Practical Magic!
(Or how to live out your dreams even when you’re strapped for cashed!)

A few more tips from the experts...

Dress Better!
"Grab a cheap tank or tee, and personalize it with beads, ribbons, rhinestones--- whatever strikes your fancy! It's a fun exercise for your styling chops; you'll come up with an interesting ensemble without spending a bundle! We did just that at the recent Pond's Clam Camp---so much fun!"

-Kate Tomas,
Fashion Designer

See the World!
"Travel as a group because the 15th person goes for free, and you can all split the savings. Go to a travel agent, and let them do all the work for you. Just tell them your budget and where you want to go. They'll be able to get you the best deals since they know what's out there."
-Jennie Verano,
Far Eastern
Travel Agency (FETA)

Look Gorgeous!
Take care of your skin. Nice skin means less makeup. If you have a budget, and you can only afford two items, buy lipstick and colored eyeliner. The colored liner can double as shadow. Just smudge a little. Oh, and wear sun block everyday!

Get Schooled!
"Study hard, and get good grades because scholarships are granted on the basis of academic performance--as well as financial need. We also look at entrance test scores, extracurricular activities, and leadership potential. As long as you work hard and do well, you have a good chance."
