QuestionHow can I look cute and dress nicely if my parents don't approve of makeup?Community AnswerYou don't need makeup to look cute. You can just put on a bit of lip balm and paint your nails. Some cute accessories that match your outfit will go a long way too. If you still feel like you need to wear makeup, try negotiating with your parents to let you wear light makeup, but make sure you don't go overboard.

- If it's hard to wake up in the morning and feel good and ready to take on the world, try taking a shower in the morning. It can make you feel refreshed and super energized.
- Put out everything you will need the night before and wake up about 30 minutes earlier to have enough time to get ready in the morning.
- Don’t try to impress other people. The only person you need to impress is yourself! Being you is the best thing.
- Try french braiding your hair before you go to bed, this is good if you want wavy hair or if you're in a rush!
