I, being a frequent sufferer of migranes, say to put a cold pack on your head (or if you don't have one, soak a paper towel in cold water and freeze it, or just directly put it on your forehead) and lie down and listen to some calm music. Take really deep breathes and concentrate on them. Take a lot of cinnamon during your day..... (not candy, real cinnamon powder) it helps regulate your levels of vitamins in your body so it doesn't get thrown out of whack, which is one reason headaches form.
I hope you get better.....I know what you're going through.

okay the problem is when i sweat and stuff my hair gets REALLY frizzy, almost like in the movies when someone gets elecricuted! it sticks up everywhere, and everyone else has perfect hair lying flat on their head while dripping with sweat, and even the slightest bit of sweat and i turn into a puff ball or something! i have soccer tryouts tonight at 4-6 and the rest of the week, and then i have a soccer tournament saturday and sunday, does anyone have some ideas on how i can tame my hair so i dont look like i've been elctricuted while i'm playing soccer?! pleeeeeease help, this has been happening forever and i am sick of it. i rate 5's for answers that arent stupid or unhelpful. ♥ (link)
|
I think the best cure for frizzy hair is a great conditioner. If you try any of the Pantene "Hydrating Curls" products, these should keep your hair down when it adds moisture, because most frizzy hair is caused by dryness.
You also might want to try an extra hold hairspray. I only use a little bit on my hair and it stays down all day no matter what. (If you use a little it doesn't make the hair feel different either.)

I wasnt exactly sure which category to put this under, but here goes...
Shaving is a BITCH! yes, yes it is. My question is:
Has anyone tried those bladeless shaving kits? do they really work? Does it last longer than shaving? does it remove ingrown hairs too, or should i just go for the wax?
yeah i know, kinda stupid, but im sick of shaving and at least dont want to walk around band camp with a bunch of nix and cuts.
thanks! (link)
|
http://dermatology.about.com/cs/hairremoval/a/hair_removal.htm
This site has a lot of the different kinds of methods of hair removal.
Bladeless shaving kits are exactly like hair removal creams with a cream remover shaped like a razor. Most products from Nair smell pretty bad, but they do the job of removing the hair pretty well.
I personally use Bic Extra-Sensitive skin razors and I haven't gotten a nick or a cut EVER with them. I use them with an extra sensitive shaving gel or a moisturizing shower cream. Even though I do not have sensitive skin, the razor is extra gentle and removes hair just as well as any other razor.

I'm petrified of the dentist and I have an appointment tomorrow. Im getting a tooth filled. Ive always been scared, but I always end up walking out saying that wasnt so bad. I realize that the only pain I will feel is the novacaine needle. Is there a way I can be less scared? I know the fear is worse than the actual procedure but Im still terrified.
(link)
|
I have had a lot of dental procedures done because of my teeth, and even though it might sound weird, concentrate on something like your favorite song or do a brain puzzle like this one-
Visualize all the rooms in your house. Now rearrange all the furniture in the house so each room is used differently.
It won't minimize the pain, but concentrating on something else always helps. Also try squeezing the arm the the dentists' chair or if you do what I do squeeze the assistant's hand. I really don't care what people think- it helps me get through it wondering how stupid people think I look. :-)
If you're getting a tooth filled, you will only get two Novacaine shots, and it really isn't bad afterwards AT ALL, so you'll be fine.
Good luck:-)

Ok, so my hair is really REALLY dark brown and i was wondering -- do yall think if i got like, auburn highlights -- would it look good?
i need suggestions -- because i dont like how dark my hair is now -- its almost black! and i want to change it up a lil bit
if you need pix go to my myspace:
www.myspace.com/baybgrl
thanks -- & i rate high 4 GOOD answers.. (link)

My friend has really dark brown hair too, and what she did was get a whole lot of highlights in different shades- she has a couple of black lowlights, some blonde highlights, and a bunch of auburn ones in the front, and it looks great.
If you just get the auburn highlights, it might stand out too much, and look too artificial...the purpose of highlights is to make your face look sunkissed and your hair to look healthy, not to make it look like you have highlights. For really dark brown hair I would suggest maybe going a few shades lighter than your hair color to highlight, instead of going far away from it- I would REALLY suggest though to try my friend's look, because it's very pretty and chic.

is there a website like makeoversolutions.com that lets you upload a picture of your self and change the color of your hair with free membership? (link)
| |
Yes, the site is on IVillage. It's called the Makeover-O-Matic, and it works very well along with a free membership.

I'm sorta chubby, and i have been invited to a pool party. anybody have anty good ideas wear to get a suite for a c36 5'5" 160pd girl?
please i really don't want to look like a fool! (link)
|
A great suit for you is either a one piece halter top or a boy short tankini. The halter gives support, and the boy shorts provide coverage.

This tells you about all different types of suits.

How do you know if a guy likes you? I'm just really confused because I really like this guy but he's not very forward and I have no clue if he likes me or not. Should I ask him out or ask him if he likes me or what. lol im confused. Thanks! (link)
|
If a guy likes you, he-
1. Goes out of his way to talk to you.
2. Seems very interested in listening to anything that you say about yourself, or anything else.
3. Defends you in front of other people
4. Acts different around you than he normally acts
5. When you see him in the hallway with his friends, he tries not to look at you but ends up doing it anyway
And if you like him, go ahead and ask him out. If he shows ANY of these five signs, he'll say yes. If you don't want to ask him out, just do all of these things. GO out of your way to talk to him about himself, seem interested in listening to him, etc. It will show him that you like him, and if he likes you back he will be less afraid.
Hope I helped, and feel free to drop an inbox on how you did! Good Luck!

Dose anyone no any cute/hott hair styles for summer? i have an oval face..if that means anything. Thanks!

Ovals look good in any hair style. Lucky you :-).
Check this site out for some oval hair styles-

ok i have a big jewish nose lol brown eyes light brown hair and a long face and not really an upper lip a tan and a slim bathing suit body. should i wear colored contacts what color. should i dye my hair blond. also what styles should i do my hair and clothes and makeup (link)
|
If you have a dark tan, DO NOT dye your hair blonde. It takes you out of your 'season.' You sound like an autumn to me- Brown hair, golden undertoned skin, and golden brown eyes. If you really want to dye your hair, consult your stylist. They will pick a perfect shade of a lighter brown, like chestnut, that is closer to the blonde you want. Don't be afraid to get blonde highlights though! Those are fine.
For colored contacts, I'd say go ahead if you don't like your eye color, but they can be irritating to your eyes, especially if a dirt particle gets in-between your eye and the lens, your eyes will be really itchy until you take the particle out (which you'd normally do by rubbing your eyes, but with contacts you'd have to take the contact out, make sure the particle is gone, then put it back in again) If you must, I'd go with a hazel-green. It is a darker toned green that would look nice in 'autumn'.
For hairstyles, check out this site-
http://www.seventeen.com/beauty/hairguide/0,,,00.html
There are a million hairstyles in there.
Clothes and makeup- just put on natural makeup, like a clear or soft toned lip gloss and some light brown sparkly eyeshadow one tone above your skin color to open your eyes, or one tone down to create a darker, mysterious look. For your clothes, just shop at stores like Abercrombie and Fitch, Aeropostale, American Eagle, and Hollister. These stores stay in style, and you can browse the sales racks for some cheaper stuff. EVERYTHING in there looks good- pick a color that compliments your eyes, or just one that you like.

i'm 15 male when this girl calls i don't know what to talk about i really like her help me !!!!!!!!! (link)
|
Just let the conversation flow.
Figure out what her interests are. If she is interested in tennis, ask her what she thinks of Serena Williams or Anna Kournikova.
According to a recent survey, the most used word on a telephone call was "I". Try asking about her instead. Ask her about her day, or what she thinks of a certain class that you guys have together. You don't need to fill in every pause that there is in a conversation- just wait until she talks or until you think you have a nice thing to talk about.
Just talk about what she likes and cares about and you'll be set.

to start off, im going to a flea market for fun with 2 guys and another girl. i know there are a ton of creeps so i really dont know what to wear. the 2 guys are punk & goth and im in between girly and rocker type style. SO should i go for a jean skort with a t shirt or my ripped jeans and a tshirt? there would be pros and cons to each...i have good legs (lol, i get told so often.) and that would drive the guys im with crazy, but im concerned about being stalked by some of the creeps. jeans...well its summer. let me know! theres no right or wrong answers! (link)
|
First of all, I would agree that creeps will stalk you in a jean skirt, especially if you look nice in one. The pro is that it is a skort, but it would be better for you to just wear plain old shorts.
Your jeans are going to overheat you if it is summer. Personally, it depends- if you are prone to overheating, like if your hair is black or a really dark brown, just risk the skort. It will give a chance for your guys to protect you :-).
If you are light skinned and don't overheat easily, try just wearing capris. They won't cause problems and they won't overheat you.
From the outfits you've picked yourself, I tentatively suggest the skort over the jeans, but I highly suggest you just change your choices to capris or shorts.
Have fun :-)

Hey uhm im 13..and im not the u kno most preppiest girl out there. I have black hair and brown eyes..I want sumthing to do with my hair cuz im tired of being so tomboyish. Im not the skinniest girl so does ne1 have ne tips on how i can be a little more girly without being preppy? (link)
|
Well, first off I'd just wear a cute pair of boot cut jeans and a fitted t-shirt, because that looks great on anyone. Try some classic skirts, or the bohemian look, which I adore- http://teenfashion.about.com/od/trends/tp/boho05.htm
This has a lot of bohemian staple clothing described that you can find really cheap at places like Kohls, Sears, or Target. If you prefer getting it at a specialty clothing store, go to Forever 21. This is the BEST store for the bohemian look, and the clothes are really, really nice and not preppy.
For your hair, I don't know how long it is, so I'll put down styles for all lengths-
If you have short hair (above your shoulders) then I'd go with this look-
http://www.beauty.about.com/od/blackhair/ss/shortblack_6.htm
It's flipped at the ends and really cute.
FOr a medium hair look, I'd go with this-
http://www.beauty.about.com/od/hairstylephotogalleries/ss/longface.htm
or this-
http://www.beauty.about.com/od/hairstylephotos/ss/wildsexyupdos.htm
which is a pretty deconstructed look.
Long hair, try this-
http://www.beauty.about.com/od/blackhairstyles/ss/longblack_4.htm
It's Beyonce's signature look, and it looks great on ANYONE.
Hope I helped!

Hey everyone,
My sister n law is having a baby, and she just found out today that she's going to be having another boy! I was wondering if anyone could help me out, and suggest any boy names pretty much that you can think of. I already suggested about 45 names to my brother, and he hasn't liked any of them! He's the most picky person I know! I know alot of the common ones people use these days, so if you can try not to suggest some of those. Thank you so much in advance! I really appreciate it! I'll rate you a 5 if you try, cuz I'm a really nice person. :-)

how do you use it and what's better a pencil or liquid...?
I have tried a pencil but the tip is rough and you have to push too hard for it to show up at all so I'm confued.
Thanx!
Artiste (link)
|
Personally I prefer a pencil, but liquid is great because you can just touch the tip to your eyelid without pressing and you instantly get a great, thin line. Sometimes liquid can be hard to get off your eye, but if you use a good quality eye makeup remover then you should be fine.
Check out www.sephora.com and click on makeup, eyes, then eyeliner to find a great quantity of eyeliners that are really good quality. It may be possible that the pencil you have isn't high quality, because the pencils I have smudge right off on my lids.
Good luck!

How much are you supposed to tip your hair stylist if you're getting your hair highlighted? (The price is around $50-$75) (link)
|
Well, if you're thrilled with the results and you think that the stylist did an excellent job, I would tip fifteen percent, which is around $11.25 for a 75 dollar highlighting.
If you're happy with the results, but it's nothing especially exciting, then I'd tip ten percent, which is around $7.50 for $75.
If you are just okay with it, tip five percent, which is $3.75.
If you're horrified, don't tip at all.

Hi, Im going to the Vans Warped Tour in Milwaukee this summer. Its gonan be hot, so what should I wear? How long does it go until? Are there a lot of drugs? Am I gonna get beat up if Im sorta preppy? (im a girl) Let me know! thanks! (link)
|
Just don't wear a skirt- wear a pair of tan Bermuda shorts, or a normal pair of shorts, and a t-shirt. Don't wear shirts from Aeropostale, Hollister, or American Eagle- stick with a plain shirt and a solid shorts to blend in with the crowd. I doubt you'd get beat up- especially if you are a girl.
There are probably going to be a bunch of cigarette smokers, but nothing illegal- there are probably going to be a bunch of security people to keep the band safe, and no one wants to mess with them :-).
Have fun!

ok like if your popular and every1 thinks ur a snob how do you get people to stop hating you!?!?! thanxxx (link)
|
The best thing to do is just to go and make friends with some people who don't hang out with you. Spread youself out. Sometimes just because you're popular, people don't like you because they don't like one of your friends. Go and sit at a different lunch table than you normally do, or talk to someone who you normally don't talk to. If you are extremely nice to everyone and you talk to people by initiating the conversation, then people will realize that you aren't a snob, but a really nice person.

Can anyone give me the recipe for a homemade face mask?
(link)
|
There are many to choose from.
Remember to take a patch test by putting some of the mask on the inside of your arm and waiting for a bit to make sure it doesn't irritate your skin.
Simple Oatmeal Mask-
THis mask works well on all skin types. If your skin is dry, use whole milk or cream, otherwise stick with low fat or nonfat milk. Oatmeal will leave your skin soft and toned.
3 Tbsp regular, uncooked oatmeal, ground to a fine flour
2 Tbsp milk or cream
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Pull your hair back off your face. Run a washcloth under warm water, squeeze it ut and hold it over your hace for a few seconds to dampen it. Apply the mask over your face. Lie back and let it work for 10-15 minutes. Use a washcloth and wipe the mask off, and discard any leftover mask.
If you'd like any more recipes, feel free to drop an inbox- I just dont want to type them all in here. :-)

does anyone have any ideas about what to name my puppy? hes a black lab and hes so cuddly, and hea boy...and fluffy..i rate high!thnx bub byez (link)
|
If you can't think of a special name that you want to name your pet, then here are some basic guidelines to picking a name (with examples):
1. Don't pick one syllable names, because they sound too much like commands. "Spot" sounds an awful lot like "Sit" to a dog.
2. Pick a name that will go with your dog for the rest of his life. For example, don't name him "Baby" (I know you weren't thinking about that name, but it's an example) because as an adult Lab I don't think you'd like that name for him very much, and you'd be stuck with it for him.
3. Now down to good names to pick- Pick names with a soft "a" Sarah (again, an example...I wouldn't name my guy dog Sarah :-P) or a hard "o" like Bosco. Some examples-
Toro
Bosco, of course
Othello
Adolfo (Italian for wolf)
And at www.petnamesworld.com, you can create an advanced search which will show you a lot of interesting and exotic names to give your dog.
