How To Be a High School Celebrity (a La Cher Horowitz)
People in high school wish they were more popular, fabulous, and outgoing than they are.Someone like Cher Horowitz from the movie Clueless.
Step 1: Have good hair.
It doesn't have to be blonde but healthy and stylish.You should show your hairdresser exactly what you want when you get your hair cut.Don't ever trust them to cut your hair in a way that will flatter you, and only go to someone that you trust to do a good job and who you know can cut it the way you want it.You'll regret it later if you don't look up reviews of different salons.
Step 2: Wear minimal makeup.
Don't forget that makeup is meant to enhance your natural features, not to hide or change them.You don't have to spend a lot of money to get the look that you want.Don't be afraid to jazz it up with a smokey eye or popping lip color for social functions and events if you wear eyeliner, mascara, and lipgloss for school.
Step 3: Get involved in the community.
Try to talk to people from different groups at parties.It's not an excuse not to go to parties if you don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, because no matter where you are, you will be the only person sober.Have a good time with your friends, don't be trashy.At lunch, hang out with a lot of cool people.Remember that whoever you hang out with can be cool.Lots of other people can sit with you at a good lunch spot.If it's in the most central spot in your school, everybody can see you and your friends having a good time, and they'll want to join in.If they're trying too hard or trying to be like you, don't make fun of them.You should be nice to everyone.Don't forget to keep up with the latest gossip.You want to know if there is an arrest or a break up.
Step 4: Get involved with the school.
Do your homework.You can't ignore your studies if you want to keep up a social life.Contrary to popular belief, people like hanging around people who are educated and can keep up an intelligent conversation.If you want to have a developed vocabulary, aim for A's and Bs in your courses.Cher would read one book a week.Good grades are more important than freedom.If you fail your courses, your social life is in the toilet.
Step 5: Be well.
Get at least 45 minutes of exercise a day.Cardio is more important than strength.Don't try to look like a body builder, it's a great thing.Even if you aren't at your goal weight, you need to feel confident with your body.Except for occasional french fry/pizza binges with girlfriends, eat healthy all the time.If you bring a lunch to school, make sure it's the healthiest meal of the day.You don't want people to think that you're not interested in yourself.A piece of fruit, vegetables, and some crackers is a good idea.
Step 6: Have good hygiene.
The smell is good.Try to buy all of your body wash/lotions in the same scent, or a scent that goes with it, so that you don't smell overpowering.It's just as important as layering scents.Do whatever it takes to get as clear skin as possible, and shower daily.If you plan on wearing short sleeves or any bottoms other than pants, make a list of all the things you need to do, from head to toe, and don't forget anything.People don't like hairy legs and pits.If you're against hair removal for any reason, try to keep your legs and armpits covered.There is a list of things to do such as wash hair, clean ears, shave armpits, wash body, manicure, pedicure, and shave legs.
Step 7: Get a wardrobe.
You don't have to spend a lot of money to be fashionable.The yoga/sweat pants are not appropriate for school.If you don't put any effort into what you're wearing, you will be seen as sloppy and slobby.A girl with her makeup and hair is wearing a t-shirt and track pants.H&M is one of the stores that sell stylish, affordable, and original clothes.Nobody else would have these cute pieces in thrift stores.You can be more in fashion at all times because you can replace your out of date outfits more frequently.Some stores that are a little bit more expensive but have a bit nicer clothes are American Apparel and Urban Outfitter.Local boutiques and department stores are good places to shop.If you go to a boutique in a different town, the other girls at your school shop at the one in town will find out that it isn't really that flattering on you.
