Dancing Makeover Games


A full body makeover is tough if you are trying to go from one body type to another. For example, if you don’t have much muscle and you’re trying to lose weight, you’ll need a way to exercise and build muscle at the same time. Fortunately, the best way is a very easy thing for girls to do. The best makeover game is to dance like a maniac!

It’s likely you’ve danced for a few songs here and there at a school dance or maybe in your room. But I challenge you to turn up the volume and dance for thirty minutes straight. Try out new moves and be free with your movements. If you’re in your room nobody can see anyway.

The motion will help to burn calories and your overall conditioning will improve as well. You’ll also notice just how hard it is to hold some of those dance moves, so you can expect your muscles to get a good workout as well. If you start a new dance program and dance 25-40 minutes every evening, you’ll feel great and it won’t be long before you’ll notice your body trimming up and feeling much stronger, too.

Mood Makeover Games


If you want to go from blah to fabulous or depressed to ecstatic, you don’t need a good gossip session or a new crush, you just need to play mood makeover games! Changing your mood is a matter of focus and the ability to move beyond the emotions you’re bogged down in. If you want to step out of negative and switch your mood entirely, you must:

1. Figure out what mood you’re in and why. If you feel down in the dumps and don’t know why, you’ll probably have a hard time shaking it off.

2. Think of a way to resolve the problem for now. This might be a real answer like talking to your teacher about a grade or it might be a patch such as resolving to study more in the future.

3. Put the incident behind you. Once you’re free and clear of the past, you can move forward. This is the most challenging step as we tend to dwell on things even once they are resolved.

4. Choose your new mood and picture yourself there. If you want to be happy and excited, stop for a minute and remember what that feels like. Then start acting that way. At first it will feel false, but soon you’ll be acting happy and realize that you actually are feeling pretty good about yourself.

Winter Makeover Games


When the weather gets colder, it’s time for some winter makeover games. Winter makeover games are a bit more fun than any other season for a few reasons, and until you’ve braved the ice and snow to make it to the mall for a new anything, you can truly appreciate the fun of the cold season’s version of makeover games.

You Get To Wear More Clothes
In the summertime, your makeover games are limited to the amount of clothing you can wear. But in the winter time, your makeover games can include jackets, hats, umbrellas, boots, scarves and all kinds of layering pieces. With so many articles of clothing and accessories to choose from, it’s easy to have fun, but challenging to pull a full look together.

You Find an Excuse to Shave Your Legs
In the cold dry weather, it is a challenge at times to go through the hassles of shaving your legs – especially if you’re just wearing pants or heavy tights every day. But when you play makeover games, you might have a chance to wear something more fun than jeans and a sweatshirt (again.) So grab a new razor and a heavy cream to keep that fragile skin moist.

Pink Cheeks and Noses
Pink cheeks and noses are just part of the deal when you play in the winter. The cold weather makes your fingers cold, and your little nose might just turn pink as well. The pink on your face makes your eyes sparkle, showing just how much you love makeover winter games.

Makeover Games with Taylor Swift


Recently I saw the video for Taylor Swift’s newest single, and if anyone enjoys makeover games, it must be Taylor Swift. The girl is already beautiful, but in the video for Love Story, she dresses up in a period costume from the nineteenth century. In fact, she wears a few of them – all of which are beautiful.

Any girl who enjoys makeover games would get a kick out of her wardrobe in the short video, and more than a few of them would be a bit green with envy. I know I wouldn’t mind just one of the fancy ball gowns, lace up corsets and trailing waves of fabric Taylor is lucky enough to wear.

It begs the question – does Ms. Swift get to keep all of those fancy gowns? If it were my music video I’d be sure to take at least one of the gowns home with me – probably the last one she wears as she’s racing across the field toward her one true love, but that’s just a personal preference. One thing is for sure, a period piece such a that would be a fine addition to any girls make believe wardrobe.

Body Makeover Games


Sometimes we need more to a makeover than just a few new clothing items. For those who struggle with too much extra weight or too little, it’s time for a body makeover.

If you’re younger than twenty-one, you don’t need to spend much time actually dieting. Instead, you should refocus your attention on getting plenty of exercise and action during the day and limiting your food choices to healthier alternatives. By eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, snacking on healthy items rather than junk and eliminating sugars and other highly processed foods from your diet, you’ll be training yourself to eat in a healthier way and combined with exercise, you’ll naturally begin to lose weight.

Tone and Condition
Part of your ongoing physical activity to make your body makeover work, you’ll need to include strength and toning exercises. This is especially important for those having a hard time following the diet. By exercising and then toning each day, you’ll be building muscle mass and helping your body burn off fat and calories. The increased muscle mass will make it even easier to burn extra calories and you’ll be fit and trim before you know it.

Cool Weather Makeover Games


It’s officially fall, and now it’s time for some cool weather makeover games. You can play your makeover games online or you can work on improving your own look or another friend’s. Whichever you decide, you should be preparing for a winter look.

Winter Wardrobe
So what is part of a winter wardrobe? The wardrobe will likely contain any number of things, but the bulk of it will be long sleeved shirts and sweaters, long pants and a thick jacket used over the rest of the clothing to help keep the cold out. You can also have fun pulling together extra accessories such as gloves or mittens, a cold weather hat, and even special winter or snow boots.

Picking the Right Items
There is almost no right or wrong way to make a winter outfit. If anything, people are more forgiving of fashion goofs during the cooler months. Unless you’ve ever sat too close to a cracked window, you might not understand the woman walking her dog in flannel pajama pants and a large sweatshirt. It might not be what you consider fashionable, but it will look comfy and warm to the rest of us. You design your individual winter look using the items available online. When you’re finished, you’ll have mastered the cold weather make over game.

When Not to Play Makeover Games


There are times that life is almost overwhelming – right before something big happens, in the middle of a messy relationship, at the end of the messy relationship or any other time that you’d rather just sulk in the comfort of your bed than actually get on with the business of life.

It seems like the down days would be a perfect time for a makeover, and the dumps is a perfect sign it’s time to go shopping, but maybe not for a full makeover game. Why not? Because makeovers should be done when you are feeling full of light and life. If you’re in the middle of emotional drama, you won’t be emotionally stable enough to pick a new hairstyle or spend hundreds, possibly thousands, on a new wardrobe to accommodate the look.

You should avoid playing makeover games using yourself as a subject during the hard times as you might get a bit overboard, but while you’re waiting for the drama of life to wash away with time, you can still enjoy a huge selection of online makeover games. Who knows, perhaps while you’re playing you’ll be able to see a new style that would be perfect for you or discover a simple look with some new makeup that would help to lift your spirits.
