Spice it up...uniforms, school outfits, and more.

I know.  I know. 
   Some of you are dreading going back to school because you have to wear uniforms to school. Or maybe you're moaning because modesty is so hard to come by.  And school has either started for you or it will start super soon!  Here are a few ideas to beautify your wardrobe, and even your school uniform!  Some of the pieces we see here are from Maurices, DownEast, and ShabbyApple.  :)

4 ways to spice up your school uniform (**if school policy allows**)

1. Belts! 
    They're not just useful for keeping your pants up, they can also be used in first aid, epic heroic swinging, and comfortable modest fashion.  ;)

3. Headbands
    Who ever said your head and hair couldn't be modestly fashionable as well?  Glam up your duds with a bow, flower, or a tie and - WALA! - simple and easy...not to mention amazing!

4. Jewelry!
    Bling or basic, add a little, and it can spice up your plain old uniform  (khakis go crazy with sparkly or simple accessories.)

Now how about some more school modesty ideas??!!
A tee that will take you everywhere, this poppy red favorite is a smooth and supple essential in a comfortable jersey blend. The scoop neck and fitted, minimalist design make it a clean pairing for a patterned skirt or your everyday pants, while the lightweight feel allows for easy wear under the layer of a cardigan, shirt, or blouse.
I love this top from ShabbyApple!  It's fairly loose-fitting, not too clingy at all, and can go with anything!

Do You Choose to Be Pure?

Hi!
   So, this post is about choosing to be pure.  The video that I have linked to is a video of several different youth, from various denominations, who have committed to purity.
    Please join these youth in their commitment to virtue.

Have you done any good??

Hi ladies!

   This post is going to be based off of doing "good continually" and serving others. It will include some ideas, videos, and other things.  :)

Videos:
-This video is by Alex Boye and Carmen Rasmusen Herbert.  It's their music video "Have I Done Any Good in the World Today."  It's really good.  :)
-This video is about a girl with cerebral palsy and the people whose "hands became His hands" and their hearts "became His heart."
-This video is about a sweet lady from Delaware who served those with disabilities, including her own child.
-This video is about an amazing woman who serves so many people!  She is so awesome.  :)

Now that you've seen some ways to serve and some "motivational" videos, here are a few other examples of how you can "do good."  See http://learnthis.ca/2010/02/100-ways-to-serve-others/ for more ideas.

Some Examples of How YOU Can Serve:
  1. Smile: It's so simple, but it can make a huge difference in someone's life.  There's this kid at my work who always smiles when I walk by, and it just makes me happy and feel better (since my work can be exhausting.)
  2. Get the door for somebody: This isn't just for boys (though many girls appreciate it.)  See a person in a wheelchair, a mother with a stroller, or an older person approaching a door?  Help open it for them. 
  3. Write an article, a song, a post, etc:  Write something motivational and share it!  What's the purpose of writing beautiful words if they can't touch someone besides you?
  4. Bake goodies for somebody: I love doing this!  People always appreciate it so much, and it is fun and easy.  (And plus, you usually get to eat the leftovers.) :)
  5. Encourage/compliment others: It's so easy.  "Good job on your science project!"  "Come on -  I know you can get your left side splits!"  "Your hair is so cute today!"
  6. Say thank you..
  7. Help clean up a yard of a neighbor who may not have time to, or is moving.
  8. Pay tithing or donate to a good cause.
  9. Follow inspiration: You never know when your influence is needed!
  10. Volunteer at a local hospital, museum, or elderly home.
There are so many ways to help, so just remember to always be open to those opportunities.
