advice

hi. 15/m. i know its a little early to plan, but i really want to travel the world. what countries would you reccomend? i would like to go to at least one country in each continent. And i live in england by the way, so i dont really want advice on how "beautiful" england is. thanks a lot :)

Please take my advice and visit Baku, Azerbaijan. My entire family is from there and I've seen so many pictures. The culture is so amazing and the food is really good. Google some pictures on it, and you'll see what I mean. I went there when I was only 8 months old, so obviously I don't remember anything. They speak Russian and Azerbaijani there. Trust me, you'll love it, if you decide to go. It's a small country, bordering Russia. They have nightclubs there too..

Oil is a very big deal there.

The people there are so down to earth (my parents tell me lots of stories, lol), and everyone is so nice. Even strangers would offer you food to try, and treat you like family.

Take it into consideration.

Ok...so i'm about to start a new semester in high school and the is a hugee zit on my face. Any advice would be good on how to get rid of it, but do you have any tips to do with product we at home. Help would be much appriciated

- Don't pick at it, don't touch it, NOTHING. Leave it alone.

- If you decide to put makeup on it (which you probably will), remember to wash your face at night before you go to sleep.

- I have this stuff called Neutrogena Deep Foaming Cleanser and it works really well. I noticed that my skin is less oily, and my pores aren't as clogged. Dead bacteria build-up is what clogs pores, which causes pimples. I bought the face wash for about $7. It might seem a little expensive, but I've only been using it for a week. I use it before I go to bed, and before I go to school in the morning and my skin feels all tingly and refreshed.

- If you can't buy it, just wash your face with regular (bar) soap and water.

That's all that I could think of.. I hope it helped.

ok.
i know for some people you can say theyre parents are strict. but you really have no idea until you hear about myne.im about to be 16 years old and my mom doesnt let me do almost anyyyythiiinnnggg.
i cant leave my house to go to the mall , i cant go to my friends house, i cant take a walk. and when im bored she tells me to find something to do. well all i can do is watch tv or eat, haha or my favorite do choress [[not]].
it gets on my nerves and she tells me everything i do is wrong.
which i barely do anything at all becausee im in the house all day. im in colombia away from her 3 weeks and she sais im spending my birthday here and i cant do anything over there.
shes soo overprotective and sais ive been ''acting up lately''
because my boyfriend gave me a hicky....
i mean she acts like im going out and fucking some random person and getting drunk and high at the age of nine.
which is all not truee.
i dont know what to do to make her less over protectivee or to get off my back.

I think I might know why she's so protective. Well, there has been a lot of girls missing lately, think Kelsey Smith, Kara (don't know her last name), and Natalee Holloway. I think that she's just worried about you, or maybe not, but I'm just guessing. Sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk with her, ask her to please listen, and tell her what you're telling us (not word-for-word, lol). Just tell her that you're 16, and before you know it, you'll be 18 and an adult. If you go somewhere, promise to pick up her calls when she calls, or call her at least a few times while you're out, so she won't be worried. I turned 15 a few months ago, and my mom is really overprotective, but she's learned to 'let go' a little bit. I explained to her that no matter what, I'll still be her little girl, no matter how fast I grow up. She calls me like every hour, which I don't find annoying (as I used to), but I'm glad that she cares.

Just talk to your mom and explain that you want to have some freedom. Start out with something small (spending the day at your friend's house just hanging out, spending the night, ect.), and ask her if you can go.

does anyone know a good sports bra brand that is really supportive but not to tense on the shoulders.. i need some for cheerleading, doing flips and stuff. thanks!

Under Armor & Champion sport bras are really good. I used Under Armor ones when I did basketball & soccer last year. They are a little expensive, the UA's are around $40, but they are durable and are really supportive.

Last night I went to forever 21 with my friend & we got outfits for the first day of school. I guess you can say we have a sense of style, but the thing is the kids at my school don't. I decided to get a black shirt dress that has thick straps & goes a bit above my knees. I am going to wear jeans underneath [since it's a shirt dress] & a gray cardigan on top that goes to about my ribs. I was going to do my hair straight & long & then have a few front pieces pulled back in bobby pins. Does this sound cute or too much?? People always wear jeans & a tshirt, but I love fashion & I've seen this outfit before in magazines. I just don't want people thinking "wow what is she wearing??" when in reality a lot of girls do wear this. Any ideas/opinions?? Thanks!

That sounds really cute actually, for shoes, as many other columnists have said, flats are the best.

The black or the pipe gray color would both look cute with the outfit. The best way to set trends is to stand out.

& Good luck on your first day of school!

I'm a 19 year old female and I'm getting married in a week. I love the man I am marrying I do but last week we went on a trip to meet his family for the first time. I have tried so hard to please and impress his family but sometimes it feels like nothing I do is good enough for them. At this point I don't care anymore but since we have been on this trip my fiance has been acting differently towards me. He makes fun of me which sometimes gets annoying and a lil hurtful, and he wants me to do everything for him but whenever I ask him to do something he won't do it but throws a fit when I won't do shit for him. It seems like this is a completely different man than I fell in love with. What do I do? Should I still marry him or should we take a break? please help me...

I'm only 15, obviously, I'm not married. I'm no expert, but you sound very unsure about getting married. Follow your heart, is all that I can say. I know it sounds cheesy, but if your heart is telling you not to marry him, then don't. I think that getting married at 19 is a little too soon, don't get me wrong, love is love, but you should be spending a little more time focusing on what you want, and going out and having fun, not being settled down with a husband. If you really want to marry him, then go for it, but think about what will happen in the future, not just the present.

I think that you should take a break, maybe like a few weeks at the most, and sit down and really think this through. Do you want to get married right now? At 19? Ask yourself these questions and see where it takes you.

i have acne on my nose that NEVER goes away. i tried almost everything-- toothpaste, eyedrops, coverup, st. ives, & clean & clear. what should i do? dont say proactive or see a dermatoligist, and if you suggest products ****UNDER $10.**** i don't care how well they work, under 10 bucks please.

I just bought the Neutrogena Deep Invigorating Foaming Cleanser last night and I used it it 3 times, and my pores were all clogged on my nose, and I noticed that my skin got VERY smooth. It tingles so it's like a refreshing kind of feeling so it wakes you up in the morning too. It's like in a blue bottle with a white pump dispenser. I bought it for like $6.88. I just bought it, so I haven't seen like major changes, but I've tried many things as well, like Vinegar, and Oil Free Acne Wash from Neutrogena (not so bad either), toothpaste, ect.

is vanessa hugnes going out with zac efron or is it ashley tisdale and zac?

Vanessa and Zac are going out.

I've heard vinegar helps heal acne?
is that truee?
I'm stunned.

It helps some people, but I tried it and it dried out my skin.

Does anyone know where to get the Holes Theme Song from the movie??

The only lyrics i remmeber are:

Diigin up up on diiggin digging up up on uugghh

AND

A-R-M-P-I to the T wats that smell dog thats me i dont take showers and i dont brush my teeth....

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THE NAME OF IT AND WHERE I CAN GET THE SONG FROM (DOWNLOAD)??

The song is called 'Dig It' by the D-Tent Boys.

I'm downloading the song right now, if you want you can IM me on AIM and I'll send it to you over a file transfer. (leave one in my inbox)

Ok, so i was supposed to get two shots 2 months ago. but i keep distracting my mom so she doesnt remember to make an appt. haha :D
well eventually im going to have to go to the doctors again and get the shots ]: when i do have to go get them im going to get so scared. i start crying when people even bring needles around me. how can i stay calm when their going to give it to me. i know breath in and look at the wall. but it doesnt work for me. what can i do?

IF YOU HAD A PHOBIA OF NEEDLES AND YOU HAD TO OVERCOME IT YOUR ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT! IF NOT ITS STILL WELCOME!

thanks so much :D

I promise that it's not that bad. I hate blood and needles, but I just got my tetanus shots last week. The nurse will inject the needle into your arm and when the fluid goes in, she'll take out the needle and immediately cover it with a bandaid. The first shot was OK, and I'm not gonna lie to you, the second one HURT. She pushed it in slower than the first, so maybe that's why it hurt. When I touched the spot on my arm over the bandaid, it was sore (like when you pull a muscle, or when your arm is just sore in general). The shot will hurt for 1-2 days (maximum) if you apply pressure to the spot where it was injected, and then it will go away.

Tell the nurse that you are scared of needles, and try not to look at the needle, just turn your head. Remember, the shots are there to help you from getting sick, not to hurt you.

Does Zach Efron really sing in the first high school musciacal? I thought he did, but they say Drew did. Who's Drew and why didn't they just give him the part of Troy. Won't people notice when Zach has a totally different voice the second movie? Does Efron even sing for himself in the second movie?

Yeah, Zac said that Drew Seeley's voice was blended in with his for the first HSM. Zac said that it was himself who was singing during HSM 2. During Hairspray, it was also Zac who was singing for himself, so his voice sounded different from the first High School Musical. Drew Seeley's just a singer and he went on tour with the rest of the HSM cast. He's Canadian. He sang a duet with Belinda (really popular Mexican singer), and he did a few guest appearances on some shows. It was confirmed that Zac sang in HSM 2, without the help of Drew.

does airsoft hurt?

Yes, it hurts, but only a little, if you're running around, you won't even feel it.

Hi, My mom is 100% careless, she gets me whatever i want, like anything, but i asked her tonight "Can i go to victorias secret to get bras and underwears?" she was like, THATS FUC*ING INSANE!

All of my friends wear their bras, but of corse, mine are from like, target, and the rest of my clothing is from abercrombie, it doesnt make sence! HOW CAN I TELL HER I DESERVE STUFF FROM THAT STORE!? and i already have underwear from there, my mom gave me her credit card when i was on a school trip in washington DC. and i got stuff in the mall, its pissing me off!

Love is not a maybe thing, you know when you love someone. - Lauren

it said i logged out. but when i pressed login it said my account i just signed out of.
"this album is private. please login"

You have three options..

1] Refresh and try again, type slowly and make sure you didn't miss any numbers/letters.

2] Click on the 'forgot password' option, go to your email and copy it exactly as it is in the email, and paste it into the login page.

3] Make sure that you spelled your login name correctly as well.

Hope I helped. ♥

does anybody reccomend a good foundation that covers acne and does not look cakey or clog pores? i would appreciate any suggestions

I use the Maybelline Dream Matte Foundation.

http://www.maybelline.co.uk/products/face/l29l51l52l222l401.htm

This is what it looks like and it covers some [small] pimples that I have on my forehead. It's supposedly oil free but you should still wash it off before you go to bed as you would do with any other makeup that you wear.

You can find it at your local Walmart/Walgreens/CVS/ect. and it should only be around $5. Find the one that matches your skin tone because I don't know what tone yours is, and it lasts for quite awhile. & It stays, doesn't cake, ect.

Hope I helped. ♥

how do you get that look- you tie your hair up into a bow in the back?

When I use bows, I just put my hair back in a messy bun and tie it with like 2 rubber bands, then I take this black long silk ribbon thing that I've had, and I take the two ends, tie it so that it's secure on your ponytail, and just keep wrapping it around the base, then when you see that you have just the right amount of ribbon left, tie it like you would tie a shoelace, but make sure you can still see the ribbon sticking out. You can get ribbons at Walmart for very cheap, and since you'll only be needing a little, I'm sure they won't charge you that much.

♥ Hope I helped.

How do you get rid of a peach fuzz mustache?

I would recommend getting the Nair Facial Hair Remover cream. Don't be ashamed of buying it, because I use it too. It should be in a short white rectangular tube thing and should have a picture of a sketched cheek sort of picture.

It should be in the face/makeup section where you can find all of the lotions and moisturizers and stuff.

This is what it should look like:

http://www.drugstore.com/qxp11031_333181_sespider/nair/cream_hair_remover_for_face_with_special_moisturizers.htm

It also has included moisturizers so it won't dry out your skin. It should only be anywhere from $4-6 at your local Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, or any other drugstore near you.

Hope I helped! ♥
