Would you like to host a sleepover that your friends will love? Then plan ahead for a night of fantastic fun!

Part of planning the perfect sleepover is selecting a night you know your friends will be available. Check with them first before officially setting a date. Invite your friends at least one week in advance, to give their parents enough notice to plan around dropping your best buds off in the evening, and picking them up the next morning after the slumber party. Let your friends know to bring a sleeping bag, pillow, and an overnight bag containing their PJ’s, toothbrush, and anything else they may want to make them feel extra comfortable.

Be a Party Planner!

Plan what you would like to do at your sleepover, and make sure you are ready when the day arrives. Below are some slumber party suggestions that may require a bit of preparation time.

· If you would like to tell scary stories, be sure to stop by the library or a local bookstore in advance to pick up a book of short ghost stories or creepy tales.
· If you want to do makeovers at your sleepover, and take glamour shots with a camera, be sure to tell your friends to bring some of their mom’s or sister’s old makeup to play with. Make sure you have film (unless it’s a digital camera) and batteries so your photo shoot won’t be a bust.
· If you are planning to watch a video, ask your friends what they would like to watch, and rent something the majority can agree on.
· Let your mom, dad, or guardian know what you and your friends would like to have some munchies before the night of your sleepover. By telling your parents in advance, they can plan to go to the store and pick up items that are not already in the house.

Fun Things to Do at a Slumber Party

Now that you know how to plan for the perfect slumber party, here are some awesome ideas to keep you entertained all evening. Choose from the list below of fun things to do, and you’ll be sure to have a great time!

1. Watch a video
2. Play Truth or Dare
3. Do makeovers and take pictures of the end result. Get expert tips on how to use makeup from the Winx Making Faces online makeup books!
4. Play makeup mayhem! Partner up in groups of two, and blindfold one person in each group. Have the blindfolded person select from an assortment of old makeup that you have put out on a table (to be safe, avoid mascara and eyeliner). Have the blindfolded person apply makeup the best they can on their partner with only their hands to guide them. Switch partners afterwards and enjoy the laughs. Be sure to have permission from your parents before playing this game, and be certain to have face wash handy for afterwards.
5. Play dress up. Put on outrageous outfits and do a fashion show. Be sure to strut your stuff with plenty of attitude.
6. Play board games, card games, or a game of charades.
7. Play True or False. One person has to tell a somewhat believable story that could be either true or false, and then each person has to guess if the story is real or make believe. Change the storyteller each time to allow everyone a chance to fool their friends with a tall tale. Be sure to tell whether if your story is real or not in the end – or else rumors could fly!
8. Put on a talent show. Lip sync to your favorite songs, play air guitar, dance or sing your heart out. Let the group be the judge of who’s the champion.
9. Do crafts. Do your friends like to make jewelry? Weave colorful bracelets or bead necklaces while catching up on the latest gossip.
10. Test your psychic abilities. Use a deck of cards to see if you and your friends can communicate telepathically. Pick a card from the deck and concentrate on it without showing it to your friends. Use note paper to have your friends write down what color, suit, and number they believe the card to be. See who comes closest to guessing right!
11. Tell scary stories. Put your sleeping bags in a circle with your heads facing inward and read ghost stories or tell scary tales while using only a flashlight to keep the dark at bay. You’ll be sure to get chills up your spine. Before you opt for some scary entertainment, however, make sure none of your friends have nightmares, because a sleepless night isn’t fun for anyone.
12. Pamper yourselves with a spa night. Give each other manicures and pedicures. Check out the Winx spa recipes to find great ideas for scrubs and masks to keep your skin feeling soft and looking beautiful. While you wait for your nail polish to dry, exchange your favorite beauty tips with your best buds.

Craft Ideas that Will Make Your Sleepover the Best Ever!

How to Create Fancy Flip Flops:

With summer just around the corner, shoe stores are full of fancy sandals and flip flops that are ultra cool. Unfortunately, a new pair of flashy flip-flops may empty your piggy bank or have you begging for more allowance. Luckily, you can get the great look of fancy flip-flops without spending a fortune. Read below to discover how to make your own awesome summer sandals.

Getting Started – Finding the Right Supplies

The great thing about this craft is that the only thing you need to get started is a pair of plain flip-flops to decorate and some strong glue. It doesn’t matter what color your flip-flops are, or if they are old. In fact, old flips flops are super fun to decorate, because when you’re finished, you will feel like you have a brand new pair of shoes! Read below to get some great decorating ideas and get ready to have some fun!

Items you can use for decorating are:

1. sea shells
2. old jewelry
3. sequins
4. buttons
5. sparkles or glitter spray
6. waterproof paints
7. fake flowers
8. beads
9. anything else you think would look great!

Begin by deciding how you would like to decorate your flip-flops. Would you like to paint them first, or keep them plain? What objects, if any, would you like to decorate your flip-flops with? You may want to check out your local craft store to get some cool ideas and pick up any supplies you need. Remember to protect your floor or table with newspaper before you begin your craft! Have fun decorating, and enjoy your fashionable flip-flops!

One option for decorating your flip flops in a feminine, fresh, versatile way, requires only glue, Velcro, and four fake flower blooms. Choose two identical flowers in your favorite color, and two identical flowers in another color and shape you adore. Don’t select fake flowers that are too big, as you will be using the flower to beautify the strap of your flip-flops. If your fake flowers have stems, ask for help from your parents or an older sibling to remove the stem from the blossom portion of the flowers. Cut out a circle of Velcro about the size of a dime and then glue it (rough side up) to the point on your flips flops where both straps meet above your big toe. Repeat the process on your other flip-flop. While the glue on your flip-flops dries, you can turn your attention to the flower blossoms. Glue a circular piece of Velcro about the size of a dime to the bottom of each fake flower blossom. Before you begin gluing, make sure the Velcro that you are using for the flowers will stick to the top of the Velcro on your flip-flops. Allow the glue to dry. When you are finished, you will have a fashionable pair of flip-flops that you can match to your favorite outfits by changing the color of the flower above your toe!

How to Make Your Own Luscious Lip Gloss:

The lip-gloss recipe below has a honey-citrus flavor. To keep the yummy sweetness but change the flavor to something minty-fresh, try substituting the citrus component with a peppermint flavoring or essential oil.

Ingredients:
· 7 teaspoons sweet almond oil
· 2 teaspoons beeswax
· 2 Vitamin E capsules
· 1 teaspoons honey
· 5 drops citrus flavoring or essential oil (or you may like lime)
· Microwave-safe container with lid
· Cosmetic / balm container with lid

Begin by melting the sweet almond oil and beeswax together in the microwave safe container for 1-2 minutes. Remove the mixture from the microwave and empty the contents of the Vitamin E capsules into the mixture. Hint – you may need to use a pin to puncture the Vitamin E capsules open. Use a whisk to combine the contents of the vitamin E capsules, honey, and flavoring, into the oil mixture. Whisk until the mixture sets. Transfer your new lip-gloss into a small balm or empty mint container with a tight lid, and enjoy your shiny new gloss!





Having a tough time answering life’s difficult questions? Seeking the answers to a secret crush? Having the girls over for a slumber party and need a neat game? Follow this simple technique for Fortune Telling Made Easy! This technique for fortune telling lets you know if the one you’re crushing on is really the one for you and whether or not “just friends” is all that’s in store! Follow these easy steps to see what the Realms really hold!

1. Collect an ordinary deck of cards. Make sure that all fifty-two cards are in the deck. If not, find another, complete deck.

2. Second, remove all the Aces from the deck. Place them in a row as follows: First the Ace of Hearts, to the right of that the Ace of Diamonds, the Ace of Clubs, finally, the Ace of Spades.

3. Assign a person to each card. The Ace of Hearts represents your super crush, the Diamond someone you kind of like, the Club is just a friend, and the Spade is someone you definitely do not want to be caught snuggling with.

4. If you’re telling fortunes with friends, you have two options on how to proceed. First, you could all fortune tell for all your crushes at the same time with a bunch of general questions (like, “who thinks about me all day long?!”) and find out for all of you. For a more direct and accurate reading, take turns. First, start with one friend, tell her fortune, and then move on to the next.

5. Once all the cards have been assigned, connect to your Winx and shuffle the deck of cards. Do this in whatever manner feels the most comfortable (I spread them on a carpet and swish them all around using the palm of my hands). If you’re telling a friend’s fortune, have him or her shuffle the deck to make sure the reading is as accurate as possible.

6. Next, collect the cards into a neat pile and place them face down in the palm of your left hand.

7. This is the fun part! Ask a question and begin dealing the cards onto a row below the Aces. What you’re trying to see is when the suits match up. This means, if you ask “who’s crushing on me?” you deal first to the Heart, then Diamond, Club, and Spade, and then return to the Heart and the first time you get a diamond on a diamond or a club on a club, that’s the person who is actually crushing on you! Amazing!

8. This works with any type of a question that requires knowing who of the four people is doing or feeling something. Here are some super sample questions:

a. Who has a crush on me?
b. Who has secretly written a poem about me?
c. Who would be the most romantic on a date?
d. Who knows me the best?
e. Who is going to treat me like a true Princess?

9. Most importantly, if you don’t like the answer you get don’t despair! Focus on your Winx and concentrate really hard on the truth, then ask the question again. Still not happy with the results? Face facts! Sometimes the Realms know more than we do and you just got a secret insight into the truth!
You will need:
3 ripe strawberries
2 Tbsp yogurt

What you do:
1) Mash the strawberries in a bowl with a fork, until they look a little juicy and jam like.
2) Add in the yogurt, and stir it well.
3) Put a light layer on a clean face avoiding the eye area, and let it sit for ten minutes.
4) Rinse off well with warm water and pat your skin dry.
5) If there is any left over, you can store it in the fridge, or eat it - it's delish!
You will need:
- A small spray bottle
- 1/4 cup distilled water
- 1/4 cup pure rosewater*
- 1/8 tsp vegetable glycerin*

What you do:
Put all ingredients into the spray bottle, shake it up, and spritz away. Don't forget to keep your eyes closed!.

This can be used on your body or hair - any area that needs a little moisture. Sometimes it is easier to get the ingredients into the bottle if you use a funnel, or a measuring cup with a pouring spout. This can be made into a delightful gift when it is packaged in a lovely bottle.

* Rosewater and glycerin can be found in health food stores, pharmacies or shops that sell Indian food.
You will need:

¼ cup of oatmeal (quick oats or regular)
1tbsp poppy seeds
1tbsp cornmeal

a jar with a tight fitting lid for storage
a blender (you may need parental supervision for this)

Place all ingredients in the blender, and blend until the mixture is very fine and the oats are powdery. (This may take a couple of minutes – be patient!). When you are satisfied with the resulting mix, pour it into the jar to keep moisture out. When you are ready to use the cleanser, sprinkle 1tsp of the grains into your hand, and mix with warm water – a few drops at a time, until the cleanser is the consistency of toothpaste. Rub the paste gently into your skin, and wash it off with warm water, patting your skin dry when you are finished.

If you have any particularly troublesome areas (spots) this cleanser can be left on the spots for half an hour, and then washed off.
You will need:

A small bottle or jar to mix and keep your polish in (make sure it has a lid!)
1tsp castor oil
1tsp jojoba oil
1tsp sweet almond oil
3 drops of tangerine essential oil

Blend all the oils together, and give them a little stir to make sure they are thoroughly mixed. Take a sniff of the mix – does it smell yummy enough? If not add another drop or two of the essential oil, and mix it up again. When you are ready to use the nail oil, take a q-tip and dip it into the oil, and then brush it lightly on your nails. Rub it in with your fingers if you need to. Don’t be shy – this nail oil mixture is great for your fingers (and toes). Then you can sit back and enjoy your healthy, natural shine!
You will need:

-1 tablespoon plain yogurt
-1 teaspoon liquid honey
-1 teaspoon oil (you can use olive, grapeseed, rosehip seed, jojoba, or any natural oil you prefer. Don’t use baby oil!)
-1 drop of your favorite essential oil (suggested oils are lavender, rose and chamomile)

Place all the ingredients except the essential oils in a bowl. You don’t need to mix them at all. Put the bowl in the microwave and heat until it is gently warm. Times will differ depending on your microwave, but I recommend about 30 seconds at medium heat. Take the bowl out and test the temperature. You want it to be warm, but not hot. Remember, this is going to go on your face!

Now add the essential oil. If you have a facial brush, you can use that to gently mix the ingredients together. Then apply the mask to your face and neck. Avoid the eye area! You only want to go as high as your cheekbone under the eye.

Leave the mask on for 20 minutes, then gently rinse it off. Be careful, otherwise you'll find you've left sticky patches on your face. Your skin should feel hydrated, smooth and firm. On top of that, you’ll smell like your favorite essential oil. Heavenly.

Well, if it rains there's not much to do outside. Usually I have hotel birthday parties and everyone loves those but that won't work since you want a inexpensive party at home. Well, this will sound dumb but it's true. For my 16th birthday party I had a sleepover. We went on a scavenger hunt around the neighborhood (I know people who do them around the house as well). I also had a pinyata and of course presents and cake. If that's too childish (Which I don't blame anyone for thinking) then just figure out fun things your friends like to do whether it's games or something else. Maybe your friends are into truth or dare, or make-over type stuff. I always ask my closest friends what they think would be fun, if anything try that, otherwise google might have some good ideas.
