"GL, make me over!" Seven girls. Seven days. Seven big changes. The outcome? Nothing short of amazing!
Girls' Life, Feb-March, 2004
Makeup
Jillian said. "I want a great everyday look I can do in five minutes!"
Lori's look Lori brought out Jillian's eyes with bright pink shadow (Caboodles in Clever) and added black mascara. She then applied Maybelline Blush in Pink Whisper to the apples of Jillian's cheeks and glossed her lips with She She Crush on You. Three minutes flat!
Workout
Jillian said. "I only do things on the weekends--swim, dance or tennis." Josh and Scott suggested a number of workouts
Jillian can do at home to break up the weekend-warrior pattern. Jillian now plans to add physioball exercises and to hit the treadmill she has at home a couple times a week.
Diet
Jillian said, "My lunch is always fried food. Help!"
Martica's menu Jillian has cereal for breakfast--always a smart choice--and a healthful dinner in the evening. But things fall apart at lunch. Cafeteria staples like French fries and chicken nuggets don't have many redeeming nutrients. She could bring a sandwich (whole-grain bread for more fiber) and then stuff it with really nutritious goodies like veggies and cheese. Jillian says her salad bar at school looks unappetizing, but she should look again. Maybe the lettuce is wilted, but beans, carrots and tomatoes have a long shelf life, and may be quite edible and delicious. Snacking on yogurt and cheese will help her get more calcium.
Life
Jillian said, "l have the worst time-management skills!"
Dr. M's mantra At night, Jillian should make a schedule for the next day and follow it as closely as she can. After a while, she'll get into a routine and won't need a written schedule. Next, she should list all the ways she spends her time during the week, then decide what activities she could eliminate or spend less time doing. The biggest time-wasters? Boring TV, Internet surfing and endless phone calls!
Fashion Christy, 12
Christy said. "I want to change my too-plain style."
Suzin's spin Christine's new funky haircut demands a more trendy style. So Suzin mixed up a tab guitar tee with cropped plaid pants, then added a double-wrap belt, lurex wrist cuffs, and trendy sneakers that really make this fun, casual look rock!
Hair
Christy said, "I dyed my hair brown this summer, so now my roots are coming in. And my haircut is kinda bad, so I want it to look better!"
Danielle's 'do Danielle got rid of Christine's roots by deepening her natural color and adding caramel highlights: She then kept Chirsty's length, but added an angled fringe around her face and cut into the ends to add motion and take some weight out.
Makeup
Christy said. "I want makeup that works with my coloring and features!"
Lori's look Lori used a glittery blue-green eye gloss all over Christine's lids (She She Total Baldwin). Cheeks were warmed up with bright pink shimmer powder (Dirty Girl Shimmer Powder in Pinch-Me Pink). Lips were glossed with iridescent gloss (She She Cosmic Kiss Duo). "Asian girls look great in blues and greens--don't shy away from sheer color!"
Workout
Christy said, "I want to feel stronger for tennis."
