Sima's advice column

It's normal for periods to be very irregular. I'm just about finished with mine, and I got it about 2 weeks ago. 2 months before that, I had my period. It varies, and it won't regulate until you're out of your teen years [usually]. Don't worry.

Replace (song name) with the song name. Delete the parentheses. If you don't find results, try including the artists name too.

I have really bright, blue eyes. I was wonderin if anyone has any tips or knows of any websites that have makeup tips on how to really play them up, so they're really noticeable.

Another way to make your eyes pop, is to put a little white eyeliner on the inner corners of your eyes.

A couple of days ago, I asked a question about how to get youtube songs on an iPod. And someone said something about zamzar. Well, my only problem is, I don't quite know what the URL is. Can someone please tell me where the URL is on youtube? thanks!

i have to pack my lunch every day this month because i forgot to fill out my lunch order form and im so tired of basic peanut butter sandwiches!! i dont like lots of flavors cause when it comes to food im pretty simple but i was wondering what are some fun, healthy, tasty, and easy things for me to make for lunch? i have acess to a microwave at school too. thanks so much!!! :)

I love the ideas that Rosalina posted, and since you said that your school has a microwave, you should consider frozen dinners.

They have pizza, fettucini, turkey wraps, chicken wraps, manicotti [dough 'tortillas' filled with ricotta cheese], fried chicken, and they're all healthy. Look for Healthy Choice [in the green box], or Lean Cuisine. They will be in your frozen foods section. They range from about $1.79-$2.30 a box, but the food is VERY tasty, and healthy/tasty/low in calories & fat.

I recently got a job at a grocery store. I need shoes. The shirt is blue, and then we wear black pants or khaki. Any ideas? It can't be clogs or high heals, and it must be white or brown. I'm a sixteen year old girl, by the way. Pictures would be great, as well as where I could get them. Thanks :)

What you need are flats with non-skid soles, in case there was a spill, and it prevents you from sliding.

If you zoom in, you'll notice that the sole is grooved, which helps prevent skidding.

Look for those types of shoes, anything with a good, sturdy sole will work.

Just wondering if hospitals do abortions?

Yes.

However,you should consider Planned Parenthood. It will probably be cheaper, too.

So I'll keep it short this time. Me and my Boyfriend (both virgins) had sex for the first time this weekend (and a few more times after that) and we did expect it to be, well, less than average! Of course it was, and only lasted about 1 - 3 minutes. We did it three times, and I know lasting longer comes with time and practice (hence why we were practicing!), but I was also wondering, as a matter of interest, if for some people it never gets longer than that period of time? Like I know some people last an hour or so! Is it just not possible for some people?

:)
thank you very much :)

Yes, especially since both of you are new to sex, it is very normal for you guys not to last long enough. This happens to almost everyone, even those who are 'experienced'.

does leave in moisturizer weigh down hair?

Not unless it is spread evenly throughout your hair.

Spritz it ALL over your hair, underneath as well.

Take a comb/brush, and lightly brush through to get the moisturizer all the way through.

Keyword: SPRITZ.

Don't dump the whole bottle on your head (not literally, but you know what I mean).

So I am graduating soon and im debating if i should go to community and get all my classes finished or should i go to fashion school? I want to do both and can't choose. The fashion one would be more fun probaly and more money. But, The community one would be less money, I would get those classes finished, and it wouldnt probaly be as exciting as fashion school. BTW, does anyone know good colleges to apply to in getting the degrees done for sports medicine? Thanks and Good luck to all your futures!

I would definitely go with Sports Medicine.

I think that it seems more realistic than fashion. I think we have more than enough fashion designers in the world, but we are always in need of Sports Medicine doctors mainly because of the many athletes getting hurt every day.

Your high school should have some classes pertaining to Sports Medicine. Talk with your counselor.

is it damaging to blow dry hair with cold air?

Not as much as it would to blow dry your hair with the 'hot' setting on.

Also, try not to wash your hair every day or you will strip your hair of it's natural oils.

okay so im kinda in a rut and i was just wondering, can you guys give me advice on why its important to be grateful for everything you have? also can you give me some examples of where youve personally had to believe that. also, people always say to me every experience has a silver lining. any thoughts? also...what do you really believe in? and why? like...i believe that you should always treat others the way you would like to be treated. what do you think? any thoughts would be appreciated. im going through a hard time right now and i just need some advice on beliefs and values. thank you for your time.

You know, all of my life I admit that I've taken things for granted. You know the old saying 'you don't know what you've got til it's gone'. I think that the saying kind of applies to my situation right now. My grandpa suffers from lung cancer and has been very close to passing. I admit that I should take just even 5 minutes to call him and ask him how he's doing. I was very spoiled when I was young, but who wasn't? I'm slowly starting to realize that the things that I've received came with strings attached. It's a bit hard to explain, but it's an interesting feeling. I'm a strong believer in everything happening for a reason and basing past experiences when making choices. It's just the way that it's been at our house.

I know a lot of close-minded, biased people. It's very unusual to come across a person who's open and won't judge you. I know how it feels when you don't have someone there to listen to you, and I think that goes for a lot of people.

Anyways, back to the grateful subject, yes, I am extremely grateful to have a wonderful [and big] family to support me. I can't express how much they've put me through, but how they've helped me out of some tough situations. The same goes for my friends. My friends are more of the open minded type, and it's great to have that support group behind you. I thank God every day that my family is healthy. Just the other day, I was at Pizza Hut with a few friends, and a couple and their 2 kids came in. One of their kids had Down Syndrome, and was disabled. I was on the verge of crying, and I really didn't know why at first. I now realize that it was because I'm glad that the kids in my family weren't suffering of anything such as. That might sound a little conceited, and believe me, sometimes we are stuck with those situations where we need to fight hard and work to get out of them. I hold very strong morals, and I have a lot of respect for my elders, which is a bit unusual for some teens my age. I'm the way that I am from, guess what, my past experiences. My experiences are what shaped me to be the person that I am today.

Message me if you need anything else. I'd be happy to help.

did not know what to put under. So, is it wierd, common, or possible at all for women that are pregnant, or after they have the baby, and their breasts are filled up with milk, for their husband to suck on their breasts to?
Maybe as a turn on?

Well, this is the first time that I've heard of that. I consider it weird.. which is just my opinion. I'm not one who is into kinky stuff. So, whatever the woman's personal choice is.

My face gets really dry ad flakey. What is a really good moisterizer that will keep my face moisterized all day?

Blistex would be the best, mainly because it doesn't have a fragrance, and moisturizers with fragrances tend to not last longer.

im looking at an architecture school in San Diego, CA. and i was wondering if there was anybody who lives in San Diego and knows about life in the area. like crime, earth quakes quality of the housing. mainly in the art district.

thanks

I've been to San Diego plenty of times, and most of the time, I've been by La Jolla/Coronado beach area, but I've been around the art district a couple of times.

The crime in San Diego is not as high as it is in LA, but there is a little bit of crime that still goes on. Life in that area is great, the weather is wonderful, and there's just a lot of things that you can do. You will see a lot of Hispanic people. Huge earthquakes are not very common, there will be some smaller ones. The room will start to shake a little, and you'll definitely feel it. It's nothing major though. Center Cali is where most of the Earthquakes occur. The mortgage of homes are VERY expensive. A house here in the Midwest for about $100,000 would be $350,000 there.

If you are really looking forward to going to that school in San Diego, I say go for it, if you are up for some hard work. I would say that SD is more of a vacation spot than a living space for 1 person.

wat are some fun things to do for a sweet sixteen, when you have about 6 girls over, and you can't leave the house??
besides renting a movie

How about a mini spa?

Set up a facial station, a manicure/pedicure station, and a makeup station.

http://www.stretcher.com/stories/980423b.cfm

That site gives you some ideas for natural, homemade facials using egg whites.

Find some cheap nail polish at Walmart [not too cheap though, so that the quality is still decent]. Get a variety of colors. Go for neutral colors for the nails, and maybe brighter colors for the pedicure. That's just an idea, you can go for whatever you prefer.

http://www.essortment.com/homepedicure_rsyy.htm

That's a link for how to assemble your own at-home pedicure.

You could also put on a chick flick [How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, for example], and have out mini 'buffet' of candy [Sour Patch Kids, M&M's, Skittles, have a variety], popcorn, ect. while everyone is getting their own mini makeover.

For the makeup station, I would suggest getting some new, [but cheap] makeup [eyeshadow, lipgloss]. If you used your own makeup, you'd put the girls up for bacteria that's on your own makeup being transferred to their skin. [it puts them up for a risk of infection due to bacteria, or zits. And NO girl likes zits, obviously]. :)

I hope that helped, message me for more help.

how I have skinner cheeck?

Another way to decrease the size of your cheeks is to drink more water, and to avoid too much sodium. Sodium causes bloating, which causes your cheeks to inflate (in size).
