I really need to start taking my own advice.

advice

im 14 and ive been straightening my hair since like 12 1/2. so its been like 2 years kinda.. well like what hair straightening does.. it fried my hair. and i also blow dry it every day.. and its REALLY bad, like its poofy and its like dry.. but once i straighten it it looks kinda healthy, and not so poofy. so i was wondering what could i do to get my hair back to healthy.. you dont understand how POOFY it gets when i get out of the shower.. so if i like blowdried my hair on cool(not the high heat, like cold heat) and not straighten it as much, would that help? what things could i do so it will become healthy again? and im sorry its so long, but i will rate!

Here try this:
Use Pantene ProV straightening moose and blow dry your hair on a colder setting; then apply Thermasilk Straightening Creme (Yes, when It`s dry, it smoothes it ALOT and helps you straighten it) Then use the CHI Ion heat protectant spray brush it thru. Then just go about straightening your hair as usual! I know its alot of product, but it will help your hair! =]

My family is all going to go to Wisconsin next Thursday-Sunday. I do not want to go and neither does my mom. We would both go if my dad let us stay in a hotel, but he said that it is too much money. My grandfather (My grandfather is who we are going there to see.) keep his house at 95 degrees and I'm not joking. There aren't even enough beds in his house! He can't hear a word that I say and I'm have strep right now so, I'm not going to talk any louder than I normally do. I really do not want to go up to Wisconsin (Mom said that she's staying here) so, how do I convince my dad to not make me go?

I rate 5's for anyone who tries

Tell em that you're strep is really wearing you down, and you're just no in the best shape to go up there. Plus you don't want to risk getting your grandpa sick either, just tell them that you are so sorry you can't see him, but your just too sick to go and you'd rather stay home!

Hi! Well, lately my eye (bottom right of right eye) has been twitching, so I was wondering if anyone might know what's causing it and how I can stop it. Thanks.

Hey there =]
I have the same problem, its harmless twitching that is caused by lack of sleep or stress. My doctor told me theres nothing to worry about, just get your rest!

does anyone know a really good workout that works your lower abs and targets the "pooch" area?

Ah yes, if you have the June copy of SEVENTEEN magazine (Emmy Rossums on the cover) on page 76 they have an amazing AB workout, results in 10 days, I love it!

If you have the issue of Girls Life with Carrie Underwood on the cover (its an older edition) they also have a GREAT workout plan also on page 76, it includes other tips and a menu!

If you don't have either, try this.
Do 40 crunches a night, exhale when you come up to your knees. Stop after 10 and take two breathes then continue.

Or you can try the jackknife, (I've heard its amazing) put your hands behind your head and your legs straight out ( not on the ground though, about 4inches in the air) and bring your abdomen and legs up together then back down, thats one. Do about, 40 or so, as much as you can, take your time and just do them right. If your neck or back is hurting at all, STOP, this excersize isnt good for alot of people but it delievers fast and solid results!

Goodluck =]

ok me my friend and my boyfriend were planning on hanging out later this week when he gets back from camp. and my friend is like he really wants to kiss you and stuff. and i want to kiss him really bad also... but ive never kissed anyone...and if i do kiss him when we hang out in a few days, like everyones like just follow ur heart and you'll no what to do but it scares me b/c i dont know what to do! so basically i need kissing tips... that sounds weird but who cares


Ack! I had this same problem about two months ago for my first kiss, I asked dozens of questions on this site about it, honestly when it came down to the time he kissed me I didn't remember ANYTHING I had read / learned. All I can say, is just go with the flow. Keep your lips soft and gentle, if your nervous let him take the lead. Just move your face close to his, you can leave your hands were they are, or wrap them around his neck, or lower back. Just enjoy the taste of his kiss and relax, trust me, its much better if youre not a nervous wreck! Goodluck! =]

ok im only in 7th grade and i know that i wont be going on the senior trip for like 5 years but im just asking now...
well for the senior trip they always go to disney world and i really wanna go but we have to fly and i hate flying (never been on a plane and dont plan on going on one) but are planes really that bad i mean my mom said that she was on a plane and they hit REALLY bad turbulance...so for those of u that fly a lot do planes hit turbulance a lot or just sometimes and are plane rides scary?

My daddy works for an airline, so we always fly. It's not bad at all, infact, I LOVE it! Turbulance isn't bad, its just like, shaking. It usually doesn't last for more then 5-10 minutes, most only last about 30seconds to a minute. Its just like, idk, hitting speed bumps on the road. Just bring a MP3 player and relax, the pilots know what they're doing :)

It's near the end of my grade (8) and were graduating. I am going to a different highschool then the one i like. But i REALLY LIKE HIM. What should i do? One of my bff likes him to. So i have to say i don't like him anymore. I just really want him to hold my hand. or just tell me he likes me and kiss me OR SOMETHING. on the day of graduating should i tell him? HELP. give me ideas what to do! (we ARE having yearbooks)

When you sign his yearbook, find a random page in the middle of the book [ so no one else will see it ] and write that all down. Tell him since this is your last day of going to school with him, you want him to know that you really like him. ( Don`t sound all stalkerish, just tell him you like him, and that he can always make me smile, and add cute little hearts around it ) And leave it at that, but make sure he gets it BEFORE the graduation day, or else nothing will really happen. Just try to get around him alot, ( Don`t go overboard though ) and on the first page of his yearbook, put the page number you signed his yearbook on in a little heart with your name so he can find it. Worked for me, hope it`ll work for you too!

My cheer squad is putting together an appreciation type party for our football players as the get ready for the season.


At this thing, we want to show a football movie. We have it narrowed down to Remember the Titans and Friday Night Lights. We think they're both one of the best football movies out there (well... besides Rudy, of course) but we can't decide on one.


Which would y'all choose? If you answer, we'd really like a reason why as well!


Also, we really just and one of those two, nothing else, and we can't show both. Thanks

I love love love Remember the Titans, deff. one of my favorites so of course that is my choice =] But you gota remember, while RTT is alot about football and coming together as a team and the love and passion for the game. It is alot about racial issues too, you gota decide if you want that to be a big message in your party too!

does anyone know where to get camis that are kinda long that covers your whole stomach? and i also want the very cheap ones.. like i dont want a cami for 10$ .. thanks

I have ones from Target that were only about $6 and I love them! Also, Aeropostale has like 2 for $20 deals and theirs are the best! If you have a Khols or a JCPenney around they have cute ones for cheap too! Sometimes, if you look on the clearence racks at Abercrombie and Hollister you can get adorable camis for about $9.99

ok so im going to babysit this one family and i want to make a good impression so shell call me back... what should i do?

thanks i rate 5's

Oh Oh Oh, I know! :)
Heres a few tips:
Come with stuff to do, I bring a bag with coloring sheets, dolls, action figures, and books. If I'm babysitting a girl, I bring nail polish ( In a pretty color their mom will approve of ) and hair things, So we can have a little make over day. [ Be sure this is okay with her parents first!]

Every parent I've sat for so far have said they LOVE how I come prepared, and they all call back so hopefully that will work for you too!

okay well i am on my highschool cheer team and i am a back in my stunt group. before we go to camp we must have an extension. You know all the way up. well our flyer is brand new never cheered let alone flown before. we have a real good double base with craddle and just got a push up (double base pushing up to extension -- some people call it different things) well camp is at the end of the month and like i said we need a straight up extension. ive tried every peice of advice i could give our flyer but is there anyother tips i could give her to get over her fear and get her up easier? thanks sooo much =]

Hey there, I'm a cheerleader too, also a back/base =D
Heres somethings to help her up.
oo1. Tell her to find a spot on the wall, about level to where she`d be when she`s in an extension. ( Like a paint chip on the gym wall about 8ft up or something ) Once she concentrates on that all she needs to worry about is keeping her legs locked and help pull up her own weight by using her arms.

oo2. Also, she may just feel uncomfortable around new people, like she doesn`t trust you. So try doing somethings like the "Fall Back" Where she just falls back into your arms. You could also try to strengthen your relationship by having sleepovers and showing her that you guys won't let her fall =D


Cheerleading is all about trusting your squadmates: show her that she can trust you, and that you guys won`t let her fall and everything should go well. REMEMBER: Practice makes perfect :D Goodluck!

What's limewire???????

It a program, ( Note: It is illegal ) you can download any song in the world, or video, or anything of that sort. Its just a program on your computer that lets you download all those things, and listen/watch them!

[view]

does limewire give your computer and viruses or other problems??

For some people, it may slow the whole operation of the computer down. I haven`t seen anything wrong with my computer after downloading Limewire. My friend supposidly got viruses from it, but then again, she thinks myspace fried her hard drive.

So as far as I know, no problems have occured with mine.

Ok, the sad truth is that I have TONS of clothes...tons of cute tops and lots of pants..but I can never put an outfit together nor do I EVER feel like I have anything worth wearing. Does anyone have any tips on how I can "whittle" down my wardrobe so i look stylish yet don't have so much clothes that i dont pay attention to

Heres a few hints:
Get a magazine (I recommend TeenPeople, Cosmo Girl, Seventeen, or TeenVouge) Look through the pages and see if you see and outfits you totally love. Then look through your closet and see tops that match the style of the top in the magazine. This way, you can use your clothes, and still look stylish. You can go from there, doing the same with pants, shoes, and accessories. You're clothes don't need to look exactly like the ones in the mag. but close is just as cute!

Any clothes you feel are too small, or just not " you " try donating to a younger neighbor or to a charity, never just throw them out!

Remember: Some clothes you may not be into right now, may be a big trend soon so keep an open mind! =D

I have some spots and abit of a rash on my shoulders and back... does anyone know maybe why i have them? i was thinking maybe im allergic to my shower gel or something. does anyone know what i can use to get rid of them?

Are they round white dots?
Do they itch?
If they are, I have these too. I can't remember the name of em, but they're a fungus type thing you get from sun exposure. I told my doctor, and I got special shampoo cream to put on em. They were completley gone in 3 days of using the shampoo. =D

since i have naturally curly hair and i always straighten it..it NEVER stays straight and yes i have layers and i hate them i am trying so hard to grow them out but my hair grows soo slow. its a little past my shoulders or a little longer but my layers always flip in or out and it looks ugly! my hair doesnt scrunch or curl so i have to straighten it and it always seems to get greasy too by the end of the day. what do you think i could do?! is there anything? i dont really have much money to buy anything either...well thanks!
i will rate 5!

Hey there; I have the perfect solution.
Wash ++ Condition your hair, then apply a straightening moose ( I used Pantene Straight and Smooth Moose its about $5 ) and apply it evenly to your hair and brush it in. Then apply a smoothing creme/milk ( I once again, use Pantene Smoothing Milk also about $5) Blow dry your hair with a flatbrush and already it will look straighter.

Then, flat iron your hair by small sections and by layers. When your done, flip your hair over brush it a few times, then flip it right side up and brush it normally, that helps reduce frizz.

I'm trying to make my boyfriend the new Godsmack CD. Well, I'm downloading it off of LimeWire, which means doing it one song at a time. How do I make it faster? And they all get to a certain point, stop, and say Waiting On Busy Host, How do I fix that? Is there a way to choose a faster one? Please Help!!

I rate.

On the right side theres a column and it says T1, T2, T3 or higher, or Cable/Modem. Try downloading the ones that says T3 or Higher cause those will download faster then the rest =D
