Hey guys! So this is just a new series that i'm starting. I thought it would be helpful and also, I'm here to announce the news that me and Brandin are back together! I'm really happy about it and we've become closer than ever over the past month. It happened 2 weeks after formal and i've just been too busy to blog on here, so there will be an update later but for now let's get into the tip!
 
Disclaimer: I am only 15 so I still have more things to learn, but I won't try to give advice on things I haven't experienced. If you have any other/better advice I want to hear it so comment it down below to help others.
 
So you found this guy you really like, and you've been talking, and he finally asked you out and you want to/or have said yes. Either your parents won't let you date or you just don't know how to tell them about it.
 
O1. Tip: If your parents don't let you date, then don't ,mention the fact that you already said yes (if you did). The way to approach this is to ask permission to say yes. If you just come out and say "Mom, Dad, I have a boyfriend", they probably will not let you because you went behind their backs and disobeyed them.
 
How to tell them: Sit them down, together (or if your parents are divorced tell them spereatly) and say "Mom, Dad, there's this boy that I like and he likes me and he asked me out and I was wondering if you would be okay with me seeing him". (This is along the lines of what I said when I asked my parents a long time ago about Logan) Then, show them him. I would say show them a picture or his instagram or facebook profile (ONLY IF YOUR PARENTS WOULD APPROVE). You could even arrange a meeting with you, him, and your parents. That would be a good thing, just make sure to remind him to be on his best behavior and maybe even tell him a few things to say to charm your parents. For example: If your parents like to watch swimming, tell him to say something about Michael Phelps or something to keep the conversation going in a postivie way.Remind him to have perfect manners and to do gentleman like things such as holding the door for you and your mother and pulling out the chair, stuff like that. Also,be prepared for awkward silences. Just be casual and talk about current events (NOT POLITICS). Also, Don't ask in the middle of the get together "So mommy daddy, can we date now. Can we?" That is putting your parents on the spot. Make sure he doesn't ask that either. After the get together leave your parents alone for a little bit and don't contact him until your parents say yes or no. If he was kind,charming, and courteous, they should say yes in a heartbeat. While at the get together, limit the PDA to a hug at the begingng and the end, but just show your parents that you are happy and comfortable together. Also make sure he shakes your father's hand.
 
O2. Dealing with over protective daddy's
Tip: This is a tough one put i've witnessed this from my uncle and my cousin. All he has to do is go up to your dad, being gentleman like, and ask for permisson to ask you out.Tell your guy not to just run up to him and ask, but to have a nice conversation first and then ask. Also, tell him to introduce himself as a friend of yours. Once again, if he's charming, seems like a nice guy, and leaves a good impression, then it should be all good.
 
O3. If your parents will let you:
Tip: Just sit them down together, alone and say "Hey mom and dad, there's this guy I really like and he asked me out and we've been seeing each other for less than a week I want you guys to know about it" so then your parents can meet him (if they want/care to) and we're all set. Congrats, you have it easy.
 

General Advice:
1. Before you tell them, start mentioning him casually as a friend, and make sure to throw in some nice qualities about him. This is so your parents are aware of and have an idea who he is. It would be even better if they had met before and they truly know him.
2. Tell them alone because you don't want anybody else to influence their opinion.
3. If they happent to say no, be mature and just keep talking to the guy. Your not dating, just talking ya know. Show your parents that you are mature enough to handle a rejection so they can see you are ready.
4. Maybe stretch the truth a little (just a little) Your parents don't have to know every little detail. Example: If you've been seeing this guy for 2 weeks and you haven't told your parents yet. Tell them you've been seeing them for 1 week just so it doesnt seem as bad.
5. Please don't post on facebook or instagram that you're in a relationship before you've told your parents about it. They won't be happy about it.
 

Okay hope this was helpful, and if you use any of this then comment or PM me and tell me how things went :)

Hi guys! So this is just an update for all of you. So i've been very busy with my district testing and I passed all of them. I also aced my EOCs (end of course exams). I'm really proud of myself for working so hard to pass all this. But, right before my tests, and few days after I had made my last set, I was hospitalized for eating pecans. I am serverely allergic to them, and I accidentally ate a cinnamon muffin that had pecans in it -_-. I'm alright now though. Also, Spring Fling was Friday. One of the best nights ever. I acutally ended up going with Brandin as friends. I know I said I liked Tyler, but then again me and Brandin hang out a lot more and it's been fun. Plus i've wanted to kiss him again because it was really nice the last time we did.*sigh* I know, i'm really indecisive. Anyways, bakc to Spring Fling, my dress was perfect. I was from francescas, and a strapless, white eyelet dress with tan wedges. We ate dinner on the boats at the Yacht Club and then danced for awhile. Then I had a sleepover with my really good friends Adrinana, Trinity, Cameron, Lexy, and Mary. We actually jumped into the pool fully clothed and then we met some of our other friends at the pool too. And then they brought their friends too. Then kylie showed up at the pool but nobody really talked to her. Serves that bit.ch right. Yeah, we only have three weeks of school left and hallelujah for summer, when time is all my own. I'll be on polyvore more often too! My next sets will be soon, I have 2 tips planned out so hopefull ya'll will like them. Please comment something down below. ANYTHING. You can even PM me if you want to talk or need advice about anything. Whatever you want I will do for you. Love you gals
xoxo Julia

Hey guys. I really do try to blog as often as I can, so I'll update you as of now and there won't be any tips until May and I'll explain why in a sec. I really have a lot to tell ya'll though.
 
So, I'm pretty happy because Cree and Kylie and being really nice and trying to get me to be their friend again. I'm never falling for that bull again though. And, I want them to be sad because they fu cked up our friendship permenantly and its never coming back. They can beg me, and the answer will still be no. A few weeks ago, I was feeling really upset with myself for being so dumb about this and why I chose to get myself into this. I was blaming myself for everything saying that I should've known better, and when I had even just a hunch that something was off, I should've backed off and saved all this trouble. But now I've realized, I can't blame myself for everything, only parts. I feel so much better now knowing that they feel like they made a huge mistake, which they did. I have forgiven myself, but I will never forget. I haven't forgiven them yet, and I will never forget. But like I said, everything is well with my real friends and I love them so much.
 
Spring Fling is coming up in 3 weeks and me and my friends have made so many plans and its going to be great. So i'm going shopping for my dress later today, and I'm actually in the process of making a tumblr, so i'll post pics on here soon.Its going to be at a yacht club, and then we get to ride on the boats at one point. So before, we're all getting ready at my friend Cameron's house, and then we're going there, afterwards we're going to the movies and out to eat somewhere, and then all the girls are having a sleepover at Cameron's house. The next day is my cousins wedding in San Antonio :) its gonna be great. I hope Tyler asks me.
 
Speaking of Tyler, last night we txted and snap chatted from 9 o'clock to 12 am :) he's awesome. He started sitting with us at lunch and its great and everyone loves him haha. I can't believe theres only 6 weeks of school left and then summer!!! I can't wait. And 2 more weeks of volleyball season and then I'm done with that she devil of a coach I have. Im just in general excited for what is to come :)
No tips until May because I have district testing and that'll take up all my time and tips take awhile to write sorry
 
I'll update you guys later bye lovelies :)

hey guys. A lot has gone down so i just wanted to talk about it. Just so you know I blog on almost every set that's not a tip so if you're interested in my life then here you go :) haha
 
So first of all, i've changed a lot. I've become more mature about things. I recenetly had a huge fight with these girls (ahem kylie ahem ahem cree). If you look at my past sets, we used to be the best of friends but now I know it was a lie. I haven't cried about it and probably never will because everything happens for a reason. Plus they just caused a bunch of problems and undneeded stress in my life and tbh, i'm sorta glad its done and over with. Sticking with my true friends has made me appriciate them so much more. If you want to know more about the fight and all that I'll tell you if you message me. Also, I'm planing on doing a tip on how to know who is your real friend and who isn't. I'm actually pretty proud of myself because i've been handling the drama pretty well. I just act like they don't exsist and when people ask me questions about it, I just tell them that "we're just not friends and whats done is done". sure I was upset in the beginig. Mainly I was upset with myself for being so dumb and thinking that they actually were my friends, but then I thought about how I can be with my real friends more often and not waste my time on a bunch of bitchess. I don't talk about them to anybody, and most of my friends don't really bring it up. I know they talk crap behind my back, but its all dumb stuff like how "I have no life because all I do is volleyball" " My clothes are ugly" "I have no friends" I know all that isnt true so its like why bother. They even tried to play the Logan card (about how logan broke up with me for another girl) which was like 6 months ago and that was kinda mean but they aren't together anymore and I had a boyfriend after logan so it isnt like I haven't moved on already so they looked so stupid when they said that which makes me happy. So speaking of Logan, he txted me the other day and was like " hey you can delete my # now " and i responded back "umm who is this" no reply. I recently went through my contact list and deleted all the people I don't associate with anymore. I thought "why keep kylie and cree's phone numbers if i'm never going to talk to them ever again. same goes for Logan"
Another topic is volleyball drama. I just got back from playing in Georgia and my team got second out of 162 teams yay. But i hardly played at all because a girl who cannot play is in for me. I don't know why i'm all of a sudden not playing anymore. I know I don't deserve not to play. I shouldve known that staying with my current club was a mistake and i'm not going back. I'm going to find a new one and kick ass on that team, and when we play my current team, I'm going to beat them so bad they will regret treating me badly. Its not like im just pissed about not playing, I'm pissed once again for being so dumb and thinking things were going to change if I came back for another season and also just my coaches behavior. I'm sick and tired of her. I'm done with all of them.
Last thing I wanted to talk about was boys. So the guy I like's name is Tyler. Lol i've mentioned him before but he's in my homeroom and he is by far the funniest person i've ever met. He's really cute too. He half black and half white and he has curly brown hair and green eyes. Lol idk if he likes me or anything but i hope so.
ok that is all. please somebody comment down below and if you need advice comment or message me. Love ya'll/

hey guys :) so i promised I would do this tip awhile ago along with a lot of other things so i'm gonna do those. This tip will have a section for healthy, junk, and yummy snack combonations that you may or may not know about. Here we go :)
 
HEALTHY:
The trick to eating healthy is finding snacks that are delicious and nutricious. These snacks are just that.
Fruit salad: pick out all the fruits you like and eat it cold and all together and its just delicious. Especially during the summer
Crasins: These are just dried cramberries and they are so good. They're so sweet and just a light snack.
Cherries: I just love cherries
Low fat ranch dressing and baby tomatoes: I love the taste of this and I eat these a lot when I come home from school
Special K: all the special K things taste great. I normally eat their cereal for breakfast and either have their chips or cereal bars
Pastichios: great light snack :)
Fruit Bars: I think they're by bryers or some ice cream brand (not bluebell). But they're so good my fav is the strawberry one
Frozen Yogurt: i like to mix pineapple and coconut and put pineapple chunks
Yogurt covered pretzels: i get these to eat after volleyball
JUNK:
I normally reward myself occasionally with these things.
 
Taki's: They're basically really spicy tortilla chips rolled up. So good
Hot Cheetoes: I eat these the most often
Oatmeal Creme Pies: These are little debbie brand and i take these as a snack to school sometimes
Cheez its: they are just amazing.nuff said
White chocolate covered pretzels: For a treat sometimes. better than the yogurt ones but i love them so much too
 
COMBOS:
These are either food and drink combos or foods that tast good together. Some of them you've probably never heard of but some of these you may have
Nacho cheese doritos w/ onion dip: Keep in mind that this is really fattening but so good so only eat this once in a while
Ritz cheese crackers w/ fruit punch: I just like the way these taste together. normally i drink this punch by the brand Very Fine
Cheez its w/ Crasins: Sweet and salty. I love that combo
Pesto w/ bacon on a roll: Sometimes I have this for lunch
grahm crackers w/ peanut butter: i can't eat this anymore because i'm allergic but i would kill for these.
 
Ok that's all. Tell me your favorite foods and food combos because i'm looking for new things to try. Also tell me if you just discovered something on here and you try it. or ya know just tell me how your day is going. i like that type of stuff too. okay love ya'll

hey guys :) sorry about being off for awhile. Believe me, I've been actually working on this set for days but i've never had time to finish it or type this up aha. Yeah, I've been busy and my schedule won't be letting up at all. On my ipod, i always keep my calander up to date and theres always multiple events on each day which is super hard. When i have some free time, I'll be working on a set though so I can get one up. Plus set making relaxes me :) yeahhh
so Caleb is oficially the biggest dumb ass ever! ooooh i can't even right about it he agitates me so much. I had a tournament today :) we won which was great. It was actually in town and i got sooo much closer with a few of my teamates :) I am literally sooo excited for summer time. Thats why I made this set a summer one. I used to say I loved the Winter, but now its all about summer to me. I'm so excited for what's to come next year. Here's a list.
* School is out!
* I can hang out with my best friends everyday
* I start my summer training routine again (it was super fun)
*Im going on 2 vacations nothing special. I'll tell you after I go
*I love summer weather
*I'm tired of the cold
*One of my best friends moved and shes coming back to visit
*summer clothes are the cutest clothes ever
yeah and i just had a really great summer last year so I want it to happen again this year. yep. My school is having another spirit week next month so I'm excited for that and hopefully i'll have time to make some sets :) ok i love you guys but i must bid you farewell. byeee

hey guys. wow its been almost a month. First of all, I have so much to tell you guys. Second of all I know you can be upset with me that I havent beein on in a long time. I was bogged down with school and volleyball practice. I was out of town for 2 weekends and I had the flu for a week. Infact Im going to play in a big tournament this weekend out of town. Yeah. so last night me and Karina went to the JV basketball charity scrimage. Quinton was playing and he's going out with Megan now. Yesss I made it happen. haha ok not really but I introduced Megan to the idea.. We were all going to hang out at her house and I was there with my friend Caleb but then he left and Brandin couldn't come so it was awkward since it was just me and megan and quinton. They were getting all close and cuddly so I went home and watched movies by myself haha but thats ok because they got together and Im so happy about it. oh so anyways back to the scrimage. I was sitting with caleb (on of my friends since maybe 8th grade) were sitting together and talking and stuff and I realize that I like him. Like a lot. There are rumors going around today that he was going to ask me to go on a date with him so I hope that happens. And also, Logan and Lauren got back together. It was the most dramatic thing that has ever happened on facebook. idk why people care so much about their lives because i sure dont (i though you guys might want to know) so yeah I'll get back on when I can and hopefully I'll do a tip about m schedule and I know another one I wanted to do was my favorite snacks and stuff ok byeee love ya'll

hello polyvorians! long time no see sorry. so I was tagged by the lovely @allisonxoxoluv :)
 
Basically you just make a list of ten things you are interested/obsessed with at the moment. Yup here we go.
 
1. Alternative Music (Allstar Weekend, Fall Out Boy, Cartel)
2. Sunkist Fruit Snacks ;)
3. Volleyball
4. Wattpad
5. Glee
6. Mark Salling
7. My Converse
8. Volleyball
9. Spring/Summery things(i'm ready for winter to be over!)
10. Dr. Pepper
 
yup yup. thats whats going on. Me and Brandon aren't really together. I'm not sad about it though because we're amazing friends and we're closer than we've ever been. We went to the movies to see haunted house (which btw I was not that scared) and I realized that other than him being good looking, I wasn't really that attracted to him and it turns out he felt the same way. He basically told me that he wants to be friends and maybe we could try dating again in the future and i'm okay with that. I've found out what I truly want in a guy now. Here's a list (if you care, just thought it would be intereseting to put up)
1. Can talk about music with me
2. Likes to watch volleyball
3. Lets me talk and not judge me for what comes out of my mouth
4. Embraces my awkwardness
5. Is mature (like relationship wise, like doesnt send his friends to talk to me for him)
 
okay I have to go, Byeee :)
