Q: Next week is my best friend's birthday. I wanted to get her something that she'd really like so I decided to get her a necklace from Tiffany and Co. Their are two necklaces that I like, so I thought that I would ask you guys which one you liked better. Price doesn't matter. Here are the links to the two necklaces:

^ I was planning on putting her initials on that one. Do you think people would think that that necklace with the initials might be fake since it doesn't say return to tiffany on it and since you don't usually see it with the initials?

And here's the other one:

^click on the picture of that one to see what it would look like on your neck.

Thanks!

that is the same link for the same bracelet. i love it though. it is totally awesome. i think the initials would be adoable too.

Q: I went to a friend's house a couple of days ago, and I got bit by some kind of bug, and now I have a bunch of bites around my ankles and lower legs that seems to be turning into a rash. It itches SO bad. What can I put on this rashlike thing to make it stop itching, because Im lacking sleep at night froom this!

you could buy calamine lotion. i use it when i get mosquito bites and it works wonders. it comes in pink or clear. i advise the clear b/c ppl cant tel ur wearin it.

Q: Hey there, I am a 20 year old MALE with a serious hair dilema! My hair is naturally thick, dry, curly and quite rebellious aka the worst hair you can have for styling lol!
A few monthes ago I got my hair chemically straigtened, and it did wonders for me combined with my ghd straighteners, after SO long I have GREAT looking hair! I wash it everyday with Aussie shampoo and conditioner, and straighten it everyday also using my ghd's and tre semme heat protect.
But after a while, no matter what I do, the ends look frizzy and unhealthy and its REALLY starting to annoy me! I get them cut off every four weeks, but they keep coming back!
I refuse to stop straighteneing it everyday, because I have so much more confidence with my new hair now that its straight and styled, I have done everything I can, even the heat protect spray!

HELP!!!

you are frying your hair. give it a break. if you don't stop frying it everyday your hair ite fall off or become very very unhealthy.

you might just be more comfortable around guys. i am kinda the same way. when i was in elementary school, girls thought guys were groos, i was hanging out with them. most of my best friends are guys. some girls mite not like you b/c they want to be close to boys like you.

Q: Alright, first some background info. Im 16 and im a virgin, never done anything sexual with a guy. Ok now..my period is a week late for some reason and my mom is freaking out and asking me if ive gotten it like every 2 or 3 hours. Recently i have really cut back on like really fatty food, ive started running about a mile and half 2 or 3 times a week, and i started a job..which is a bit stressfull at times. Those things can make it come late right? Ive also felt like ive been going to get it, sore boobs, wicked bad cramps, headache that wont go away no matter if i take tylenol or not. I want to stop freaking out...so if you guy know anything that can help me out or at least help me chill my mom out..that would be fabulous. Thanks in advance.

all the new exercise work outs and the stressful job have probably messed with your cycle.

Q: hey i'm funny and i'm hot but all gurls think of me as a friend how could i change to make gurls like me as a b/f?

First of all, you can never make a girl like you. they have to like you on your own. everyone thinks of me as a friend of sister so i can see where your comin from. maybe you could show them that you wanna be more or tell her that. this way she knows ou wanna be more than friends. if you need more help drop another one in my inbox or im me on aim at maepela321.

Q: This may be a little long...Sorry.. but i really need to know what was meant... So.. The other night I was at my boyfriends house we were laying in bed watching a movie... and his friend showed up... and then his brother came in and was watching the movie with us... Well then they all started talking about getting their new cars.. well my boyfriend and his friend.. and his friend said that him and my boyfriend could pick up chicks.... well my boyfriend was like no way.. Ive got mine right here... and put his arm around me... well then his brother said that all Kevin (my boyfriend) would have to do was have me with him to pick up chicks.... So my question is... Was he saying that I'm Hot... Or was he saying that I was like a lesbian or something... I was really confused by what he said..

he was complimenting you. you should feel flattered.

i think if he could support you, have somewhere for you to live, and if you fell comfortable... go for it. it would be perfectly fine if you are scared about it. if you need more help drop one in my inbox or e-mail me at baby_girl3895@yahoo.com.

you could wash your hair more often and use maybe an oil free shampoo.

Q: idk how to scrunch hair! i really lik how it looks i need to kno what product(s) work best and whats the best way to do it...
gracias

garnier nutrisse curl construct works the best for scrunching hair.
the best way to do it is to put the mousse in your hair when its wet or damp. then you take your hair and push it up while squeezing it. once you think you're done doing that, let your hair dry. if you want you could pull bak part of it.

Q: I have been in a fight with my best friend for about a week and I have no idea what to do to make us friends again. The fight was over a really stupid reason. She used to have me change her myspace because she didn't know how to do the colors or anything. Well, I haven't really looked at it in a while since she wasn't allowed to go on it anymore. She claims about a month ago she went on and fixed it the way she liked and that I changed it. So she's being seriously retarded about it and won't forgive me. So what should I do? Don't say forget about her she's an idiot (I know she is already) because I don't want to end our friendship over this.

Maybe you could tell her that even though you didnt do it that your sorry about what happened. Then you could go on to tell her that you would still like to be friends with her because you dont wont to lose her.
