where else do you buy the arm things that go from your hand to your elbow with a thumb hole. i love them but my mom took all mine. (link)
You can get them at hottopic, claires, newbury comics, or from h&m!!!!!!




HOPE I HELPED :D


Is it better to take a bath or shower ? That might sound dumb but is one better than the other? I notice when I take a shower the water hitting my face like makes my face turn all red and my face itches for some reason but when I take a bath it doesnt. (link)
i think taking a shower is better because when you take a bath you are practically "sitting in your on filth"(cus all the dirt and whatever just falls to the bottom of the tub.



if the water from the shower hurts ur face then you should get a differnet shower head that makes it not as hard,on ine theyre are settings for like soft,medium,hard.


How long after you eat can you excercise? And how long do you wait after you finished eating to excerxise? Because I eat after I excercise and my stomache hurts. And I excercise 30mins after I eat and get a stomache ache (link)
hey

well you should wait 30 - 60 minutes after eating before you begin excercising. if you need more than that because your stomach hurts / you feel nauseous, then be my guest! but dont excercise before then.

you need some time to digest the food.

it also depends on what food it is. if it's like, an apple, 15 minutes could do it. but a FULL BLOWN MEAL = def. 30 - 60 minutes.

i hope i helped & answered your question completely :]


Hey!!wuts up ppl?? ok, well, i'm 14/f and my skin has some bumps on it. and its not like pimples or anything, its like a rash. see, i was using this clenser stuff to clean my face and i had been using it for a while, but the other day i got these bumps on my face. my mom said it was probably to strong for my face. so she gave me this other stuff to clean my face and try to get rid of the bumps, but it made my skin dry. and the bumps are still there. i've had the bumps for like, 4 days and i figured the bumps would start going away, but there not. so does anyone know of some clenser stuff that works really really really good on any type of skin??? cause on my cheeks, forehead, and a tiny tiny bit on my chin there are these stupid bumps!!! thanks!!! (link)
you can use clean and clear,you can get it at like walgreens walmart.....

if you just had spring break(i just did) then it might be a rash from the sun. my little brother has bumps all over his stomach.(idk if thats what it is or not,for you.)



On the SAT, I got a:

540 in Critical Reading
680 in Math
570 in Writing

So I got a 1790 total. Is this a good score? (link)
ya it is a very good score.


what makeup materials do you need, and how do you do it? full instructions pleasee.

thanks, much lovee (link)
hey

this is what you'll need to get that look:
- a black, liquid eye liner
- a black, pencil / stick eye liner
- black / gray / white trio eye shadow
- a q-tip
- black mascara
- eye shadow brush

first, start with a clean face. make-up is like art. you have to start out clean & fresh if you want it to look the best :] moisturize your face & apply a light foundation. pull the outer corner of one eye with your non-dominant hand with your eye closed. slowly pencil in the line right above your eyelashes. it should be very thin. next, take the black / gray / white trio eyeshadow. take the white eyeshadow and apply it right under your eyebrow. then, take the gray eyeshadow and apply it along the crease of your eyelid. the black eyeshadow should be applied very lightly. just line it across your lid & dont over do it. take the black mascara & put two coats on the top & one coat on the bottom. make sure you move the mascara tip to the left & right to get extra volume. lastly, you should apply the liquid eyeliner. it's the same thing with the pencil / stick eyeliner. pull the outer corner of your eyes & slowly yet carefully line across your upper lid. end with a dramatic curl on your outer corners. optional: apply the pencil / stick eyeliner on your bottom lashes. make sure you dont put it in the inner corners of your eye! use the qtip to slightly smudge the liquid liner, or to clean up mistakes :]

this can be very dramatic. it's usually a night-time look.

i hope i helped & you can find all those things at a simple drugstore. there aren't any specific brand names. and it also depends on how much money youre willing to spend. here's some more tips:

Well, there's this guy I supposedly like. My friends at lunch knew I liked him (we have pretty much the same friends, so I asked about him) but he didn't know who liked him. So my friend Christy pted. me out. My other friend, Dusty who knows him asked him what he thought about me, and he said"She's really pretty, and asked "Why don't she just come down here and talk to me?. She told him, "Cuz she's really shy" . She told me that, I was excited so I decided that day to say hey, he looked at me and smiled and said hey, (it wasn't until the end of lunch by the time I said hey)the next day I didn't get to see him at lunch (cuz I had comp.) but Friday, I thought would be perfect to go up to him, I came in and sat by him, he looked at me and turned his head. I was like okay?.. He was ignoring me. I didn't say anything though. I just sat there. Then my friend Dusty came down there and said" Hey, everybody!, hey Justin* how are you? So Justin what are you doing this weekend?" He mumbled something to her but I couldn't understand him, I kept looking at him but he'd glance for a 2nd at me then turn his head. Then Dusty asked Justin" So what's going on? Yall are sitting next to each other and not talking" I looked at him, he just shrugged his shoulders, looked at me then he went to talk to his friend. I was like wtf? I asked him if I was bothering him just sitting there and he said no. We was angry. So me and Dusty were mad so we went back to our end of the table. I was so embarrased by that. This week I've skipped lunch, and sat out by myself. Then I found out he too hasn't been to lunch either.. He's been avoiding his friends and I've been avoiding mine.. I'm comfused what's going on?. (link)
he likes you. he was just shy and then embarrased of what he did. you should wait a while to see if he will come to you. then if he doesn't, you could ask him for his number.

Hi.

I'm not a big fan of dresses, but I would like to try the style out.

What are some websites that sell dresses that are comfortable and you can wear out shopping, or with friends? Nothing to fancy. I really like the punkish style too.

Thanks. (link)
hey

some super comfortable, simple dresses that you can even wear to school can be found at these websites:

- www.wetseal.com
- www.abercrombiekids.com
- www.abercrombie.com
- www.hollisterco.com
- www.urbanoutfitters.com
- www.anthropologie.com [ more adult-ish ]
- www.delias.com
- www.americaneagle.com [ kinda long though ]
kohls sometimes has cute, cheap ones too.

once, i found this AMAZING lux minidress [ it's like a bubbleskirt & a tank top sewn togther ] at urbanoutfitters.com & i wear a white henley over it & it looks sooo cute. dresses dont always have to be fancy & for special occasions.

i'm sorry, i dont know how preppy you are but those are the sites which have cute dresses.

i hope i helped!

When I get my period...and I use the bathroom...or take a shower...I notice these...weird, bloody...plasma-things....in the shape of little balls......on my pad/or in the shower/bathroom. They're like clots....and when I have my period...and am sitting down, I sometimes feel them come. Is it normal? (link)
hey

oh yeah. it's totally normal. it's like when you blow your nose & you have like a glob of mucus, right? & after you feel it come out there's like a huuuuge mess. you dont feel them come out when you have a tampon. but you use pads. so you would feel them.

totally normal. no worries.


i'm 16, 17 next month.. i am 5 ft. tall and i weigh 103 lbs. is this normal for my age and height ? (link)
hey

you didn't specify your gender..

if youre a girl, 20.1 is your BMI & youre in the 45 percentile. that means that 55% of girls your age & height weigh more than you.

if youre a guy, it's actually the same thing. so nevermind.

http://www.halls.md/body-mass-index/bmi.htm

so youre pretty good. you might consider even gaining a little weight?

i hope i helped :)


Does anyone know a site that I can go to to get the piano sheet music to "Because of you"? It needs to be free and downloadable, as well as printable. Thanks in advance. (link)
e-chords.com do sheet music for all instuments. hope i helped


okay, well i can't seem to find this anywhere, so if someone could help me interperet my dream, that would be great.

well i'm in 8th grade now & i had a dream that it was the first day of high school & i just walked into the main office to get my schedule. well i was really late & nervous... & i found a staple remover on one of the lady's desks & i pushed it into the palmside of my thumb (like the part that you push down when you get your thumb printed) & pointer finger of my righthand, & it started bleeding [ a lot ] & stinging.

can someone please explain to me what that means? i'll take ANYTHING. thanks! (link)
um...ok...wow...first of all don't worry, everyone has had an unexplainable dream in their life...even if they dont want to admit it lol. Personally, i dont think that the dream meant anything, it was just a wierd dream. Think back to before you had that dream, were you nervous for some reason, or thought that you might get hurt on the palm of your hand??? Dont be worried i am sure lots of people have even more unexplainable dreams than urs :-) GoOd LuCk finding out what that dream was about!


i really miss my friend. the thing is that since we've stopped talking (like, TWO MONTHS TOPS) she's gotten really popular. she's always with people. so i'm afraid to text or call her in case she's with soebody. if i finally do work up the courage to call her, what should i say? we didn't really get into a fight, just some stuff happened and she was weird around me so we stopped making contact. (link)
hey

well, you have to think about some things. like, if you do call her, how would it help / not help you? like would it be worth it having her back? or will she just claim you guys are friends & not talk to you? -- will YOU be the one to always call to hang out, or will she ever try to make plans?

you obviously can't answer some of those questions right now, but for right now you can ask yourself: do i REALLY want her back? will i gain anything? so, if you are positive that you want her, taking into consideration that she's changed & has a new circle of friends, you can do the following:

- send her an email. find her email address from someone & say something like, "hey, ____. look i've been thinking recently..." get to the point. you want to be direct. dont spend too much time talking about the good / bad parts of your last friendship. it might confuse her. explain to her how you feel, however. if she doesn't respond within 3 weeks...

- IM her. but do this only if you guys used to talk on [ whatever instant messaging program ]. cause if you guys didnt talk by IM, she might be like... why did she get my sn. & how. so just be aware of that. IM her & say, "hey... i sent you an email & i'm not sure you got it?" she might feel intrigued to respond, but there's always a possibility she wont. if she doesnt ever respond, blocks you, or signs off, i'd suggest either the next step...

- talk to her in person, if possible. if she's in one of your classes, go up to her & be like, 'heyy i sent you an email the other day..." if she smiles & says, 'omg i never got it!' then just keep talking & tell her how you feel. if she says like, "oh." & nothing else, you can infer that she either read it, didn't read it but deleted it, or both. you KNOW she knows what youre saying when you say it in person.

...or just [ i know this might sound a little harsh ] try to move on. we all loose & gain friends. it's a part of life. but sometimes, like this quote:

there's a point in life when you just get tired of
chasing everyone & trying to fix everything.
but it's not giving up. it's realizing that
you just don't need certain people.

sometimes you just gotta find the heart to move on. it's hard, & considering how tiight you guys were, it's gonna be a challenge. if she stopped talking to you, she wasn't a real friend. she might have USED to been [ uh. ] but no anymore. you, like her, need to make a new circle of friends & start hanging with people who like you for who you are. cause i mean friends are supposed to be there. not get in fights.

i hope i helped & good luck, hun. just dont forget to not hang out with people that don't love you for your beautiful, smart, caring self :]


Ok as you get older is it possible for your face to get longer and then for your nose to appear smaller? but it is actually the smaller but same size? Or would your nose just grow bigger along with your face?

Weird question i know but please try and answear it. (link)
hey

usually, however long your nose is in comparison to your face right now, that's the proportion. like if your nose is (i'm just saying) 3 inches long & your whole face is... idk 7 inches... then when your face turns 14 inches, your nose will be 6 inches. i hope you know proportions... ?

cause if not, yes. your nose grows. it usually stays around the same shape, but the top part like the straight part grows until youve stopped growing.

i dont think that your nose stops growing when youre like, 18 & then your face keeps growing... cause i mean remember when you were a baby with a little teeny weeny nose? it grew... along with your face.

i, uh, hope that answered your question & hope it didn't confuse you.

let me explain the whole 3, 6, 7, 14 thing up there.

look. your nose right now is 3 inches long. (lets just say). youre still growing. your total growing capacity is 6 inches (for your nose... aka your nose can't grow any more than 6 inches). right. well. lets say your face right now is 7 inches long. got that? if your nose now is 3 inches... & the total it can be is 6, you double it. so you can interpret that your face, when done growing, will be around 14 inches. sorry those aren't realistic numbers... they were just easy to work with.



Anyone know any cute little organizing tips for a girls bedroom ----- my lil sis (shes 11)??????? (link)
hey

wow... three years ago was a long time :] haha. i'm very organized only because everything in my room has a specific place & order they go in. all my clothes are in color order or item sorted. i roll up all my short-sleeves & tanks like little sushi rolls and keep them in drawers like that. i realized it saves space & money.

everything is pretty much boxed & bagged. all my make-up, clothes, desk items, etc. you think it gets annoying to have to keep opening drawers & unzipping bags to get to stuff, but you get used to it. i dont keep anything on the tops of my dressers & desks to make space to clear out my thoughts. when you see clutter, you get stressed out.

toys & extraneous things can go in one big giant box & kept to the side of your room. like a chest. you can just open it up to find things & it won't be in your way.

i hope i helped & there are millions of other tips you can find online. just google, "organizing tips" [ http://www.google.com/search?q=organizing+tips&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official ]

ok so i'm 15m
theres this girl in one of my classes that i like. i wana ask her out but i just dont now if she likes me or not. she does things that i dont now if they mean she likes me. like she puts her foot like a mila meter over my foot and nudges it sometimes, or she flirts w/ me, or she's always tryin to grab my hand to draw stuf on it or like if i try to take somethin from her bag as a joke she grabs my arm and holds it for like 30 seconds before lettin go. but she also tells her firends that she doesnt like any1. so does she like me and whats a good way to find out if she likes me or not (link)
hey

it totally sounds like she digs you. the only reason why (probably) she told her friends she doesnt like anyone is cause she doesnt want you to find out she digs you. i think the best way to find out if she likes you or not is to just ask her. i mean it might make her a little upset that you found out (if she does) but what else is there? you could also get ONE of your friends to ask her. she might open up to them than to you cause she might like you. if she grabs your hand, she really likes you. some other things that might give away that she likes youu areee :

http://www.wikihow.com/Know-if-a-Girl-Likes-You

if you like her, you should DEF. tell her. like seriously dude cause then she'll totally go out with you if she likes you. give it a few more days & she if she makes any sudden moves


ok so these two guys who i was friends with during the year are realllly annoying me! and i know one of them likes me.. and i dont like him back at all, ahh and they are always up in my bussiness and like basically on top of me the whole time. AND I NEED SPACE! im kinda becoming a bitch to them to give them the idea of LEAVE ME ALONE! but i dont know what else to do!! (link)
I think that you should confront them and tell them that you like them and all as JUST FRIENDS, but sometimes you just need your space. If they are your true friends...they will understand
:-) GoOd LuCk!!!!

hey

some really "in" things are defnitely - plaid bermuda shorts with a bright, solid tank / tee with a beady necklace with flipflops. ballet flats. babydolls [ tees, tanks, tubes ]. anklets & rings. big, solid headbands. wedges. big, brown belts with light-faded, destroyed jeans. classic shorts [ not like soffes. soffes aren't OUT, but classic shorts are in ].

wetseal is a GREAT store. it has all sorts of simple, unique things & that's why i love it. urban outfitters has its own style- but i love it because of some of the really cool stuff they have. american eagle is pretty cool, too. and of course, pretty much two of the major sellers of everything babydoll & plaid are hollister & abercombie [ cute. ]
