Now that school is back in session from Christmas/Winter Break, classes have changed for the new semester for some of you, and for others, some may have returned to school sporting something new from the Christmas gift pile. Since things can change a LOT over break times, gossip definitely follows. So, that girl in fourth period is whispering behind your back and you know for a fact because your BFF gave you the low-down; what should you do? I mean, you could go ahead and spin her face, but what good is gonna come from that besides three days of lock down in In-School Suspension/Restriction or havin' your moms rip you a new one? There is a better way to deal with gossip than fighting or biting back with another rumor. Check out three ways to thwart gossip girls.

1. Do Some Investigating. Try to get to the bottom of the rumor if you can. Ask your girls to do a little undercover, private eye work for you. The stories could stem from something that actually happened but got twisted in the process. Or, it could be that something fabulous happened to you over the break and people are hating.

2. Stay Calm. Getting overly hype about a fake story only causes more kids to talk about your reaction and spread even more rumors about what you said or did in response to the rumor. Try your best to keep your cool, which is easy for a classy chick like you, and keep it moving. 

3. Enjoy it. We know it sounds crazy, but being the It Girl at school is status, for real. Because of the gossip, everyone wants to know what you're doing, who you're with, and, dang, what you're eating in the caf for lunch. Ride the wave and enjoy the fact that people are blowin' you up with friend requests on MySpace.

Those are a few ways to deal with pesky gossip from girls in class that are hating. Listen, everyone can't always keep their game on point, so they have to talk about you and your fine self to make themselves feel better. Take in stride and you'll be back to your normal routine in no time. 

Keeping the New Year's Eve Party Going

Just because New Year's Eve has come and gone doesn't mean you and your friends can't continue to get your glam squad on. January is prime time to be amped to reinvent yourself, especially for the new school semester coming up in a couple of weeks. Mixing unexpected touches of bling--especially for class--can give you a boost of confidence and a diva attitude.

 Try a sequined tank, like the one pictured by G-Unit ($34.99, Dr.Jays.com), under a black denim jacket with skinny jeans (Lindsay Skinny Jean in Indigo, $12.50, Forever21.com) for going to the movies with your girls, or your boy. 

 Use some sparkle paired with a bright burst of color for school, you'll be the envy of your friends, and better yet: your foes! (Wide waist pencil skirt, $16.50, WetSeal.com)

  Take this plain-Jane mock-neck sleeveless shirt from Red by Marc Ecko ($22.99, Dr. Jays.com) to the next level by slipping on a long necklace with a large crystal charm (Crystal Heart Necklace, $4.80, Forever 21.com) to make that generic shirt so stunna!

And last, for those of you girls who go to religious services, try a shimmery sweater or dress with ballet flats that give your footwork something to be happy about. 

Take advantage of these ideas and you'll be flossin' your own unique style before long. Why not feel the holiday spirit a little while, longer, especially when you look good, girl!

Shimmer and shine is always in for the Holiday season. Especially when it comes to partying, Christmas style. Check out drugstore brands for cheap, but cute, colors to use for eye shadow.

 

Drugstore and cheap chic staple Wet n' Wild has a new product called Ultimate Expressions Eye Shadow Palette. These palettes come in three pretty amazing combinations. We suggest using 396 Sand Castle or 397 Paradise Cove to compliment our shades of skin. Use one or a few of the colors to acheive a glimmering holiday look. Do it big on the shimmer, 'cause after all, it is Christmas! 

Black Radiance has some very cute, very chic Loose Shimmer Eye Shadows. Check out the colors 3002 Silver Fox and 3003 Golden Sun to use as highlights in the inner corner of your eye. Just take the very tip of your eye shadow applicator (or keep it gangsta and use your pinky finger, like us) and gently dot the shimmer on the inner corners of your eyes, near the tear ducts. Using this trick will make your eyes look brighter and definitely comes in handy when you're eyeing that cutie from class at the Christmas party!

Lazy, lazy, lazy! We know you haven't gotten up off of your lazy behind to get in gear for holiday gift giving. Above are some books that are fly, yet frugal. These books from Walmart.com are all under $10. The three we chose are Confessions of a Backup Dancer by Anonymous, as told to Tucker Shaw, Camp Confidential: Falling in Like by Melissa J. Morgan, and Confessions of a Boyfriend Stealer: A Blog by Robynn Clairday. With that in mind, get to giving!

If you still need Christmas gifts for your BFFs that are hella cheap, check out these cute Mossimo hoodies from Target. At $14.99 and in a couple of colors for each style, you can cop one for your girl AND one for yourself.

Don't let dry, dull skin take away your holiday hype. Smooth a bronzer like Bonne Bell's bronzers in Golden Tan (left) and Coppered Bronze (right) on the tops of your cheeks, middle of your forehead and a dab on the chin; all of the places a light or the sun would hit you naturally. Smackin' on a bit of bronzer--even for us Black chicks--helps brighten up our already caramel complexions. It ups your glow factor, but won't break the bank. At about $4, this will have you glowin' with the flow in no time flat.
