Also.. cuddling?

You can go to wherever fragrance is sold like at a department store (Macy's, Nordstrom's, etc) and ask them to show you the strongest perfumes.

Examples:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Famous_Perfumes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_celebrity_endorsed_perfumes

You an keep re-spraying your perfume. Keep a small bottle of it in your purse. They sell small bottles or you can buy an empty spray bottle from the Dollar Store. Don't forget to best make use of a perfume by spraying it on right after you get out of the shower on your pulse points (wrists, neck) or clothes. You can also rub on unscented lotion there and then spray on the perfume. If you stop smelling the scent after a while that can also mean you got used to the smell.

Here's the order:
Up to down. Body sprays like at Victoria's Secret are the least strong.
Eau Fraiche (Usually 3% or less perfume oil)
Eau de cologne (2 - 5% perfume oil)
Eau de Toilette (4 - 10% perfume oil)
Eau de parfum (8 - 15% perfume oil)
Soie de Parfum (15 - 18% perfume oil)
PARFUM or Perfume (15 - 25% -- also sometimes referred to as extract or extrait)
Perfume oil (15-30% perfume oil in an oil rather than alcohol base)

"There are several categories of fragrances today: perfume [parfum] is at the top, followed by eau de parfum, eau de toilette, and eau de cologne [and body sprays], each containing a lesser degree of aromatic oils, respectively. The lower the concentration of aromatic compounds, the shorter the scent life", quoted from wisegeek.com. Lasting power depends on which kind of scent you buy.

This is from another site:

"In Men's fragrances, what is the difference between an Aftershave, Eau de Toilette, and Cologne?

They are completely different things, although many men, unknowingly use them interchangeably.

An Aftershave contains less perfume oil (around (1%-3%), therefore the scent isn't as long lasting as an Eau de Toilette. Many aftershaves contain soothing and cooling ingredients, such as Aloe Vera. This helps soothe the skin after a shave . The alcohol contained will also close skin pores opened by the hot water from your shave. Aftershave will only last for about 2-3 hours so, it isn't effective if you want your fragrance to last all evening.

An Eau de Toilette contains more perfume oil than the Aftershave, typically around 4%-8%. However EDT's contain too much oil to be put on the face, especially after shaving. You will probably come up all red and blotchy as a result. An Eau de Cologne will contain 2%-5%. Therefore, an Eau de Cologne should be a lighter and not so longer lasting fragrance.

However in the world of Men's Fragrance, the definitions have become slightly blurred. A lot of the time, a fragrance house will call an Eau de Toilette strength fragrance, a Cologne. Nine times out of ten, in men's fragrance a Cologne will be of EDT strength. There are a few houses which use the correct term, (Guerlain for example).

Eau de Toilette should be put on the 'pulse points'. These are the area's where the veins are near the skins surface and you can feel a pulse (ie. Neck, Wrist, Chest... ) which will last longer. Because of the higher perfume content, Eau de Toilette lasts much longer than an Aftershave (around 6-8 hours) so its ideal if you want your fragrance to last all evening.

It is a common misconception that an Eau de Toilette is weaker than an Aftershave. Probably because the 'Eau' part of the name makes people think it is watered down Aftershave. Or it could be that people are used to the fact that an Eau de toilette is generally the weakest strength in Ladies Fragrance.

As EDT contains more perfume than the Aftershave, you will find that they are more expensive.

Some people will ask "Which shall I buy? EDT or Aftershave?". It depends on your needs. If you are wanting a lasting fragrance, go for the EDT. Many men like Aftershave to put on after they have shaved & then spray on a little EDT. It is mostly up to you as to what you perfer to use.

As well as Aftershaves, Eau de Toilettes and Eau de Colognes, there are two other main fragrance strength categories. These are Eau de Parfum and Parfum (or Perfume)

A Parfum or Perfume is quite rare in Men's fragrance. A perfume contains 15%-30% Perfume Oil (the rest is alcohol). You'll only need a very tiny amount at the pulse points but it lasts for ages. Very expensive though.

An Eau de Parfum is 'The next one up' from an Eau de Toilette. They are useful for men, who find that their fragrance doesn't last or just would like a stronger strength. They contain 8%-15% of the perfume oil, and these can last pretty much all day.
The Eau de Parfum is fairly rare in Men's fragrance, but not as rare as the pure perfume. Givenchy does one in their Pi range, as does Yves Saint Laurent in the Opium Homme range.

You can also get Men's body splashes and sprays, in which the strength can vary quite a bit, typically 1%-4%."

From Wikipedia:

# Perfume extract: 20%-40% aromatic compounds
# Eau de parfum: 10-30% aromatic compounds
# Eau de toilette: 5-20% aromatic compounds
# Eau de cologne: 2-5% aromatic compounds

Somewhere else says that (paraphrased) Parfum is the most concentrated but is rarely sold in most department stores.

You can begin with small talk then when you suddenly think of good topics to discuss, go for it. Or wear/bring a conversation piece with history and begin talking about it like the bracelet your grandma made you or something, haha sorry that's the first example I could think of. Then they will perhaps share something about themselves similar to your anecdote. Or notice something about them like if they have a tattoo ask about it. You could start off with current event and news. Or innocent gossiping about other people at the party. Or start off with a compliment, that always works. You don't have to be the one to always keep the convo going. Yes, ask them open-ended questions about themselves. Come up with a list purposefully for theses kinds of situations beforehand. Like in party situations, you could ask them how they know the host? or how they are enjoying the party depending on the party. Make comments about food or other people or whatever. Open up with "this party is great, isn't it?" Or a funny observation about the party which will make them laugh. Then introduce yourself. That will be relevant. Or you can be completely random which is always funny too. Nothing wrong with just going up to a random guy and striking up a conversation about pizza. He will probably take you as spontaneous and hilarious and different from the rest of the girls in the crowd. Just be yourself. Or just start talking about the food served at the party and transition into pizza somehow. Walk around the party dancing until you come up with something good to talk about.

That's secretly my wish too..


=] Does this Christmas song sound familiar?



"Santa, Can You Hear Me?"

Ooh yeah
Last night I took a walk in the snow
Couples holding hands, places to go
Seems like everyone but me is in love
Santa, can you hear me?

I sign my letter that I sealed with a kiss
I send it off and just said this
I know exactly what I want this year
Santa, can you hear me?

I want my baby, baby
I want someone to love me someone to hold
Maybe, Maybe
Be all my own in a big red bow
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is here
He's all I want just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa that's my only wish this year.

Christmas Eve, I just can't sleep.
Will I be wrong for taking a peek?
Cause that I heard that you're coming to town.
Santa, can you hear me?
I really that hope you're on your way,
with Something special for me in your sleigh.
Ooh please make my wish come true
Santa, can you hear me ?

I want my baby, baby
I want someone to love me someone to hold
Maybe, Maybe
we'll be all alone under the mistletoe
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is here
He's all I want just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa that's my only wish this year

I hope my letter reaches you in time
woooo yeah
Bring me a love that I can call all mine
Cause I have been so good this year
Can't be alone under the mistletoe
he's all i want in a big red bow

Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is here
He's all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa, that's my only wish this year

Ooh Santa
Can you hear me?
ooh Santa
Well he's all I want just for me
underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here..
Santa, that's my only wish this year
Santa, that's my only wish this year

There's nothing wrong with asking. Definitely get her opinion on whether she would like to be a part of the Secret Santa process. If she minds she would just say no. I mean, I'm not any religion and I celebrate other people's for fun. I love being a part of different cultures. It wouldn't be betraying her own if she participated.

You could write "Happy Holidays!" on the card without being specific as to Hanukkah or Christmas. I think that would be a good alternative.

You can only read the wall of someone you are either friends with or someone who made their profile public in your network. Like if your school was Advicenators High, and the guy went to Alligators High, and you guys weren't friends you won't be able to see his profile, including his wall. Or if you both went to Advicenators High and he made his profile private you still can't see his wall/profile. Hope that made sense. So you can't read the guy's and your girlfriend's wall-to-wall with each other because you'd have to be able to see both of their profiles.

Definitely take the advice of the Advicenator below. If you want, you could always put stickers over the smoking part in the yearbook. Or cross it out and tell people to write you a new message, if you so desire. I do not think what your teacher said was very funny and actually, that sounds kind of like harassment too. He should have taken the hint when you did not laugh along to his words. High school is a time to grow up. If it bothers you that much, take this as a learning experience and try to solve it. However, know that sometimes you may just have to suck it up. I do not think they meant to offend you in any way. People have different senses of humor and they should be more careful of what they say because it may hurt some people.

Yes it is bullying. I'm also shy. One time I was at my brother's locker retrieving my personal items and this guy in a group of girls started throwing bottles and trash on the floor at me. He was two years lower than me and I didn't even know him. I ignored them and walked away. I really wanted to cry too. People sometimes just do mean things. You have to keep your head up and walk away. Do not let him get to you. He is not worth your time. People are bored with their own sad lives and have nothing better to do than to ruin other people's. As long as you do not react back they should stop. Talking to other people helps the best. Discuss this with friends, in a diary, family, or even your guidance counselor, whoever you feel comfortable talking to. If it helps, scream into a pillow and shed some tears. Crying is not a form of weakness. It also relieves stress. I hope you feel better.

You could always tape or video record your interactions with your dad or brother for evidence. What you can do is spend more time in another environment if you feel that moving is definitely not for you. What I mean is if you do not really have a curfew and you're not grounded, spend your time out of school somewhere else like the library, or partake in school activities so you won't have to be home as often. Do homework at your best friend or boyfriend's house. Or have them come over. If they do your brother and father will probably be on good behavior so you do not have to suffer for that while. However, you still have several years of high school ahead of you so it may be best to take action now or else the abuse will just get worse. Good luck with everything.

Watch Grindhouse (the movie), the Death Proof part, or just find a clip on YouTube. There is a really good lap dance scene in that you can mimic. Carmen Electra also has good exercise DVDs out that are pretty uhhh lol lapdance-y and not quite exercise-y which are also good for you to look at and practice from.

The first Advicenator said to take photographs of more appealing subjects but that is not necessary. If you can take a boring subject and somehow end up with an awesome photo, that is skill right there. To make a photograph more exciting, you can shoot from different angles, for example. Are you taking photography class? Try shooting in black and white first and learn all the rules of photography before breaking them. Practice makes perfect!

I like the second photograph a lot. It would be cool if there was something written on the board as well. The leaf one is cool too because the grey gravel contrasts with the colorful leaf. The leaf is interesting because it's not perfect. The eye can still move around and find something new to look at.

Even better, handwrite your letters with a fountain pen! Coffee will work too, not just tea. Also, crumple the paper for wrinkles. You can also burn the edges and maybe rip a little of the corners off so it looks like some wear and tear went on.

Such an adorable song! It's a song meant for yoga actually haha.

"Colors" by Kira Willey

"I am green today
I chirp with joy like a cricket song.
I am gray today
Gloomy and down like a morning fog.
I am orange today
Loud and messy like finger paint on the wall.
I am red today
Hopping mad like a playground ball.
I am black today
Strong and tall a great big bear.
I am purple today
Bright and happy like a butterfly in the air.

I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world are in me.

I am yellow today
I shine my light out like the sun.
I am white today
Soft and quite like new snow.
I am blue today
Calm as glass and cool like the sea.

I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world are in me.
All the colors of the world are in me."

Well, the advicenator below did not mention that when they come back inside there can be like a smoke cloud around them and they do bring some smoke inside the house so you do get effects of second-hand smoke even still as the smell clings to the smoker's hair and clothes. When they breathe back out inside the house that doesn't help either. Smoke can stay for 2 weeks..
