Some tips are from wikihow.com

• Although you may have a favorite designer, there's really no need to stick with just one. In fact, there's no need for the pieces to actually be designer. There are plenty of wonderful pieces on the market that are unsigned but certainly make a fashion statement. Mix and match your jewelry to give it character and a little pizazz!
• Costume Tiffany Jewelry, both signed and unsigned, is an affordable way to complete your look. Costume Jewelry can be bought for a low price and has plenty of life. Heck, we see costume jewelry back to the 1920s still in excellent condition. What's great with costume jewelry is you can use it, get tired of it, put it away or give it away and have still gotten good value for your money.
• Designer pieces tend to cost a little more, last a little longer, and they usually follow more traditional lines so you can wear them for more than one or two seasons.
• Sterling Silver is affordable and very versatile. If you don't want to spend the money for sterling, then purchase some silver plate pieces. Silver is a must have for any wardrobe! You can go from dainty and delicate to large and noticeable. It can be dressed up or down and is acceptable for any event or occasion.
• When purchasing Tiffany Rings, you can have great fun - again the choices are endless from large and overwhelming to dainty and feminine. The length and size of your fingers plays an important role in what will look good. For example, long skinny fingers don't look good with huge oversized rings, yet on a woman that has long thicker fingers they look exquisite. Long nails? Short nails? it all makes a difference. Play and see what you like, and what looks good. Also, determine where you will be wearing these rings. For example, if you're working around fine fabrics, you'll not want any rings that have sharp edges that could snag. Your rings are also part of your total statement.
• When purchasing Tiffany Necklaces, be certain you know your neck size so that you get a good fit. This is very important when purchasing online as you don't get a chance to try it on. If your neck is average in size then a 16" necklace will look great, however if you have a somewhat larger than average neck then a 16" necklace could be too tight. Measure the length of some of your favourite necklaces you already own. This will give you a good indication of what length you prefer. Opera necklaces which are over 30" are terrific. They can be double wrapped, knotted, or whatever else your imagination comes up with. When choosing colored necklaces, make sure to pick a color that complements your skin tone. It may match your outfit fabulously but if it doesn't match or complement your skin tone your look could be lost.
• When purchasing Tiffany Bracelets, you'll need to decide where you're going to wear them, and how noticeable you want them to be. The availability of size and shape is endless - you can go from large bangle bracelets to dainty gem bracelets. If it is a slip-on bracelet, be sure that it will fit over your hand. Make certain to measure your wrist as the fit of a bracelet is very important. Too large and it will look sloppy and may even slide off. Too small and it can constrict your wrist movement.
• Your hands are your expressive area and many of us "talk with our hands." (they are also the smallest part of our body!) Try wearing three bracelets on one wrist - its a sign of power. They don't have to match either so step out and do something different. Don't forget to wear a dainty bracelet with your watch.
• When purchasing Tiffany Earrings, realize that the shapes and styles are endless - from dangles to chandeliers to hoops to studs to buttons. There are materials from enamel to beads to gems to metal to wood. The size of the earrings is very important to the statement you're making. The larger the earring, the more noticeable and the more incorporated they become into your total look. Large earrings aren't for everyone - depending on your face size and shape they may actually detract rather than attract. Experiment and find what looks best on you.
• Your jewelry choices are endless - no matter what your tastes, your likes, your dislikes. You'll be able to complete your look just the way you want it with little effort. So be sure to make your fashion statement!

So I haven't blogged at all for a while, because last week I got caught on the computer (I wasn't on the internet at the time but my dad thinks I was), at eleven at night...which I guess isn't good? I don't know...my parents are control-freaks, and they like to be over-protective. It was stupid.

Last Saturday I babysat, and I tried skateboarding....lol, it didn't work too well cuz I fell four times and i have a scab on my elbow, and a huge bruise still. Urgh, haha. Oh well--it was fun while it lasted. It was fun babysitting though...tons of fun.

Friday night I went to Starfest (a talent-show type thing at my school), and it was amazing. After, Kellyn and I went to Tiffany's house and I stayed there, with Tiffany, Travis, Sue, and Trivia for a long time. At about eleven, me, Tiffany, and Trivia went outside and talked on the driveway til I left. It was awesome.....I love times like those.

Last night I hung out with Olya, and it was so much fun! We went to B-Dubs and got Margarita's, and desert, and then went to Burger King to get french fries and drove to a park by her house and talked for like two hours. It was amazing. I swear for the first half hour or so we laughed almost the whole time. It was amazing.

Then today after work, I layed out and tanned because I was bored and it was nice out........well I was lying face-up on one side of my yard, and a car with what sounded like two or three guys passed, and yelled "Ow ow! Yeah!! Lookin good...Lookin good!" out the window at me. Haha, it was nice to hear that lol. 

After that I hung out with Kellyn, and we went to Taco Johns cuz I wanted Potato Olays and then my flip-flop broke so we were laughing about that cuz i had to drag my foot because we had to go get a new pair of sandals and I couldn't walk around in the store bare-footed. It was hilarious though. So then we went to Walmart to get an Icee and went to Target adn walked around there for a while. Then off to her house it was....where we went through the sprinkler with our clothes on a few times. It was fun.

Looking back...I've laughed a lot lately. And this weekend was awesome....I'd love to re-do it again just so I could laugh some more...it's my favorite lol. Tonight, I think I'm going to go lay outside and look at the stars, if they're out. That's also my favorite.

So Tiffany has been seriously thinking about suicide, and it kills me to know that she's hurting, but since she's grounded--she can't even call me. I'm scared and worried about her. I don't wanna lose her, because she's one of my few best friends, and I don't know what I'd do without her.....I don't want anything to happen to her..at all.

That's all I got for now! Good night everyone!!

Last night I hung out with Travis and Tiffany...we watched this movie thingy for work, and then we went to go get some Taco Bell. Came back to my house, went driving around in their dad's mustang. It was a blast....we laughed sooo much! And we found out that our dad's know each other from when they were younger...they roomed together at their dad's parent's house, and went to California together and wow...it was kind of weird finding that out, but really awesome at the same time!

On Sunday night, my grandma called, and she told my mom that they gave my grandpa too much of one kind of medication and he was hallucinating things....and it made his numbers go way up, his heart was racing, and everything was out of wack. As of right now, things are going alright, and if his numbers are stable tomorrow then he gets to go back home. I sure hope things go alright!! Things really had me scared for a while.

My mom's cousin got to go home on Monday. THat makes me happy...I was also scared for her, because she's the one who had 2 strokes in the doctors office at the age of 26.

I have training/orientation tomorrow...and then I start work on Thursday. I'm kinda nervous for training and stuff though, but really excited.

Well, that's all I have for now....g'nite!
