This is going to be a short tip, but it's for and audition, and it's Friday, so no HW!
 
~MATERIALS~
*Any Loosly-Fitted Shirt w/ A High-Neckline(I prefer a graphic tee)
 
*Scissors
 

~DIRECTIONS~
 
STEP 1: Start by laying your shirt on a flat surface. Then, what I like to do is fold it in half length-wise.
 
STEP 2: Take your scissors and cut begin cutting from the top of your shirt along the seam where the body of the shirt and the sleeves meet. Make sure to hold the shirt down so the two sides of the shirt do not slide around. As you come to the bottom of the sleeve, don't cut straight to the armpit, leave about 2"-4" of space between your cut and the sleeve.
 
STEP 3: Do NOT pull the sleeves to stretch out the sleeves and make them bigger. If you would like the holes to be bigger, just cut a little more below the armpit. Pulling on the sleeve will make the shirt "wing out" in the armpits. Then, I cut away the jagged edges to neaten it up.
 
STEP 4: I like a high-low look with these types of shirts, so what I do is lay the shirt out flat and cut a rounded edge at the bottom of the shirt, removing the hemline.
 
STEP 5: Lift up the shirt, and lay it back down sideways so the sleeves are in the middle of the shirt facing up. From this view, the bottom of the shirt should look somewhat like an upside-down half-heart. From the center of the shirt, cut slightly up to create a straight line from the back of the shirt to the front.
 
STEP 6: Even out the front with your scissors so the hem is a concave, rather than an inverted corner to create your high-low muscle tee!
 
STEP 7: Try on and your good to go! You can make some changes later on if you want to. I once did one where the bottom was fringed by cutting the bottom hemline into thin strips. It looks really cute.
 

Muscle tees are in style right now and I hope I helped you so you can make one for a cheaper price!

Kayla

"Never give up, never surrender."
 
I've got time, and this tip is for an audition! I just did paper for school on body image, so I thought this would make a good tip!
 

Looking at magazine for just 1-3 minutes can affect one's perception of their body image. Also, peer pressure effects many teen every day.
 
~DEALING WITH PEER PRESSURE~
In today's society, many are pressured by their peer to look a certain way or to have a specific attitude towards others. Just ignore them! If someone doesn't like you the way you are, they are not worth being your friend.
 
~WANTING TO FIT IN~
From personal experience, I know what it's like to want to fit in. Although, I may have tried changing the way I act or dress to impress, I know that nothing is better than just being me. I was not very liked, but after just being me, and not worrying about what others think, I am liked by others even more. You too can do this. Nothing is stopping you from wanting to change, but just remember that you don't need to change to be liked or to fit in. You are who you are.
 
~MEDIA MANIPULATION/THE SKINNY IMAGE~
Today, ads are directed towards teens and on average minors see about 25,000 advertisements per day. Looking at a magazine for just 1-3 minutes can change your perception on your body image/type. Society has created a distorted definition of beauty and an unrealistic image that implies women to be “flawless” and skinny. Truth is, no one is like this. Not even the models themselves. No one is perfect. No one is 100% flawless. No one is wrinkle-free or free of acne. But, everyone is enough. And everyone needs to have their own definition of beauty.
 

“Instead of changing the way we look... maybe it’s time to change the way we see.” We are our own enemies. Although it’s what society expects, stereotypes aren’t what define a person. It’s the person inside that counts, that makes you beautiful. Never hurt yourself if you think you aren’t enough. Whether you think you are overweight, ugly, or do not fit the “standards”, remember that you are still and always beautiful. Stay strong, and smile. Nobody is perfect, and you aren’t a barbie. Be who you are, you are enough. You have a life, make the most of it. Don’t ruin it because it’s not worth it.
 
Stay true!
 
xoxo,
Kayla
