Making Over Your Personal Space
Clean out your closet. Since your closet is one of the main things in your room, you need to make sure it is always kept clean. Get several big garbage bags and put the clothes in piles: throw away, give away, sell, laundry and clean. Put the dirty clothes into the washing machine/hamper, while the clean clothes back in your closet after folding them and sorting them the way you want. This could be by color, style or usage rate. Hang up any shirts, T-shirts, dresses, sweaters and cardigans etc., and fold up pants, jeans, leggings etc.
Clean your desk or working space. Sort the things on your desk into three piles: keep, throw away and give away. Do the same as what you did with your clothes. If your desk has drawers sort them out like you did the surface of your desk. Put back what you want to keep but make sure to organize it and not put it back where it doesn’t belong!
Re-make your bed. Strip your sheets off the bed and throw them in to the laundry. Get new sheets that you like and are comfortable to sleep on, and put them on the bed. It's good to have a comfortable bed that also looks good. Arrange the pillows however you want it.
Organise any shelves or nightstands the way you did with your closet. Throw away, give away, sell and keep. Remember, whenever you put something back, put it back neatly!
Wipe any surfaces you have, they might be dusty!
Keeping Up With Your Health and Wellbeing
Sit down and think, are you healthy? Most people will tell themselves that they are, when they know that some changes could be made to make them healthier.
Make a food chart! It's a chart that says what you eat every day and at what time. This will organize your eating habits. Make sure that you follow what you written down and in between meals to snack on something healthy like an apple.
Exercising is extremely important to lead a healthy life. Find a sport you like such as swimming or softball, or go to the gym. You can even go to a nature sanctuary and hike, it's all considered exercise and will also lower stress level.
Make sure your skin is healthy too, and go to a dermatologist if acne is a problem and use any medical cream that they give you. Wash your face every morning or night to feel refreshed and have clear and healthy skin.
Improving Your Personal Style and Hygiene
Organize your cosmetics.
Take the time to make sure your hair is nice. Consider straightening it the night before or sleep with curling ribbons, or even wake up a little bit earlier to do that cool braid you have wanted to try.
Do your makeup. Cover any blemishes with a concealer a shade lighter than your natural skin tone and if you have dark circles under your eyes, apply some there too. If you have an uneven skin tone (redness, light or dark patches etc.) use either tinted moisturizer, light foundation or a BB cream. For young skin, a BB cream works best because it moisturizes, protects and covers blemishes without looking thick and cakey. If you don't have naturally rosy cheeks, apply a small amount of blush (not a shimmery blush). For your eyes, use a primer (or concealer) on your lids to make your eye makeup last longer. If you would like, use a natural colored eyeshadow and/or eyeliner. Curl your lashes and apply a black or brown mascara, but make sure you don't put too much on. Don’t forget a little bit of clear or tinted lip gloss. Give Your Life a Makeover (Teen Girls) Step 13 Version 2.jpg
Set out clothes the night before, try them on to make sure it looks good. This saves you time in the morning or you can choose several clothing items or outfits and choose which one you want to wear the next day and the second outfit you can wear the next day.
Shower at least once or twice every day, especially during hot weather and after sports.
Go to the salon. This is optional, but you should have your hair trimmed every six weeks to prevent split ends and to help promote hair growth. If you have a picture of a hairstyle you like, take it to the salon and they will be able to do your hair similarly.
Do your nails. Paint them a nice colour, or do a French manicure. Paint your nails with clear base coat polish or a French pink, and paint white tips on the top of your nails. YouTube has many tutorials on nail art and manicures that are simple and easy to do.
Wax or shave, if you need to. Just remember, body hair removal is optional. Waxing can be a better option for you than shaving, although it takes more time and hurts a bit more and you may break out if you are allergic. Not only does your hair vanish, it takes off any dead skin on the surface leaving your legs feeling gorgeous! Remember to wax at least once every three months or it'll hurt more the next time and your hair will grow back.
