How to Make a Transparent Shirt

Hey everyone! 

Hope your Thursday is going well! 

Have you ever heard of transparent shirts? (No you can't see through them!) They're super cute, and really fashionable! I'm planning on making my own this summer. Below you'll find steps to make one.  

1. First gather all of the following supplies: a plain t-shirt, transfer paper, an iron, a printer, and a flat heat-resistant surface. 

2. Print your transparent out on the transfer paper. There will be instructions on the plastic that the paper comes in telling you how to use it. You can find a lot of different transparent images by googling "tumblr transparent". Or you can go on tumblr and find them. Whatever you prefer.   

3. Once it's printed out, wait about 8 minutes for the paper to dry. Once it's dried, peel off the back. It may be hard, but try to get your fingernails under it; that will make it easier. 

4. Place the part of the paper with your transparent on it on your shirt, then iron it on. You may need to experiment with this step. 

5. Now you can wear your shirt! 

(Optional steps!)

6. If you want to make your shirt even more awesome, you can cut it! Try it on and see where you would like your shirt to be cut. (By cut I don't mean slicing it in random places, I mean adding fringe or cutting the sleeves off.) Take a pencil or chalk and draw lines where you want to cut your shirt. 

7. If you want to add knotted strands, cut the bottom of the shirt. (Leave the pieces attached to the shirt, just cut the bottom into strips!) Once you've done that, tie the strips; however only tie strips with others from the front of your shirt. Same goes for the back. If you tie pieces from the front and back together you'll tie your shirt together and you won't be able to wear it!

Babysitting 101

Hey everyone!

Hope you're having a fabulous weekend! 

So I recently picked up a pretty steady babysitting job. It was a little scary at first, (especially because I'm a shyer person) but now I get along really well them the kids and have fun while I'm doing it! So if you guys are starting out in the babysitting world, or have already started, here's some tips on how to be a good babysitter! 

1. Prepare for the job! 

Figure out what day you'll be babysitting, then write it down on a calendar or set a reminder on your phone! 

2. Write down any important information! 

Call the parents and ask them if there's anything you'll need to know about the child your looking after. Get the parents cellphone numbers; house address; child's name; any allergies they may have; find out where the first aid kit is kept; where the baby bottles are kept; spare clothes; etc. 

3. Ask about house rules in advance!

Ask if you can do certain things such as cook; use the t.v; use the computer; watch movies; use the phone; answer phone calls; take the kids to a park; play outside; etc. 

4. If someone drops by....

Never answer the door unless you or the parents are expecting anyone, and only open the door once you're sure it's that person! 

5. Plan out what you're going to do! 

Every kid is different, so their interests may vary. If they aren't sure what to do, try suggesting making puppets or colouring! If they have an activity they like to do, don't complain and don't be lazy. Just make sure they're safe and following the rules! 

6. Put them to bed at the time the parents want them in bed! 

Don't let them fall asleep to early or too late. If they go to bed too early, they may wake up later and not want to go back to sleep! A good way to get them into bed on time if they're a little on the stubborn side is to tell them it's bedtime 5-10 minutes before the actual set bedtime. When they argue, say "okay just 5-10 more minutes." This way they'll think they've won the argument when really they'll be going to bed on time. 

7. Be responsible!

Clean up before the parents get home and while the kids are sleeping. Pick up any toys or dirty dishes from the day. 

8. Play with the kids! 

This one's a given. But some babysitters sit on their phone the entire time and let chaos happen. Don't go afraid to go outside and get your hands dirty! Remember that kids report how much they liked the babysitter and if they go on and on about how fun you were, you may be asked to babysit again! Not only that, but it helps build up a reputation in your community and other parents may start asking you to babysit their kids! 

9. Play-dates! 

In a small town like mine, my friends are usually babysitting on the same days I am. Make arrangements with your friend to go to the park with your kids and their kids. This way the kids get out of the house, use a lot of energy, and make new friends!

Good luck guys! Hope this helps! 

25 Things to Say When Prank Calling!

Hey everyone!

Happy Sunday!

Let's admit it, at some point in our lives we've all done a prank call. Odds are we'll probably do many more. It's not always the right thing to do, (you don't want to scare someone really badly or make a stranger angry!) You need to respect people, so if you're going to do a prank call, keep it within the boundaries of your family and friends.  Now with that said, let's get to it! Below are 25 things you could say when prank calling. 

(Found this on Instagram!)

1. Sing them the batman theme song every time they try to talk 

2. Tell them you're having trouble in the bathroom and ask for their advice

3. Demand them you call you "ruler of the toilets" 

4. If they ask you where you're from say "Narnia! I'm so lost!"

5. After every 5 seconds ask them to be your best friend

6. When they are about to end the call scream, "no don't leave me! Nobody loves me!"

7. Accuse them of murdering your teddy bear

8. Ask them if they believe in unicorns and if they don't, yell at them and start crying 

9. Tell them you named your dog "dog". 

10. Tell them you can see them 

11. Try acting like a gangster and tell them you love unicorns 

12. Tell them that sometimes when you're all alone you like to dress in all brown, lay on the floor, and pretend you're a potato 

13. If they ask where you live say, "don't freak out but I live next to my neighbor!"

14. Ask them if they would be interested in flying to Pluto to re-establish it as a planet

15. Tell them you once saw a purple flying cow and named it Phillip 

16. Around the end of the conversation tell them you're breaking up with them because you found someone else

17. Every time they talk tell them something random and crazy like "There's singing fish tacos in my backyard!" 

18. Pretend you're really old and you can't hear them 

19. Tell them a weird story 

20. Rant to them about anything

21. Say, "I've hidden it, Tell your brother it's his concern now."

22.  Make up your own language and say random things 

23. Say, "the secret service is onto us!"

24. Ask them for a blood donation because you're a vampire 

25. Tell them you're stuck in the toilet and need help out! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remember guys, ONLY DO THIS TO FRIENDS/FAMILY! Plus, it's a good idea to tell them you were kidding afterwards. Have fun, and be responsible!  

How to Survive Midterms/Exams/Tests

Hey everyone!

It's that time of year. Summer's on the horizon, but to make it there, you need to pass your finals! It's super stressful, that's for sure; but if you work hard, you'll feel so much more accomplished. So here's some tips on how to get through the last few weeks of school!

1. Study Constantly

Don't cram the night before your exam! It never ever works! You'll most likely forget it. But if you go over the material daily, it's more likely to stick with you!

2. Ask For Help

If you have questions, now's not the time to be shy. You need to have a firm knowledge on what you're learning, and you certainly won't if you don't ask for clarification. 

3. Sleep!

Sleep is important guys! Don't stay up all night studying, your brain can only absorb so much information at a time. There is nothing worse than going to an Exam/Test/Midterm feeling sleepy! You'll be distracted and odds are you won't do as well as you could. 

4. In the Morning....

Wake up early and eat a good breakfast! Try to relax and get your nerves under control. If you feel the need, skim your notes one last time for that boost of confidence. Getting up early will also help you concentrate and think clearly. 

5. Electronics 

If you love something, set it free right? Well it's time to put down your iPod, tablet, phone etc. You won't be able to study effectively with all those devices demanding your attention. Now if you're a procrastinator like me, try hiding your devices around your room or get your parents to hide them so you won't be tempted by them. 

6. Place! 

Make sure you study in a quiet place. Studying on the couch adjacent from your brother playing Skyrim is probably not the best idea. 

7. Create a Schedule  

Plan out your time wisely. Take into account all the different assignments/exams/tests you need to study for, and give each of them an equal amount of time. If you're struggling with a subject give it a little more attention than a subject you're already good it. 

8. Be Positive!

Adopt a "I can totally do this" kind of attitude instead of a negative one. It will make you feel confident as you walk into that exam/text/midterm. 

9. Get to It!

As soon as they give you the test, don't procrastinate! Start right away just in case you start to run out of time at the end.

Good luck everyone!

How to Prevent Chapped Lips

Hey everyone!

So I've been having chapped lip issues, they really hurt! As I was thinking about it I was wondering if you guys had the same problem. So here are a few ways to get rid of chapped lips and/or prevent them!

1. Use Chapstick!
This one is pretty much a given. Lip balm helps to keep your lips smooth, and a lot of them have ingredients in them to numb the sting! A trick I've found that works is to put some on before bed. That way your lips have all night to soak it up. The Dr. Rescue collection from Baby Lips works really well!

2. Avoid Licking Your Lips! 
If you're like me, you find yourself biting/licking your lips at random points during the day. For me it's a nervous habit. But it's a really bad thing to do! Doing that can take the oils out of your lips and make them even more chapped!

3. Avoid Citrus Fruits! 
Until your chapped lips have healed, avoid eating any acidic fruits. The juice can sting and lead to more chapping.

4. Drink Lots of Water! 
This is really important! Lips tend to dry out because of a lack of water. Drink the recommended 8 glasses every day!

5. Exfoliate! 
Exfoliating your lips can also make a big difference. You can use a damp towel, or Vaseline, but the best way is to use a soft bristle toothbrush. Gently rub it in circles of your lips to remove the dead skin.

Hope this helps everyone! Have an awesome weekend!

How to Tell if He Likes You!

Hey everyone!

How's your Saturday going? I'd love to be lounging around today but alas, final school projects need to be completed. But luckily, this blog is a part of my homework! (It really doesn't feel like it!)

Today, just because of the busy schedule, I'll be posting a series of smaller and shorter posts, so keep your eyes peeled!

Our topic for this post will again, be for the girls! (sorry boys, but most of my feedback comes from the female audience so that influences what I post!)

Drum roll please...

How to tell if he likes you! 

Ladies, lets admit it; we can't always tell when a boy likes us. Sometimes we'd prefer not to know to! Am I right? But if you have a feeling that there's a boy crushing on you, see if he does any of the following!

1. Body Language 
When he's around you and he says/does something funny, does he flicker his eyes in your direction to see if you laughed? If he did, he may be trying to impress you. When you sit next to him, does he lean towards you? If so, he probably likes you. Also, if he pushes you, tackles you, puts his arm around you, etc. that's a telltale sign that he's interested! A guy's body language can tell you a lot about how he's feeling.

2. Eye Contact
A guy who is interested in you will look at you a lot, sometimes for no reason! He may try to catch your eye, or if he's on the shyer side he may try to sneak glances at you when you're not looking. But if you do catch him don't make him feel awkward or bad about it! Once my friends thought a boy liked me because he kept glancing at me and they started counting very loudly when they caught him doing it. The poor boy was so confused.

3. The Way He Speaks
If he teases you (a lot!), that's a sign that he's flirting with you girls, and he's probably hoping you'll flirt back! Try giving him a playful nudge, laugh and tease him back, or smile and roll your eyes playfully.

Good luck!

How to Get Whiter Teeth!

Hey everyone!


Coffee stains, plaque build up, the dentist asking you why you're teeth aren't shiny pearls; it's frustrating is it not? Well don't fear, Liv is here!

Here are some tips on how to get a whiter smile!

1. Brush your teeth!
You really can't have a nice white smile without brushing your teeth...and it's not very healthy if you don't brush at least 2 times a day. Brush them in the morning and again at night! Brushing them after you eat lunch isn't a bad idea either.

2. Mouthwash!
Since I got my wisdom teeth out, I've started to use mouthwash a lot more. It effectively cleans germs, kills plaque, and keeps your breath smelling fresh! You should gargle with mouthwash for at least 30 seconds.

3. Eating!
Try to avoid foods that easily get stuck in your teeth. This is really important for people with braces! It's a pain to get out, and it takes away from your amazing smile.

4. Baking soda!
Try dipping your toothbrush in baking soda before brushing. Yeah, it sounds funny, but it really does work!

5. Drinks!
Don't drink too many flavored drinks. The colors in them often create marks/spots/stains on your teeth. Plus, most of them really aren't healthy for you.

6. Correct Toothpaste
Use a toothpaste that's right for you! If it's too "spicy" or the flavor makes you want to throw up, don't use it. This will make you cringe and not enjoy brushing those pearly whites.

7. Singing Toothbrushes
Yeah...this sounds really little kid-ish, but I have a One Direction singing toothbrush. Don't laugh! The song plays for two minutes and helps me brush for the recommended amount of time. I can rock out and brush my teeth at the same. Try not to be jealous okay? Haha. They work!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leave a comment if this helped, or if you think my singing toothbrush is cool! Hope this helps! And if you guys wouldn't mid, could you recommend this blog on social medias? It would mean a lot! Thanks!  

Quiz: What's Your Style?

                       

Hey everyone!

So this post is going to be a little different than the rest of my other ones. I was shopping the other day and realized how much my style preferences have changed. I then realized I had no idea what I was looking for! Talk about an identity crisis! I wondered if you guys might have the same problem, so I found a quiz that might help you decide what your style is. 

1. Which do you usually wear?
a) Jean jackets
b) Floral printed cardigans
c) Sweatshirts

2. Which shoes do you wear the most?
a) Combat boots
b) Converse/Vans
c) Uggs

6. What colour do you paint your nails?

b) Pink
c) Neon colours

7. What accessory do you wear the most?
a) Rings

c) A simple necklace

~~~

If you answered mostly a's:
You're edgy! You have an edgy/grunge style and you rock those daring fashion trends! Try shopping for darker colours. Some style staples for you are ripped jeans/shorts; combat boots, and beanies. If you're a boy, dark skinny jeans; a band t-shirt; converse; and a beanie would be a good look for you!

If you answered mostly b's:
You're girly! You love wearing accessories and should try shopping for pastel colours! Some style must haves for you are floral patterned pieces; long necklaces; and a cute pair of flats. If you're a boy, you're not girly, you have a prep style. Light coloured jeans paired with a Hollister or Aeropostale t-shirt would be a good look for you!

If you answered mostly c's:
You're comfy and laid back! For you, comfort comes before style. You should dress in warm colours. Try pairing a cute over-sized hoodie or sweater with a pair of leggings and Uggs! If you're a boy, a pullover hoodie; loose jeans or sweatpants; and a favourite pair of sneakers is the look for you!

So these are just some of the things you can put in your girl's emergency kit! The fact is, all girls are different, and we all need different things in our purses/bags/backpacks. If you looked in mine you would find a tangled mess of headphones and chords; pens; pencils; scrap paper; and small notebooks; just in case I have ideas for blogs or stories! (I want to be a writer).  But don't feel pressured to follow this list girls! Add items to the list, or take items away until it's your perfect emergency kit! 

How to Text Your Crush!

Hey everyone!

Wow. This post is going to be very hypocritical because I'm a very socially awkward person and I once came on so strong my crush ran and hid in a bathroom for 20 minutes....

But I'm going to help you avoid a situation like that!

I just heard all the girls that are going to be reading this simultaneously "aww" while all the boys blushed and whisper shouted "keep it a secret!". Teenagers and their crushes are so cute! But to help you guys reach that cute stage I've compiled a list of texting do's and don'ts. 

DO

• Use emotions when texting him! Smiley faces, and winks will add a flirty little touch to your messages and will make you seem less like an emotionless robot
• Try to keep the conversation going! Ask them how their day went, if they have plans for the weekend, etc. 
• Give them some time to respond. If they don't answer you right away it doesn't mean they hate you; their phone may have died or they're busy 
• Take a few minutes to respond. If you answer split seconds after they send you a text, you may come across as desperate and weird 
• Be polite and respectful; if they say they're tired don't make them stay up with you, it will make them annoyed
•  Take a genuine interest in what they're saying; don't just respond with "cool" or "that's nice". Show them you care about what they have to say!

DON'T

• Okay there's nothing wrong with using emotions, but don't over do it! Too many emotions is super annoying; it clutters up screens and takes away from messages
• Don't use "..." as a way to get them to respond faster. People usually only use the dreaded 3 dots when they're angry or annoyed 
• Don't text them first all the time! Let them text you; it shows that they want to talk to you too
• Don't text them 24/7! If you take a break between texting they might smile and realize that's it's been a while and they miss talking to you 
• Don't over-flirt! You can only blame it on your friends so many times....(Guilty!)
• Don't "tExT lIke ThIs" because it's really hard to read! 
• If they ask you what you're up too, don't respond with "nothing you?" Give them an answer like "watching T.V", or "listening to music!" More detailed answers could keep the conversation going 

For those of you who don't yet have your crushes cell phone number, don't worry! There's plenty of ways you can get it. One I've found that works is "forgetting" to write down the homework questions and asking them to text you them! Then you'll have their number.

(Insert evil laugh here)

Good luck everyone! I hope it all works out! As for me, well its been two weeks since I've texted Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome, so I think I'll go start up a conversation.
