back to school shopping guide



School is starting up in a few weeks...crazy! Instead of dreading get excited about the fashion! Fall is the perfect time to change, mix up or add to your style! All of the back to school shopping can be overwhelming so make a list of what you NEED before you hit the mall. Also don't forget you can wear your summer clothes for the first few weeks of school then when it's actually cold the clothes you need will be on sale

basics
*cardigan
*boots (decide if you want to wear black or brown this fall/winter. If you chose black wear silver jewelry and brown goes with gold)
*blouses
*blazer
*winter coat
*flats
*sweater
*scarves, boot socks and hats

make sure your appearance is neat and put together but don't stress about looking perfect! Don't be afraid to have fun with your look...college is the perfect time to have fun with your style

Ncmo's





NCMO's


For those who are not familiar with the term "NCMO" quite yet, well it's time to get familiar because you will hear the term very often! NCMO stands for Non Committal make out aka just making out with a guy even though you aren't dating.


How to tell of a guy really likes you
-do not kiss him until the third date. If he really likes you he'll respect that and work hard for the kiss. if he's just in it for the action he'll give up and find a girl who will give him what he wants


-of course physical attraction is important but if all you do is kiss it could be a red flag. A good tip I've heard is try going a week without kissing. If you still love spending time with each other great! If not it's time to reevaluate


-does he incorporate you into his life? If he's not introducing you to his family and friends he's not planning on you staying in his life.


-Ncmo's don't seem like a big deal but life is so much better without them. I don't think it makes you a bad person. I just think it creates so many problems AND lowers your self esteem. Living in Provo you see the same people over and over. I've ruined many great potential friendships by kissing the guy and it not working out.


-so say you're with a guy and you know what's coming next. Here's some ideas to avoid kissing. Remember the longer you make the guy wait the more he wants it! (within reason; wait weeks not years!)
*dont watch movies!
*dont hang out past 12
*dont be alone
*keep distance


-Don't let the guy run your life! Be the one that is hard to hang out with, but dont be so unavailable that he just stops trying!  Being ready to hang out with him 24/7 makes him know he can just call you when he "wants some."  Make him realize you are more than just a girl to kiss.  I know that when I have not been available every time whenever HE wants to hang out that I have found better success with a relationship rather than just being the "NCMO girl."


-honestly the best advice I can give is to use your intuition. I'm a big believer of gut feelings and always following them. You know what's best for you. You can ALWAYS tell if you're not being treated right, it's just so easy to justify everything. If something about the guys doesn't sit right with you don't brush it off. Bette to be alone then in bad company! Life's too short to spend time with people who don't see your worth and you deserve the best!

Ultimate Frisbee
Before we went to BYU, we barely dabbled in the game of ultimate frisbee. First few weeks at BYU we realized EVERYONE AT BYU LOVES the game.  Therefore, it's vital for you to learn how to play! 
Here's a site that can help you learn how to play: 


Volleyball
Volleyball is a great game and a great way to get to know people! There were many times when we would randomly join in on volleyball games.  Most of the apartment complexes have a volleyball court or at least one not too far away, so there are plenty of opportunities to play!  Not familiar with the game? Well check out this site to learn the basic skills:

Now I hope you can use these sites to become pros in both the sports! Let's be honest... Guys love when girls are athletic and skilled.. (;

Dating tips




a few dating tips:::
*a lot of girls feel insignificant in provo. there are cute girls everywhere you look. remember that just because someone else is pretty it doesn't make you any prettier or uglier. so if changing how you look isn't the answer how do you get noticed....

*to get noticed you need to stand out. you need to have something that's rare and makes you memorable. what is that..it's confidence! if you accept yourself and love yourself people notice. it gives you a certain presence that people love being around. when you're not concentrating on how your makeup looks or what to say next you can focus your attention on the other person and make them feel important.

*do NOT kiss until the guy works for it!! this is so important and can be so hard. if the guy doesn't work for it he'll 9 out of ten times move onto another girl in a few weeks. you're a prize...make him work for it!! the things that are most worth it are the hardest to get

*to make the first kiss happen consider the following: think of your dream kiss...you can make it happen! Say you want to kiss under the stars. Call your boy and tell him to not make plans on a Friday night. Say you have a fun idea. Go to the park with an ice cream container and spoons, and watch the sunset. Stars come out..and you have your perfect setting. See how you do that? Now for the kiss: have Chapstick and gum with you. Smell good but not overwhelming. For soft lips, put Vaseline on your lips the night before and exfoliate them with a toothbrush. Now all you have to do is make sure you guys are close(to break the touch barrier just offer him a back massage!). Let's the conversation stop naturally, look into his eyes (ya scary but just do it!) and lean in. It doesn't really matter who actually goes for it but try to let him go the last 10%
