Hallmark Cards

Since a lot of holidays are coming up, Hallmark cards are a great way to show celebration! Hallmark tries to make cards different from ordinary cards. Ordinary cards usually just say "Happy Birthday", but Hallmark takes it to a whole new level. They design them and with some of the cards, comes with little accessories. One of the cards I received was a cute card with a necklace attached, another card I got was a fold able card that turned into a bow purse with a chain on it. I like how they don't just rush while making these cards, they take the time to try and make each one very unique and different from the other cards.

Here are the cards I got:

Jules Smith

Jules Smith accessories are all different and unique. They have layered necklaces, chokers, bracelets and much more. They don't just make a lot of the same designed necklaces. They make them all different. I have gotten two necklaces from them and I was very pleased with what I received. I got the Supernova necklace and the Arya Necklace. I really liked them both for different reasons. The first one was that both of them are just very simple, I don't really like necklaces that have a lot on it so when I got the necklaces I was very happy. Second, I liked the Supernova necklace a little more because it was the general size of normal necklaces and it went with anything to wear. Third, the Arya necklace was extremely cute and it was a simple necklace that wasn't quite a choker, but it wasn't quite a necklace, it was in the middle.

Here are some pictures of the necklaces:

Dance shoes!

When you are a dancer, you will need a pair of dance shoes. This depends on what type of dance you do though. If you take hip hop you would just need a sturdy pair of sneakers or tennis shoes. If you take ballet, you need either paws or ballet shoes. If you take point, you would need point shoes.

Popsockets

If you look at teenagers with their phones, about 50% of them have a pop socket on the back of it. Some of you might ask, what is a pop socket, or why are they on your phone. Pop sockets are one of the newest things that are really cool. Here are some things that they do:

Help you get a better grip of your phone

Prop your phone if you are watching videos

Make it easier to take pictures

Make your phone look cooler

If you are wanting one, you can order a pre-made online, or you can design your own on http://www.popsockets.com/ . It costs from a range of around $10-$30. If you design your own you should expect it to be more than $15. If you buy a pop socket, you should make sure that you put it in the spot you will always want it on because it is very hard to take off.

How to make your hair healthier

Going through middle with dead and dried out hair is hard, especially because you know people are constantly judging you. While going through middle school and high school, having your hair be like that is normal because of all the hormones. Your hair will be greasy, you will have split ends and you will have dandruff...you can't fully stop it although there are ways to improve it. There are many efficient ways to cleanse your hair and make it look great, you would be surprised what certain products can do for your hair.

Honey and egg whites; it makes your hair a lot shinier and look healthy
Only put conditioner on the bottom half of your hair, don't let it touch the roots, this causes dandruff
Before using conditioner, wring out your hair very good to make sure that the conditioner gets through the strands of hair and when ready to wash out the conditioner, rinse it with cold water.
Adding a little bit of baking soda with lemon juice to your shampoo helps control dandruff
Milk helps make hair shinier and cleaner in general

Don't use these two days in a row, only every other day, it is bad to be washing hair daily because the hair roots need oils to stay healthy.

Mistakes to not make while shopping!

Everyone has made at least one mistake while taking a shopping spree, here are my top 5 mistakes that I hope you don´t make also.

Losing the receipt, if you lose the receipt you most likely wont be able to return it if you need to
Not checking sizes, sometimes I think that clothes will fit but if you don´t check the size or try it on it might be too big, too tight, or just not look good on you
Do not put things in your cart unless you are buying it, sometimes if you put something in your cart that you don´t want to buy, you might forget you put it there and end up buying it by accident
Don´t come in last minute because they might be waiting on you and there is nothing more embarrassing than that
Be aware of return policies, they might not let you return something after a certain period of time, so make sure to ask the sales person
