I need to get my upper lip waxed... but the thing is, what happens if you get it waxed a couple of times and then you stop waxing it? Will it grow back even worst? I DO NOT want to just leave it. If waxing isn't that good of an idea, what other options do I have to make it unnoticeable?

it grows back the same as before. you will just notice is it more because its actually there. it works really well.

I have 6 friends to buy Christmas presents for, and I know I have at least 100$ to spend, but I don't want to spend ALL that!! Can you help me think of gifts to buy for each of them that are under 10$? I'll tell you a little about each person...
Kaylee- Likes sparkles, but is sporty, and lovesss good movies!
Rachael- Very girly, and loves pink!
Scotlyn- Somewhat girly, and likes glitter, etc.
Summer- Loves to READ! She loved the book "Blue is for Nightmares".. If you've read it, that's the kind of books she likes!
Hannah- Girly.. likes makeup!
Kassy- Likes tinkerbell and monkies, and frogs.

I need to buy them each something 10$ or under! Please help me!

I'm also not sure what to get my mom. I don't really have a price limit on her, but I know I'm getting her a candle and a snowglobe. I'm just not sure what else to get her!

i would suggest..
kaylee-some sparkly makeup, workout bag, cute sweatpants
rachael-perfume, lipgloss/nailpolish, a cute wallet
scotlyn-lipgloss, comfy scarf, winter hat
summer-$10 gift card to barnes and noble or any bookstore
hannah-purse, lipgloss/nailpolish, bracelet
kassy-the disney store has tons of tinkerbell things, i would get her something there. or aeropostale has cute things with monkeys and frogs on it. (socks, undies, shirts)
mom-something that will mean a lot to her. a picture of you two and a nice letter telling her why you love her and merry christmas and all that.

i really hope this helps you and good luck.

p.s. for the most part, you can find all this stuff at target. = )

my brother (older by a year) says if I dont get bf IM a loser, his geeky friend on the bus even got one before I did and my little sis did before me too and my lil bro might get one before me too and I have never had my first kiss ither and I really want one too.and I need to know if I want to start a conversation with a guy and how to flirt keep on talking to him.

aww dont worry youre not a loser because youve never had a boyfriend. everyone gets theirs at different times. just because you havent had one yet doesnt mean youre a loser, it just means a good enough guy hasent come along yet. when your talking with a guy just be yourself! be fun, be flirty, smile a lot. make eye contact. seem very confident (even if youre not at the time, try to act like it) because guys can really tell when a girl is nervous. dont be shy. just have fun with it! i hope this helps you.

K so, what does this mean Pon de Replay?

It's the song Pon de Replay by Rihanna.

its slang for barbadians, jamaicans, and other caribean people. it means to play the song again. pon means "on" so the phrase is translated as "on the replay."

i didnt know what category this would go in so i just put it here

ok well im 13/f and when i try to remember happy times in my life, like family vacations and stuff all i remember is bad times i can remember every bad thing that has ever happened to me but i cant remember the good things.. does any one know why

as bad as it sounds, usually bad times stand out way more then the good. try looking at old pictures to help you out.

find some new friends. go shopping. have a party. invite some girls over. go get a massage or your nails done. anything to keep your mind off it. a good going away gift could be a framed picture of you two or a scrapbook filled with memories and pictures.

cheer up. = )
