The How-To Guide of an Evilly Awesome Sleepover

Princess Know-It-All here!
      Sorry that I haven't posted since Friday, I've been busy relaxing and soaking up the rest of July. As you may know, school will be starting soon. For some, mid to late August, but for others it may be September. Either way, you need to enjoy the rest of your summer! But I already posted on how to enjoy it, so I won't be posting about that. I will be telling you to get together with your friends and have at least one more totally awesome slumber party. Pretty much everyone has had sleepovers. Some of you may be the morning-person type (I am not one of those people) or you may be a night owl. Okay, yes. Pretty much everyone knows how to have an awesome sleepover, but we also know how tough it can be having a sleepover with people who want to go to bed no later than ten pm. But I'll still give you all a few tips on how to have awesome sleepovers anyways.

1.  So, you've all heard of Netflix, I assume. That is a very important part of a sleepover. If you do have Netflix, then at your party you should totally watch Mean Girls. Not Mean Girls 2, that one is nowhere close to the awesomeness of the first movie. If you don't have Netflix, then ask your parents to try a free trial.
2. You know what else is fun? Truth or Dare. Okay, everyone has that friend that chickens out on a lot of dares, but still. There are also plenty of other games like Kill, Date, Marry, or Fortunately Unfortunately. These games are lots of fun and can also bring out the evil side of you and your friends. Warning: watch out while playing Kill, Date, Marry. Your friends will assign the people you hate most during this game.
3. Crush talk. Please, you can't have a sleepover without this. Like me, you may have a friend who won't talk, but keep trying to pry it out of them. Hopefully it won't be too hard!
4. Junk food is a sleepovers best friend, am I right? You just can't not eat unhealthy junk at a sleepover, it's like the sleepover law. You have to have buttery popcorn with M&M's, hot cocoa or milkshakes, bags full of chips, etc. Junk food=awesome slumber party. 
5. If you're bored, try board games! Everyone loves Clue and Monopoly (even though it destroys friendships), you might even want to try Risk (Warning: this may take a very long time.)
6.  Okay, now we're getting into the I-Wanna-Go-To-Bed-At-9-pm People. It's hard to keep them awake, so you might as well start everything early if you want to get to it all. You could also finish up some of the activities in the morning, or maybe force your friend to stay up. It may be hard, but do your best.

      I hope you all have great sleepovers and use some of my tips!

Bestie Competition, Anyone?

Princess Know-It-All here, with a little public service advice for all those who feel like losers (spoiler alert: you're NOT a loser!) compared to their practically perfect BFFs.
      Okay, so how many of you have ever been jealous of your best friend? Seriously. Even if you haven't ever been jealous of them, you have to admit they almost always have something cool that you don't. A trampoline? A talent for dancing? They're super pretty and get all the guys? Basically, pretty much everyone has something you don't. I mean, we're all completely different people! So what do you do if it feels like you're always stuck in your BFF's shadow, you're always left at home while they go to all the awesome places and do all the awesome stuff and be awesomely talented without you?
      First things first, look at yourself. I don't mean literally, like looking in a mirror or something (you can do that too, though), look at your accomplishments. What do you love to do? What are you good at? What do your parents or other friends praise you for? You must have some talent that other people love about you, even if you haven't figured it out yet. And who knows? Maybe your BFF is jealous of you for having that cool talent that they don't have.
      Second, figure out what you want of yourself and do something about it. Why are you jealous of your best friend? Maybe they're really good at soccer and you're bad at it. So what? Just keep having fun with the activities that you're really good at, and if you're not in any clubs, join some! Or ask your BFF to hang out and help you with developing your soccer skills. Maybe they're really pretty. This time, literally look at yourself in a mirror. You might be prettier than you remember, after all that negative self talk. And if not, who cares, you're obviously not an ugly freak if you became best friends with a "really pretty" person. And what if your bestie has fashionable clothes and you don't? Ask your parents to buy you some new ones! As long as you're also giving away those old, lame clothes to thrift shops or wherever, your parents will be more likely to get you trendy ones.
      And third, you were obviously good enough to be your bestie's BFF. But if you still feel insecure about this friendship, talk to them. Being honest with your BFF is one of the best ways to make sure you don't drift apart. It might be hard--really hard--and maybe pretty awkward at first, too, but it will get easier, and if your BFF really is your BFF, they won't push you away for being honest.
      Most importantly, remember that no matter what, comparing yourself to others is usually how you get jealous in the first place. Stop comparing and just have fun with your best friend!

Six Things to Make Your Summer Perfect

Princess Know-It-All here,
     Don't you all just love summer? Blue skies, vacations, the beach, the pool, and endless lazy days. I don't know about you, but where I live that's known for rain has been boiling (if you count ninety degrees boiling). I'm just surprised that it's already the middle of the summer. I still remember staring at the clock at school wanting to just crawl into my bed and watch Netflix or Hulu. Well, I still feel like that sometimes. I'm not looking forward to go back to school and deal with some people, if you know what I mean. So I intend to enjoy my summer as long as I can, like the rest of you are. So let me give you some tips on how to enjoy the rest of your summer!

1. Netflix. I know that most of you want to spend your summer outside, but there's nothing wrong with one day in bed with your laptop binge watching TV shows.
2. Music. Like, you can't go wrong with a legit playlist. Really, you plug in your headphones and you get the house to yourself, and bam! Your whole world just became a music video.
3. Ice cream and snow cones. We all have those totally hot summer days where all you can is imagine a cold ice cream cone or an icy snow cone with that amazing artificial syrup stuff. C'mon, you need at least one of those this summer.
4. The pool or beach. Not everyone has a beach nearby, but hopefully there's a swimming pool somewhere! Where I live, we can just drive to the beach and be there within twenty minutes. But you can't go wrong with a fun day at the pool, right? Okay, sure. There are a few scenarios that I could imagine not being so fun, but still! 
5. Just one vacation. We all need to get away during our summer break, even if it's just for a day or two. 
6. Friends. Seriously, there's no summer without a friend. All these things I said are amazing alone, but if you do them with a friend you will have the ultimate summer. A sleepover binge watching your favorite TV shows with your bestie? Yes please. Dance parties with the best new beat with that one crazy friend? So fun. A quick stop at the ice cream shop or the snow cone stand on your way to her house? Totally. A fun day at the beach(including splash wars)? Count me in. And a vacation with just you, your family, and your bestest bestie in the entire world? I wouldn't miss it.  

These elements will make your summer much better, so try to do at least one of these things! Enjoy the rest of your summer!
