will be picture-perfect, too. The following<br />
makeup tips are for tweens and<br />
teens as they head back to school:<br />
• In sixth grade, wear lip gloss,<br />
some mascara and a bit of pale eye<br />
shadows; don’t go too heavy, or it will<br />
look bad. Keep it natural. You can add<br />
a touch of glitter, but don’t overdo it!<br />
• In seventh grade, you may begin<br />
to care more about your appearance,<br />
so use a lightweight foundation<br />
or powder and a little eyeliner. Don’t<br />
use too much. You don’t want to have<br />
black eyes! Use a natural eye shadow<br />
and a light-colored shiny lip gloss.<br />
You also can use a powdered highlighter<br />
to give you a natural glow.<br />
• In eighth grade, you are getting<br />
better at makeup, and you know<br />
what you like. Try establishing your<br />
own style. Liquid or powder foundation<br />
is great, but be sure you blend<br />
it. Try a bit of darker color for your<br />
eyes, cheeks and lips. But remember,<br />
natural colors work best.<br />
• In ninth grade: Welcome to high<br />
school! You are around a variety of<br />
ages, and you are going to want to<br />
look like the rest of your peers. You<br />
should, by now, have your own makeup<br />
style. Update your look a bit, no<br />
one wants to carry the same look they<br />
had in middle school. You can wear<br />
your usual makeup during the day,<br />
and make it up, but not too much.<br />
If you go out at night, you can add<br />
darker shades to your eyes and lips.<br />
Places like CVS, Walgreens and<br />
Walmart Inc. have great makeup lines<br />
that are not too expensive. Sephora<br />
and Mac Cosmetics have makeup, too.<br />
• Beat the Crowds for Less<br />
Stress<br />

The longer days of summer fun<br />
and vacationing will turn into a backto-school<br />
gallop next month. Amid<br />
the challenges of keeping children<br />
occupied, planning vacations and<br />
celebrating the summer holidays, parents<br />
can help themselves by doing a<br />
little pre-planning. While they’re at<br />
The Grove, racing from store to store<br />
getting daily activities done, parents<br />
should keep a mental list or, better yet,<br />
put those smartphones to use and make<br />
actual lists of the things they know their<br />
children will need once school starts.<br />
Yes, each teacher will have their<br />
own list of “must haves,” but there are<br />
always the basics that are needed,<br />
including paper, pencils, pens and<br />
backpacks. These items can add<br />
up to a big bill when buying them<br />
all at once, not to mention all the<br />
elbow bumping of parents seeking<br />
the same items at the same time. It<br />
is a good idea to take advantage of<br />
summer sales and bargains at one’s<br />
favorite discount store.<br />
If a child is entering a grade where<br />
his/her backpack will be holding<br />
more books and binders, parents<br />
should consider purchasing one of<br />
the many great packs designed to<br />
carry extra items, so their children<br />
will not strain any muscle groups before<br />
they even get to gym class. Also,<br />
even though it will be August, parents<br />
can grab a $1 calendar in the clearance<br />
pile and post it front and center,<br />
so they can mark off dates that<br />
are sure to be on the first papers that<br />
are sent home from school. Set those<br />
smartphone calendar date reminders,<br />
too, for your and your child’s phone.<br />
Everyone carries phones today!<br />
If parents can wade into the school<br />
year with a little less stress, they can<br />
feel good knowing they have avoided<br />
some of the inevitable anxiety<br />
that comes when a child is starting<br />
a new grade.<br />
