The Prom Problem: 7 Deadly Sins of Prom

Previously on The Prom Problem: Dress Styles for 2015!

Hey guys! Welcome back to The Prom Problem! Today, we are going to talk about the seven deadly sins of Prom. If you have any 'deadly sins' to add to the list, comment down below and let me know! Lets get into it!

1.) Arriving Early To Pick Up Your Date
Yes, girls do mean the time they tell you to show up. We gotta get our hair, makeup, nails, and outfit done. It can be time consuming. I promise you, we will be using that whole afternoon off from school to get ready. If you show up early, we might not even have our dress on yet!

2.) Being the First Couple to Prom
ALL of the teachers and chaperons talk to the first couple. Not that talking to them is a bad thing, but it can be a bit awk. It is also a tad weird because you end up almost greeting your friends as they walk in. OH, and if press is coming to cover the event, you will totally miss out on that opportunity.

3.) Forgetting Deodorant
When your out on the dance floor, it can get a bit hot. You do not want to have stinky pits all night long. Just double check that you applied a nice amount of  deodorant before you leave.

4.) Tripping Down The "Walk Of Shame"
I do not know if your schools do this, but to get to the bus that took us to JProm, we had to walk down this huge path of parents and friends taking pictures etc. We called it the "walk of shame". Not that it was embarrassing, because it wasn't...unless you face planted. Be careful walking in those heels if you are going down the walk of shame. If you date is walking too fast, ask him to slow down, it okay.

5.) I See London I See France, I See All Your Underpants
Just make sure whatever undergarments you are in are not sticking out. Nothing is worse than a cute picture featuring your Spongebob's or your Victoria's Secrets.  If you need suggestions about what to wear under your dress or suite, check out my other posts in The Prom Problem series titled "Underwear (clean)" "Bras (clean)" and "Shape Wear, Stockings, and Mens Underwear (clean)".

6.) Wilted Flowers
When you pick up your flowers for your date, store them in the fridge until they arrive at your house. This will preserve them so that they stay looking fab all night long. I know a lot of people put on the corsage and boutonnière at pre-prom, but I recommend doing it before in your house. This way it does not have to travel around in the car and risk getting bumped around. Once its on, your good to go.

7.) Black Eyes
I recommend using waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Not because your going to cry (or at least I hope not!) But because it is a long night and waterproof mascara and eyeliner just stays on better and is less likely to give you black eyes.

Best Fit: How to Start Your Fitness Journey

"Best Fit" Let's start our fitness journey! Incorporating fitness into your daily life is difficult. Life is full of wonderful things to do and it can be hard to prioritize being healthy. Today we are going to jump right in and start incorporating fitness into our daily lives.  *Disclaimer: I am neither a fitness expert nor a doctor. I am here to build a community, not give professional advise. Before beginning your fitness journey, check with your medical professionals to make sure you are physically healthy enough to complete any activities suggested. 1. Pick a time of day for your workout: Picking a time of day is a great first step in starting a healthier lifestyle. Putting it on your calendar (maybe even setting up a reminder notice) will help you hold yourself accountable. It will also remind you that you have set aside time that day to go to the gym so you do not double book yourself.  Personally, I prefer to work out in the late afternoon/ea

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers who
