Pathway for people to walk on the road. And they dont really have airconditioning at all. They dont have lights. They dont have floor. They dont have toilets. They have really extreme poverty conditions. Bad as conditions are in countries like uganda, girls have it even worse. The reason i focus on Subsaharan Africa is because girls never get the chance. Theyre often married off at a very young age or they just are used to work at home and work in the fields while the boys go to school. And thats why reverse the course was born. So why dont you come help me make a bow . Reverse the course is a business and foundation that i started at the age of 12. I really wanted to help one girl go to school, and so i thought by selling products i could raise money to pay her tuition. But before she could sell any products, she needed to make them, and thatnc some new skills. Um, so it took about a month, maybe two months to really teach myself how to sew. And like i can only do a Straight Line still, its not like clothes or anything. Mary grace started small, with just one product. This is actually, my first thing i made. Its called a reversible headband. And it just slides in and out like that. Oh, thats so clever. With time, she added more and more types of accessories, and invested in more sophisticated equipment. This is an embroidery machine that i bought this past fall, and what it does is it embroiders letters, monograms, whatever you want and it can do like sailboats and different icons, too. So, for example, this is just some letters that i recently did, and then i can do different icons which are back up here. Her mother helps her with running the business end of things, but mary most of the accessories herself, from headbands to bows. I try to do a lot of dualpurpose things so that people can both get a bargain but then also be able to help girls go to school. And thats the neat part about it. Oh, this is one of my newest things. Its called knot for profit, but knot, cause of the little knots on the headbands. These are monogrammed bows which you can stick on a headband. Her school bookstore agreed to sell the accessories. She raised enough money to pay the tuition for the girl in uganda, and many others as well. These are photos of some of the girls mary graces handiwork has helped to educate. And i started going into retail stores, and now im selling in eight different states, and so its grown a lot. Hi, sweetie. Hi. How are you . Im good. How are you . Good, thanks. All right so. Bring me some goodies . Yep, heres some new bows. Great. Yeah. Let ah, look at that. Its like spring in a bag. [ laughs ] dont you love it . So why did you decide to carry, um, mary graces hair i was walking down ththe strt for the Sidewalk Sale one day and i came across her display and her bows and i had to have them. I totally fell in love with them. I loved the concept. I loved the color combinations. I loved the fact of what she was doing benefited so many other people and it was just it was the perfect fit for our store. Theyre incredibly popular. People love it. Let me see. You look fabulous, sweetheart. So what do you think about your headband . Its cool. Its comfortable, you know . So did you know that youre supporting a really good cause in helping girls go to school . Yeah. So what do you think about that . Its really, um its nice and it helps them a lot. Mary grace has accomplished a lot, but what about the future . My goal is to reach 100 girls, and so im now at 32 and im almost there. Just step by step. Its amazing how some thread, glitter, and sparkle, along with a lot of creativity and hard work can make such a big difference in so many lives. For teen kids news, im diyu. Weve all heard about going green. And weve also probably heard that going green is expensive. But thats not always the case. Think reusable. Instead of throwing away paper towels, use rewashable dishcloths. When it comes to containers, reusable Water Bottles are definitely cheaper in the long run. These are just a couple of ways to go green without spending a lot of green. Just because theyre legal doesnt mean theyre safe. Important warnings about Energy Drinks, coming up. Maybe youve seen a friend do it. Grab one of those drinks that promise to give you a boost of energy. They even say energy on the label. But as nicole reports, Energy Drinks could be packing a dangerous punch. For more than 1,000 years, people have relied on coffee to help them wake up. I drink coffee because it gives me more energy and i wake up and im ready to go for the day. I can get a little energized, you know, to get going. Its not the coffee that gets you energized, its the caffeine in the coffee. Theres also caffeine in many types of soda, as well as some teas. In moderation, caffeine doesnt cause problems for most people, but too much caffeine is bad for you. It could affect your heart. It could affect your mind. It could affect your breathing rate. It can affect a lot of things. And that brings us to Energy Drinks. Most of us dont realize that the Typical Energy drink can deliver far more caffeine than we should have. Thats why Public Health officials, like dr. Delaney, are concerned. Over the last five years, what weve seen is a marked increase in the number of people who are ending up in Emergency Departments because of their energy drink use. And were seeing people with insomnia, nervousness, agitation, serious headaches, and, in very advanced cases, seizures. Energy drinks are big business. 20 billion in sales a year. A lot of those buyers are teens, and they could be buying big trouble. An energy drink is healthier. Id say an energy drink. Energy drink because it you energy and you can get up and exercise and do whatever you need to. Many kids dont realize that all that caffeine in Energy Drinks can be bad for them. Were not saying its fine to drink soda. The point were making is if you think that Energy Drinks are safer than soda, youre wrong. According to nutrition specialist dr. Deb, kids and teens should not take in more than 100 milligrams of caffeine per day. Thats about how much caffeine is in a regular cup of coffee. In this can, it has about 154. And you also notice that theres no resealable can, and this is two servings. So you can get too much caffeine really easy, and the sugar in these make em go down really, really easy. If it tastes good, thats great, but if it tastes good and you start drinking a lot of it, that may not be safe for you. Just to be clear, the Energy Drinks were talking about are different from the sports drinks teens might have after a workout. They think that these sports drinks and tse are the same thing, and theyre a big fancy word for, like, salt that you sweat out. But these Energy Drinks, they have a lot of different types of stimulants in them, and not just caffeine. So whats the best choice when you want an energy boost . When you want an energy boost, why dont you just make a delicious smoothie . Those are true Energy Drinks. The Energy Drinks you get from the store, you know, they make you go up really high and then crash really low. Its a fake energy and let me tell you, its gonna deplete you. The next time you visit your doctor, dont be surprised if youre asked if you use Energy Drinks. More and more doctors are including that question in their routine checkups. So remember, Energy Drinks are not kid stuff. And theyre not so hot for grownups, either. [ cheers and applause ] the greatest hitter that ever lived ended his career in style.

Thats why were bringing you tips on first aid from the american red cross. What are heat cramps . Theyre muscle pains or legs or the abdomen. What causes them . Exposure to high heat and humidity that causes us to lose fluids and electrolytes. What are electrolytes . [ laughs ] youve probably heard in science class of elements like sodium, potassium . These are electrolytes that are usually found in sports drinks. They are a valuable substance that our muscle fibers really need in order to function properly. Okay, what should we do . First of all, we want to move that person into a cool area, whether that be indoors or even the shade. And have them rest and stretch the muscle, even massaging the area can really be of help. To replenish those lost fluids, though, we should give them half a glass of water or a sports drink every 15 minutes. Just make sure that the fluid doesnt contain caffeine cause that can actually make the situation worse. So lets review. To treat heat cramps, the red cross says. Dont let heat cramps cramp your style. Stay properly hydrated. For tkn, im emily. This report is brought to you by the National Road safety foundation.

Homecoming and prom two occasions during high school when we have the chance to get all dressed up. But sometimes, finding the right dress can be stressful. Christina got advice from an expert. Im here today with kim collins, an expert stylist from promgirl. Com, and shes here today to show us some classic and trendy styles. Thank you so much for having me. Lets get started. So, this first style is considered a classic look. Can you tell us a little bit more about why that is . What makes this classic i the beautiful simplicity of the styling. The strapless sweetheart neckline and the beautiful knot detail just make it that classic look. Mmhmm. And why would this be a good option for a lot of teenage girls . This style is figureflattering on all body types. Not only that, but it gives you endless accessorizing possibilities. You see weve done it here with a very glamorous necklace and beautiful chandelier earrings. Yeah, it does look great. Thank you. So, this next dress seems very dressy. Can tell us a little bit about it . So, this is the complete opposite of what we just looked at. This is all over sequins, completely glamorous, and a little bit of sleeve. Mmhmm. So, how would you suggest accessorizing this as not to go overboard . I like a little bit of a mutedtone earring and a little bangle, and a little strappy shoe always just ties the look together. Yeah. It looks great. Thank you. Personally, i think this floral dress is a really great way to show off a fun and girly pepersonality do you agree . Absolutely. This is one of my favorite looks. Whats really cool about this is this designer took a trend in every type of wear the floral and turned it into yeah. Is that what you like best about this style . That, and it really brings out the personality of the girl thats wearing it. She can be fun and flirty, have a little bit of bling on there, and then she can just put a little moto jacket on, and youve got a completely different look. Yeah, it looks awesome. Thank you. This dress is absolutely gorgeous. Can you tell us a little bit more about how sequins can make a big statement at any prom or homecoming . So, the girl that wants to wear that allover sequined dress wants all eyes on her all night. So you walk in its just this amazing reveal. And then you dance on the dance floor, and these little lights catch all the sparkle. Yeah, she would definitely be catching a lot of sparkle in that dress. Absolutely. This next dress is very sophisticated. I love how the long sleeves are paired with the big open back. Yeah, sleeves are very on trend this year, but to make it not too covered up, the open back really just makes it fun and flirty. Yeah. This dress so, when you come in, its just a little bit of sparkle in the front, but when you leave, you make even more of a statement. Mmhmm. And its very classy, too. Absolutely. To me, this dress is classic with a little bit of a twist. Why is this a great choice for prom . So, the fabric of lace is very sophisticated. You know, any girl can wear it. But when you add a little bit of sequin and that little bit of keyhole neckline, it just makes it really young and flirty. Yeah. These dresses are all so beautiful, and they offer a lot of different styles for varying tastes. But what if theres a girl whos shopping on a budget . Well, at promgirl.
