports, yet if you do I suppose you can still take some of the tips I suggest here.
• This is partially from personal experience and my not work for all body types.

Now that we got that out of the way... Here are some little tips for staying healthy!

1. Take a jog with a friend (or by yourself! I don't judge.) once in a while! Even if it's just once every couple weeks, running is one of the best exercises you can do.
2. Do crunches and pushups everyday before bed. If you just do 10 pushups, 10 crunches, and alternate about five times every single night, you'll eventually see that you can endure so many more as time goes on! I remember I started doing pushups everyday, I could only do about 15 in the beginning, but I got up to 40 in about two weeks!
3. Run up and down the stairs about 20 times, a couple of times a week. 
4. Listen to music and dance like there's no tomorrow! Dancing is a really good workout too. Do this once a week for about thirty minutes.
5. Eat lots of vegetables! They have lots of nutrients that the body needs.
6. Fruit instead of junk! Fruit isn't as good for you as vegetables due to the high amount of natural sugars, but it definitely is better than processed junk food. So whenever your craving sweets and whatnot, just eat some fruit!
7. Treat yourself once a week. What I do is have dessert just once a week, usually on Saturdays.
8. No soda, and go easy on milk and sweet teas. Soda is very carbonated and just overall bad for you. Milk is loaded with fat, too. Yes, it has calcium, but you can find much healthier ways to get calcium! (I'm not saying to completely cut out milk, just don't drink it as often.) Sweet tea is packed with sugar, too.
9. Whilst "treating" yourself, pick dessert type things over candy.
10. If you eat meat, (or if you're a vegetarian -- even better!) don't eat too much red meat. Red meat isn't good for you at all, and should only be eaten once a week. Chicken is much, much better for you than red meat, but still isn't that great if you eat it too much.
11. Drink lots of water! Sugar free juices are also good for you as well.
12. Multivitamins! It's good to take vitamins just so you make sure you get all the nutrients you might be unintentionally missing out on.
13. Wash your hands a lot! You don't want to get sick!

...And that's all for the tips! Thanks for reading! If you have any tips that I didn't mention, please leave them in the comments below! Cya!

First Day of School Schedule!

Hey guys! So as you saw on Monday, Hannah did a Day-Before-School Schedule type thing, so I decided to do a First Day of School Schedule! (Hannah if you want to do this one too you can!) Anyway, moving on to the actual post.

For the first day, I always shower the night before just so I have some extra time. Sometimes I shower in the morning, but not always! By the way... tell me when you shower, like - in the morning or the night before. I want to know! Because I'm not really sure what I should do... :P

6:00 A.M. - I like to get up pretty early on the first day just because I want to make sure I'm all ready. Normally I'd get up at about 6:30 A.M. I'd also stretch a little bit to wake myself up.

6:05 A.M. - Go to the bathroom. Hey, we all have to do it!

6:10 A.M. - Breakfast! I eat a big breakfast on the first day so I'm energized and ready to go!

6:25 A.M. - Turn on the the music! While I'm getting ready, I LOVE to listen to music. Especially heavy electronic indie - it gets me pumped up and for some odd reason, confident about myself. I know, it's really weird, but true!

6:30 A.M. - Get dressed and do my hair! Obviously I have to do this. I usually get my first-day-outfit all picked out the day before, and for my hair, I do nothing fancy - just quickly straighten it!

7:00 A.M. - Little things. By this I mean cleaning my ears, brushing my teeth, washing face taking my allergy medicine, deodorant, and obviously... Fragrance time!

7:15 A.M. - Get my school bag/backpack and supplies prepared. I will probably do some organizing the day before as well, but at this time I will be setting it up so when I'm leaving I'll have it all ready.

7:25 A.M. - Last minute! Spray some perfume, brush your hair one last time, etc.!

7:30 A.M. - Time to wait for the bus! The you're off to your first day of school school.

7:30 A.M. - 3:15 P.M.(ish) - On the bus and obviously in school!

...And that's all. Thanks for reading! (:

Hayl

August Favorites!

Hello! As you know August has come to an end. May be sad for some, but may be happy for others. It's sad for me, because August is one of my favorite months! Anywhoozle, I'm going to be sharing my makeup and beauty favorites with you. I kind of have a lot of stuff, so this might be a little lengthy.

Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment - This works amazingly. It tingles on your lips and quickly refreshes chapped lips! I like to put this on before bed so in the morning my lips feel nice and healed and soft.

Crest Complete Multi Benefit Toothpaste - This keeps my breath smelling really nice for a long time, yet isn't too strong and minty.

Neutrogena Acne Wash - I'll admit that this makes your face feel very weird in the shower, but once you get out and dry off it's very soft! And obviously, it helps with my acne!

Tresseme Luxurious Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner - I mainly bought this because Tresseme doesn't test on animals, but to my surprise it's my favorite shampoo and conditioner I've ever used! It helps my damaged hair a lot!

Clearasil Vanishing Acne Cream - This gets rid of acne so quickly! For little pimples and zits, if you put a little on it before you go to bed, it'll be almost completely gone in the morning. For bigger problem spots, it'll take a little bit longer, but it still works!

Up & Up Alcohol Free Skin Toner - This is a fairly cheap product, but works really well if you aren't looking for anything that professional and whatnot. If I'm running late in the morning and don't have time to wash my face, I just take a cotton ball, put some of this on it, and put it all over my face for a fast cleaning!

Perricone MD Cosmeceuticals Face Finishing Moisturizer - I have tried a lot of moisturizers, and all of them worked okay, but always left some redness on my face and felt a bit uncomfortable. But this one feels amazing and doesn't make my skin red! It also smells pretty nice. ^^

Smashbox Lip Gloss in Fame - I'm usually not a fan of bright pink lip glosses, but Fame by Smashbox is so pretty and not overwhelming like some!

Fresh's Tinted Lip Treatment with SPF 15 in Sugar Rose - I LOVE this product! It moisturizes my lips and leaves a tint of color!

Aussie Instant Freeze Sculpting Gel - I like to use this when I put my hair up, to make all of the missed pieces stay in place where they're supposed to. I know a lot of people normally would use hairspray to do this, but honestly I don't really like hairspray... haha!

Philosophy Inner Grace Body Wash - This smells SO good! It can also be used as a shampoo, but personally I only use it as a body wash.

Degree - Motion Sense Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant in Fresh Energy

Bath & Body Works Sensual Amber Fragrance Mist - This is by far my favorite product from Bath & Body Works. It's the longest lasting body mist (and one of the best smelling mists, too) that I've had!

Bath & Body Works Pocketbac in Sugar Lemon - If you didn't know, Pocketbacs are basically just mini hand sanitizers. And like any sanitizer, it sometimes has that chemically smell. But not this one! And that's what I love about it.

Chameleon Nail Polish in Calypso - This nail polish is by far my favorite one. It changes colors and doesn't streak and takes a while for it to start chipping. The best part - they're affordable too!

...And those were all of the products that I used a lot in the month of August! I hope you enjoyed reading.

Xoxo,
Hayl

How To: The Perfect Manicure

     I just painted my nails, so that's what inspired this post! Here are my tips for the perfect manicure:

1)  Use nailpolish remover and remove nailpolish. Even if you aren't wearing any nailpolish, it's good to do it anyways just in case!

2)  Cut your nails or trim them.

3)  File your nails.

4)  Wash your nails with soap and water.

5)  Use a base coat.

6)  Paint your nails a fun color!

7)  Use a top coat.

8) Let them dry, and wella! Your done!


Thanks for reading!
God Bless,
-Hannah

Update!

Hiya guys! If you haven't noticed, Hannah and I have been posting sporadically on different days. That's because now we're going to be posting on whatever days we feel like we should, instead of strictly one. Plus it's going to be easier and more flexible of a schedule for us when school starts.

Thanks for understanding!,
Hayl

The Day Before Back to School!

     I don't know about you, but the day before the first day of school is always a hectic and crazy one for me. I put together a small list of things I like to do the on that day so I'm extra prepared (and distracted so I'm not getting even more worried!). Here is my list, feel free to use it!

September 6th, 2011:

7:00 AM:  Wake up! It's always a great idea to wake up early so your a bit used to it by the time school rolls around.

7:15 AM:  Go downstairs, watch TV, do whatever you need to do to wakeup before starting your day.

7:30 AM:  Breakfast time! ALWAYS eat breakfast even if it's something little. If I'm really not hungry, I'll have a glass of chocolate milk or something light so I have some food in me.

8:00 AM:  Go on the computer. I check my Twitter, ( @glittergal64 is my Twitter name) YouTube, personal website, ( http://www.hannahs-vanity.blogspot.com/ ) this site, and some other random ones.

9:00 AM:  Get ready for the day. This includes showering, makeup, hair, and getting dressed.

11:00 AM:  Clean out dresser and go through those clothes. I look for things I don't wear, that don't fit, I don't like, and things I don't see are good options for school- and put them in a bag to be donated.

11:30 AM:  Clean out closet. Again, I look for things I don't wear, that don't fit, I don't like, and things I don't see are good options for school- and put them in a bag to be donated.

12:00 PM:  Complete cleaning of my room. I look for things that I don't or use and give them to my sisters. I throw things out (paper, tissues, etc.). I also make my bed, and do anything else I need to do to make my room school ready.

1:30 PM:  Lunchtime! I'll make a healthy lunch and enjoy it with my family.

2:00 PM:  I'll to Walgreens or another drugstore to get a few things I need. (An extra notebook, bobby pins, hair clips, a few hair products, makeup remover, and possibly a new makeup product.)

2:30 PM:  Take a walk/ jog with a friend or my mom.

3:00 PM:  Continue with exercise- crunches, push-ups, and some Wii Fit to get my body in tip-top shape for school.

3:45 PM:  A break and healthy snack.

4:15 PM:  TV and some family time.

5:30 PM:  Dinner.

6:15 PM:  Shower! I triple wash my hair for extra clean-ness and shine, double wash my face, and clean the rest of my body.

6:45 PM:  Shaving time!

7:00 PM:  Now it's time to do my hair. First, I brush my hair out with a wide toothed comb. Then, I put in a hair product to make my hair shiny and silky or I'll put in a leave in conditioner. After that, I put in a heat protectant and blow dry my hair. (For blow drying, I use a guide from Seventeen Magazine.)

7:30 PM:  This is kind of my make-sure-everything-is-perfect time. I get on my pajamas, and make sure everything I need for my outfit the next day is perfect, along with my school backpack. I also pick out the makeup I'm wearing.

8:00 PM:  I read my Bible, and my devotional book,

8:30 PM:  I read a random book. Maybe "Sweet Little Lies" by Lauren Conrad?

9:00 PM:  One last computer time before going to bed. You can expect a post from me at that time!

9:30 PM:  Get settled in bed. And drink a big glass of water.

9:40 PM:  Get ready for Rachel Zoe Project coming on at 10 o'clock!

10:00 PM:  Rachel Zoe Project, then bed!


     This is a pretty long day, but completely nessasary. These are NOT exact times or events, but are what I would like to do on that day. So thanks for reading!

God Bless,
-Hannah

Thanks for reading!

Study Tips

Hello! Hayl here. This is my second post here on HHW, and it's going to be about... studying! I know, ew, studying. But, it's part of school and can help you with testing and keep your grades up. Basically, it benefits you in the end! Anyway, let's get started.

• Study even when you don't have a test. This might seem like a drag, and really, really stupid and boring, but like I've said before, it can benefit you in the end. What you can do is, get out your social studies book or math notebook and just read over the lesson you completed in class. After you finish your homework each night, study just one subject, and alternate each day.
• Don't study too long. This sounds a little weird, I know. But when you study too long, it seems even more like a chore than it already is. Don't study for more than 30 minutes straight, then take a little break. 
• Get comfortable. If your back is aching while you're studying, chances are that it's going to drag on. Instead, get a bunch of pillows and make a little "fort" type thing on the floor in your room. It's kind of fun to make, and not to mention, very comfortable!
• Find a study buddy. Whether it be your best friend, or that cute guy in your English class (haha!)... get someone to study with! Even if you just kind of hang out for an hour or so, it'll make your study experience a lot easier.

That's all for today! I hope you enjoyed reading. Cya!

Best Back to School Movie?

Ok, so, if you know me in real life like Hayley does, you know I'm kind of in love with Taylor Lautner. :) Lol. And guess what? He's in a new movie! It's called "Abduction" and it's an action movie. I watched the trailor four times and I am dying to see the movie! Here is the trailor, YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT!

It's the perfect back to school movie for anyone who loves action and romance, perfect to go see with a group of friends! Plus, Taylor Lautner is in it, so that makes it 578,344,224,194,789,235,345 times better! ♥

Thanks for reading, and I demand you to watch the trailor:)
