Q: My dermatologist has switched me from Differin gel to Retin-a-Micro.
What should I expect? Is it any different than the Differin? Will it break me out before it clears me out? Should I use it nightly or every other night?
Thanks!

that explains a lot of stuff that you have questions for.
i honestly don't use either but i've heard it's not that different it just clears it up even faster. And if you don't know if it'll burn your skin then i'd use it every other night and then maybe of the weekend like on a friday and saturday use it those 2 nights just to make sure it won't break you out..i mean burn your skin.
hope this helped some.

Q: I'm 13/m There's this girl who I really like, and she likes me, but i don't know how to tak the next step, because I don't want us to break up and end up hating each other. Should I ask her or just let us be friends? need help plz reply
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Well if you really like her and you know she likes you too just ask her. She'd proly be really happy. But don't like scare her type thing just go slow; she might not want a real fast relationship. And that's really good that you don't want you all to break up! I think you should ask her...unless you don't really like her then just be friends and see what happens from there!

Q: I want to start doing a "video diary" type thing on youtube. Sorta like "lonelygirl15" minus the acting. I also want to like tape my life sorta, like going shopping or out.
What is the best preferably small digital camcorder(?) to do this with?
Any Suggestions?
Thanks.

well i guess it depends on how much you want to spend and what you want on it. Like where you can put it all on a dvd with out having to transfer it but sony has the BEST camcorders i love the one i have. They're not tiny tiny but they're small and they're easy to use. There's always a
"point and shoot" camera which is super tiny and it's pretty cool. i've heard a lot about it. Plus they're best for video diary's. [putting them on the web. lol] they're not so good for like making mini movies however but they're extremely good for diary's. If you want a really good one try to get one with a 'flash memory' and an 'lcd' moniter. Best Buy has them for free shipping and under 150 dollars. That's a good deal. Well if you have any other questions just i.m. me

Q: My closest female friend is always with me. We spend alot of time together. More recently when we are alone we just talk and look giddly at eachother. When laughing, she tends to lean on me and if a song or somthing comes on and we're not talking, she'll lay her head across on my lap (we're in a car). She may even move my hand so that I am holding her, and she gently takes my hand. When we are talking like this or just looking at eachother we are very close (physically). I dont know if she would want me to kiss her, in fact I think about it all the time! Whenever there is an awkward silence and we just gaze at eachother instead of doing anything we just laugh giddly. I am so unsure of what she wants. I know what I want ;-). I would have no problem hooking up with her at the every impulse or at least whenever I read the situation that asks for it. But I don't know if that is what she wants too. I don't want this to be awkward but the constant punding of my head with this confusing situation is driving me crazy! I can't just say, "hey want me to kiss you" because that would destroy any mood at the moment, and who knows! Maybe she is just expecting me to kiss her, and know what she wanted. what does she want, why won't she just say "kiss me" if she really wanted me to. Does that mean she wants to keep the relationship the way it is currently?! Should I just make the move at her and see what happens (We have hooked up before, but she always initiates). It's not that i'm afraid or anything, I just have no 'friggen clue what she wants!
*please also, don't say talk to her about it. because i've tried this. doesn't turn out properly.
so - do i make the move when i think she wants me to kiss her? even though she really hasnt made any suggestion that she wants it
any help at all is much appreciated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
yea...she wants you too kiss her...it's pretty obvious. She just as worried as your are about "breaking the moment" so just follow your heart and you'll do fine.

Q: Me and a lot of my friends (there are somewhere around 15 of us maybe?) have a team for an event to raise money for cancer research. We're going to make up a team name and make T-shirts and such, and I was wondering if anyone could help us with a cute team name? (we're 14-15 year old girls) We haven't had many good thoughts as of yet. It doesn't have to be relevant to anything. Last year we were the Hot Tamales. lol I liked that but we want to find a different name for this year. Thanks for any suggestions!

Q: Is there anything that i may have around my house that i could put on my hair over night to make it really soft and silky tomarrow? you know how some peoples hair is so soft and shiny, but not oily looking, and when you touch it it feels soft? well is there anything i can put on my hair tonight that would make mine as close to that as possible in the morning? It can be like maybe some hair products, but i probabally wouldnt have them at home because i need it for tomarrow, or it could be any kind of food or food juices if you know what i mean. just anything and everything.
thanks =]
and what would i need to do to it in the morning and does it need to be wet or dry when i put it on and do i need to cover it with anything while i sleep.
kAy thanks

You could try this stuff called Anti-frizz from bedhead or some kind of soothing serum from paul mitchell or anything from walmart [smoothing serum or anti frizz works best] and just have your hair dry and rub it through your hair. Try using a leave-in conditioner. Or if you just have conditioner use a TINY TINY squirt and rub through your hair while it's wet.
Hope this helped some!

Q: Hi I have a very petite body and I just bought these beautiful really wide legged pants that fit nice and snug on my bum. Now my dilemma is what shirt should I pair with it, I dont think I should pair it with a wide top because of the pants, and alot of the the less wide topes arent dressy enough. Do you have any opinions?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
try a tight-er shirt that comes about to the waist of the jeans.
Or
a cami or tank top with a cropped sweater or short sleve sweater thing.
Or
and tight-er shirt that's kind of long
yea a wider shirt wouldn't look right with the jeans...i'm the same way
petite ... but i don't have a bottom! lol
Hope this helped some.

Have no fear!
1st- BE CONFIDENT; stop worrying about how you look; it's great you wanna loose weight but 1st you have to be really confident you can do it.
2nd- Eat fruit as much as possible, same with veggies. [ i like fruit a lot more plus it helps you feel good ]
3rd- Exercise. Do some cardio workouts 2-5 times a week. or everyday. but don't over do it!
4th- Instead of coming home and eating a candy bar or opening up chips eat a sandwhich with protien!
5th- While your watching tv or on the computer every 10-15 minutes get up and just run in place...
6th- walk every saturday. try the early morning walk, walk up and down your street for like 30 minutes. Come home and relax and eat an apple.
7th- try cutting down on the portion size. Don't starve yourself but eat 3 meals. Oatmeal [my like favorite breakfast food] , Cereal, Nutrition Bars for breakfast. Lunch have a nice ham, turkey, sandwhich [subway's a good idea you can pick it up a day or 2 earlier and keep it in the fridge (if it's deli) and eat that for lunch. For dinner have vegetables, fruit, noodles [some sort of pasta], meat, and water or milk!
Mainly just eat healthy cut down a little on the portion size, exercise as much as possible with out over doing it, and just trust that you can loose the weight!
hope this helped

Q: I have two really red pimples, and they won't goa way. (Had them for about 2 days now) But I really just want the redness to go away. Will toothpaste help this? And what are the side effects from using toothpaste on your face? Also, when should I apply the toothpaste, and leave it on how long before I take it off?
THANKS!
|
|
|
|
|

Toothpaste is amazing. You'd leave it on all night and when you wake up just wash your face with gentle soap. Another thing you can do is ice it. But it might make it a little more red. lol What always works for me is..
crushed up asprin [between 2-5 pills. depends on how big the zit is] with a little bit of COLD water...[so it's like a paste]
optional: slice of a banana.
and MINT toothpaste
just rub it on the zits at night and wake up and take a cool wash cloth and wipe it off.
that should work..
but if not
try getting a Neutrogena (can't spell) ance treatment put it ONLY ON THE PIMPLE not around it ON IT [trust me lol well i guess it's just my skin but sometimes it'll burn my face]
or witch hazel works well too just to zap it off. it might take like 2 days but it'll go away.
hope those pimples go away!

Q: My best friend had been going through this really slutty stage lately and I'm getting really annoyed. She started to get this mind set that because i've hooked up with guys tons of times she NEEEDS to also (she never has). She thinks in order to achieve this goal she needs to be as slutty as possible. Shell go up to guys and like pull her shirt down so her cleavage hangs out!! Or shell ask them if they want a handjob! I've tried to tell her that hooking up is for people who care about eachother and not for fun (for me at least) but she tells me that I'm going at it all wrong.
Yesterday she sent a picture of herself topless to a guy friend and this is seriously the last straw. What can I say to make her understand that being slutty doesn't get guys!!?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Holy woah!
Yea you need to talk to her. wow. that's just wrong. Ya i know exactly what you mean i know a girl who likes to act like a total slut and it gets her no where. She likes to pull down her tank or take of her cami in the middle of class when the teacher leaves. Well what you can always do is get one of your guy friends to see if she can start acting all sleezy n stuff and when she asks you want a handjob or wants to take or send another picture of her topless have the guy friend [who won't get distracted] be like ew god, that's just gross...
or just tell her that she's not acting right and she'll never have a guy who really cares for HER if she acts like that...
ew..
[lol sorry but it reminds me too much of the girl i know...]

Q: 15/f
me and my best guy friend started a friends with benefits relationship but we want to keep it a secret and that was a mutual decision. this has been going on for about 5months now. it has been rediculously hard not to tell my best girl friend and normally i tell her EVERYTHING. while talking to a friend of both of ours i accidentally sliped and spilled the truth to her. she was fine with it and she's a very trustworthy friend and i know she would never tell anyone about us. for about 2weeks i hadn't told my guy friend that one of our friends knew about us. finally yesterday i told him because i don't want to keep things from him. he got mad but played it off just like "w/e doesn't matter" but then when he was leaving he didn't say goodbye. he doesn't know it but i really like him alot, more than just a friend. im in love with him. i don't want to screw anything up because i really believe we have a good chance at a romantic relationship. i apologized to him many times about spilling the beans but i dont think he understands how hard it is to keep it a secret that long from my best friend either. i can sense that he's still mad and i don't know how to show him how much i really love him because we've said "i love you" to each other but it was just as friends. i know this probably sounds confusing but all im asking is how to have a meaningful apology so he'll know i'm really sorry and i really care.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wow,
ok well just tell him. Even though we're friends with benefits i can't keep that a secret from my best friend. It's impossible. And if he gets mad then maybe he's not worth it because if he wants it a secret what's the point?
You could just tell him i'm really sorry for telling my BEST friend but i really do love you and i'm sorry i messed up. People make mistakes and i'm really sorry. Please forgive me...and what ever else you want to say
just make sure you tell him EXACTLY what you're sorry for; cause guys don't always get the point.
If talking to him doesn't work then give him space and time. And if you both really love each other...you'll figure it out.
Hope this helps!

Q: hey. 14/f. so last year in 7th grade there was this girl, and we were pretty good friends, because we had all of our classes together. well, this year (8th grade) we have 1 class together and we still talk, but only in that one class. well, shes like in the really "popular" croud and on the 13th her and her friend (really really popular) are having their b day partys together. so in this 1 class we are in together, we are the only people to talk to each other. cause like all of the other kids are 7th graders and we just never talk to them. and she was telling me about their party and how they are inviting pretty much everyone in the 8th grade. and she told me that i was gonna get an invitation. so today i go to school and everyone is talking about how they got an invatation and how excited they are for the party. but of course, i did not get one. and she told me i would! tomorrow is when we have our 1 class together, but i'm not sure if i want to talk to her because i'm really kinda pissed. and no, its not just the mail or anything. i live in HER town-the exact same town as her, and people that live like 20 min away already have hers. and i just don't know what to do. i feel like ignoring her, but idk. i just think it is rude how she said i would be invited, yet i did not get an invite. so what should i do?? thanx!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, maybe she's just too caught up in being "popular" i know exactly how you feel and i've been where your "friend" is now. sometimes you just really want to fit in and you don't invite your true friends. I did that for my 13th birthday and it was a humungo mistake i really wish some of my real friends would've slapped me across my face and just told me that i was too busy trying to be popular. Don't ignore her. I would get even more mad it my friend ignored me...she might not even know what she's doing wrong. Even though your pissed talk to her not like aww i really wish...blah blah no. You can be kinda ticked it'll show her that she's hurting someone. And tell her i thought you said i'd be invited...but how come i never got one? and if she said well i sent one to you. Just say i want another one or something...just to be sure. Follow your gut but don't go too far.
hope i helped!

Well i don't know. They have to be nice lol uhm understanding. I'd say kinda like a friend but u know. Uhm being a little funny helps. Not being afraid to show the girl off in front of his friends. You probably know just not thinking hard enough or something.

Q: how do you put eyeliner (preferably pencil black eyeliner) on the inner part of your top eye lid??
it's like inside your top eye lid.
won't it smear against your eye?? i'm confused!
please help!
if you can, please show pictures!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Ok well i know some people who actually close their eye and shove the pencil literally into it..but i can't do that! You can try closing one eye taking your hand that you don't write with and like make it go wider [put your finger at the corner towards your head and pull lol] and just put it close to your lash line. It's kind of hard to explain...if your REALLY want i.m. me or e-mail me and i'll send you a diagram...lol. i was bored one day and my friend wanted to know.. =D

Q: hey. 14/f. well, my 8th grade promotion is coming up in about a month. well, i had this one dress that was cream color and had some gold sequince on it. i decided that i wanted something diffrent. so we took it back, and i had been thinking the dresses with a solid color, then a lace overlay were really pretty. so today i went to the mall to look. i found one, that i like. it was cream colored, with a black lace overlay. so i bought it. then i got a really pretty perl (fake, lol) necklace and some cute black shoes. well, i get home and try it on again. now i kinda think i look like an old lady. :( i really want to look cute, but i think people will make fun of me. i got online and looked for one, but i just can't find one that really POPS out at me. its making me mad and sad. i know i still have like a month or whatever, but soon, prom dresses will be gone, and that usually means other cute dresses will be gone. i got online and looked, but couldn't find one. i looked at dillards, jcpenny, sears, nordstrom, urban outfitters, charlotte russe, and wet seal. but i can't seem to find one. so if anyone knows where i can get a cute fun lace overlay dress, then that would be AWESOME!!!i wear a size L or XL in dress. thanks so much!

Q: so me and this guy have been best friends for about 7 years. and hes liked me before, but i didnt like him then. and now i like him...a lot, but he has a girlfriend and shes one of my good friends. i'm happy for them, and i wouldnt do ANYTHING to ruin their relationship, and i dont want to tell him because i dont want to make things awkward between us or anything. so, how can i put aside my feelings for him, and just be his best friend, without liking him, until hes available? any advice would be helpful. thanks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
yea, i know exactly what you mean! Well i mean you can like him. You can't control that! If his gf is a girl you trust you might want to to tell her or just keep it a secret. Uhm...you can't "not" like him you can't control your feelings...well you can but it's hard. You can always did what i did just not think about it OR maybe MAYBE it's a thing where you just need to look for a different guy. What i did was i waited and then figured out he's a jerk but the difference is you know the guy so it might just be worth the wait..
Sorry if i didn't answer this.
