    • Prom Stress: Don't Forget About the Boys

      By GalTime Teen Expert Jennifer A. Powell-Lunder, Psy.D.

      Prom Night Prom Night The focus of prom has long been on girls. From the dress to makeup and hair, articles abound about the picture perfect prom night for young ladies.

      While common lore has it that girls spend years dreaming about prom night, there is so little said about the boys.

      Much of the prom hype is due to savvy advertisers trying to capitalize on market share. After all, prom promotion is a once a year opportunity. While prom is usually an exciting event for both boys and girls there is some stress involved.

      Traditionally (and developmentally), girls can rely on their peer group to talk out their cares and concerns while boys, by nature, may be less likely to discuss the related issues. The most common concerns:

      • Who to ask to prom

      • How to ask

      • What if she says no

      • Prom related costs

      I'll never forget my first Mother's Day. I had a seven-month-old, and I was six months pregnant. How many women can say that?

      I'll also never forget the beautiful diamond necklace my husband bought me or what he said when he gave it to me: "I wanted you to have something special, but don't get used to it!" Men. This year, perhaps he'll take note of the fabulous and clever gifts featured here.

      They all fit into the three F's, as I like to call them-Food, Fashion, and Face-the modern-day girl's best friends.

      Day-to-Night
      As I've said countless times, multi-use products are the way to any Type A Mommy's heart, which is why I adore Paige Hamilton's brand new iPad carrying case debuting for spring. Not only is it made of an ultra-sleek and easy to maintain rubber, but it doubles as a clutch for date night.

      Happy Mother's Day!Happy Mother's Day!Are you on the hunt for a Mother's Day gift? According to the National Retail Federation spending on presents for dear 'ole mom is expected to increase to about 152 billion dollars, up from last year's 140 billion.

      If you don't have a big budget there are plenty of ways to let your mom know you love her.

      Mom Saver-in-Chief Lisa Reynolds from Redplum.com shared some low cost Mother's day gift ideas with GalTime.

      • Give her "me" time - Being a mom can oftentimes be busy and hectic. Give mom an upcoming Saturday, Sunday or full weekend all to herself. She can spend the day getting pampered, catching up on a movie with friends, or just enjoying her personal time. It may seem small, but the additional "me" time will mean a lot.
