what are some really summer-ey and awesome smelling perfumes or body sprays?? and how much/where do you put on? (link)
I use Ralph Lauren's COOL, that stuff smells SO summery to me, and I do one spray on right on the bottom of my neck. But since hair holds fragrance longer than skin, I'll spray some perfume in my hair, clap to disperse the alcohol, and rub a little in my hair. So my hair smells great all day long. :) Bath and Body Works has the most variety of AWESOME scents. Just like someone else said, I love Coconut Lime Verbana. Pearberry is sweet too. Hope I helped! Please rate me!

i've missed two periods, there's no way i'm pregnant, i've never had sex. is something wrong? i started them about 11 months ago now. (link)
DON'T WORRY. Irregular periods is just fine. For some, periods take a few years to become regular. I had that when I started my period, and after about...8 months I started to become regular. So don't worry, it's just the way your body's acting. Hope I helped!

I have long , black hair ( i'm asian ) , and fairly light skin . What colour should i streak my hair ( keep in mind that i'm only doing three thin streaks , because i'll need to hide this during shcool time )

- army green
- neon green
- electric blue
- turquoise
- purple
- any other suggestions ? (link)
Good question! I'd go with purple...or RED. My asian friend did red streaks (one right past her side burns on each ear, and two streaks in her middle layer of hair. She had three layers.) and that looked good. I just wouldn't do army green. But, I bet all of those colors would look good. Some great hair dye that comes in so many colors is Colour Rays by Loreal Paris. It comes in 5 shades too: Fuschia, Red, Copper, Blonde, and White. Just go here if you want to! http://www.lorealparisusa.com/frames.asp#haircolor/index.asp

hi, i am 15 and a female. I am very close to my friends, but lately two of them are fighing and one of them is lying to me. One of my friends told me that the other said something about me that was VERY hurtful. I confronted the friend that said this and he said that he DID NOT say it, but the other guy tells me that he really did say it about me. I don't have a clue who is lying to me and who is telling me the truth. It hurts to think that one of them is lying to me, but i really want to know who's lying to me. Please help :( How can i found out who is lying to me? (link)
Ahh, it's SO tricky when you have two close friends fighting- and you're in the middle! It's hard to figure out exactly who's lying to you. But I've seen this happen so many times, one friend says that the person their fighting with said something mean about the friend (who is you) that's friends with BOTH of them just because they want [you] to take their side. Tell them both how you feel. Say how (obviously) one of them is lying to you, and it really hurts. Tell them how them fighting is hard on you, because you want all of you to get along. ALSO, say how if they have something to say, say it to your face, not through another person. When it comes out through another person, you can never truly tell if it's true or not. Just ignore what they say if its like "Oh, well HE said this about you!" and such...eventually they'll get over whatever they're fighting about. But no matter what, don't take sides, and always listen to what they're saying- even if you think they're absolutely wrong. :) I hope I helped! Please rate me!

my friend steals small things like keychains and stuff and i dont really care but she stole from me twice! i dont kno wat 2 do i dont wanna confront her cuz its been a while and i dont want her 2 get mad at me cuz she is a really good friend except for the stealing from ur friends thing... so wat should i do? (link)
Confront her! Even though they're just small things...she's STILL stealing. And stealing's wrong...plus it's from YOU! And if SHE gets mad, pshh...you should. Stealing from you (even though its small stuff) is still wrong. A friend especially shouldn't steal from another friend. Confront her calmly and nicely. Tell her how you don't want you telling her this to ruin your friendship. But be honest and say how friend's shouldn't be stealing from friends. That's just a rule you don't break. Good luck! Hope I helped. Please rate me!

U answer really long questions.. but i liked what you said bout shampoo n conditioners 4 highlighted hair since i just got some pink highlights!! that will help me.. but where did u get those aveda n paul mitchell shampoos or w/e?? ur pretty 2! (link)
Yay! My first inbox! Heh, anyways, that's cool about your pink highlights! I got my Paul Mitchell shampoo and Aveda conditioner at Ulta. Go to www.ulta.com to check out everything they have...I love that store! I also get a lot of stuff on sale because I use the coupons they send me in their catalogue a lot. If you go to Ulta, subscribe! You'll sometimes get great deals. :)

ok, i have a pretty big room but u cant tell bcuz i have this HUGE dresser that takes up a whole wall and a huge queen sized bed that takes up a lot of space 2...and i want to get a smaller bed but my parents wont let me...i have posters all over my wall and i never wanna take them down, but what are some good ideas that i could use 2 make my room seem bigger? (link)
Big, fat horizontal stripes with paint reallly make the room look bigger! Big, meaning 2ft. stripes. I have a HUGE "antique" dresser thing that's HUGE, a queen bed, but no posters. What I do, I have big stripes on my walls, and it just seems to make the room look larger. If I had a lot of posters, I'd take down ones that I've had for a LONG time, unless I really loved 'em. I put my bed diagnol in a corner so that I doesn't take up so much of my floor space (considering I also have a desk, shelves, and vanity. Plus, I don't have a huge room. If I had posters, I'd put them on the wall across from the wall on which my dresser is place. That wall isn't taken up with stuff except for my vanity. I hope I hoped just even a little bit! Please rate me.

I work in a cinema and part of my job is to make sure that people don't talk or mess around because it disturbs the other customers.

It would help me a lot if you guys would say how you think I should react in the following circumstances.

1) Group of people talking,throwing popcorn.

2) Two people making out.

3)People walking up and down the aisles a lot.

4) Little kids sitting in the aisle because they're too short too see over peoples heads(against fire regulations)

5)People with their phones on(messes up the sound)

6)Teenage boys wanking in the back row(has happened to me before)

7)People waiting outside banging on the doors to come in whilst a films on.

8)People making obscene gestures/giving me verbal abuse.

9)Having a queue, knowing we are going to run out of seats.

10) Babies crying.

Could continue but I think I've given you the general idea-my job is hard work! (link)
1) I hate when people do rude things like throw popcorn and talk loudly! So no matter what, be stern. I NEED people like you to put other rude people in their place. :) For popcorn throwing, tell them to quit it immediately or that you'll have to kick them out. And if they're talking loudly, tell them that they're disturbing the audience, and they need to either stop, talk extremely quiet and only do that every so often, or leave.

2) Ha, well making out isn’t horrible. Just as long as no really sexual stuff is going about. If you’re getting a lot of complaints, just tell them how they're disturbing the audience trying to watch the movie and need to either go to a secluded area in the BACK row or leave.

3) Just as Marichan said, After it definitely seems like they're walking down the aisles too much, I would ask them politely if they need anything. (Such as, "Can I get you something?" or "May I help you Sir/Ma'am?") (Copied from her.) :)

4) If they're with their mom or dad, tell them politely that due to fire regulations (sounds more important than just saying "Due to rules...") , the kids cannot sit in the aisle. If the kids are alone, just nicely say how due to rules they can’t sit in the aisle. Say how they’ve done nothing, but it’s just a rule that needs to be followed by everyone.

5) If they're ON it, tell them to take it outside and finish, then come back in and turn it off. If not, just ask them to turn it off. I mean, some people are THAT stupid to keep their phones on in movie theaters even though before the movie they say "Please turn off all cell phones and beepers!" Hm, anyways.

6) Ew, gross! Well, considering how older men have gotten arrested, this is NOT allowed. Ask them to leave the theatre immediately. And be mean! That's just gross.

7) Just incase they're "dangerous" (haha) or something, get another employee and tell them to knock it off or else you'll call the police... (IDK about the police thing, but it sounds kinda scary. :) )

8) Pshh, just be really serious and stern, and say how that's not necessary. Don't stoop down though and be like "I'm kicking you out if you don't stop this." If they're really being extremely rude, calmy take them to your manager...or bring him to them.

10) Politely say how the baby is disturbing other viewers and that they need to take care/calm down the baby outside.

Hope I somewhat helped! Good luck with your job. Please rate me!

i need to lose weight ASAP!!!!!!!! i have to go swimming in late july hurry i need help! (link)
Okay, I know I have already used this on someone else about losing weight, but it'll work JUST as well with your case! I changed a lotta parts though. I wish ya luck when you go swimming! :)

Jog EVERY day. No if's and's or but's! Try and do one lap around your neighborhood (depending how large it is) or 30 minutes on the treadmill. It doesn't matter where, but walking is a great way to start out. Plus, exercise doesn't have to be a drag. Get some of your friends and play some basketball, tennis, or softball! Go swimming in the pool everyday or do jump rope! Those are great exercises. But no matter what, start exercising everyday, atleast 20-30 minutes of cardio will get you feeling and maybe even looking better.

Next, start (or keep) on a healthy diet. Whether it's the Atkins, South Beach, Sugarbusters, or your own diet- keep on it! With South Beach, you're s'posed to lose 8-14 pounds in the first two weeks. But, you *HAVE* to resist the urge to eat that cupcake or cookie. If you want to see results, it's gonna take some self-motivation and will power. And I mean, a LOT. Still, if you keep on a healthy diet that excludes most, hopefully all junk foods, makes you have good daily portions of fruits, veggies, protein, and (maybe even) carbs you'll be set. Make sure to keep hydrated with plenty of water!

Sincerely, Cammie


does anyone kno any good shampoo that makes highlights look better and/or healthy? i just got highlights and just wondered if u need any special kind of shampoo or anything. thx, erin (link)
Cheap: Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo/Conditioner for color-treated hair is good AND affordable. Use their fortifying deep conditioner 3 Minute Masque weekly to keep hair healthy. These both cost around $3 - $4, and are found at any drugstores or grocery markets.


Medium Priced (Brunettes): John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Light Reflecting Shampoo/Conditioner. This is only for brunettes, and you can choose your shampoo/conditioner in Amber to Maple (lighter shades) or Chesnut to Espresso. Shampoo is about $6 and $7 for conditioner, and are found at any drugstores or grocery markets. John Frieda also has other Brilliant Brunette products to keep hair shiny and healthy.

Medium Priced (Blondes): John Frieda Sheer Blonde Highlight Activating Shampoo and Instant Conditioner. The shampoo/conditioner, you can choose from Platinum to Champagne type of hair (lighter) to Honey to Caramel blondes. Shampoo costs about $6 and conditioner costs about $7, and are found at any drugstores or grocery markets. John Frieda also has other Sheer Blonde products to keep hair shiny and healthy.

"Expensive": For me, I use Paul Mitchell Color Protect Daily Shampoo and Aveda Color Conserve Conditioner. My shampoo cost me about $9 and my conditioner cost $11. You know, since I want my highlights to keep perty. :)

I hope I helped! Please rate me!

Hey guys,
Well heres the problem. My best friend of like forever, up and decides that smoking is more important than our friendship. it really hurts me to see her do it because i know the pain it caused her when her grandmother died of cancer just a few short years ago. She goes on about how she doesnt need a supervisor or someone telling her what to do, but i keep telling her that i only get on her back about it because i care. she doesnt seem to realize that im only trying to help. however, my help cant always be the answer. i am myself, an advice giver on this website, but sometimes you just need others' advice. if anyone has any advice, or anything at all i could say to my friend to help her, please let me know. im scared for her, and also for our friendship. please someone help me. (link)
Honestly, I'd be really grateful to have you as a friend. And I'm not sucking up either. You getting on her back is exactly what she needs. She should realize how you DO really care and also realize how smoking is SO horrible for her! She's gonna get yellow teeth, tons of wrinkles, bad lungs, and maybe even cancer if she keeps this habit up for a long time! I know that sounds extreme, but smoking is SUCH a hard habit to quick. My grandmother finally stopped smoking after 30 years...and I was amazed she hadn't gotten seriously ill from it. I know this sounds like it'll ruin your friendship, but if her mom/dad doesn't already know about your friend's BAD problem, they needa been informed. You as a friend can't do everything. Then be up and honest with her, and say how you're worried your friendship will end. Say EXACTLY how you feel! Say just what you told us advice people. Say how much it hurts you to see her smoke. Tell her that you're worried that she's just going to keep smoking and ruin her health. Tell her how much she means to you as a friend, and losing her because of cigarettes is crazy. Your friend obviously doesn't appreciate you trying to help. Here's just one website I found to (hopefully!) help.crazyworld=truth

http://www.thetruth.com/index.cfm?

I really hope that you're friend realizes the dangers she's putting on her life. It might not be within a few years, but if she keeps it up, it'll all start showing. I hope she realizes how lucky she is to have a friend that's trying to help her. I hope I somewhat helped! Please rate me.

ok i am in deep shit because i lied to the kid that i REALLY like and told him that i had a boyfriend and i don't. i feel really stupid about the whole thing. what do i do? (link)
Easy, just always be honest! Just tell him the truth and say you're sorry about lying to him. I mean, if you told him you had a boyfriend, you might (now for some, they'd leave this out) tell him WHY you did. Then, never lie to him (or anyone!) again. But make sure you say how you're truly sorry, and hopefully (if he is a nice guy) will understand. Good luck! :) Please rate me!

my room really bites. any ideas on how 2 make it cooler? thx, muah! erin (link)
I'd first get an awesome wall color. Pick one that COMPLETELY suites you. Excluding white! That really makes the room soo boring unless you get one heckuva colorful bedspread and objects in your room. Put stuff that you know you wont use but want to still keep in the attic. Then get rid of old stuff that you never even liked, broken stuff, and/or junk that just clutters your room and you know you wont use. That just makes the room less cluttered (if that's a problem.) I don't really know just how your room bites, but mine was that it had an old color I liked when I was little, it was cluttered, I had a pretty (but now that I was older I didn't want it) border, and it was just lame to me. So, I painted it a bold and bright color, got a new bedspread with lotsa pillows, got rid of stuff and stored things in the attic, and bought some cute stuff for it! 'Nuff about me though. If I were you, I'd also go to the store and get an awesome poster, or cute pillows to pile on your bed, or a cute clock, or rope lights and attach/staple them to the top most point of your room (where the wall meets the ceiling.) Go out and buy palm tree lights, or paint your room with multi colors! It's seriously endless. If I knew what made your room suck I'd have more to say and suggestions. But that's all I can think of for now. Hope that sparked some ideas! Please rate me!

I must run a 10km race at the end of September, but I have never in my life ran more than 2km!

Could anyone help me with advice on how to prepare for the race. I started on Monday(21/06) by jogging/walking 2.2km each day.
When should I start doing more kilo's and when can I run my first 10km to prepare for September?

Regards (link)
That's AWESOME how you're doing a 10k race! :) That's a great goal to try and get to...of course, it'll take some major self-motivation to get there. I do quite a few sports, and running long distance is one of them. That's good how you're starting out with 2.2km though. Considering you have about 2 months to train, you have some time...but still, 2.2 to 10 is a big difference!

First, drink a TON of water every night before bed. I mean, a TON. You should feel like your whole stomach is bloated with water. Sleep, wake up, and don't drink or eat ANYTHING!! Do not...a big no no if you eat or drink a THING. You shouldn't even have a gulp of water. Do some stretches (including arm stretches...people tend to forget those.) Then run your heart out! While running, always think of your goal. That tends to make me push harder. Try to run earlier in the morning also. It's not as hot, and it's easier on your (if you have them) allergies. After you run, do the stretches you previously did before you ran. Do that EVERY day, but push up the distances you run! If you really pushed yourself while running, you shouldn't be able to talk without taking deeep breathes. (It's usually like that for everyone that I run with...I'm panting if I pushed myself REALLLLY hard!) Try and bump up your distance 0.2 every two days. But no matter what, you have got to push yourself to the limit. Use up your potential and sprint that LAST stretch before you finish running. Eventually, you're going to get really awesome if you push yourself while running everyday. I wish you the BEST of luck! *Crosses fingers* I hope I help...please rate me!

There is this guy i wanna see over the summer but he doesnt have a sn and im wayyy to shy to call him what should i do? (link)
Well...does he have email? (Sorry if that's a blonde question!) If he doesn't, you have to think, is he one to make fun of you just because you don't know what to talk about on the phone? Then think of the WORST possible thing that could happen if you called him. Then think of the best! You never know what will happen if you just call him up. Maybe right now he's thinking, "If only I had the guts to call her up." You never know! I say go for it. But before you call him up, think of some stuff to talk about. Whether your plans for summer, your schedule, your teachers, cool movies, favorite sports...think of SOME things to chit-chat about. You know, just incase he doesn't talk much.

And if you're ABSOLUTELY too shy to call him on the phone, 3-way with a friend, or call him at a friends house, OR when a friend comes over to your's! You never know what he'll say until you actually call him up. I hope I helped! Please rate me!

Sincerely, Cammie
