about

Hey! My name is Stacee. && this, obviously, is my advice column. I love all of my friends & famm and I love chocolate! Umm, well my favorite shows are Gilmore Girls && Wildfire. My fave. movie is How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I absolutely love-love-love JENNIFER ANISTON & yep, you guessed it: can't STAND Angelina!

My friends are pretty much my life.. Movies, dances, parties, shopping, w/e.. we're pretty much together.

I guess you could describe me as a girly-girl. But this doesn't mean I'm like an all-over-pink Legally Blonde kinda gal.. I still love to shop @ places like Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, PacSun, Delia's & AERO. And yes, I do wear my short-sleeve AERO tees in the dead of winter. My dad finds this quite strange, but what can I say? It's style.

One of the most amazing book series I've read in my life was the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series. Cheesy title? Maybe. But, the story was just incredible.. I can't even describe it to you. Plus, it would probably take me forever and you'd totally not read it so in the end it would be pointless.

That's enough about me, let's get to the ADVICE. Cut to the chase here. :D I'm really awesome at HTML & coding. I love giving fashion tips and I'm a total babysitting pro. (Maybe not a pro, but I give cool advice, right?) So just drop a question in my inbox and I'll reply ASAP! Thanks.

advice

im 14/f and i have alot of guy friends and also girls friends but i dont know how to ask my mom if i can hangout with my guys friends im always afraid she gunna say no what should i do?

Hmm.. well, first of all, DON'T lie to her about having guy friends. Then, she may become suspicious. Ask her to understand that the guys are equally your friends as the girls.. nothin romantic going on between you, but you just like to hang out. Let her know that by excluding them, you're excluding your FRIENDS. Make sure she's comfortable before you all start hanging out though, because if she finds out, you may be in more trouble.

--Good luck! :D

do herbs really work? if they do which ones help with anxiety attacks or over-worrying

Herbs are very soothing and often calm our body systems. Personally, I think they work really well. Here are some that I would recommend for anxiety attacks:
Herbs known as adaptogens, such as ginseng, (Panax ginseng), wild yam (Dioscorea villosa), borage (Borago officinalis), licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), milk thistle (Silybum marianum), and nettle (Urtica dioica) may help to alleviate anxiety attacks. Other herbs that may be helpful include:

Chamomile: (Matricaria chamomilla) This herb is often associated with relaxation. It may be helpful in reducing anxiety.

Kava: (Piper methysticum) Kava is helpful for mild anxiety.

St John's Wort: (Hypericum perforatum) St John's Wort has been used for many years to help promote an overall sense of well being and reduce stress and anxiety.

Supplements: As with herbs, check with your health care provider before introducing any new supplements to your diet.

5-HTP: (5-hydroxytryptophan) This supplement is a mood lifter that may help to promote restful sleep and decrease anxiety.

Inositol: Inositol may be helpful in decreasing anxiety with long term use.

okay ive died my hair like 4 times in the last 3 months and my hair is kinnda unhealthy like i put stuff in it about once every 2 weeks and i do straighten it. what can i do to make it more soft and healthy?(dont say dont straighten it because i have to)

I would recommend purchasing some shampoo/conditioner for Dry or Damaged hair. It will replenish the oils in your hair and make it moist again.

hey guys does is limewire bad for your computer?! im really scared because i just downloaded it and my dad will KILL me if i mess up the comp. should i just download all my songs now and then delete limewire? ahah. and how do i get them to my iPod? thankss

Well, it is a rumor that Limewire DOES give you viruses, plus it is illegal and probably not as certified as iTunes.

I would recommend that you remove the program from your computer, especially if your dad is mad about it. I'm not really sure how to get the songs onto the iPod though.. srry.

--Good luck!

My eyebrows are over-plucked and I do not know what to do with them. Only stray hairs below the main eyebrow are left and those I pluck, but the areas that I need hair to grow back at, it isn't! I've tried using an eyebrow pencil, but it always turns out looking creepy, overdone, and fake. So what products are out there that I can use to make my over plucked eyebrows look less severe and more natural?

Well, you can fill in the gaps to make them look even with simply an eyebrow pencil that matches the color of your eyebrow hairs. I would recommend to do that until you see that the hairs grow back and then either try to shape them evenly by yourself or have them professionally waxed at a salon. This should only take about 9-10 days, two weeks maximum.
--Good luck!

this may sound weird but i want my teeth white
and i was wondering what toothpaste you use and if it works! thanks i rate 5's

Crest White Strips, as I've heard, are pretty professional & work well.
My dentist recomended that I used the "Colgate/Crest Baking Soda & Peroxide" toothpaste. I did & it really worked! I'd definitely recommend it for you.

ok i was using this little electronic razor thingy to comb out my eyebrows so theyll look neat. The thing was off. I was doign it for a while and then i wasnt paying attention and accidently turned it on WHILE IT WAS ON MY EYEBROW now theres a lil blank spot it the middle of my eyebrow- is there any way i can cover it up? please help a.s.a.p ♥anonymous

You should get an eyebrow pencil that matches the color of your eyebrow hairs-- be careful! You don't want to get a different color.

The eyebrow should take two weeks maximum to grow back. Be sure to remove the eyebrow makeup before you go to bed, you don't want to break out!
--Good luck.

Everybody is good at something right? WRONG.i suck at almost evrything. I dont't have any hobbies, im not in any clubs, sprots, or anything. I'm okay at some stuff and i can speak/read/write fluent polish, but that pretty much it. I'm so scraed about my future. I don't know what i want to do in college or high school or ANYTHING. I'm scared i won't be able to support myself as an adult and i will be a boring person with no hobbies or anything.

Everyone has a talent. Some discover their talent earlier in life, and for others it takes much longer to discover it, maybe even half of their lives. Never be down on yourself because you too actually have a special gift or skill, and maybe you just haven't recognized it yet.

i need to know what is the best hair dye to use..
thanks

L'Oreal normally has the best results..

Never use the products that you can "wash out" of your hair because oftentimes you expect it to be temporary but it actually takes a much longer period of time for the dye to completely come out of your hair.

hey there!
im a girl scout and im at the point where i have to start thinking of ideas for my gold award. for those of you who dont know what the gold award is .. its a project that takes 65 hrs to complete(including planing, and actually doing it). it needs to benefit the community in some way. does anyone have anyideas what i could do?

p.s. the people participating are going to need some kind of motivation to do this.

That's a really nice thing that you're doing! I used to be a girl scout & we just stuck to cookies but I admire your looking for help on ways to take part in community service. Here are some ideas--
1) Possibly shoveling snow [depending on where you live] for your neighbors.
2) Visting a local nursing home or shut-in to spend time with the senior citizens or others living there.
3) Clean the local Church.
4) Send cards to your local hospital.
5) Send thank-you notes to service workers in your community [ie. firemen, policemen, librarians, etc.]. Your effort on the card takes time & should count towards your hours!
6) Help out at your local library with the organizing and categorizing.
7) Collect donations to go towards your township.

I hope I was of help & good luck with this project!

what kinds of things should i put in the card to my bf?

-quotes
-lyrics
-something to actually SAY to him.. i really have no clue..
anything is appreciated.

I don't want any chocolate or
cards or roses, alL i waNt for
Valentines day is
:: Y O U ::

*I think that quote is simply adorable.. it makes your bf feel like he's more important than all of those other silly v-day material things. Also, think of his favorite song. Maybe include one of the verses that involves love? It'd be even better if it was a song that both of you liked! Good luck! :D

Hi everyone,

My hair is somewhat dry and has split ends at the end of my hair. I straighten it almost every day because if I dont I become a giant ball of frizz and hideous waves. Does anyone know of any products that could help me moisturize my hair and conceal split ends? I heard Biosilk is very good. I'm trying to avoid cutting my hair since I want to grow it long for the summer.

Thank you =)
Jacki

YOUR STORY iS JUST LIKE MY HAIR ISSUES!

I too straighten my hair every day, but it's NOT good for your hair. You're damaging it and your hair is going to be extremely dry when you get older, so it's really not good.

Here's a product that is good for straightening that eliminates the use of a flat iron:

Also, because of your dry hair, you should begin to use special shampoo. You don't have to spend a load of money, but next time you go to the salon, pick out a shampoo & conditioner for "Dry and Damaged Hair". There are a variety of shampoos for all hair types and that kind should add moisture to your hair.

GOOD LUCK! :] *please rate*

My best friend snt me an e-mail telling me she doesnt want to be my friend anymore i asked why and she cursed me out! its been 8 months and we sometimes talk.. aquaintences. Later i found out she didnt want to be my friend anymore cus she felt like i was replacing her with my new friend elise. i need my best friend back!

Well, if she's a best friend, think to yourself: Do best friends leave eachother?

I'm nervous this is going to happen to ME because me & my best friend are having a problem.. a big one. But, what YOU need to do is talk to this girl and ask her if you two can have a mature conversation. Ask if she will listen. Then, proceed to say how you don't understand while the whole destruction of your friendship was necessary & how much you enjoyed her just as equally as you did Elise. Maybe then, she will come around.

GOOD LUCK! :D

ok i am 13/f and i have dark circles under my eyes they aren't really really bad but i was wondering is there any way to get rid of them without using make up

Here's a suggestion that my aunt gave to me because I have the same problem; It really worked!

Slice a piece of cucumber and then split that in half. Place under your eyes for 10-15 minutes in the morning before school.

i'm looking to tone my arms and legs. but all i have at home is 5 pound weights, an eliptical, and a treadmill. how many minutes should i do each, or like how many crunches/pushups/stretches should i do daily?

Well, if you're looking to tone your arms & legs, I recommend the basic aerobic exercises. Aerobic exercises include: walking, jogging, jumping rope, bicycling (stationary or outdoor), cross-country skiing, skating, rowing, high or low-impact aerobics, swimming and water aerobics.

In general, to achieve maximum benefits, you should gradually work up to an aerobic session lasting 20 to 30 minutes, at least three to four times a week. Exercising at least every other day will help you keep a regular aerobic exercise schedule.

You should begin with a warm up, then start the work out & then end with a cool-down. Various tools to use are probably the weights you already own, but gradually you should increase the weight of the instruments you're using as you move on.

Good luck! :)

I want to start babysitting, but i don't know anyone who is willing enough to let me.

I need some money to save up for something.
My Cousin is due in 2 weeks!! When her baby is older, should i help her?

-needs some money

Well, babysitting a baby is a VERY big responsibilty. As much as you think babies just eat & sleep, they also have to have their diapers changed, be "burped", carried around & tended to, put to sleep, & they cry a lot. Babies are awesome!, but they're a big thing to take on if you're just starting babysitting.

I would recommend that you possibly take a babysitting course at one of your local hospitals or a Red Cross Training Course. Contact the hospital for more info. Here, you can learn all the important safety tips and skills for babysitting, especially for babies/infants.

Good luck & I hope I was of help!
