Hey Insiders!

Fashionista Corner

Hey Insiders!

have you ever thought of pairing graphic tees with a high waisted skirt?

It totally works and screams high fashion!

and the best part is....it doesnt have to cost an arm and a leg!

i have a business type skirt from kohls ( i bought for $20) its high waisted and black

pair with any graphic tee (I like the graphic tees from american eagle)

pull the skirt over the tee and pair your fave belt with it!

throw on a killer necklace and your good to go!

I did this at school last week and random strangers were complimenting my look!

Exercise!

One of the biggest problem area for women is the inner thigh!

its easy to strengthen the inner thigh by doing a few simple things

one of them is sitting in butterfly position

remember this from gym class?

all you need to do is sit on a flat surface( or a couch while watching your shows!)

bring soles of feet together
bring feet as close to the body as you can
put your hands on your ankles and lean in
hold for about 30 seconds ( you will feel a stretch in your inner thigh)

shake out your legs and do as many times as you want (try doing sets during a commercial break!)

remember dont bounce legs while in butterfly position as it may damage your hips/groin

heres a pic from photobucket.com

Tell me what you think!

If you have any workouts you think should be in my Exercise column please email me at telljennip@yahoo.com

make-up tip of the week!

Lip Gloss!

We all love that gorgeous gloss on our lips in the spring/summer months!

Try this tip to get beautiful soft lips that are protected against the sun's rays!

use your favorite lip balm before putting on your gloss!

(my favorite is soft lips)

by doing this you are prepping your lips with SPF protection, moisture, and it also helps to hold the gloss on your lips for longer!

wait about two minutes after applying balm before applying gloss!

If you have any tips that you think should be posted in my makeup tips email me at telljenniP@yahoo.com

bi-weekly study tip!

Hey its me again,

Todays study tip is something I do everyday and its sooo simple!
use a binder!

I love binders because its a one time deal!
you buy one binder for every 2 subjects and section them off using either store bought or handmade sectionals

section off each subject first
example math/bio

fun idea!
grab your favorite stickers, draw a cool picture in a fun color and write out the name of your classes in the binder ( it will catch your attention and make it fun to read!)

section each subject off into 3 sections
1.) home work/class notes( for the last week)
2.)old material
3.)next test

by keeping your binder organized you'll know exactly where to look for your materials to help you ace that test!

after your test punch holes in the test i(f your professor gives it back to you) and stick it in you binder along with your old notes to keep for your final exam!

also! keep a grades page so you can keep track on how your doing in that class!

reading over your notes daily helps you retain the information instead of cramming the night before

Tell me what you think!
if you have anytips you think should be included in the smarter you section email me at telljennip@yahoo.com!

Recipe Of The Day!

Recipe of the day 3/18/2010!

Today's Recipe is one of my fave's
its...

Portobello Mushroom Caps alla Jenni

I've made this probably more times than I can count!

1.)start off with a package of portobello mushrooms (you can find them at any grocery store in the produce section)
2.)make sure you wash them well and place them into a ziploc baggie
3.)take your favorite balsamic vinegar and pour about 1/4 cup into the baggie
4.)zip the baggie shut and shake it to make sure the vinegar gets into all sections of the mushroom(also a good arm workout!)
5.)put baggie and contents in the fridge for approx 10 mins or until you feel its fully marinated
6.)grab your handy dandy pan and heat up your stove top!
7.)pour contents of bag into pan
8.) cook on med-high temp until its cooked to your liking
9.) add your own spin to it! sometimes I add parmesan cheese to the top to add that extra kick!
10.) serve with a side salad and tada your lunch/dinner is served and because you cooked it you know exactly whats in it!


Let me know what you think!
