Who needs a bulky beach tote? Toss your bikini and a tube o’ sunscreen onto your towel—fold it, roll it and go!What You Need:*30-inch-by-60-inch beach towel*3 yards of 1-inch wide ribbon*Needle*Thread*RulerWhat You Do:Cut ribbon in three pieces: one 28-inch and two 40-inch. Fold towel in half lengthwise, wrong side out. For shoulder strap, sew one end of the 28-inch ribbon to the towel’s hem 3 ½ inches from the edge, and the other end of the ribbon 3 ½ inches from the fold (tip: unfold before stitching so you don’t stitch through the other half of the towel!). Fold the remaining two pieces of ribbon in half, and sew the folded ends just inside of where you stitched the strap. To use: Fold towel in half, right side out. Starting from the non-ribboned end and with the strap on the outside, roll the towel up. Wrap the loose ribbon around the roll, and tie ‘em in a bow. -Debbie Chaillou

MOD Please help! My dog recently had surgery and he has to be watched at all times so he doesn't get his stiches out. So the problem is I am home alone and have to watch him and I want to do more than just sit around all day on the computer and watching tv (which is how i've spent my past week after his surgery), but I still have to watch my dog, Sam. What should I do all day, I am super bored! Thanks for the help!
Hey Girl, you could clean up around your house or maybe start making dinner before your parents get home (they'll totally love you for it!). You can also flip through magazines, exercise, READ, do crafty things ilke tie-dye or making jewelry. You've gotta use your imagination and also think of how much better off your dog will be because your such a caring owner. ~Callie

MOD- I want to start shaving but I dont know how and I dont want to ask anyone. HELP!
Hey girl, you should prob ask your mom first if it's okay if you start shaving, that's usually something moms want to give permission on. It's pretty simple though, once you start. Always have shaving cream/gel, never ever shave with just water and try to avoid regular bar soap. Change your razor every 5 or 6 shaves so it doesn't get dull or rusty and I suggest using lotion after you get out of the shower because even shaving with gel can leaves legs little dry and having moisturized legs makes your next shave smoother, too. Also, if your nervous about shaving you can try Nair, or something like it, they have a newer shower product that you put on in the beginning of the shower then wipe off after a few minutes (it dissolves the hair). Good luck, dont be nervous! ~Callie
pandalove4ever on 7/10/2008 1:11:07 PM
**blondie323** the poem was pretty good. I thought it needed more rymey words. But it was pretty good. SO i would rate it a 6 or 7.

hkidrox888 on 7/10/2008 1:35:28 PM

Hey Girls! I'm Schooltipper12466! Since we are about to go back to school, i can give you tips on what to wear to school, to getting good grades, bullies, joining a new school.. etc. Ask me anything that has to do with school!! Like Beautytipper21, if you have a question PLEASE start your questions with Schooltipper12466. i Will try and give out daily tips under the blog FEATURE OF THE DAY! * Daily Tip * Is your locker stuffed to the gills? Every time you open it spews out papers from last month!? You smelly gym shoes, lunch from last week? Here are some basic necessities on what you really need for your locker! Step one- Try and buy a locker shelf, they are incredibly handy. Put your books on the shelves with the spines facing you, so you can see the titles and between passing periods you can grab the one you need quickly. Step two- Have your notebooks/binders neatly stacked on the top shelf, have the spine labeled ( it looks really cool with magazine cutouts ) so there is no stressing between classes. Step three- DECORATE! Keep it simple though, you don't want things flying out as soon as you open your locker! For me the basics are a magnetic mirror, a magnetic, pencil holder, little containers for lip gloss etc. And i ALWAYS keep a little handy bag in the back to put pads/tampons and extra pair of undies. Always have spare pencils/pens because you'll need em'! More tips coming your way!! ~ Schooltipper12466
schooltipper12466 on 7/10/2008 2:29:39 PM
omg i have something exactly like that except i got it from a store =]
*vballchyea* on 7/10/2008 2:59:11 PM
Hey girlies! i have a great back to school craft! OK, heres what you need! -Spiral notebooks -scrapbook paper-i suggest getting a book full of scrapbook paper cuz then it all goes together! try looking at walmart! -scissors or a paper cutter -glue sticks-believe me you will need like 3! -markers OK so first measure your notebook and then cut the scrapbook paper and glue it on. Then decorate away! my scrapbook paper book came with ulta-cute stickers ,so i spelled out my name and stuff! Also layer the paper and its looks cute like that too! P.S. if you want to make a binder to match.... heres what you'll need -a two inch plain binder with those plastic covers over them so you can put pics and stuff in them -scrapbookpaper book(again look at walmart) -pictures! -markers! ok heres what you do. Measure your binder and just decorate! If your book came with picture frames, tape your fav pic in! also spell out your name with stickers! Tell me what you think! When i did it, it turned out super cute!!!!
s1309012 on 7/10/2008 2:59:50 PM
Hey everyone!!! you can also do this with your clothes! It makes a lot more room in your suitcase when you're packing for something!!!
BasketballGirl on 7/10/2008 3:07:50 PM
It's great! A 2 in 1: A beach tote AND a towel!
ERNit12 on 7/10/2008 3:31:44 PM
Yay! A new craft!
Puppyluv78 on 7/10/2008 3:49:39 PM
thanx everyone 4 rating my poem!!! love ya guys!!!
blondie323 on 7/10/2008 3:50:29 PM
u could make this even easier w/ out having to sew by just rolling up your stuff in a towel, tying it w/ ribbons, and tying on a longer ribbon to the other ribbons you tied on as a shoulder strap. i really like the idea, tho!!
dumb_brunette on 7/10/2008 4:26:15 PM
good idea. o and great poem!
larkibabi on 7/10/2008 4:55:08 PM
That sounds like a really coll and fun idea. I wish I could do that but, I can't sew but, I will be learning how to sew in the summer.
FabulousGirl101 on 7/10/2008 5:20:27 PM
mod! ok o like i use an electric shaver for my legs and how long should i wait to change the blade????
I don't use an electric shaver, but I would think when you notice that it has stopped working as well you should change the blade, babe.
PEACE OUT!
Cassie
