  • Rissy Roo's at the JCC of Atlantic County Sip & Shop in Margate NJ

    All of our local Roo Girls know we love to be a part of our southern New Jersey community. The latest in community fun came last week, on Wednesday, July 12th, when Rissy Roo's attended as the Fashion Sponsor at the JCC of Atlantic County's Sip & Shop Ladies' Night Out Shopping & Wine Tasting Event.

    Rissy Roo's at the JCC Sip & Shop Event

    The special one-night Sip & Shop event was for a great cause, to help JCC facilitate sensory play in their early childhood education classrooms. All proceeds from the 2017 Sip & Shop Ladies Night Out went to support the effort to enhance the sensory centers in each of JCC's preschool classrooms. The purpose of the sensory centers is for children to learn important skills, including math, science, physical development, and social and emotional skills.

    JCC of Atlantic County

    Over $4,800 was raised for the early childhood education center classrooms, and it was such a fun community event that brought together both local vendors and national vendors, who traveled in for the special event.

    Other than Rissy Roo's attending as the Fashion Sponsor, Salon Kink was also a sponsor of the event. They styled the hair on all of our Roo Girl models at the event, and even did the makeup for our Roo Girl Juli!

    Thirty six vendors were present in total, including Lululemon Athletica, Aearance Dermatology, Arbonne, BathFitter, Bocca, Brace Urcelf, Cutco, Embellish, Hope Jewel, India Hicks, Le Fashion Cottage, Lularoe, Lusciously Scented, Marilyn Chackman, Mary Kay, Messed & Distressed, Monat, NuSkin, Paper Chase, Pendant of Light, Perfectly Posh, Premier Designs Jewelers, Psychic Answers, Pure Romance, RetroChic Beauty, Sabai Soap, Stella & Dot, Sugar on Topp, LLC, Tara Bella, Traveling Jewels, Usborne Books and More, Wildtree, Younique, and 3 Girls Gifts. Bocca may have been one of our favorite vendors because they provided delicious pizzas and appetizers for everyone!

    Our Roo Girls showed off some of our latest styles, perfect for any party, from summer events to a Bat Mitzvah, to a back to school homecoming dance.

  • Top 20 Promposals

    Promposals, also known as "prom proposals," have always been a tradition that accompanied the annual high school celebration. The ritual of inviting your date to prom in a unique, fun, romantic, or intricate way has certainly gained in popularity with each passing year. These promposals have, undoubtedly, become more and more elaborate with each new prom season.

    We've written many blog posts and posted many pictures on our Facebook page of promposals we love, and thought it was time to pick out our top 20 promposals for the season. Check them out below for a comprehensive list of some great promposal ideas! From simple to intricate and funny to romantic, there's a prom proposal idea for everyone. Make sure to read all the way through for our very favorite promposal.

    20) Chocolate Cake Promposal

    Cake PromposalA promposal can be as simple, yet still romantic, as just taking your date out to a nice dinner, or make dinner yourself, and have the question incorporated into the desert.

    16) Roses Promposal

    Roses PromposalFor a classic romantic idea, make your date feel like a princess with a bouquet of roses, a princess crown, and a cute message. It's just that easy!

    Taco PromposalDoes your date love tacos even more than chicken nuggets? Get a Taco Bell 12 pack, and make a note with the cute message, "Lets 'taco' 'bout prom." It doesn't get much easier than that for a prom proposal! If you know someone who works at a Taco Bell, take this idea to the next level by having the promposal displayed for all to see on the store's signage, like this promposal.

    12) Pizza Promposal

    Pizza PromposalSeeing a trend yet? Pairing food and a cute message is such an easy and fun way to pull together a promposal. Grab a pizza, or make one yourself like this heart-shaped pizza, and add a cute message like "you've got a pizza my heart" or "I know this is cheesy, but...prom?" for a prom proposal idea that anyone will want to eat up. We're giving this pizza promposal extra props for being in the share of a heart.

    11) Whale Cookie Cake Promposal

    Whale Cookie Cake PromposalWe're not done with the food or cute slogan promposals yet! Next up is this cute cookie cake promposal. If you're a baker with an artistic mind, this is such a great idea, especially if your date is an animal lover. Show off your baking skills by making a yummy cookie cake, adding the slogan, "Whale you be my prom date?" to the top of it for a cute, fun-loving promposal. We had to make this our favorite food promposal because of the clear passion that went into baking something like this!

    10) Baseball Promposal

    Baseball PromposalIs your date a big sports player or fan? Find a way to incorporate his or her favorite sport into the promposal. This promposal even found a cute way to incorporate the person's position on the team - the team manager! Top off the cute message with a pretty bouquet of flowers to add a little bit of romance.

    9) Volleyball Promposal

    Volleyball PromposalFor another sports promposal idea, this volleyball promposal is so creative and sent in from one of our very own Roo Girls! We couldn't be more impressed with the creativity that went into putting this promposal message together.

    8) Dog Promposal

    Dog PromposalHave a cute pet in your life or in your date's life? Incorporate the lovable creature into your promposal! After all, who can say no to a cute fluffy face like this dog? You can create a cute dog themed promposal with a message like, "Prom would be 'ruff' without you." Most pets can be incorporated into a promposal idea, so don't get stuck if there are no dogs around to help out your mission. Have some fish? Use the message, "Out of all the fish in the sea, will you go to prom with me?" Live on a farm and have a goat? The message could be as easy as "praaaam?"

    7) Prom Ring Promposal

    Prom Ring PromposalWant a really romantic way to ask your date to prom? Find a pretty ring, and include the message "I prom?se." Not only will they get a promposal to remember, but they'll get a promise ring that they can keep forever.

    6) Ring Pop Promposal

    Ring Pop PromposalAsk your date to prom with a ring, but keep it light-hearted with a ring pop instead of a real ring! Cute and delicious!

    5) Harry Potter Promposal

    Harry Potter PromposalIs your date a Harry Potter fan? Find a way to incorporate their favorite book and movie series into the promposal with a cute message like, "I'm seeking a prom date and I think you're a keeper." Your date will think you're super cleaver and pay attention to their interests.

    4) Makeup Promposal

    Makeup PromposalDoes your date love makeup? Steal their heart with this promposal idea and be the highlight of their prom season and prom night. This promposal is in our top 5 because of how unique and creative it is.

    3) Guitar Pick Promposal

    Guitar Pick PromposalIf your date is a guitarist, put together a a special promposal with a personalized guitar pick. Not only will they have a memento to remember the special day, but they'll see how much you care about and pay attention to their personal interests.

    2) Beauty and the Beast Promposal

    Beauty and the Beast PromposalWith the new Disney live action Beauty and the Beast movie released in March, what could be more romantic than a Beauty and the Beast promposal? This idea has become popular long before the initial mention of the movie remake, so there's been many different forms of this promposal through the years. The consistent factor throughout all Beauty and the Beast promposals is using the famous rose. We love the version in the image above, and check out this one for another idea.

    1) Prince Charming Promposal

    Prince Charming PromposalBeauty and the Beast isn't the only classic Disney movie to pull promposal inspiration from. Channel the classic story of Cinderella by asking your date to prom as Prince Charming. Add some amusement to an otherwise more serious and romantic promposal by presenting your date with sneakers rather than heels. You can even take it a step further by getting customized sneakers through NIKEiD! This Prince Charming Promposal takes our number one spot because it hits every just about every emotion: romantic (who doesn't want to be asked by Prince Charming to prom?), cute (loving those Nike shoes!), and funny (you must have a good sense of humor to go so far as to dress up as Prince Charming!).

    However you decide to ask your date to prom, just remember to breathe, relax, and have some fun!

  • Crush to Boyfriend in 12 Steps

    It does seem like a daunting task, and honestly terrifying. But there is a common thread somewhere right? You kind of know each other and it can’t be that hard to find a situation where you guys can talk. Yes, there is a great deal of fear in approaching someone, even if it isn’t the first time you’ve been at a party or a small group together. Although some things are worth waiting for, you can move things along. Get to know if this guy is a romantic daydream or actual long term relationship material in twelve moves.

    1. How do you even know he’s going to make for good boyfriend material?

    via SJU undergraduate admis on flickr This question will make or break this whole process. You already know each other casually through group activities with friends, school or at work. Through your past interactions, you probably know the answer to this question already. If he’s a good friend it doesn’t always mean he’s going to be a good partner in terms of being your boyfriend. Ponder how you interact with him. Is he’s flirty with just you or is it just his personality? How does he treat his friends? Is he an organizer of events? Or is he more of a party crasher who will eat all the food? Either way, you know yourself best. You know who you click with and who annoys you. Don’t just pursue this guy just because he’s pretty or popular, but because you see some long term potential for a great friendship. That could lead to something more than a friend later.

    2. How do you both interact in groups?

    via Shannon on flickrIs he a considerate friend? Plan an excursion with a small party of your mutual friends. Invite him along. Keep an eye on his behavior without being obvious. If you are usually shy, now is the time to break that habit. Just go for it. Take the initiative and plan something as a group. Be sure you are the one to invite your crush along, whether it is a concert festival, a weekend camping trip or just a visit to the mall. Be the one to call up everyone in your clique personally to invite them along. It might be off-putting if your crush found out you focused a little too much on him. If you live in a rural area, a night of camping and stargazing would be perfect. If you’re in the city, plan something really tourist-like that none of you has done before.

    If you are in college you will most likely participate in some ice-breaker activities. Don't avoid these organized events on campus. Your crush just might be there. It will be fun and you’ll get to interact with everyone in a new way, even your crush.

    3. Do you have shared interests?

    via Damien D on flickrDon’t change your own behavior to attract him. In the long term that’s a poor plan. Whatever relationship you build on that is going to fizzle. Having genuine interests that you both participate in is important. Since you know him already through mutual friends, ask him for help finding a movie trailer or a game online. If he's kind of an outdoor natural type, invite him to the farmer’s market to help you plan a meal for your roommate. If you have a mutual friend with a birthday coming up, ask him for advice on what to buy them. This is a good way to measure his response. Interacting like this is a fine way to figure out if he’s a good gift giver, if he’s thoughtful, even if he’s stingy.

    4. Is he sociable? A loner?

    via PROPeter McConnochie on flickrWhether you are a pizza and Netflix type or a shop 'til you drop and get sushi type, make sure you are both like-minded in your habits. If he’s a frequent customer at your local big box electronics store or an addict at the Ralph Lauren flagship store, be sure you both have similar habits. If you do end up together, you don’t want it to end just because you bore each other to death over things you don’t share an interest in. It is true that opposites attract. Long term you want someone who not only tolerates your quirks but finds them endearing.

    5. Do you share the same Values?

    via Evan Blaser on flickrSharing like minded values is an important aspect to any budding relationship. Think about issues that are important to you. Do you participate in on campus rallies? Or would you rather sign online petitions? Be sure that your potential mate is on board with the things that matter. If he’s ever wearing a “meninist” tee, just run and don’t look back. But if he’s expressed a positive interest in expanding the civil rights bill, that’s a keeper right there.

    6. His Style.

    via Lies Thru a Lens on flickrThis is a superficial aspect of a person, but it is something to consider. You don’t want to be introducing this person to your family if his idea of getting ready to meet your folks is just dumping water on his face and putting on a baseball cap. It’s pretty obvious what his personal style is since you probably see him almost every day at school or work. It doesn’t matter if you are a total preppy and he’s a bohemian. If he’s planning his look, it’s an indicator that he’s thoughtful about his appearance. That is something you want to monitor. It is a clue into his life away from the group, away from school or work where you know each other initially. It can be a good way to figure out if you are compatible.

    7. His Work Ethic.

    You may have had experience working with him in a group project already. If you and your other teammates had to do all the work, forget about him. If he’s lazy in the group, imagine what it’s going to be like if you have to plan a party for a mutual friend or a vacation together. You don’t want to be the one making all the decisions and doing all the planning. It’s exhausting and sooner or later you’ll break it off.

    8. How Does He Treat Others?

    via Adam S on flickrYou can measure the worth of someone by the way they treat another living being who cannot do anything for them. If he’s got a big soft spot when it comes to animals, he’s got a great heart. Perhaps suggest he meet you at the animal shelter to volunteer for the day. From feeding the animals to mopping the floor, this task will reveal to you who he really is. Some towns or schools open the public park to volunteers for a cleanup effort, invite a few friends to come and include him in your call list. If he loses his temper or grins and continues to do his assigned task, it’s pretty important to put people through their paces so you can see how they react.

    9. Is He a Cheater?

    Has he ever cheated on one of his past girlfriends? This is a tough one to figure out on your own. You probably want to avoid having a direct conversation about this with him. See if you can casually talk to one of your mutual friends about this. It is poor form to judge people with the old adage “once a cheater always a cheater” but past performance is a good indicator of future performance.

    10. His Body Language

    via Texas A&M University-Co on flickrOnce you’ve done a few hangouts outside of the group, gauge his attitude toward you. If it’s sketchy, he cancels plans, he’s stiff around you, understand that it might not be right. A crush can be crushed once you actually get some one-on-one time with each other. So if that’s the case, just stop calling him. If he was just nervous and really likes you, he’ll probably call to hang out again. If not, no worries. It wasn't meant to happen.

    11. Ask Him Out!

    2 via Texas A&M University-Co on flickrIf your solo casual hangouts were warm and easy, make the first move and ask him out on a real date. Make it a traditional date activity like dinner and a movie, so he knows you’re serious. Don’t just ask him what he’s doing after work the next day, make sure you are heard and understood.

    12. The First Date

    First dates are always going to be awkward. It’s just part of life. If you find yourself with him alone after all this time and you have conversations with ease, it’s pretty much a done deal. It’s just the cutest when a guy asks, “Want to be my girlfriend?”. But it’s even better when you know it’s right and you say it first. Be confident and know that if he says no, it’s no big deal. You still get to be friends and that’s pretty sweet.

    Some Key Things to Consider
    It seems like the time when you find someone of interest is when you aren’t looking for them. Focus on the things that make you happy. People seem to be drawn to other people who are enjoying life doing their own thing.

    Be comfortable in your own skin before you pursue a relationship with anyone. This is a big hurdle to overcome. Whether it’s the very first attempt at a boyfriend or you’re just getting out of a long-term relationship, think about why you are having feelings for someone new.

    A rebound relationship is never a good idea. You end up hurting yourself as well as someone else. It is best to take the time to reflect by yourself and understand what you need right now. Try not to anticipate and live life for the person you are now, not what you may or may not become.

    via Kristina Cortez on flickrWhen you get ready to go out in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror and set an intention. “Today I will be kind” is a perfect mantra to begin with. What you put out in the world will come back to you.

    Just realizing you have a new crush can be stressful. Don’t feel like you have to avoid him. If you’re getting butterflies, it’s a sign. When you get to know him better, it will be a relief. Even if you both go out on a few dates and figure out it’s not right, you’ll have a great friend in him. It’s actually very beneficial to have a friend of the opposite sex. You can eventually get comfortable enough to ask for advice in your other dating adventures.

    Build your confidence. This is a vague instruction. Set small goals for yourself. If you are really shy this is a great exercise in socializing. Be specific when you compliment someone you don’t know. “I love that scarf, florals are my fave” would be a great start. If you just want to dive in and overcome the fear of public speaking, volunteer at your local library to read to kids. They are really forgiving and you’ve got a ready-made script. Many schools offer public speaking classes, take one. Everyone was new at this once, so it’s no big deal if you trip over your words. You are all there to learn after all.

    via seaternity on flickrGetting to know someone as more than a friend is a part of life that will repeat itself over the course of your existence. If you make mistakes, know that it’s okay. We all trip on the path through life but know that it’s not the end of the world if things don’t pan out in your favor.

  • Five Girls You Meet in College

    Around this time of year, I begin to get nostalgic. I think about all the people going to college, leaving home for the first time, getting to know all kinds of people and new experiences, it’s sensory overload. You can become easily overwhelmed. It’s all part of life.College Girl Holding Textbook

    Some will leave you a better person, and you will end up learning things about yourself that you never knew before. Others will test your patience, which is pretty important. Your limits will be defined during this time of your life. It is best to think of these individuals as ‘lessons’ instead of ‘jerks’.

    Many people you meet will bring out the best in you. They will bring you out of your shell and get you thinking about possibilities you never thought of before. You might even meet your future business partner. In any case, it is going to be a time when you discover more about yourself than ever before.

    Some people will be with you for life, others will fall away rather quickly. In the grand scheme of things, it may not be so important. As you arrive at your first class up until you get to your first off-campus apartment there are some people you’re likely to encounter. Continue reading
