Key:
Mostly A’s: Girl you need a room makeover. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Go through your stuffed animals and dolls and either give them away or pack them away. You are not a little girl anymore so get some magazines and take some time to make your room something really special. If you share with a sibling, sit down with her and mom and make a plan. Paint and stencils are cheap and can really make a difference. Save up or ask for accessories such as a comforter set and wall décor for gifts.
Mostly B’s: You got it going on girl! You have successfully made your room something special and something that reveals you!
Mostly C’s: Your room is on the verge of being “you”, but it is too much like a hotel room. , You know, they all look the same. Change some things up by adding some things that are special to you like a piece of artwork you’ve created or an old pair of ballet slippers you once wore. Ditch the posters and add something that’s creative and unique to you.
