I'm a 13 year old girl interested in art and music and I need to redecorate my room. It is all pink and little-kid-ish and I'm sick of it. I have a friend who put Christmas lights around the top of her room and I was kind of going for that original style. Any ideas?
Answer
Hello There,
We all like a nice peaceful retreat and definitely our bedroom is one of those places. I have a 13 year old and we redid her room when she was 12 (last year).
1. We painted her room with silver blue and white (Behr satin finish). Two walls blue, two walls white.
2. We then chose two paintings (from Marshalls) One was a blue hues ocean scene with waves with a white finish frame and the other was a blue painted frame of teenagers playing in the water by the ocean side. It has more light to it. We placed that on the blue wall. We also added a silver oval framed mirror and and rectangular family picture collage frame.
If you really want a string of lights you can hang it along the window.
3. Her bedding is a mixture of different shades of blue, yellow and fuchcia. It is a very peaceful room..
4.We also put a small microwave kitchen cart in her room where she has a terrarium with seashells sitting on top of it. The shelves hold her school supplies. . You can find this at the resource below.
I wish I could show you a picture but it is truly a retreat for her.
This is not an expensive makeover. Follow what we did and choose your own colors. Walmart, Target and Marshalls are all great stores.Discuss it with your parents and
email me if you have any questions.
Happy decorating,
Romona
What are some good ideas for my 15th birthday party (themes, etc)?
I am turning 15 in December and having my birthday party. 15 girls are invited (no guys). It's going to be a day party I think, not a sleepover. What would be some fun party activities and themes? Keep answers appropriate or I will report you.
There will be NO alcohol or drugs at my party. It's going to be at my house, and I live far away from the town so we can't do anything in town. The oldest girl is 17, the youngest is 14. Thanks!
Answer
80's theme parties are the BEST.
attire, and decoration:
you can buy afro-style wigs(different colors) and give them out as party favors.
big green plastic belts. Bell bottom jeans. Aviator sunglasses with plastic frames. lots of bandannas. beads, or beaded gasparilla-style necklaces.
A disco Ball, or one of the rotating colored light ball things.
Music:
if you get your parents involved and have them help you find music, they will probably be more excited about the party and therefore willing to get you more decorations, and be more lenient as far as duration of the party, the volume of the music, the number of kids, ect.
Time and Duration:
My house is almost always the party house, and i ALWAYS start my parties a 7:45. might seem weird, but most people don't give it much thought, this however is VERY important to the success of my parties. the idea is that if you say "6 O'clock" or even worse "around 6ish", people will show up between 5:30 and 7:30. When the first person arrives, you will greet them, offer them a drink, and be polite, then you will sit around and wait for more people to show up, and they will trickle in... eventually, you will turn the music on, and people will be reluctant to dance, the whole night, will be "low energy" and "chill". If however you say "be at my house at 5:45, or i'll kill your dog." then everyone will show up on time (at least between 5:30 and 6:00, and you will be greeting people left and right, everyone who hasn't seen each other in a while, will be screaming and hugging, and laughing, then you shout "i'll be right back!" then go in the other room and break out the wigs, hit the music, and a energetic and enthusiastic evening ensues.
(just to clarify - it doesn't matter what time of day, just that you are specific about it.)
Cuisine:
since it's girls, i'd skip the hot wings and pizza, do something savory rather than sweet (i.e. cookies, cake and ice cream) as that would be putting sugar on top of sugar.
i can't think of anything off the top of my head, but if someone called me right now and said that i had 20 screaming 14 year old girls coming my way, i would make something that could spill and not stain, like rice, chicken, vichy carrots... i don't know, good luck with that one.
Activities:
1Dance off - for a prize
2Limbo
3Pinata
4this game is incredibly fun, but if you are embarrassed to tell your friends to do it, instruct your parents say "before anyone is allowed to eat, everyone go to the center of the room... now, everyone has to grab two hands, your right hand should be holding someones left hand, and your left hand should be holding someones right... now, without letting go, you have to untangle yourselves into one giant circle." it's best with 8 or more people.
5swimming - if you have a pool
6sardines - it's like hide n' seek, except 1 person hides while everyone else is in a room with the door shut, then everyone looks around the house, finds the person, tags them inconspicuously, and quietly returns to base... last person back is the new hider.
7i have a bonfire in my backyard every time i have guests.
avoid moves - not really quality time.
i also try to stay away from video games
8text bombing - chose one victim with unlimited texting, and have everyone send them as many messages as possible, at the same time. something like 'who is your daddy, and what does he do?'
(don't make it a mean message, or you could all get in trouble for bullying)
9taking pictures can always be fun.
10water gun fights, and shaving/whipped cream fights are also fun.
11donut baseball
12and shaving cream baseball (just use a whiffle ball and fill it) a tee might be a good idea.
13you could try to convince your parents to cover your entire floor of your bedroom with plastic and have a splatter paint fest that you could cover with paint and re-do next year.
14make-up party
good luck, i hope your party is a blast from the past!
