| One and the Same |
Hey Fab Gals!
Summer time can equal mega free time, maybe hanging out with friends and laying by the pool, chilling at the mall, or having slumber parties and movie marathons. Still, other things, like stayaway camp, looong family vacays, or even moves to new cities can mean lots time away from your BFF during the sunny days. So what's a girl to do? Lemme give you a few FG ideas:
- Pencil it in. If you're both gonna be uber-busy, plan ahead a little chunk of time each week where you can catch up with a phone call or IM sesh each week. It will keep you both in each other's scheds, so you won't have to worry about forgetting (or being forgotten).
- Plan some hang time. Is there a summer movie you've both wanted to see, or a TV show you both dig? Well if you plan on watching it at the same time, you can call/text each other up during the commercials. Sure, not the same as being together, but it'll be fun to know you've made some time to "hang out," even though you can't really be together. The perf BFF flick this summer? Princess Protection Program Disney, starring real-life BFFs Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez. Check it out on Friday, June 26th!
- Snail-mail it. Sure, maybe texting, Facebook, and Myspace mean insta-connection. But you can do that with anyone. See if you can get your BF
 Fs address (at home, camp, or wherever she'll be) and send her some letters postcards, or even fun mix CDs through the mail. Believe me, she'll absolutely love it, and it is so worth the wait! - Have a reunion party. Likely, you're gonna have lots to catch up on when you're back together. So plan ahead a sleepover for the weekend when you get back together. It will give you time to stay up late and chat, and you can look forward to it all summer!
Most of all, don't stress too much about having a lot of time apart. Chances are, it will help you both learn some new things about yourself, as well as remind you how special your friendship really is. So how are your and your BFF spending this summer? What do you do when you're together? How do you stay in touch when you're apart? Leave a comment to let me know (see the instructions on the side if you don't know how!). xoxo The Fab Gal Labels: advice, BFFs, fab gal, friendships, staying in touch, summer |

| Summer Slow-Down |
Aloha Fab Gals!
When the school year comes, time seems to be lost to homework, club meetings, after-school gossip, and maybe a few winks of sleep. But as much as you love summer, admit it: you're starting to get a teeny bit bored. You can only boy-watch at the mall and lay out by the pool so long. Well, it's time to get creative - really. Summer is the perfect time to do those fun projects you've been thinking about all year. So grab a friend & get going!
- Make a Collage - My cousins and I did this last year. We took our old mags and made little posters for our lockers. It was fun picking out words and pictures to match each other, and it made me happy every time I went for my textbooks!
- Start a Journal - I've said it before, but a journal is a really great thing to have. And when the school year is in full swing, you'll be happy to have it. Find a good notebook and decorate as you desire (plus - be sure to find a safe place to store it!).
- Spa Day - No big deal if you don't have mega-bucks to spend at a salon. Look online for at-home recipes for face masks and scrubs. Grab some nail polish, your best girlies, and you're good to go!
- Make a Memory Box - You've had an amazing summer, and you want to remember it. Get your fave photos, tickets, seashells, whatev and find a cute box to store them in. Better yet, make it a time capsule, and bury it to uncover someday in the future. (I'll tell ya about my time capsule adventure Friday!)
- What Else? What have you been hoping to do that you haven't yet? See a certain movie? Clean your closet? Learn kickboxing? Get to it, girlfriend! You won't have any more time once summer's done. Believe me, Facebook will wait.
What awesome things have you been doing this summer, FGs? I'd love to hear! Leave a comment to let me know (see instructions on the side). xoxo The Fab Gal PS - The Jonas Brothers concert? Totally amazing! Labels: boredom busters, fab gal, friends, fun ideas, summer |
