i was just about to paint my bathroom. does anyone one have any tips? and also should i paint the ceiling before the walls or the other way around? thanks!

I would start off by painting the ceiling first, because if paint drips on the walls you can paint over it when you are doing the walls.

color ideas:

blue (calming + makes space apear larger)
peach (good because it provides good reflection for the skin which is important in a room where you apply makeup)
green (creates calm, resting atmosphere)
coffee colors (spa like feel)
i also think a color like magenta or violet would look really elegant.

paint the ceiling white, or else the bathroom will look small and cramped.


i also read somewhere that instead of painting the walls, you can leave them white, but one wall is covered in paintings that have one predominating color. also a colored shower curtain adds a nice pop to the bathroom. (for example you want a green wall, so you pick out pictures that have a lot of green in them and hang up a green shower curtain) for a bonus add a colored rug. it will be unique and will add visual interest. also a colored shower curtain adds a nice pop to the bathroom. accentuate with green towels, soap dishes, toothbrush holders, etc.


candles really help a bathroom smell nicer and look nicer.

plants, especially flowers, are a nice touch



anyways have fun and good luck!!!

ok well I have these bags under my eyes when ever I wake up that stay with me all day. I've had people ask me if I was a stoner its that bad. And I'm not a stoner, never done drugs, anything. Anything I can put over my eyes to stop this? Or any change in diet I can do to help prevent it?

to get rid of the bags temporarily, apply something cold to you eye. (in its closed state obviously and to the area where the bags are) it can be anything from cucumbers from the fridge to cold tea bags. hold it on for 5-10 minutes.

as for the long term treatment, eat healthy, well balanced meals, and avoid caffeine. get as much sleep as you can and avoid stressful situations.

k so i have like "speed bumps" or w.e. and like they are itching like at randome times but when they are itchy theyr realllly itchy. some one told me that when your boobs itch that means there growing. is that true??

no. when your boobs are itchy that means that you have dry skin. Moisturize them daily after you shower. this will help with the itchiness, plus they may grow a little faster because you are stimulating them and increasing blood flow to the area.

ok, so im 13/f and a guy keeps asking me out.. i was just wondering what are someways to nicely, tell him that i don't want to go out with him?? thankyou

-I'm sorry but I don't want to be in any sort of relationship right now
-You are a very sweet guy, but I like you as a friend
-I don't like you in that way, but I can suggest ___ and I think you will be a very cute couple
-I sorry, but I have a boyfriend (if you do)


but remember if the guy is bothering you continualy it is ok to say flatout NO. he already knows what the answer will be, so it is his own fault if he keeps on asking because he should be aware that it will hurt him, and if he does get hurt, know it is not your fault because he could have protected himself by not asking you out.

thanks in advance.

this has TONS of recipes. i dont know what ingredients you have becasue guyanese cuisine has lots of unknown ingredients that are hard to find, so just browse on their website by clicking the letters, or selecting from the categories. good luck!!!!

i died my hair to day and my best friend thinks i look kinda of ugly what should i do??????
helppp

well if YOU like your hair then leave it as it is, regardless of what your friend thinks. ignore your friend when she tells you you look ugly. remember everyone has different tastes, and everyone should respect that, especially your friend.

how do i have sex my boyfriend as been asking me too have sex with him but i dont know how too

the first thing you should ask your self is are you ready for it? it will not be enjoyable at all unless you are 100 percent ready. if you answer yes to ALL these questions chances are you are ready.

Do I love my boyfriend?
Does my boyfriend love me?
Do I want to have sex?
Do I have the right protection (condoms, the pill, etc) so as not to become pregnant?
If I do feel uncomfortable, will I be okay with telling my boyfriend no?
Do I have enough money, patience, and love to raise a child if I do become pregnant?



when you are ready to have sex, and you love the person you are having sex with, then it really should just come naturally. Mother Nature made it part of life to reproduce, and thus, if you noticed, mothers dont teach their children to have sex, both in humans and animals. It is part of instinct to know how to have sex. When you are having sex, you should know naturally what to do. I know right now it seems like your clueless, but trust me, you will know what to do.


If you aren't sure how to have sex, or youre feeling that you are going to do something wrong, go to a porn website. If you have seen sex, chances are you are going to feel more comfortable when youre doing it.


good luck, and remember dont be pressured to have sex, or you might regret it later on.

14/f
okay so a few months ago i noticed that i had stretchmarks on my boobs. i thought they would go away after a while, but it's 6 months later and THEY'RE STILL NOT GONE! i've told my mom about them and she says that they will go away over time, but i want them to go away as soon as possible. i don't know what to do about them. they are really dark and make me self-concious. cause when we're changing in the locker room for gym, you can see them cause they like go above my bra. any help?
thanks - kate

cocoa butter is supposed to get rid of stretchmarks. you can find it in the "lotion" department of basicly any store.

alright i'm 15 - and i've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year now. i'm still a virgin, and plan on keeping it that way until i am ATLEAST out of highschool. anyways, we haven't had sex, but he HAS fingered me. and i've bled before -- maybe because he was being aggressive, but maybe because he popped my cherry. i was just wondering if i were to go to the gyno, whenever i decide to go, if it would look like i wasn't a virgin anymore because my hymen could in fact be broken. like, would he/she be able to tell that i haven't had sex? or would it look like i have?

it is impossible to tell if you had sex. (unless you are of course pregnant)



you don't need to worry: you can break your hymen by using tampons, running, swimming, etc, and a large percent of women have their hymens broken even though they have never had sex. most likely the gyno will assume that you had yours broken from doing one of those things.

i have two female conures (birds)(little parrots) and i caught them havin sex then a while later they had two nests and two groups of eggs on oppasite sides of the cage.they both had two eggs.and were sittin on their own pile.we have never had a male bird nobody else i no has them either so theres two female birds tht both laid 2 eggs the size of their heads.and trust me one of them didnot lay all four thatd be bigger than they are.its kinda desturbing~two females havin sexand both layin eggs~so is there somthing wrong w/ them or what

there is nothing wrong with your birds.

they can lay unfertilized eggs, a male is not needed to lay an egg (but a male is needed to fertilize it)

as for them having sex they are probably in their mating season, and are following their natural instincts to mate. they dont really care who they mate with.

i suggest you throw away the eggs or else they will go bad, and your birds will keep on sitting on them because theyll think that they will hatch.
