Q: what brand of volumizing spray product can i buy at walgreens ? or walmart.. or any drugstore...

under 10 bucks please, but I NEEEEED IT TO WORK.

you can also list down some tips you do to make your hair "volumized" (especially for waves & cuuurrlss :)



i want links and pics also.. hehehehehe
You don't nescessarily need volumizing spray. It comes in handy though. My mom has straight hair, and its short, so it usually lies flat to her heard, unless she sprays this in it...

I, however, scrunch my hair, because I have naturally curly hair..
Steps to Scrunched Hair-
1. Towel dry hair.
2. Pic hair out, never brush it causes frizziness.
3.Spray some mousse into your hand, and scrunch away!

Now, if you have straight hair, and want more volume, I'd say just spray some hair spray in it and tease your hair.


Here is also some great volumizing products.

Q: I have a recipe that calls for 2 large tomatoes diced. All I have at home right now are a few 14.5 ounce cans of diced tomatoes.

Can anyone tell me how many tomatoes are in the 14.5 ounce can? or to rephrase the question, should I use one 14.5 ounce can, 1/2 of the can, 2 cans to replace the two large tomatoes?

Thanks in advance!
On the back of the can it should say..
Servings, and Serving Size.
Such as two servings..
and a serving being one tomato.
I'm not sure how many are in a can, but I assume one.

Q: is it possible to still have your hair curly at the end of the day even when you didnt put hairspray when you curled it????
It all depends. If you have stick straight hair, then your hair isnt going to want to curl period. So it may not hold a couple hours if that, if you have straight hair, and dont want to use hair spray.
If your hair has curl to it already, then yeah, its possible, they may become looser. I'd still spray a little hairspray in it though, just to be safe.

Q: http://www.target.com/Head-Professional-Tourmaline-Nano-Ceramic-Curling/dp/B000RZSSJ8

worth it?
Personally, I don't own one, but I read the reviews, and it seemed that everyone was satisfied. The price? Yes, definately worth it, curling irons range from various prices. Thats a good deal.

Q: 14/f
so, there was a sadie hawkins dance at my school. the guy that i planned on asking acted like a jerk right before i was about to ask him (long story) and i just couldn't ask him. so i asked my best guy friend. we've been like brother and sister for a little more than a year. this friend doesn't go to my school. so the dance comes and we go out to dinner, he refuses to let me pay for my own dinner, and everything is going great. when we get to the dance, we're just hanging out and i introduce him to all of my friends. when the first slow dance comes, he grabs me and pulls me reallllly close. we dance and we don't even talk while we're dancing. we just stare at each other and smile. when the song ends, we just stand there. he's holding me and i'm smiling and then one of my friends comes up and taps him on the shoulder. she says "you know the song's over right? you don't have to stand there like that..." and he just says "yeah i know." so the rest of the dance goes that way. after the dance, he says he had a really good time. after that, everything went back to normal. in school, i literally was asked 100 times 'are you going out with him?''you looked so cute together' blah blah. now, i'm thinking about him a lot more and i'm wondering...does he have a thing for me? could we be more than friends? help !
Its a good thing that you didnt ask the "jerk", because now, you know a really sweet guy, that you know better than anyone, likes you. He HAS to like you, he wouldnt let you pay for dinner, and he holds you close dancing. Sounds to me like he likes you. Yes you could most definately be more than friends!
Goodluck!

Q: 15/F
I've always had this icky gooey stuff coming out. Like, all the time. I have to wear a panty liner every day and change it at night and stuff because so much comes out!
I haven't smelled it and I'd rather not try to. It's always clear but if I don't change my liner for a few hours then it'll leave behind like a yellowish tint I guess, and it comes out on the toilet paper after I go potty and stuff :X
But I have good hygeine, trust me. Like I use little wipes and stuff, usually the Always kind or Fresh n' Up. And I had an infection down there when I was really little and I'm SO NOTT about to go in for a "check up".
Does anyone have any idea as to how I could fix it a bit, or make this situation a bit more comfortable? Thanks!
Every female will discharge different, when I got my period for the first time, I discharged a LOT! And it scared me to death. Its normal for girls to discharge, and you may think its alot, however it may not be as much as you think.
If this becomes a serious problem, or if your really concerned, then maybe you should go to the doctor, to get some reassurance.
I'm sure its no big deal.
Hope I helped.

Q: i know he mostly soft jst after my period and he uses more fingers thanks for the help
Maybe, suggest him use less fingers, and be more gentle.
No Problem!
=]

Q: it doesnt always happen normal just after my period but i dont think that is the reason. i think the best thing is not let my boyfriend be that rough do you think that will help.
Oh, in your question, you said he was rough and soft, I didnt think you mean that he wasnt gentle. But yes, if he's more gentle that will definately help.

Q: So I've been seeing this guy for a few months and there is a four-year age difference. I am 18 and he is 22. I've met his parents and a lot of his friends and all of them were super nice, but the other night I asked him how his parents felt about me being young. He said, "My mom hates it" and she always brings up thing I'm still in high school. His dad is fine with it though.

The impression I leave on parents is really important to me. I know it's nothing personal about me, i'm a nice girl, but she can't see past the age thing I guess. This just really upsets me and I don't know what to do. It isn't something I can change. My age is my age. Any tips or comforting words? Thanks!
Age, is seriously, nothing but a number, my sister is 18, turns 19 in June, and she's with the love of her life, he's 35 turns 36 in May. They're engaged, and inlove. They've been together for 2 years.
After a while she'll get over it, especially if he likes you like you like him. Maybe it will go further. Good luck!

Q: this problem i have come to is very complex, i work with this girl, and i im practically in love with her,(love at first sight never thought it could happen) we talk laugh and have every thing in common, she has a bf shes ben with for a while they argue and what not but relationships arnt perfect i no, and i have a gf, same we argue from time to time, and i have ben with said gf for 5 years and we are having our first child and i love HER to death.. the problem comes in where i cant get this other girl (co-worker) out of my head... dream, thought, even internet, cant shake this want for her to be a closer person to me. i am not a cheater will never, but i just need to no how i should go about this, i cant say that chemistry wont out shine over history, but i no i cant stop. please someone any one help a man in need, should i go with the flow or try and block a very big river ( sorry so long and arratic lol )
You have a child? I would definately forget about the coworker. You've been with your girlfriend, for five years. Maybe this is just lust, between you and your coworker. I wouldnt think too seriously about leaving your child and gf. Just try to ignore the feelings. Because maybe, if you do leave your gf, it would be a waste. Think of the consequences, this girl may not even like you, you may not even get to see your child, your gf may not accept you back if you realize it was just lust.
Try not to think about it, actually, DONT think about it.
Think about your child.
Only you can make this decision, & I hope I helped you to make the right one.

Q: im 16 and when my bf fingers me i bleed but not all the time sometimes when he is rough or soft is this normal?. i am bit worried now because it keeps happening when it happened the first time i was ok about it as i heard it is normal if you havent had sex. i have had sex now and i dont bleed when we have sex only when he fingers me.
please give me some advice
I was like this when I first started becoming sexually active. I bled atleast 3 times, after having sex, and a couple more times, after being fingered. If your just now becoming sexually active, this may be an effect. I wouldn't be worried unless you are bleeding uncontrollably.
If it does pursue, and it gets worse, I suggest going to the doctor.
Hope I helped.

Q: My boyfriend has never introdued me to his friends because I know about them and they are definitely not my type of people. They're stuck up and snobby and very annoying. I mean all that in a nice way.
Well my Boyfriend told me that if they add me on myspace to delete them. So they tried and I denied the request as what my boyfriend said.

so his friend got very mad that I denied her and posted up a picture of my boyfriend and his ex girlfriend on his page in a comment of course. My boyfriend and I have seen this picture before and it broke my heart. And seeing it again on his myspace got my so mad I broke down in tears. I sent him a text saying
"I don't know what the $%^& you and your friends are trying tp pull but it sure as hell hurts. And now I realize what kinda guy you are..."

I hate that picture becuase he left me before and went for this other girl and the fact that his friend would post a picture on there to get me mad makes no sense to me at all. Why is she being immature?




My question is what should I do?
I love him very much but if he's gonna have friends that oppose his happiness how can I tell him this?
I think that if his friends mean more than he should just end it with me before I get hurt worse?


Help?
Okay, your boyfriends "girl" friend, added you onto myspace and you denied?
She then posts a picture of him and his ex on his page, in a comment.
Have you ever thought, that maybe she likes him? Maybe he was telling you not to add her because he knew she would cause problems.
You have to think about it this way too, you can have him controlling you, I've been in a relationship like that, and they dont end well.
Yes, you have a right to be mad, if someone were to post a picture of my boyfriend and his ex on a page, I'd kill. Not that I have a myspace anymore.
You should talk to him, and tell him if he really cares about you that he shouldnt let his friends run all over you, and try to cause you two trouble.
If you feel like his friends mean more than you do, then yeah, maybe you should end it. Especially if he's treating you with no respect, and controlling you.

Hope I helped.

Q: when guys say they want a tight vagina, do they mean the actual inside or the vaginal lips?? Also if it means the lips then is there any way of making them tighter and less loose??
The lips of the vagina are going to be loose, on every girl.
They mean the actual inside, because it opposes pressure to the penis, making it stroke it tighter, and giving them more pleasure.

Q: For girls,

Where is the most attractive body part you think would be suitable for a tattoo on a guy?

forearm? biceps? shoulders? back? chest?

Definately not the biceps of your arm, thats for guys who THINK their tough lol.
The forearms nice, it just depends on what you get there.
Shoulders are DEFinately hott!
The center of your back is too.
Ehh, the chest, like the forearm, it just depends on what you get.

Hope I helped.

Q: stupid question, but i was just wondering, is lotion safe to use as lube? genital or anal? what could be some affects of using it?
Lotion as a lube.
I dont think its too safe. The oil in the lotion rubs into the condom, and eventually rub a hole in it!
Thats never good!
The lotion may break you or your partner out.
My best advice, buy some KYJelly, you can find it at any local drugstore.
Hope I helped.

Q: Ok I am pissed at my mom's new boyfriend. Cause it seems to me that he can not really committ to my mom. I know its not of my business but sometimes I feel that he is curious about me with things I dont want him to know about. And I feel like he thinks I am hot and I dont want him looking at me that way and when with hot I mean that is isnt in a way to compliment. I dont even want other man to do that.
Have you talked to your mom about this? If you feel that he is interested in you, I think you should talk to her. Explain why you feel this way. Maybe things will turn in your favor.
Hope I helped.
Goodluck.

Q: (F,18)
I gust started on the pill and its been a week after my period, but i am still kinda bleeding but its not like normal period bolld its browner is this gust imbetween bleeding that is from the change of horamones in my body? and yeah its the first time i have ever been on the pill. and this should go away withing 3 monthes or less of using the pill or will it stop sooner because it is really annoying. and i have also noticed that it has improved my moods but i've got major headachs from it as well..
If this is your first period while on the pill, yes, its very normal. It takes atleast two to three months for your period to regulate after starting the pill.

Q: I'm 16/f and a junior in high school. I like this guy in my class (he's a senior) and we're also officers of the same club. I talk to him every once in a while and we're acquainted but not really friends. He's really mature and professional (a big reason why I like him) and we're really polite with each other. So, its not really like a laid back relationship. But still, (it sounds stupid but it kind of makes a big deal to me) he high fives me sometimes for little things. I'm not the type to just ask people I'm not really close with to to hang out. Also,you should know, I've never had a boyfriend, never asked a boy out, and I've only had three crushes on boys including this one. Also, what set me off is that I found out this freshman likes him too. So now I know I may have some competition and I really have to do something. So, what do you think I should do to get closer with him in school? I'm not asking him out now, I've still not really talked to him that much and I'm not ready for doing something like that right now. How can I have a more laid back relationship w/ him and do you have any advice for flirting with a guy? I realize he's a senior and he's not gonna be around for a lot longer. So, if you can give me any advice at all that would be great! thank you so much.
Well you have to take into consideration, that he IS a senior, and the other girl that likes him is a freshman, thats 3 or 4 years difference, as I read, you said he's really mature; not many freshman I know are that mature. So, him being "grown up" you would think he would want the same thing in return. You definately have the advantage. Make sure he dont only think of you as a friend, and the high fiving deal, isnt a good start. Watch him, see if you can catch him lookin at you, when you all accomplish something, or whatever he gives you the high fives for, check his smile, is it a "Wow I really like this girl" smile or is it a "She's a cool kid" smile. As for getting closer to him in school, talk to him more. Your around him, start up a conversation, "Hey did you do over the weekend". Thats the only real way to get to know someone, talk to them. Maybe he'll even ask you out. As for flirting with him, if your good at dropping hints, you could do that. For example when your talking, dont just be regularly talking, put some of your flirtiness into it. Smile, ALOT. Laugh at all his jokes, even when they get lame.

This is about all I can advise. I'm sorry if I didn't give you what you needed. Happy Holidays!

Q: I'm going to Florida next monday and I was wondering if I could prevent getting my period with the birth control I'm on. This week (until sunday) I'm taking my last set of hormone pills. Then I start the placebo pills all next week. Should I not take these pills or is there no way that I have a chance of it not coming? And if that doesn't work, is there anything else I can do to prevent it? Thanks, 17/f.
If your sexually active, its not smart to mess with your pills, trust me, I've tried. When you mess with your pills, sometimes, you'll have a two week period, depending on how long you've been on the pills. If you've been on them a long time, your body is use to your period, and it will continue on its normal week, even if it does start the week before.
While in Florida, just wear tampons, that should be fine, and it dont hurt to get in water with them, it doesnt fill them up or anything.
Hope I've helped.

Q: I can't figure out which hairstyle looks best on me. I've tried mostly everything throughout the years.

Right now I have short wavy-ish hair. It's a little above my chin. It's more or less the same length. And I have bangs.

Is there anything I can do to make it look any better? Sometimes when after a shower, my hair dries more wavy like and it looks really nice but I don't know how to keep it that way. I'm not really good with curling or flat irons.

What kind of things would I need to use to make the curls stay?
Hairspray, Gel, Mousse.
After getting out of the shower, Scrunch your hair with the towel. After that, pick it out, never use a brush, it causes frizziness, spray a little bit of mousse in your hands, scrunch it into your hair. If you want your bangs to be straight, dry them with the blowdryer. Then blowdry your hair a little.
Hope I helped. Happy Holidays!
