Q: My tampon gets stuck ALL the time so I need some good brand names so Im not soo embarassed when I go to the bathroom...HELP PLEASE!!!
the fact that your tampon is getting stuck doesn't have that much to do with the brand. what you need to do, is find a smaller tampon and make sure that the tampon is getting soaked. if it's not wet enough, it's going to get stuck and pulling it out will HURT. so just make those changes, and i'm sure it'll be fine. (in case you still wanna change brands, tampax is good)

Q: What are the codes to use on Xanga to Bold,underline,italicize certain words? And if there are any other cool nifty things you know, ifyou could leave those also
well, haha i don't really know about any nifty things but here's how you can make the text bold. type whatever you want, highlight it and press Ctrl B at the same time. for underlining, it's the same except, change the B to a U and to italicize, Ctrl I. hope that helps! :)

Q: Ok, I've been going to private school for 9 years, and for the first time I will be going to public. I'm really freaked out. Is public school really as bad as everyone says? I mean do people like actually get beaten up and raped? and how do I protect myself? How do I know who to hang out with? Please help me.
public school is perfectly fine! (..well, unless you live in a REALLY bad area) there'll be some changes.. more crowded, different way of teaching, etc but it's nothing out of the ordinary. you'll be fine. the first day of school, try to make some conversation with someone that seems nice and just take it from there. it's not that bad! :) good luck!

Q: hey..
I have kind of a darker brunette color and im looking to dye my hair blonde. i want like a golden blonde.. or like britney spears in her my perogative video. the problem is that my mom said if i go to a pro to do it i have to pay for it myslef. and i really had my heart set on getting some new things for school. So if anyone knows any good brands of "do it yourself" dyes that actually work to dye brunette hair blonde.. id really appreciate it. and please dont say im stupid for wanting to dye my hair blonde.. caz im sick of the same old same old.. and i really need this. So please please give me some good brands that will work! thanks in advance.
awww.. well truth be told.. doing it yourself won't really work. been there, done that. if you have dark brown hair/black and try to dye it blonde by yourself, most likely it will turn reddish/orange.. that is unless you somehow manage to bleach your hair and THEN dye it blonde, which i really wouldn't recommend because you could really screw up your hair.. but maybe someone else will do it for you? good luck! :)

Q: idk how to scrunch hair! i really lik how it looks i need to kno what product(s) work best and whats the best way to do it...
gracias
okayyy.. first off it all kinda depends on what kind of hair you have. if it's too straight.. i doubt you'll be able to scrunch it, but if it's regular/wavy, it's really easy! when you get out of the shower, comb your hair and take some hair gel that's especially for curls (i recommend john frieda's frizz-ease stuff) put it all over your hair and just start scrunching it. that should do it.. but if it doesn't, after doing all that (but while your hair is still wet) get some of this cream: it's called recoil by AG and it's a curl activator. take a little bit on your palm, and just scrunch your hair a little bit. that stuff works WONDERS :)

Q: my bf && i have pretty much made if a habit to talk everynight past midnight. i have my cell on vibrate (i have free min) & he calls from his house. we hadnt gotten caught after 3 nights of that but today when my dad woke me up, he saw the phone on my bed & asked why so i said it vibrates at night b/c i was still half asleep. i dont know what else to tell him if he asks! ok so we are on a plan that we share and he pays...will the time & number of the call show up on the bill? please help! any info is important!!
haha yeahhh most likely it will show up. you could tell him the truth and try to work it out with your dad.. or you could lie? tell him that you're only friends with this guy and that he's going thru a tough time and he needed someone to talk to. good luck! :)

Q: i litterally always wear my hair the same way up and in a ponytail..i like having it up and out of my face though..i have long thick wavy curly hair..any ideas on what i can do and how?
you can try straighting your hair. it really helps a lot, and it feel so different. i promise that you'll love it! let me know if you need help picking out a hair straightner! :)

Q: well i was wondering if ny1 knew any good spray/cream anything that i could use to put in my hair before or after i straighten it so its smooth. i have like black curly curly hair.or something to help it so its not so fried help! thnx //♥
well.. first off, you should try a shampoo that helps straighten hair. there's a bunch so i'm sure you will find it. second, go look for creams/sprays by john frieda. there are many things that you can use, so just look around and see what would help you out. that stuff works wonders though so definitely check it out.

Q: Does Abercrombie and Fitch ever have clearances? Thanks!
yesss!! usually they're all the way in the back by where the fitting rooms are. look around, some stuff can be pretty cheap! :)
♥ ♥ ♥ daniella

Q: can someone please tell me some cheap stores that i can get really cute clothes from?!? especially jeans! and what kind of make-up should i wear i have lite brown/dark blonde hair and blue eyes thanks
go to charlotte russe, forever 21, and even stores like target and kohls. they might not sound all that great but they can have some pretty cute stuff. also, go to stores like hollister and american eagle, if you look around, you will find tees, shorts and stuff like that on sale. and about the makeup question.. if your eyes are small, then use eyeshadow that you make your eyes seem bigger.. colors like light pink or white are good. if your eyes are just a normal size, eyeliner and eye shadow that matches your clothes would look pretty cute. whatever you do, just don't over do it. there's nothing worse than a girl with a cake face.

Q: can someone give me some websites that have icons that i can use for xanga plz?? thanks

Q: I want to add music to my xanga but i don't know what to type when it says "music" then u type a URL. I don't really care what song it is, I just want to see if it will work, so could someone give me an example of what to type because i just don't get it.
go to xanga.com and go to the blogrings and type music codes. from there you will get to a lot of people that have music codes. you will see a list of songs/artists so just left click on the link of the song you want, click 'copy shortcut' and paste that in your look & feel music url.

Q: My friend is really fake. She used to be nice, but recently she has changed for the worse. She always talks about people, and I have told her to stop, because how do I know she is not talking about me behind my back. I want to be her friend, but it is getting ridiculous. I am so fed up with her, cause when I tell her how I feel she tries to turn it on me!Please help, I am going crazy here.
wow been there, done that. you need to have a conversation with this girl and tell it to her like it is. tell her that she is fake, and eventually she is going to end up with no friends. if she tries turn it on you, this girl is obviously not your friend, so just tell her to go be fake with someone else and move on!

Q: Already i might seem like a COMPLETE LAME for asking this.. im not a real computer person at all.. i only get on it to help people on this site or to do homework.. i wanted to know what is XANGA everybody mentions it on this site and i have no freakin clue what it is.. so if you explain to me ill be happy to rate high.. loves ya!
xanga is an online journal. is pretty cool because you can make your page whichever way you want, you can talk about yourself, join groups of people that have the same interests as you, leave comments on other people's entries and even make some friends. you can post pictures, have music, etc. go to xanga.com and make a user name! you never know, you might like it :)

Q: i like this guy a lot. i use to like his best friend, and i still kind of do, but im kind of starting to like him more. and my friends witch are his friends say that he likes me too, but hes really shy, and im not sure if i want to belive them, because he ust doesnt seem like he likes me, but hes friends keep saying he does. and im not sure hat to do. because im not sure if he will tell me he likes me because he is so shy, and im afarid to tell him i like him, and have him not like me and i will feel stupid. thanks so much
b!!
there's two things you can do. start hanging out with him and try to see what's up or just confront him. you need to be more straight forward though because otherwise you will never get with a guy.
♥ ♥ ♥ daniella

Q: I need some help do you think that I guy should like you for who you are or what you look like
a guy should most definitely like you for who you are. sure, looks will help but looks don't last forever. also, if a guy just likes you based on your looks, you won't last very long together. relationships and even friendships are not based on what you look like. they're based on the person, their personality, their interests. :)

Q: i wasnt sure which category this should go in so i just put it in this one. anyways..does anybody know who to get a rid of nervousness? i have it really bad that i think im going to throw up!
well, first off.. just try to think about something that makes you feel good. think of all the good things around you and just think of what it will be like when you get this thing that you're nervous about over with. also, look at it this way.. what you're feeling nervous about, most likely someone felt nervous about it too, so just know that you're not alone, and you will get thru it. think of happy things and just try to relax.
