Hey. I'm Isabella. I'm the best advice giver out there, so ask me tons of questions and keep me busy. I love all of you.

Ok, so I have a plantars wart on teh bottom of my foot.

I've had it for awhile now, and I have been using Compound W.

It's kind of working but not well.

I'm really just wondering, if I get it frozen off, if it will hurt, being a plantar wart in all.

Any personal expierience[Sp?] would be good.

Thank yous. [:

I had two planters warts on my feet! My neighbor told me to use duck tape. And then my dad got some medicine from CVS to make them go away. I'm not sure how much it was, but I'm pretty sure it was cheap. If you only use duck tape alone, it will take a LONG time, so I'd suggest going to your local pharmacy and getting some kind of ointment. I've never gotten it frozen off, so I don't know how it feels, but I've heard it hurts but it comes off really quick!! Hope I helped. ♥

i have an interview with academy sports and outdoors tomaro @ 11:00. is it okay to wear jeans? or should i go for something a little nicer?
thanks.
♥BLAiR

I think a casual skirt would be better. Jeans are REALLY casual, and they might be really picky on how you dress. So to be on the safe side, a medium length skirt would be perfect! Don't try too hard or they will be able to notice! Hope I helped! ♥

okay so my boyfriend is a little younger than me and hes not a virgin .. and hes cheated in the past .. but i just found out about all this today from his bestfriend .. so what should i do? .. i really dont like the fact that hes not a virgin .. and he just turned 14 .. so HELP !!


thnks chasity x

I think he's rather young to have sex, and if he's already had it with some other girl, sooner or later he might want to try it with you. You probably won't be ready yet, and it might be an awkward stage for you. So you have to decide what you would do if he ever brought up sex with you. If you can't even decide how you would respond to him, he may be a little too "advanced" for you. And don't worry that's NOT a bad thing! But of course, if you love him that much, then you shouldn't care if he's a virgin or not. Maybe it was a mistake he made in the past, and everyone makes mistakes and you shouldn't judge your relationship on one bad judgement.

And you say he hasn't cheated on you, am I correct? Well, how do you know for sure? Once again, you can't tell if a guy is cheating on you because obviously, he wouldn't TELL you if he was cheating. Like they always say, once a cheater, always a cheater. I'm not saying he's cheating on you or ever will, but you should give it a second thought. I would advise having a one on one talk with him. Tell him you're concerned that he's cheated on other girls and you don't want him to cheat on you. If you say it in a nice, orderly fashion, he should give you a good answer. People say they won't cheat again, but it's a hard habit to break. Over 75% people who have cheated on someone else, will do it again several times in their life.

Well, I hope I helped! ♥

saw you added me as a fave, so i added you back.
BUT I ALSO HAVE A QUESTION>>i was reading your questions, and you were talking about fake purses. well i only buy real ones, and how do you tell if ones reaal ornot?

Alicia -- o0xs0ochic

It's hard to tell if a purse is real or fake because people these days can make knockoffs that look exactly like the real thing. Well, obviously the quality of the real one will be a little better. So if the quality is cheap looking, then it's fake. Also, search the purse you want on google and print it out and if you see it in NY and you want to know if it's real, take out the picture you printed and see if they look exactly the same. If there's any differences, then it's fake! Also, you can easily tell it's fake without looking at it when someone claims to tell you that they have a real Coach or Louie bags when they are selling them for $20!! If you bought the bag for $500 and then sold it for $20 you'd be LOSING money. If it was real, they would be selling it for the price they are in the stores! It's like getting a real diamond ring for over $1000 and then selling it for $35! It would be REALLY stupid, and no one is that stupid when it comes to money. So basically you can tell by the prices *sometimes.*

But if you only buy real bags, then instead of going to a flea market or NY, go to the designer store! Like go to the Coach store or D&B store so you KNOW that they are real! Don't take the chance that it's real if you arn't sure!

Okay, I really hope I helped! If not, sorry. :)

that is sooo amazing! i cannot wait! so do they have like coach, or chanel sunglasses and coach bags that look like the real thing? i know i won't want to leave bc i def. obsess over anything thats designer lol do they have tiffany and co necklaces and stuff too?

Yeah, they have all of the designer purses, sunglasses, and necklaces. (Coach, Dooney and Bourke, Tiffany, Chanel, Burberry, Louis Vuitton and all that other good stuff!) They have Juicy Couture sweatshirts and they range from $40-$50 and they are very very cute! They also have Rolex watches! My mom got a Rolex for $15! Of course, the watches are obviously fake just like everything else. But I promise you, anything that you buy that's good quality, will look exactly like the real thing. They put the same zippers and everything and nobody can tell the difference. You're going to be saving lots of money at Canal Street because you could get a real Coach for $400 and get the fake one for $25-$30 and you can't even tell the difference between the real and the fake! Make sure you bring a lot of money, because there's so many different shops and stores, you're going to be spending A LOT!! Once again, HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!

hey everyone! i need some advice. =] for my first time ever i am going to new york city. and i want to go to canal street. i heard it has tons of imitation tiffany and co. coach, etc. & i needed advice on if its dangerous to go to this street and if there are any certain stores that have like the best chanel purses or sunglasses? and how can i get the real stuff on that street? thanks I RATE 555555555's!!! xoxo

I went to Canal Street last week! I came home with tons of stuff, so if you're interested in designer sunglasses and purses, you will absolutely LOVE Canal Street and trust me, you won't wanna leave.

It can be very dangerous. The people who hang out around there are kinda scary. When I went, everyone was Chinese and talking in a different language so I was kinda scared, haha. And a lot of the people are scary looking with tons of tattoos, they all smoke, and the people arn't the "nicest" people around either. But think about it... Any place in the whole entire world you go to, is dangerous. Even schools are dangerous with alchohal and drugs! But just stay close to your guardian or whoever you're going with, and don't talk to anyone you don't know and deffinitely DON'T start fights, and you will be fine.

I went in every store in Canal Street, and everyone claims that they sell the "real" stuff, but trust me, every bag you see is going to be a knock-off. They might look real and the person selling it will swear that it's an "official" designer bag, but they're all fake. If you want the real stuff, you have to go to the official store like the Coach store.

The prices are really good, and you can try to get the prices lower and bargain for a cheaper price, and sometimes if their desperate enough, they will give you the item for $10 less then what they started with. Even though they're knock-offs, they're still a really good price and they make great gifts!! I got a fake chanel back there for $20!! All my friends ask me if it's real because they make them look so real.

If it's a good price, just buy the bag because not many people can tell that it's fake unless it's really junky, and you wouldn't buy a junky purse in the first place.

The sunglasses are really junky. Well, atleast where I bought mine. Watch out for the sunglasses. If you're going to buy a pair, try them on and feel them to make sure they are sturdy and stuff, because mine broke before I even left Canal Street.

Ohhhkaay, wow I really got carried away! I'm sorry for my long response, but trust me I love Canal Street and I'm hoping to go back sometime next month! Have lots of fun, and I hope you get some really nice stuff! If you want to know about anything else before you go there, contact my inbox please!

I like this guy and he knows it. We dont know eachother that well. My situation with him is really uncomfrotable because once he found out from my friend he told all his friends and now they stare at me. One of his friends(I swear to god this boy is gay and wants my crush) is ruining every chance that i even had with him. He shouts out "there she is!" "or go say hi" or "Oooohhh" or something equally stupid.Well at first it was cute b/c he would just stand up and smile at me and he was always blushing now its pretty lame cause his friend even got tampons then threw it at my crush and yelled "its from your girlfriend". Now its harder to talk to him he still looks at me but so do all of his friends and it makes me nervous he is never ever alone. If i even come near his one really annoying friend will definately embarass me. What should i do? Also I have no idea what to say to him so if you could give me some tips in case i ever do get him alone.

Wow, hunny this is a tough one. Uh... Does he have a screen name? If he does, talk to him online and tell him that you really like him but his friends are just getting in the away and tell him that his friends need to stop! If he doesn't have AIM, ask one of his friends or him what his number is. Call him and tell him how you feel. If he's always with his friends, then motion to him to come over to you. If his friends tag along, whisper in his ear that you need to talk to him alone and give him a little wink. Or slip him a little note saying that you need to see him without anyone else. And when you do get him alone, look him straight in the eye and tell him that you like him a lot but you feel that his friends are ruining everything and getting in the way. I'm sure he feels the same way, and if he likes you back he will tell his friends to back off a little. He seems like a sweet guy, so don't be scared to go up to him because if you don't, you could be missing out on a really great guy. So find some confidence and either talk to him online, on the phone, or in person. Talking to him in person would be the biggest turn-on because he's right in front of you and he'll be reminded how pretty you are. ;) Haha. I hope I helped. I'm not sure if I gave you enough info. but atleast I tried! If you want to ask me another question go ahead.

ok well im 11 and i just started my period....like a week ago.... well ive only been wearing pads and i recently just tryed using tampons but they hurt sooooooo bad! do you know why? and what could i do to prevent this.. cause also my friend started hers and shes a swimmer so she started right away with a tampon and i dont know what to do?

Well, first of all, are you sure you inserted it in correctly? The next time you do it, read the back of the box and step by step follow every word it says and don't leave ANYTHING out. Also, did you try to put it in when you were off your period? NEVER insert a tampon when you're not on your period because you need to be wet "in there." So don't put in the tampon until you're on your period and it will slide in MUCH easier. You could always try a different brand of tampons, because some tampons are made to go in more easier. You could always talk to your mom or friend and help them teach you how to put it in. Because the first time a lot of girls put it in wrong and that's why it hurts. Well, at least try my advice and tell me if it works. Hope I helped. ♥

my friend has been leaving me out a little lately. liek usually if i go somewhere, i invite her. well this weekend she is going to this girls house (her friend) i don't really know this girl and i dont' mind her but.. i just feel left out. i can't tell her i feel that way though cause its complicated. but what can i do to get over this feeling or something?

The best thing to do is to find a new group of friends. As soon as she sees that you've moved on, she'll come running back to you hoping you'll be her best friend again. Just go up to someone nice that you can trust, and ask them if they want to hang out. If they sure, then you've got yourself a new friend. You probably have more friends then just her, so just hang out with the other people you're not as close with so you can become more friendly and better friends with them.

But just a question, why can't you talk to her? She probably would understand if you explained to her how you feel. Communication is a really good way to let things out. I would atleast attempt to hint to her that you feel left out. It couldn't hurt now could it?

I know what you're going through right now. Everyone's experienced it atleast once in their life. I'm a communication person, so I handled the situation by talking it out, but of course if you feel that you don't want her to know how you feel about all of this, then just take the advice of my first suggestion, and hang out with different people.

There's not much else you can do, but don't cry over one single person. If you lose her as a friend, your life isn't over and I'm sure you have plenty of other friends you could hang out with. So don't pull your hair out over this.

Hopefully, your friend will notice that her behavior isn't the right way to act. Just keep being nice to her, but don't hang out with her as much.

Hope I helped.

Well I just started shaving my legs, but my arms are like so hairy! My mom said to not shave my arms, but is there a way to get rid of the hair??

You could wax them. Waxing keeps the hair away longer than shaving does. Or you could bleach them. That only makes the hair a lighter color so it's less noticable. I would suggest Nair. You just rub it on your arm and the hair comes off. If you go to any CVS or Wallgreens, you will find it. I'm not sure how much it will be because it ranges from state to state.

Waxing would hurt the most, but its really good to get the hair off. With bleaching, the hair wouldnt really be coming off it just makes it lighter, and some people say Nair burns. So they all have their ups and downs, so it's your personal preference on what you want to use.

Hope I helped.

If you have further questions then feel free to ask.

My jaw makes a dull click sound every time I yawn. Is this just going to go away after a while, or should I be more concerned and go to the doctors?

This just means that you are cracking your jaw. It's basically the same thing as cracking your knuckles, neck, back, wrist, ankles etc. but it's just a different body part. The sound you here is the bones rubbing together. Try not to do it a lot because cracking any part of your body is not "good" for you. It's not bad, but you know the saying of how cracking your knuckles *might* give you arthrides, so maybe cracking your jaw could cause a problem. Of course the whole arthrides thing is just a myth, and might have been used to get people to stop doing it because the sound was annoying, but people swear that they've had problems from cracking body parts too much. If you'd like to be on the safe side, you could always see a doctor. It never hurts. Better safe then sorry. I wouldn't be too concerned about your jaw and have it the top thing on your list, but going to the doctors would always be the safe thing to do. If you'd like more information about cracking your jaw I did a little research for you and found a site. ( http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/18681 ) If you'd like another site then just go to google or another search engine and type in "cracking your jaw" and it will come up with tons of stuff! Best of luck and if you have more questions then just ask me in my inbox. :)

I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on activities to do with my 8 year old daughter this summer. All she seems interested in is watching TV or playing with her cousin, who is 10. We read together at night but usually she falls asleep right away. I've tried to get her interested in cooking, but I'm not much of a cook myself. Can anyone give me some ideas?

There's tons of things you can get your daughter interested in. If you take her to a stable, she can start horseback riding, which most animal lovers enjoy. If you want her to participate in something in the cooking area, you could find a camp that teaches cooking. Take her to a waterpark so she can cool off while having a blast. To get her into reading, bring her to the library a couple of times a month and have her pick out some good books to read. Sign her up for some camps. Dance camps, soccer camps, softball camps, or whatever she's interested in. Take her bowling if it rains one day, to keep her busy. Bring her to an amusement park, which would really be good if you lived near Disney or Six Flags. Go to a public pool in you're area, and she can get swimming lessons and if she's a good swimmer then she can get advanced swimming lessons. Golf is always a relaxing sport. Or go to a tennis court and play a game of tennis with her. If you live near the ocean, then spend a day at the beach. Or if you don't live near an ocean, then take her to a lake or pond. You could always take her and a few friends camping. Or take her on vacation whether it's a city away or to a whole different country, whatever suits you best. Let her spend a day at a spa or get her nails and makeup done so she can see what it's liked to get pampered. Get a trampoline, because kids LOVE them. Take her to a nearby mall and have a shopping spree. Take her out to lunch at her favorite restaurant. Spend an hour or two at an arcade such as Chuckie Cheese's. If you live near a bike path, you guys could have some quality time and ride bikes. Go to a park and bring some bread so she could feed the ducks. Picnics are always fun!! If she has good behavior, treat her by a trip to the toy store. Buy a pair of skates and roller blade around your neighborhood. Go to a nearby zoo so she can learn about all of the different types of animals. Lazer tag is always fun, although I'm not sure if they have it where you live. Buy some arts and crafts from Michaels, and have her paint you a bird house or make something. If she's an animal lover, you could always spend a day at a farm. Whether you like the Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, Marlins, Giants etc. there's always a baseball team by you so you could buy tickets and see a ball game. Museums are always fun, whether it's a science museum or a historic one, there's always plenty to see. Find a public playground and let her explore it. Find a track and run it with your daughter to keep your heart rate going and to keep in good shape! It really all depends what your daughter is interested in, so pick some of the activities that I listed above that she might like. You could even write them all down and have her pick out all of the ones she would be interested in. If you have any more further questions, please do not hesitate to ask me in my inbox. It's always a pleasure to know that people like my advice enough to ask me a question. :) Best of luck to you and your daughter and hopefully you now know what activities to engage in when your daughter is bored and in need of something to do besides watch television. Television isn't good so remember to limit her hours of watching it!! :)

ok this is sort of personal but i don't care who answers it because i really need help. i'm fourteen years old and have a boyfriend that's been off and on for over a year. but we're so close now and are in love..no matter who says were "too young" we've gone pretty far in our relationship already, but not a home run. we've talked about going all the way before...but i'm not sure if i'm ready. sometimes i want to, but then i realize i'm only fourteen and shouldn't even think about wanting to. i'm risking a lot if i did this, but if we love each other is it worth it? so can someone whos experienced in this kind of stuff please help? cause i really need it.. thanks.

You are not ready for sex. Why may you ask? Well, when you're ready for sex, you won't be uncertain and you will know that this is the right thing to do. When you are second guessing yourself and thinking about your age, then you're just letting yourself know that you're not yet ready! You have you're whole life to have sex, so enjoy being a virgin while you can. Rushing into a sexual relationship is the worst thing you could do. You're only 14. Even if you use birth control and a condom, there's still a slight chance that you could get pregnant. Would you get an abortion or would you keep the baby? That's what you have to decide. And what if your boyfriend and you break up? I know you say you're "in love" but that could easily change. You guys could get in a big fight or find out he was cheating on you or using you, anything could happen and you could break up. That's the risk of having sex so young. Just remember, DON'T have sex until you know inside that you're ready. If you're scared about it or un sure, then you're not mature enough yet. And you're boyfriend will understand if you're not ready. Best of luck and I really hope I helped you.

I have always kinda had seld esteem issues, all of my friends are gorgeous and i feel like i am the ugly duckling. You know in movies how their is a group of pretty girls and then they have an ugly friend, and one guy has to "take one for the team" and hang out with her.....i feel like that girl.

Its not that i'm fat, (5'9, 110 pounds) i know i'm not fat, i just never feel pretty.My friends tell me i'm pretty but i feel like that doesnt count because they cant call me ugly, i'm their friend. Any advice to boost my self esteem?

Just remember that you can't change who you are so you have to learn how to live with yourself. Everyone has something that they don't exactly "like" about themselves, but the reason you don't always notice that is because they have confidence. You have to be your own best friend. If you don't like yourself, then how can you expect anyone else to? Just go out there and live your life like you're the hottest girl in the world. If you act like you have a lot of confidence, then you'll be treated more with respect. You need to stop complaining about your looks, because honestly there's nothing you can do. Unless you want plastic surgery, then eventually you will have to learn that looks isn't everything. Think about all of the good things about you. What are some sports you're good at, or what are some talents that you have? Think about all of the achievements in your life. Leave out all of the negative things and fill your mind with the good qualities you have, and you'll feel much better. Don't criticize yourself because soooner or later if you haven't already, you'll find some people who will think you're really pretty. Just remember that people should not be judged on their appearence, but on their personality. You could look great, but if you're a bitch then you're the ugliest person in the world. If you're average looking but a sweet person, then people will like you because of how you treat them.

Hope I helped. Keep these tips in mind. :)

okay i was just wondering if you had sex before my period and then had my period if you could get pregnant. or does having your period mean that u are not?

If you have your period, you are perfectly safe and you are NOT pregnant. You could always take a pregnancy test if you really want to be cautious though. :)

Hey. It really depends on the guy. I'm pretty sure about almost all guys want atleast some of it shaved off. Because come on, they deffinitely don't want a bush down there. So I think you should decide what you're most comfortable with. If you're nervous about shaving it down there and you're afraid that he might think it's weird that its all shaved off, then you could use a pair of scissors and trim it down a lot. But if you're concerned that he might be turned off by any pubic hair, then just shave it all off. If you're going to shave it all off, make sure you use a sharp razor and A LOT of shaving cream so you don't get razor burn. Your best bet would be to shave it all off, because he might get grossed out if there's hair down there. But don't be concerned too much because I'm sure if he's fingered other people before then he's probably dealt with people who shaved it all off and people who just trimmed it. I truly hope I helped and if you need more help then contact my inbox.
