Holly Jolly TAG (2nd edition!)

Emergency Kit For Girls

So we have all had that moment where the zipper on your jeans break, or the back of your earring falls, off but of course you have nothing to fix this problem, so what do you do? I have created my very own emergency kit that covers all of the things I could think of that I would need! Here is the little bag I fit it all in... Safety Pins in case a strap breaks Earring Backs in case you lose one Small Hairbands/Rubber Bands Bobby Pins I pack them like this in this little bag for easy access An extra contact in case one falls out or rips (If applicable) Oil Blotting Sheets Once again, easy access A few dollers Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Advil, any legal over the counter pain reliever  Band-aids for cuts and Blisters A pad or tampon in case of a "surprise" Chapstick or Lipgloss A nail file and a small bottle of clear fingernail polish for a quick fix on cuts or nails Hair-b...

Most of you have probably heard of it before (I'm just slightly behind) it is called Etsy.com ! I just happened upon it last night through another website ( www.thisiswhyimbroke.com ) and I am now IN LOVE!

Come on do it... You will never get it! $9.50! Thats right six Christmas Presents for under ten bucks!  Cha-Ching!! :) The next amazing shop I found is one by  NiciLaskin .

Some Not so Workout, Workouts! (School Edition...)

Easy ways to workout at school, and no one will ever be the wiser! Cram and Jam Get fit while you’re stuck in class! You can pull of these calf-tightening moves while sitting in your chair – and nobody will ever notice. Cross your legs and point the toe of the leg that’s dangling, then trace the alphabet with your foot. When you’re done, point your heel at the floor and stretch toes back for 10 seconds or so. Switch legs, and repeat on the other side. Just don’t space out – the teacher might call on you! Leg extensions in Latin While sitting at your desk, extend your legs, one at a time, until they are completely straight. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds at a time, then slowly release back to the floor. If ya need to, keep your legs at an angle so they slide under the chair in front of you. For a serious burn, try 10 to 15 reps at a snail’s pace, using your abs to pull your legs up and lower them down. Hip flexors in history While sitting in your chair, lift your right foo...

Some Not So Workout, Workouts!

So you don't want to workout, but you really need to... Here are a few ways to trick you bod into thinking you are doing just everyday tasks, while you get in an awesome workout! Slim Surfin’ Time spent on your computer doesn’t have to be fitness free! If you have rubber playground ball, squeeze it between your knees to tighten thighs while you IM your friends. Or try this: Scoot your bum forwards a few inches from the back of your seat. Now, squeeze your butt cheeks together as hard as you can. Hold and squeeze for a few seconds, rest and repeat several times.  Tone on the Phone When your phone rings, take the call standing up. Just standing instead of sitting makes a big difference in how many calories you burn! Then, sit down and stand back up 10 times in a row during each call. Do that 10 times in a day, and you’ve done 30 squats – enough to seriously tighten your thighs! You can also grab a tennis ball and squeeze it in your hands, it will tighten your forearms ...
