Ideas for teen girls bedroom?

Megan

My room is painted white with black furniture and pink accents. I have this poster in my room

and I want my room to go with it but still be fun, seeing as how I'm only seventeen.
I need new bedding. Suggestions?

Answer
Hey,
I've been looking for idea's for my room too,
So far I've only found ones for either adults or little kids -.-
I'm 17 too btw,

You could go for a romantic style bedroom...
Maybe red/pinky colour bedding with gold? that'd go nice something like this

http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://bellavitafbg.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/amorbedweb.111201636_std.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.bellavitafbg.com/amore_dolce_cottage&usg=__d-FeJwVTdyEkzab9Bg09aHOAv-0=&h=533&w=800&sz=71&hl=en&start=21&zoom=1&tbnid=uZwvACDCl30gIM:&tbnh=109&tbnw=164&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dromantic%2Bbedding%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D717%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C751&um=1&itbs=1&ei=i3efTKa0M5CTjAfOp7mIDQ&iact=rc&dur=429&oei=g3efTJTtBcKRjAfgxLWXDQ&esq=2&page=2&ndsp=32&ved=1t:429,r:30,s:21&tx=133&ty=64&biw=1440&bih=717

you could have black iron candle colders on the wall, with again redy/pinky colour candles, even if you don't use them, they still look nice,

you could have big plush chair your room, or a small sette, or even do what I've done and have huge pink fold out camping chair, with lot's of pillows/cushions on it, could buy cute cushions easy enough, you could keep with the whole romantic theme with going for soft cushions with detal on them or you could get bright colour ones to keep it fun, or ones with captions on/ funny quotes or even cartoons. You could even but a cheap t-shirt with something odd on the frount and cut it up and stich it on the frount of a plain cushion.

(the camping chair I have is actually really comfy + Looks good, to stop the metal legs from showing at the bottom, I've thrown a blanket over it

it looks like this but pink

You could have a feature mirror like this

http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://littleshopofmirrors.com/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/dutchivory.jpg&imgrefurl=http://littleshopofmirrors.com/%3Fpage_id%3D3%26category%3D9%26product_id%3D7&usg=__po5b4Uu8TvH_F9FJdP497D-721c=&h=640&w=543&sz=47&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=rzZADneEDY6UMM:&tbnh=139&tbnw=118&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfeature%2Bmirror%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D717%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=465&ei=jHqfTIq5HJO7jAeapIX3DA&oei=jHqfTIq5HJO7jAeapIX3DA&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=31&ved=1t:429,r:17,s:0&tx=66&ty=69

or even a gold one to tie in with the bedding?

you could have photo's of you and your friends or things out of magasines wedged in the corners of the mirror,

You could get a another poster to match the one you've already got, or even have a cluster of posters in your room

you could have a rug, to make things look cosy

Oh, and I advise getting lots of knick nacks
jewelry holders out on the side with things dangling off it

http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://images.etsy.com/all_images/7/73e/a42/il_430xN.14266973.jpg&imgrefurl=http://sinthesiscm.blogspot.com/&usg=__6un-XuquItXjwThk2UvVJLflvlY=&h=338&w=430&sz=47&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=qLgloyzVsGUQqM:&tbnh=138&tbnw=176&prev=/images%3Fq%3Djewelry%2Bholders%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D717%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=333&ei=mXufTNbRHZDKjAfEy-z6DA&oei=mXufTNbRHZDKjAfEy-z6DA&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=36&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&tx=57&ty=60

That's kinda cute

Or you could have jewelry boxes/ other boxes around your room, just odd little things,

Oh, and for at night time, you could buy some pink fairy lights, it sounds childish but they make your room seem so cosy, it really pulls everything together, to keep in with the romantic theme why don't you get flower ones, something like this

http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.grahamandgreen.co.uk/stormsites/gandg/images/products/XAN7765_M1.jpg%3Flc%3Den-GB%26lv%3D3&imgrefurl=http://www.hearthofthehome.co.uk/2010/05/fairy-lights-for-your-fireplace/comment-page-1/&usg=__sVfSl2keQa423F-2M-wjakqE3Yo=&h=450&w=450&sz=40&hl=en&start=90&zoom=1&tbnid=r7YmxT4X2HluHM:&tbnh=129&tbnw=148&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpink%2Bfairy%2Blights%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D717%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C1686&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=885&vpy=201&dur=32&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=174&ty=113&ei=VnyfTJi6GJm8jAf--7CYDQ&oei=IHyfTI37EcK7jAfKrs2dDQ&esq=5&page=4&ndsp=32&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:90&biw=1440&bih=717

I hope I've helped,

au pair experiences/advice?

Massie

hi, i have been considering do a year of being an au pair in america once i finish school (am currently in year 11). i am from australia. i was just wondering what is really is like being one, any good/bad experiences you have had etc. thanks heaps xo

Answer
I've been an au pair and it is an amazing experience, but it's not always easy. You have good days and bad days, just like you would at home if you weren't an au pair. You will get homesick, this is very normal. Spending an entire year overseas away from your friends and family is hard, but it's so rewarding and you'll be so glad you did it! You'll gain so much independence and self-confidence.

For your safety, I highly recommend you go through an agency like Au Pair in America. Going through an agency means the host family will be checked out, and the agency will do an inspection of their home to make sure it is safe and you have your own private bedroom.

You need to choose your host family based on your compatibility and how comfortable you feel talking to them during the interview process, regardless of where they live. If you pick a family just because they live in a place you like, then it is more likely you won't get along with them and you'll end up regretting it. Be open minded, flexible and remain positive throughout the entire journey.

The job itself is pretty simple - you look after the kids when the parents are busy. If you have babies or very young children then you can expect to work long hours. School aged children are the best because then you get more free time during the day. With older kids you'll probably be responsible for getting them ready for school, preparing light meals for them, helping with homework, planning activities they like for the afternoons, driving them to activities and making sure they shower, brush their teeth and go to bed on time. With babies and younger children you'll also need to prepare bottles, feed them, bathe them, change nappies etc.

On top of your childcare duties, you should be willing to help out around the house with general tidying and errands - like stacking the dishwasher, or doing a grocery shopping once a week. This is just regular stuff that you would probably do at home with your own family. You won't be required to do any heavy duty cleaning like mopping, cleaning bathrooms or anything like this.

You can also expect to sometimes join the family on their vacations to amazing places and to visit extended family like grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc.

If you choose the right family, you will enjoy your time and it won't take long before you feel like you fit in and they will become like real family to you. The host parents will treat you like an older daughter, and the kids will look up to you like a big sister.

The most important quality for an au pair to have is great communication skills. If you're having any issues, you need to discuss it with your host parents. If you keep quiet and don't say anything, then they will have no idea. You can't just assume they can read your mind. Lots of girls make this mistake and are too scared to speak up, then they have a terrible time and end up hating the whole experience.

I personally loved my time as an au pair. I had a fantastic host family. I still keep in touch with them all the time and can't wait to go back and see them again. My host mom was extremely generous and super kind, and my host kids were so much fun and actually very well behaved most of the time. They argued like normal kids every now and then, but they would get over it.

I did meet a lot of other au pairs in my local area (it's inevitable that you will meet loads of other au pairs during your stay), and a couple of them did have a lot of issues with their host families. I knew one girl who hated her host parents and couldn't wait to leave, but I think she was just a little too picky because every little thing annoyed her. Her host parents could sense that she didn't like them, so I think they also couldn't wait for her to leave and so their house just became a really hostile environment. But that family's next au pair had a great time with them, so it really just depends on how well your personalities match.

You don't need any special skills to be an au pair. There are so many different host families out there for different types of au pairs. It doesn't matter if you're quiet and shy, or super loud and outgoing. As long as you enjoy looking after kids, and you have the energy and positive attitude then I say go for it!

I hope this helps. :)
