How to support your team??

1) Nails 

We have many options here: 

--you could color-block your nails the colors of your team

--be super creative and  make a design (like your flag)

--paint your nails the colors of the rings (I am SO doing that!)

--or, if you're not feeling that vibe, or you just don't like to wear bright colors on your nails, Butter London came out with nail polishes with the medal colors! You can rock the gold, the silver or the bronze! It's pretty cool. (Click here  for the Butter London polishes) 

2) Beauty 

--You can use your colors as well in your hair like a headband!

--Loads of countries have red in their flag, which means most of us can rock a red lip!

--Some drugstore brands have made special Olympic packaging like CoverGirl! (Ladies I am SO purchasing that lip color!)

3) Clothing 

--If you live in Canada, you probably have a huge store called The Bay. It's actually Canada's leading department store. They have all sorts of cute things like clothing to support Canada! (And don't forget to wear your team colors!! 

4) Cooking 

--For this last category, I suggest you bake cookies! You can use frosting of the colors of the rings, or of the medals! 

Hope you enjoyed this post (I know I enjoyed writing it for you guys)!
