FENG SHUI THE DAY AWAY

Feng Shui––what the hey? Definition, please! OK, Feng Shui is the Chinese art of arranging your surroundings so you feel filled with great energy. So why not rearrange your room today, and max out its good vibes? 

Start by de-cluttering: go through every object ya see, plus everything you've stuffed under your bed, at the back of your shelves, all over the darn place. (In Feng Shui, clutter can really zap your energy level.) Chuck (or pop in a box for donation to charity) everything you don't use, need or dig.

Next, shift your sleepin' spot: In Feng Shui philosophy, putting your bed too close to the door may actually bring too much hectic energy into your room (and you want some nice, calm karma), so move it as far away as you can. Arrange your desk in the corner of the room that faces the door (Feng Shui theory suggests it's good to be able to see what's comin' atcha). Shift your dresser and chairs so that they aren't blocking the cool energy flow that's coming in from the door. 

Finally, hang some soothing wind chimes in your window––they're a super way to give yourself a nice, balancing energy boost!

BLUSH MUCH? I Dare Ya

I was at a sleepover at my BFF's house, and we were playing truth or dare. I got dared to run down the street in my jammies and curlers with bunny slippers and all. It was late and there was no one on the street, so I decided to do it. Right as I got to the end of the street, my crush turned the corner walking his dog. The second he saw me, he turned right back around and walked away. To this day, he still will not talk to me. --Jess

BLUSH MUCH? Shower Song

I was staying at a campground with my youth group. My friend and I were taking a shower and she started singing Best of Both Worlds. I’m a huge fan of Miley so of course I chimed in. All of a sudden, as we’re belting the chorus, I noticed a third person was singing with us! I walked outside to check it out and one of the boys from my youth group was there! He had heard everything! --Hannah
