Hello! I am studying esthetics at an Aveda Institute after spending years in retail. I am proof that nothing turns out how you think it will, and that's a good thing. When you think you've got it figured out, you don't. Life would be boring otherwise, right?
Makeup, skincare, and psychology are my passions and I'm also happy to give advice on relationships, particularly for teenagers (so many things I wish I could have told myself a decade ago!) I'm happy to help fellow abuse survivors as well.
I'm a diehard SF Giants fan and also enjoy watching the Sharks and Niners. Addicted to music, especially The Gaslight Anthem. Oh, and my name is Krista. :)

I really like this guy at school and so I got my friend to ask him out for me today because I'm way too shy to make the first move. He actually told my friend that he wouldn't date me because I look like Isabelle Karo or whatever. I don't know who this chick is and neither does my friend but, obviously, she must not be very pretty or something. Can somebody tell me about her or show me a picture so I know what I can change to make him think I'm hot? I don't want to search Google or whatever and get confused with different people. Whoever this girl is I guess she must be famous since she thought my friend would know here. There isn't any Isabelle in my school that either of us know about.

Some straight info please?

He was being mean and saying you're too skinny...I googled it and she's someone who suffers from an extreme case of anorexia nervosa:

He sounds like a real jerk, you're better off finding someone else.

My bf and I have been going out 7 months and things have been great overall. However, on our last date, I just wasn't turned on. I hardly even wanted to cuddle. I have only been on the pill for a month, so maybe this could be a side effect? and I definitely overate at dinner, but I don't know whether that could have had any effect either. Was this just a one-time thing or could it be a symptom of a deeper problem?

There's no way to tell until you go out a few more times and see if it keeps happening. You can look up side effects for your birth control, though.

Ok me and my boyfriend just had sex 2 weeks ago and I don't get my period till next week. We didn't use protection and he cummed inside of me. When he told me he did I ran to the bathroom and tried to clean it out because I got scared. Can I end up pregnant? Please help me because I am really scared!

Yes, there is a very big chance that you are pregnant. Cum has millions of sperm cells in it, and it only takes one to get you pregnant. Please learn your lesson from this and don't have sex unprotected again- use condoms, get on birth control, or both. If the condom breaks or you miss a pill, get the morning after pill, although it's too late for that now. The only thing you can do is wait, you can't take a pregnancy test until you miss your period. In the mean time, I know it sounds impossible, but try not to stress about it, because stress can delay your period.

18, male. Me and my girlfriend of 10 months broke up about a month ago. Ever since, i'v been rebounding trying to get over her. Lately i'v been feeling better, and this weekend I had sex with another girl. But tonight I went and hung out with my ex. Things went perfect, and we both clearly miss each other and could without a doubt get back together after prom. Except, like I said, I had sex with someone else. Should I tell her, or just get back with her and live a lie? And if I tell her, how should I do it? =/ Thanks a lot to whoever can help me out here.

If she asks, yes, otherwise, no way. It'll just destroy the relationship, because she won't be able to trust you. There are some things you should just keep to yourself, and what you did when you were single is one of those things.

There's no way that a stranger online can answer this for you, the only thing you can do is ask him.

I love my boyfriend and we have unprotected sex all the time. Hes ready for, and wants children but we are not married yet, and I am completely not ready to have kids right now. I want to finish college first. So every time we have sex, he never finishes inside of me because I don't want him to. I should be on birth control but I do not have insurance right now and cannot afford it! Problem is I know he really wants to finish inside of me and I want him to especially in the moment because it is such an intimate, close feeling, I just don't want to get pregnant. Anything I can do? We hate using condoms by the way and never do. Please no lectures about that, I'm not a little kid having unprotected sex, getting pregnant would not be the end of the world I just am not ready for it at the moment.

Pulling out is extremely ineffective- about 1/3 of people who do it will become pregnant, since precum has sperm in it. If you go to Planned Parenthood, you will be able to get birth control either free (in my state, you can get it free for a year) or very cheap (around $15/month). Otherwise, chances are, you will end up pregnant.

My boyfriend turns 26 in July, and I've just thought of an idea for a portion of his birthday present. I just celebrated my birthday and he gave me exactly what I wanted, basically reading my mind.

One of my ideas for his birthday is to dress up as a sexy school girl, because that's one of his biggest fantasies. I've been able to find plaid mini skirts, I know I can find white thigh-highs on most Halloween websites and even some lingerie stores, and platform Mary Janes from Hot Topic. My biggest challenge will be finding a midriff blouse to go with the outfit. Any suggestions of where I could look for one or would I be better off finding a blouse and turning it into a midriff? I'd really like it if it was sheer.

Thanks for your help!!!

Your best bet is probably to look online. Here's one:

You could also just buy a whole set, like this:

(That website has lots of different schoolgirl costumes)

my friend keeps trying to make me drink but i dont want to. what do i do?

You are your own person, and she's not putting a gun to your head, right? So just don't if you don't want to. If she makes fun of you, that's her problem and she's not a good friend.

I'm 17/f. My boyfriend of 2 years and I are going to a concert this summer and I really want to lose my virginity to him soon, so I figured why not that night? After the concert, I was wondering how I could somehow initiate it or give him a sign that I want to have sex with him THEN? I dont want to kill the moment by discussing it beforehand because I know it'd make him AND me feel uncomfortable knowing. I want to let it happen on it's own without making it seem awkward. How do I initiate the moment?

Sorry, but if you can't talk about it, you shouldn't be doing it. You need to be able to discuss birth control and what you'd do if something happens. If you can't handle that, you're not ready. It's not going to "kill the moment". It's being mature and responsible.

My man says if I love him I will give him head, what should I do

If you want to, obviously do, if you don't want to, don't. That's an absolutely ridiculous thing for him to say and he has no right to put pressure on you like that.

I'm 15 and female...Ok, so out of all the guys I've met at my school, almost ALL are perverted. There are about 2 that i've met that are actually decent (atleast around me) and 1 has recently changed that virtue. I'm tired of it and I dont want to hear about who got laid last night, or who wants to get laid, or who did what in a school bathroom!!!! are ALL GUYS LIKE THIS??? or is it just a phase right now?

In some ways, yeah, it's a phase. As they get older, they'll grow out of it a little or at least learn to hide it better. Some will grow up, some won't.

I'm wondering if there is a tell tale sign that I can look for so I can know a guy is really close to cumming. I don't really mind giving my bf head but I hate letting him squirt in my mouth. Usually he pulls out and I use my hand to finish him off but sometimes he gets carried away and I get a mouthful.

Thanks

All you can really do is ask him to tell you.

So right now, I'm really in the mood for some movies that will just make me..well, cry.
Some movies that I absolutely adore, that make me really cry, would be Philadelphia (With Tom Hanks..I seriously sob every time I see this movie), Beaches, and Brian's Song.
So does anybody know of any movies that are just tear-jerkers?
Please don't say Titanic or anything like that, I've already seen it.
Thanks.

Depends on what kind of movie you're into (I haven't seen any of the ones you listed).

Original Sin made me cry a lot.
Romance- The Notebook, Nights in Rodanthe
500 Days of Summer

Can everybody tell me something about Junior graduation dresses? My eighth-grade graduation is coming up and I don't know what to do. I went to my older sister's graduation from high school and a graduation party seemed kind of fancy because of all the pretty dresses the girls were wearing.

Are things the same for a Junior graduation? I don't want to buy a dress this way fancier than the rest of the girls have but I don't want to look stupid either if I don't get one that is fancy enough you know what I mean?

Can anyone please tell me what their experiences were like? Thank you a bunch!

Your best bet is to ask your friends what they're wearing, because it really depends on the school.

At my school, we didn't have a big graduation ceremony, it was just called promotion. I wore a blazer and cute skirt, most girls wore similar things but a few were in dresses with sweaters.
However, I know at other schools it is a bigger deal and the girls do wear dresses.

Im Meeting my boyfriends parents and i dont have a clue what to wear.. help please?

we are staying in doors, just going to there house

Something conservative but cute. A cute shirt with a sweater, jeans, flats, and jewelry is a safe bet. Do something with your hair- straighten, curl, or half up.
Make sure your makeup is natural looking.

Here are some ideas:

If you could tell me how old you are and what kind of clothes you like/style you have that would help a lot.

ok so im 16 and my boyfriend is 17
we just had our 1 year about 2 weeks ago and everything was absolutely perfect. but about a month before that and now again im having like serious doubts because im noticing things about my boyfriend that really worry/annoy me. and it kills me because i love him with all of my heart and we have a lot of good times. my question is what is some good advice for keeping a relationship strong at this age and at this stage in the relationship.
i will appreciate anything :) thanks

That's normal, after about a year most people get to that point. It's okay to have things about him that annoy you, it doesn't mean you love him any less.
There aren't really any general tips for keeping the relationship strong, it really depends on the two of you.
