textSAT



textSAT is a super inexpensive service that sends daily text messages containing cool review material for the SATs. It’s completely comprehensive and not at all like your parent's  SAT review! The sentences that accompany the vocabulary are funny,  making the words memorable. (Ex: recalcitrant (adj) stubborn: No anti-pimple cream was strong enough to banish the recalcitrant pimple from Joe’s nose.) The math, essay and critical reading tips are all presented in as un-boring ways as possible. (Ex: Use the word THAN to compare, as in: Her burp was much louder THAN his burp. Use THEN to convey when, as in: He smiled, THEN winked.) And it all comes right to your cell, in the form of a text! So cool! You can be proactive about studying, minus the active, minus the pain and minus the parental nagging!

textSAT is a unique, effective, designed with real teens in mind service.

GLAM'EYES MASCARA

 
This mascara by Rimmel London is definitely one of a kind. There's no need for fake eyelashes if you have this product. I love its flexible brush and how it evens out each eyelash, making them longer with every stroke. Each side of the brush is different. I use one side to darken my lashes, then the other to comb and elongate them. It really does work!! I'm so glad I found this and the fact that the tube is my favorite color is a bonus!!

Bath & Body Works® Signature Collection - Sweet Pea

I recently got this Sweet Pea Signature Collection from Bath & Body Works for Christmas. Let's just say sweet pea has now become my favorite scent. It's fabulous! However, I don't use it everyday. It's not one of those products you just carelessly use until it gets dull and boring. I only wear this collection on special occasions like a big party coming up or a date with my boyfriend. :) I especially love the body spray because it's not too strong or too feeble, it's just right To get the best results I use all the items together! It's perfect for teen girls and I highly recommend it! Not only the Sweet Pea Collection, but others as well. I'm also a fan of their Black Amethyst Collection! You can visit their website Bath & Body Works and check it out for yourself!

Fresh Wave Pearl Packs


The Fresh Wave Pearl Packs - an eco-friendly odor eliminating solution - will help active teens keep their everyday gear smelling like new. Just place the portable Pearl Packs wherever the cringe-worthy odors have set up shop and breathe easier in no time.

HOW IT WORKS (AND WHY IT'S GREEN): Utilizing extracts of lime, pine needle, aniseed, clove and cedar wood, the Fresh Wave Pearl Packs are biodegradable and non-toxic. The malodor molecules are absorbed and then broken down by the plant extracts - so the sweaty smell is completely eliminated (rather than masked for a short period of time with a chemical or fragrance).

Fresh Wave Pearl Packs are great for the:

* Eco-chic girl who loves all things natural
* Active athlete with loads of sweaty sports bags, clothing and shoes
* Future college co-ed who is going to need to tackle dorm room smells and dirty laundry
