♥[?]♥ Even when i wash my face in the morning, and i don't put on alot of makeup (at the stuff i do put on is the oil-free stuff), my face is always REALLY oily by the end of the day. Does anyone know some kind of product that they've used that they can reccomend that would help. Preferrably something that i would just have to put on or whatever in the morning, and not put on when my face gets oily (cause' i don't want to do it in the middle of school or when i'm out someplace) THanks.
I say it's always best to use a simple acne and oil fighting product; such as:

http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetails_69.asp
(which can be purhchased at Walgreens for $4.49)

or:

http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jhtml?id=prod369845&CATID=100615&skuid=sku369846&navAction=jump&navCount=1

follwed immediately by:
http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetails_44.asp
(which can be purchased at Walgreens for $6.99)

Also, if you're willing to entertain the idea of a facial, those are awesome. Certain types target specific problems, so make sure to read the label. It's a fun, easy and CHEAP way to renew your skin. I usually get some friends together and make a night of it, but that's just me. :P If you're interested though, we keep it simple.. and use:

http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100310&navAction=jump&navCount=0&id=prod1099072
(that one claims to spefically target oily skin, but there's many different packets produced by that company.)

Those are the products I use, and I can honestly say I have seen nothing short of fantastic results.

♥[?]♥ I'm 13 and yesterday I had the worst stomache cramp ever! I think it was because of my period but what can I do like when it happens again? What should I take? It make my stomache hurt really bad and I threw up. I was almost crying. So any help would be appreciated.
You have many options here. It's well known that regular physical activity helps reduce the cramping in some women, so there's an idea. You could also try taking a warm bath and using aromatherapy. Applying a heating pad on your lower abdomen or back should do wonders. If you don't have a heating pad, you can make one by simply filling a sock with rice and heating it in the microwave for a few minutes [must sound silly, but if the cramps get bad enough, it just might be worth it]. Or try laying in bed, on your side, and curling up into a ball by bringing your knees up towards your chest. That does true wonders for stomach pains. Also, a healthy diet can play a big role in this. Do your best to avoid salty foods, because they retain water, causing you to bloat. Vegetables and citrus fruit would be helpful. Also, many women start taking pills around the clock from the time their cycle starts, until it ends. Any pain killer will do, but I reccommend Ibuprofen, Extra Strength Advil or Midol - it's also best to take medication will a meal, that way the risk of stomach discomfort is slimmed. But if you take other medicine regularly, I would suggest consulting your Mother or a doctor beforehand.

♥[?]♥ Ok i wanted to look into homeschooling because i'm thinking about having my mom put me and my sister in home school does anyone know any good websites or anything for home school things for wisconsin like Janesville or Edgerton
Well, I only know about high school homeschooling, not middle school. I'm not sure if I can be of any assistance regarding your sister, since you didn't mention her age. However, I will give you what information I can.


First rule of homeschooling, credits hardly ever transfer. If you think you can just see how it goes for a few months and then switch back to public schooling, there's no guarantee that will be accepted. Chances are that if you begin homeschooling and discover that it is not for you, you would have done whatever time you spent on those classes for nothing. Generally speaking, credits you earned from homeschooling will not transfer back to your public high school.


How do I know this? I am 19, and I just began high school not too long ago, for the second time. I dropped public school and switched to online schooling. Every single last credit was taken away from me at that time. So bottom line, you need to be 100% sure about this before you make an action.


Now, my home schooling is done through an online school. I can do school whenever I want for however long I'd like. I can do school work for ten hours today, and not again for 25 days.. and no one will give me a rash of crap. That's a major perk of homeschooling, it is all done on your own agenda. Online schooling is in no way a bad thing. It is actually quite accepted these days, and absolutely no one will look down upon you because of it.


The school I go to is Nationally Accredited, which means I can still land a university with ease. Now, Harvard, Yale and Cornell obviously won't accept me, because they want football stars and leaders of the debate club, but the University of Oregon won't see my online schooling as a problem whatsoever.


Yes, you will get a high school diploma, and it is absolutely no different than anyone else's. You'll even get a class ring, and graduation ceremony, if you so choose to go to Georgia to attend it. The school is based in Georgia, but you can take it from anywhere in the world. Almost all homework is submitted via internet; few things are sent by U.S mail.


I'm paying about $1,200 for four years of high school. Now, that may seem exspensive, but trust me.. that is such a DEAL that it's just unbelievably. There are many online high schools, so you might still want to look around. However, I completely looooveee my school. Home schooling was the best decision I've ever made. It just personally suits me best. You should know that just because it's done from home doesn't make the work any less difficult. Ironicly, I got the exact same freshman English book from my online school as I did in my public school freshman year. The work is the exact same, and the load isn't lightened at all. Most people find that hard to believe, but they're absolutely incorrect. If anything, it's more difficult. Can you imagine teaching yourself geometry? It's not easy. Of course, there's a fax number, email address, and help hotline that's open five days a week from 8:00am to 8:00pm EST. And no, you do not have to do any type of camera visit with them.


If you're interested in checking out my school for a free brochure, the website is http://www.jmhs.com Also, feel free to message me on AIM if you have any further questions or concerns. You can find my screen name on my column. (=


There's something else I would like to add. I see that you are a freshmen in highschool. School just started a few weeks ago. It's tough on everybody at first. Most people ease into it. I suggest really giving it all you can before deciding to switch to homeschooling. Try your damnest to get out there and meet people. Join clubs and sports. Anything to make friends. Homeschooling may be more convenient and perhaps faster, but one thing I can tell you, is that I will unfortunately never have the memories of high school football games, Homecoming, Prom and Graduation. It really is an awful lot to miss out on. It's opportunities that won't ever show themselves again. Just really think things over before making any final decisions.

♥[?]♥ is there a way to find out if you are on someone's buddy list???
There used to be. I had my answer to your Question all written out, and then I figured I might as well check the link to be sure that it was still working. It looks like the site has closed down. It was http://www.buddytree.com/ , and yes, when it was around it did work. However, there was a catch. To see whose Buddy List you are on, you have to be willing to submit your own for God knows who, to view. What you were to do is go to the website, sign up, and submit your Buddy List. Then, type in a screen name. If the person who owns that screen name has an account on that website, as well, you will be able to see their entire list. I always thought no one in their right mind would use that site, but perhaps it drew more attention that I thought, seeing as how it was shut down. I am sorry that I can't help you beyond that. I will Edit my answer if I come across another site of its sort, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to check back to this Question every few months.

♥[?]♥ ah.so its that time of the month ..
and i have the worst cramps ever.
and i feel so like, bloated and puffy.
and huge haha.

but, none of any of my other periods have been like this?
i have SOME cramps, but not as many as i do now.
and i never feel bloated.
until now?

is this normal? i never feel like this on my period.
what should i do about it?
As far as coping with the discomfort, you have many options here. It's well known that regular physical activity helps reduce the cramping in some women, so there's an idea. You could also try taking a warm bath and using aromatherapy. Applying a heating pad on your lower abdomen or back should do wonders. If you don't have a heating pad, you can make one by simply filling a sock with rice and heating it in the microwave for a few minutes [must sound silly, but if the cramps get bad enough, it just might be worth it].

Any pain killer will do, but I reccommend Ibuprofen, Extra Strength Advil or Midol - it's also best to take medication will a meal, that way the risk of stomach discomfort is slimmed.

Now, I am not a doctor, but you haven't given me any reason to assume that anything out of the ordinary is going on. Cramps and bloating are common, but unfortunately everyone feels them at a differing degree. If you feel like you are in more and more pain as time goes on, I suggest you tell a parent. They will be able to judge whether higher medical care is needed.

♥[?]♥ 15/f

hey!
i'm trying to plan something for me & my boyfriend of 6 months to do on our "anniversary"
i'm completely out of ideas! going to a movie theater is out because my parents don't trust me with him at a movie theater by ourselves (haha) so any ideas would be appreciated!!
Oh, this sounds like it will be great fun for you two.

You could always take him to a fancy dinner. And if not, how about making him dinner? If you're up to the challenge, you could try stuffed chicken breasts with potatoes of some sort with a fresh garden salad and sundaes for dessert. Or lasagna.

If you're willing to get creative, how about planning a picnic lunch in the park? That will definitely be simple enough. You could bring a blanket and some music. It doesn't have to be complicated. It can consist of turkey sandwiches on slice bread, grapes, watermelon, pretzels, twinkies etc. And make sure you bring bread to feed the duckies. That would be a nice touch.

If you need some receipes, you might be interested in checking out this website. It offers instructions on a variety of meals, all of which can be prepared in 30 minutes or less.

I see that the cinemas are out, but might you also consider mini golf, bowling, go-karting, billiards, arcades, amusement parks, museums, zoos and bike riding.

If we're talking gifts, try keeping it simple. Spring for some posters, a leather jacket, nice cologne, a gift card, a nintendo system, or some DVD's.

Or if he drives, how about a gas card?

Another possible suggestion, you could always make him a poster or a photo album. You can enhance it with the use of markers, photographs, quotes and so on. How about making him some sort of little quilt with protective clear pockets that you can insert pictures into, and take them out to wash easily?

Just remember that it's the thought that counts with these things. Exspense doesn't measure love, so I'm sure he'll love whatever it is that you do.

♥[?]♥ ok were would a 14/f find a job..i really need some advice on wear to loook for a job because i cannot find a job ..


P.S. any ideas would be really appreciated thanx!
The best thing I can suggest would be doing some work at a library or animal hospital - though they may see that as volunteer work and you wouldn't be paid. Or they at least would make you work there a good six weeks before putting your name down on the payroll. Also, you should check with any little local antique stores or Mom & Pop pizza houses, small locally owned stores that aren't a chain. Fast food you probably couldn't do. I know the youngest they hire would be Wendy's and Subway at 15. And I don't think there would be any way you could weasel a job there, because during the summer every teenager wants a job, so why would they illegally hire a 15 year old when a million 17 year olds have applied, right?

Aside from that, there's babysitting. Try making a bunch of fliers and distributing them on the bullentin boards at your closest couple of grocery stores; free advertising - that's what it's there for. However, baby sitting is a serious matter. Make sure you know exactly how to perform CPR on infants and toddlers in case of emergency, and once that is all settled, you can add that to your resume. Call them crazy, but parents are more likely to give you their business if they feel their child will be safe with you. You might be able to consider selling things on EBAY. Also, lawn mowing! BIG money to be had there; generally $10.00 - $45.00 per GOOD sized yard. See, there's options. None you might not be too thrilled with, but hardly anyone really enjoys working, just remember that.

♥[?]♥ what type of perfumes like are the type that smell good and stay on longer then others
and what are some just good smelling perfumes??
also, what deoderente should i use that stops sweat stains, because i get them alot in school in the summer and its gross.
xoxo
As far as perfume goes, Liz Claiborne's "Curve Crush" smells fantastic, if you ask me. That can be purchased at Walmart for $21.00 and change. Might I also recommend another fragraince by Liz Claiborne, "Mambo", which is my all time favorite.

And sweat stains, yikes! This used a big problem for me also, so I know how you feel. I've been there, and it's not fun or pretty, for that matter. I reccommend using an antiperspirant deodorant [such as Suave or my personal favorite, Lady Speed Stick], followed by regular baby powder. The antiperspirant helps to reduce sweating. Then the baby powder will close the pores of your under arm - more or less trapping the sweat in, so to speak. Honestly, this method worked well for me, but there are days when it's simply not good enough. In that case, it can be a pain in the butt, so I usually made a point of carrying some sort of jacket. Hearing that, there's this product people are always talking about on this site [but I believe that's from "Monkey See, Monkey Do"], but it's even advertised on television. It's called CertainDri. Now, they say it can be purchased at Wal-greens, RiteAid, CVS, and Walmart, however, every single time I've been to the store looking for it, I've never seen it on the shelves. Naturally, this leads me to ask an employee where I can find it, and they always tell me they've never heard of it, and they do not carry the product... which just leaves you speechless and with a feeling of, 'what now?' If the problem persists, perhaps you should consult a physician, who can supply you with proper medication. Also, he can give you shots that kind of close up your pores, so sweating never really happens again. I'm not sure if that is an option for you, but I recommend asking him for more information. But whatever you decide to do, goodluck from someone who knows exactly what you're going through!
