Be yourself, there's no one better ❤❤❤

Hey guys, so this set was requested by @gabrielleabir, and she meant like how to get your parents to leave you alone when you're studying, or doing chores and stuff and they won't get out of your room. So I thought long and hard about this, sorry if it's not very helpful but I hope you like it!
 
TALK;
This ties in with everything. You have to talk to them. Try to tell them that you have a lot of study/homework to do and you need to be left alone. Tell them that them being in your room all the time is very distracting, and also say that you need to be independent and you can get things done by yourself. Hopefully they understand and stop, but if they don’t, then you could contact and uncle or aunty, or a family friend to have a chat with them about your independence and just letting you get on with things.
 

TRUST;
You have to get your parents to trust you. Maybe the reason why they aren’t leaving you alone is because they don’t trust you, and they don’t think you are actually doing your work. So always do your work/study/chores when they need to be done, but if you’re slacking off, don’t let em catch you ;)
 

BREAKS;
If you’re taking a break, and your parents come in to check on you and realise you’re not working and start to lecture, you have to explain to them that you need to take breaks. Tell them you shouldn’t work too hard because you need to look after yourself. Make sure they know that breaks are important!
 

BE HONEST;
If you lie, and say that you’re doing your homework when you’re not, they could find out and make you do it where they are, or nag you about it.
 

OTHER JOBS;
If your parents ask you to do certain things for them when you get home from school, then try to get them done early before you start your study because otherwise they might lecture you about it and make you do them, interrupting your studying. If you really need to do lots of studying- as much as possible- then explain you can’t do the job right now because you have tons of studying to do.
 
So i really hope all of these tips help to get your parents to leave you alone. All parents are different, some are a little bit harder on you, but remember they always love you ;) ❤

Hey gooooiiiuze <33
Todays tip is going to be on studded vans and these have become a HUGE trend everywhere so I hope you enjoy!
 
{WHAT YOU NEED}

♥Any pair of Vans!
♥150 – 200 brass cone spikes
♥E6000 adhesive / super glue
♥a disposable container or popsicle stick
♥toothpicks

Okay, so the blue Vans in the set go with these instructions, so if you want the studs to look that way, glue them onto the toe and heel cap. If you like the way the pink studs look, then just follow the lines and glue them on the side.

What to do:
 
♥1 Start by squeezing a small amount of E6000 into a disposable container or onto a wooden popsicle stick. Use a small amount at a time so the glue doesn't dry out quickly. Using the tip of a toothpick, apply a small dollop of glue onto the back of a spike.

 
♥2 Press the spike into the sneaker, holding it in place for a few seconds.

 
♥3 Continue adding spikes along the shoe’s baseline and working upwards in horizontal lines.

 
♥4 Arrange the spikes, without glue, into empty spaces before attaching them.

 
♥5 Glue spikes onto the heel cap, again working horizontally.

 
♥6 Allow the shoes to dry overnight before wearing them!

That's it! I really hope you liked this tip, and if you want to, do this on your precious Vans, you won't regret it!!!

*First, you need some cotton batting, a paper lantern, and three flameless candles.

*Pull at the cotton batting until it looks fluffy, light, and cloud-like.

*Then, hot glue it to the outside of the paper lantern in various places. Make sure it´s fluffed to your liking.

*Then light the lights and stick them inside.

*Hang the lantern and you're done!

Pour the diamond glitter into the jar.
 
~Step 3~
Seal the jar tightly.
 
~Step 4~
Shake the jar as hard as you can, and voila! Fairies in a jar.

Hey It's Coral(yet again). This set is for people who worry about their upcoming birthday party or have absolutely no idea what to do for it. These are some good tips but all in all just be prepared.
 
THEME
Ok so the very first thing you need to do is decide what you are going to do for your party. Here are some options you might like to do:
 
*Sleepover - these are super fun but the downside is you usually can only invite a few people.
 
*Going somewhere - You can go somewhere like the pool, laser force, the movie theater, bowling, just stuff like that.
 
*Themed party - For this you stay home and you pick a theme and do the games, the food, the decorations, everything around that. You can even get people to dress up!
 
*Dinner - this is for people who just want a few people to celebrate your birthday with, a dinner at a nice resteraunt.
 
So those are just some basic options, but once you decide what you are going to do the rest is relatively easy.
 
GUESTS
Put together a list of everyone you want to bring(keeping in mind the theme of your party), and remember the more guests the more presents you get ;)
 
FOOD
Make a list of the foods you want(again keeping in mind the theme of your party) and buy them the day before. Make the cake the day of your party before it starts so the the cake stays fresh.
 
GAMES
Only do games if you are having a sleepover or a themed party or anything else that doesn't include going anywhere. Buy the supplies for the games the day before as well.
 
Enjoy your party, I hope this helped :)

Okay, so we just got our first lot of homework for second term, and I decided to make this set because I'm not the best at staying on top of all my homework when I get a huuuuge load. So just follow these tips and hopefully we can stay on top. ;)
 
♥Write down all the homework you have in a notebook. Cross each thing off once you've done it. This helps you make sure you do everything and I always feel a sort of reward when I cross something off ;). Try to check it everyday when you get home from school.
 
♥Organize all your homework in a binder/folder.
 
♥Do it when you get home. I know everyone says this but it's really important to do as much as you can (without pushing yourself too far) as soon as you get home. Otherwise you may just end up leaving it to the last minute and not getting it done.
 
♥Do your hardest homework first. Then you can work down to the easiest, and get the hard stuff out of the way :)
 
♥Don't be afraid to ask for help. Ask your parents to help you, and if they're busy, call a friend. Don't get them to do all the work, just share some ideas. And if you don't understand the work, don't freak out, just ask your teacher the next day.
 
♥If you have any free time in a class or at school, try to get some of it done there. c:
 
♥Take breaks! Yeah, you need to get it done, but don't push yourself too far. Take a break after each item of homework, or whenever you feel like you need one. Eat a snack, do some exercise, stretch out. Don't take too many breaks though and not for too long.
 
♥Clear the area. I always get distracted when my work area is messy, so have a tidy surface to work on. Also, keep your phone/ipod far away. I always end up scrolling through instagram when I'm trying to do my homework ;p
 
♥If you have a ridiculous amount of homework and it's extremely late, just stop. It won't be quality work anyway, and you need to get sleep.Understand when it's time to stop.
 
♥Make sure you bring home everything you need; pens, pencils, math tools, if you don't have them at home.
 
♥If you know you'll forget to look at your notebook, set reminders on your phone when you have to do an important piece of homework. Or you can make a schedule on your calendar or something on what homework you will try to do when.
 
Okay thats it. I really hope these tips will help you get it all done. Good luck!
