Be YOU tiful

It was a wild and crazy night for the SuperGirls!

Apparently having to sit still in school for a couple of weeks and

not seeing each other since August led to some pent up energy.

Anyways, apart from me having to ask them to tone it down and listen a couple of times we finally were able to eat some pizza and talk about our theme for the night which was all about beauty.

We talked about how our appearance is our outer shell but what makes us beautiful is what is on the inside. It is fun to dress in your own style and wear your hair how you like it and play with make up sometimes but that is not all that we are.

The discussion got interesting when we looked at photos of Miley Cyrus' transformation. The girls clearly liked the old look and her more sweet persona but I said if she was a kind and giving person and a good friend, it doesn't matter that she has a blonde mohawk now. We only see her shell.

We talked about Kellie Pickler who shaved off her long blond hair to support her friend who was going through chemo.





We all agreed that the ladies looked just as pretty without hair but that the gesture was far more beautiful and wouldn't you want to be a friend like that to someone?


Our last picture was one of Lizzie Velasquez.
She was born with a syndrome that prevents her from gaining
fat on her body so at the age of 23 she is only 61 lbs.

We watched a short video of her and her best friend and that is when you could have heard a pin drop while the girls watched and listened.

She said people stare and call her names but her true friends just treat her like she's a regular person. The girls all agreed that she was beautiful in her own way.

to watch it on youtube.com.


The medal for bravery for the night goes to Lauren who then decided to share with everyone her experience of living with a large birthmark on one side of her face. She said that her mom gave her some books with photos of other kids with facial birthmarks so she could read about it and know she wasn't alone.
Besides, she was born that way and there is nothing she can do about it.

All of the SuperGirls agreed that now that we know Lauren and she is our friend, that we don't even notice it! Super neat.

Off to the craft table to create a mini-poster with sayings about beauty and add our own creative touches with stickers and glitter (of course). They turned out great!

Then it was time to play with some make up and nail color for fun.

We rotated between the nail table and the bathroom

(that eventually looked like a bomb of pink eye shadow went off in it).

Peyton's friend Mallory had come to help out so they supervised the nail painting.

Dancing, twirling, jumping and screaming ensued as it always does!

We were able to get a quick game of Act It Out in. They chose their own things to act out like kicking a soccer ball, boxing, karate, bike riding, etc.

Ella stood up and screamed with her hands in a frenzy and Mia yells

"You just met One Direction!"

And she'd guessed it right.

Hilarious.

It was a fun night and even though I felt like I had to meditate after everyone left, I wouldn't trade spending time with all of these girls.

They are a great group and I hope they all look back and remember all of the fun we had and the friendships they made.

I know I will cherish the memories!

Next, I'll send out a save the date card for the Halloween party which is right around the corner.
