Makeover Games for Easter


If there was ever a great day to get dressed up, it would be Easter. Easter Sunday is a big day in the life of most churches, but even if you’re not going to church you might still have a family gathering of some kind. You could be one of the ones hiding the Easter eggs for the little kids this year, and if so, you’ll be in the spotlight – at least for a few minutes. Why not use makeover games to help you dress the part?

Easter tends to be a formal occasion in the sense that you don’t just wear jeans and a t-shirt. You can, of course, but many people use the opportunity to pull out a pretty springtime dress to wear that really complements their figure and showcases their desire to wear something pretty again. We spend a lot of time wearing heavy winter clothing, and with makeover games for Easter, it’s the perfect time to start wearing something that really makes you feel great again.

Spring Break Makeover Games


Spring break is finally here, and it’s time for makeover games. If you’re anything like me, you probably lost a bit of your fashion edge over the last few weeks. It’s a very tricky time of year, actually, which only compounds the laziness most of us feel when we roll out of bed in the morning. It’s hard to be fabulous when you’re dealing with class work all day long. But now that it’s spring break, you’re not dealing with coursework anymore – you’re ready for some fun makeover games instead!

Makeover games are easy to play and you can tailor the experience to be your very own version of the games. There are no rules here. When you play makeover games, you might start with the fashion that’s already in your closet. If it’s done being winter in your area, go ahead and pack away the heavy sweatshirts and snow boots. Then pull out the cute things you’ve been dying to wear again and try them all on. Over the days that are left, spend time finding the perfect haircut and enjoy some new make up items. By the time you head back to work you’ll be truly fabulous.

Makeover Games and Toenails


It may seem like an unlikely combination, but I make a lot of my decisions about makeover games based on my toe nails. When my toenails are pretty, I feel like I look good and that I’m taking care of myself correctly. When my toenails look sloppy or my feet are callused and not as attractive, I’m not nearly as included to play other makeover games. Right now, for example, I’m dealing with unpainted toenails.

I need a pedicure desperately. I need a manicure desperately for that matter as well. This weekend is going to be my time for beauty though. I’m going to use some serious makeover games to get my toenails in order. At the same time, I’m going to get my nails done and perhaps even get a haircut and new style. Heck, while I’m at it, why not use some makeover games to get some new clothes. And so it goes – the toenails seem to be the beginning of every round of makeover games for me, and they are always fun.

Makeover Games and Me!


It’s time for some serious makeover games. There is something powerful that happens in the spring to make me decide that it’s time to make a change. When I feel the need to change, I act on it – after all, life is designed for taking chances and doing fun new things. If I’m getting a bit gray around the temples, which suddenly I am, it’s time to dye my hair. If I see spots on my skin, it’s time for more foundation and concealer. There’s no reason to go through life looking like a total slob, although I do this all of the time already. It would be far better to finally pull myself together and start looking like I care about myself again.

When I play makeover games, I expect my universe to feel a bit more comfortable. I feel icky when I know I’m not trying to make myself look as great as I normally might, and that feeling will follow me throughout all of my day. I hate it, but then I just can’t get myself motivated enough to do something about it properly at the beginning of the day. I think a full transformation is in the works, and fortunately I have spring break to do it in. I’ve decided that when I come back from spring break, I’m going to be a new and improved me – and that will be the product of great makeover games!

Makeover Games and Television


I’m never exactly sure if television is a hinder for makeover games or if it’s a boost. The actors on television are women who are almost unnaturally thin most of the time, and to look very thin on television, you have to be even thinner in real life. It’s an unrealistic standard for most of us. Of course, there are now so many shows that realize this, however, and those shows are giving us a better idea of how to lose weight and get in shape.

Why not hop on the treadmill while you watch Biggest Loser? Or spend the commercial breaks of Celebrity Fit Club doing some crunches and squats? If you use the television as inspiration to make yourself healthier, you’ll be able to do far more with your time than you would be able to if you were pinning your hopes on being thin enough to make a size 0 someday.

Makeover Games and the Winter Months


If your makeover games are going to include a dramatic reveal of a new body type, the winter is the best time to make a big change. Start a new work-out routine in the fall as the weather cools down and you’ll be able to hide your progress under big sweatshirts and heavy jeans and pants. As the rest of your school is gaining weight from the holiday season, you’ll be trimming up and looking better and better.

You’ll be able to let everyone know in a big way if you wait to do a final reveal of your new figure after spring break. Keep wearing the heavy clothes through those final cool months. Over spring break, get a new hairstyle and update your makeup. Buy some new outfits that really showcase your makeover games, and then, when you walk into school on the Monday after the holiday, everyone can admire how hard you’ve worked and your progress to date.

Makeover Games and Weight Gain


It’s easy to enjoy yourself when you’ve lost weight, but it gets much more complicated when you’re dealing with a weight gain. When you gain weight your body shape changes and suddenly numbers become more important than fit. If you can just get back into size [insert number here] then the world will be a better place. This is why you see so many women and girls squished into pants that are obviously too tight.

It’s surprising to many people who have gained weight to learn that you are far more attractive in clothing that is one size larger, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Squishing out of pants makes you look fat. Wearing pants that skim across your body makes you appear more slender. If your clothing is getting too tight and weight loss isn’t a rapid solution, take yourself shopping. Rather than feeling bad during your makeover games at home that your old clothing does fit, just enjoy the clothing you can find that does fit and flatter.
