ask mackenzie





I did not write the book of love,
and I do not claim to be full of wisdom.

I sure do make mistakes,
but I live and learn!

I try to let no one come to me,
without leaving happier. [:



"Exert your talents,
and distinguish yourself.
Don't even think about
retiring from the World,
until the World will be
sorry that you retire!"

♥[?]♥ is there a way to get tan without going tanning, self tanner or going out in the sun?
Unfortunately, taning requires some effort. So, no, sorry.

♥[?]♥ okay im a f/16 and i shave down there. is that weird if im not having sex at all and dont plan on it any time soon? does anyone else?
Is that "weird"? Of course not. The decision to shave is yours alone. Sex or no sex, you don't need it to form your own opinions of your own body. Don't worry about; if that's your perference, then go for it. :]

♥[?]♥ I have to go for my first "girly" check up alone because I am having problems at school and they are being slowly sorted out but my parents know nothign about it but my health is going down. What I want to know is during this check up do they really look at your vagina and boobs and what do they do to them? Also do they do anythign to your bum? I am really embarrest andits happening in a month please give me some advice.
If by "girly", you mean you have a trip to the Gynecologist, then I honestly can't tell you what will happen, seeing as how I've never experienced that, either. But what I can do is give you a few links that might assist with the easing your mind:

I can understand how you're nervous, and that's perfectly fine. Infact, they're expecting you to be nervous. Chances are that once they discover it is your first visit, they will do all that they can to make your experience there as comfortable for you as possible. I think an important thing to remember is that these doctors have seen thousands of bare human bodies. Since they've already seen it all, there's not much that will surprise them. They will go into this appointment with a professional mind, don't worry. (=

♥[?]♥ OK so im a 14 year old .. im pretty over weight. I'm like like a DD too, and im really self conscience about it. I also have a sweating problem, so w/e i wear i have huge stains under my arms. Im a tomboy .. but i still wanna wear jeans and a nice sweater sometimes! So, i dont think boys like me .. like at all. How can i look better and more cute, and feel more confident about myself?
As far as the sweating goes, this used to be a big problem for me also, so I know how you feel. Oh yes, I've definitely been there, and it's not good. I reccommend using an antiperspirant deodorant [such as Suave], followed by regular baby powder. The antiperspirant helps to reduce sweating, or at least is said to, but in our case... never does. Then the baby powder will close the pores of your under arm -- more or less trapping the sweat in, so to speak. Honestly, this almost ALWAYS works for me, but there *ARE* days when it's simply not good enough, and that can be a pain in the butt, so I usually make 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 shore if that's an option for you, but I recommend asking him for more information.




About the whole weight issue, you say it bothers you, and I'm sorry to hear that. Not to sound insensitive, but that's just life. We all have our insecurities, and that just so happens to be one of yours. For what it's worth, I bet you anything you're just being too hard on yourself. Whether you agree with me or not, the good thing is, if you truly want to change that, you can. Losing weight is hardly a piece of cake, but with some dedication you CAN do it!! If you're serious about this, I can try to offer some tips I've picked up along the way.


And what better place to start than the work out routine, right? A few good activities that can simply assist in porportioning the body in it's ENTIRTY would be anything that gets the blood circulation goin', such as: jogging, jumping jacks, jumping rope, walking, and bicycle riding. Also, if you have access to a heated pool, water aerobics work like a charm!!


And if you'd like to target your tummy specifically, try doing a couple hundred sit ups or crunches. I know, I know, I know.. "a couple hundred' SEEMS like a lot, but if you break it up into sessions, it's not that difficult, I promise.


For directions on doing a correct crunch, check out:

To tone your butt and thighs, do leg lifts. To do these, stand up straight, and slowly move your leg -ONLY YOUR LEG- backwards. Like, say you're going to kick something, but kick BARKWARDS, and DON'T BEND YOUR KNEES!! Make sense???


To tone your arms, take two dum bells [whichever weight works for you is fine, but keep in mind that a light challenge is great]. Hold one in each hand, while sitting up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, flat on the floor. Extend both arms out to each side of your body, and bend your elbows [just as if you're flexing both arms at the same time]. Then slowly at the same time, raise both arms up straight into the air, and bring them slowly back down into the flexing postion to the right and left of your body, understand? Try doing this about 10-30 minutes a day, and you'll see a gigantic difference in a week or two! And trust me, there's almost no better feeling than self improvement!!!


Also, providing you cut out the extremely unhealthy foods, such as white bread [substitute it with wheat], cake products, ice cream, hamburgers, and soda, you'll notice a significant amount of weight loss within the first few weeks, alone.


You can find lists of healthy foods at:
-- http://www.fit4free.org/healthy%20foods%20list.htm
-- http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php
-- http://bellaonline.com/articles/art1862.asp


As you probably already know, it's best to eat several small portions a day; but this does not mean to "starve" yourself. Say, have an apple and a piece of cheese, two hours later have a few crakers, and an hour later have one piece of wheat toast, and so on and so forth, ya know??? And those are just some snack ideas. When it comes to solid meals, you don't really have to cut out much. Just take in moderation. Little intakes of food like that gives your body time to digest it properly. You see how that's better than eating one or two huge meals a day?? Because then it would take too long to catch up, and your bodyy will not be able to burn the calories quickly enough; so it just quits, adding body fat.


Of course you must realize that weight loss takes time. I can't really say how long it will take; I suppose that differs from person to person. It really just depends on how much weight you're looking to shed. I'd say you could lose 10 to 20 pounds within the first month; that's very possible [seeing as how a good portion of that 10-20 pounds will be water weight].


You just have to stay committed, and strive to keep up the drive. Some tips: just try to keep yourself busy, and sleep as often as possible. Those things keep your mind off of food.


Sure it seems like you're giving up so much, but think about what you will be gaining if you feel better about yourself?? That's the best damned grand prize you'll EVER find! (=

♥[?]♥ anyone know any good resizing pic urls?

i rate fives.
Have you tried resizing it yourself? If you don't know how, it's simple. You just take any picture on your computer, and paste it on Window's Paint program. Then go up to "FILE", "SAVE AS".. then a window will appear, and where it says "SAVE AS TYPE", if it DOESN'T say "JPEG. [*JPG, *JPEG, *JPE, *JFIF]"... then make it do so. Then to resize, go to "IMAGE" and down to "STRETCH/SKEW", and keep bringing down the top two percentage things little by little until it's the desired size.

♥[?]♥ can anyone think of any reason why a bf wouldnt be happy for his gf if she found a job that she really liked?
I'll right anyone who answers with a 5. Thanks!
Fear of losing her. :)

♥[?]♥ I am 12 and I'm in the seventh grade..Im the only girl who is flat chested and its really bothering me..I tried stuffing but it dosen't work..so what can I do
Not to disappoint you, but there's really nothing you can do to make your breasts bigger. Doctors offer prescriptions, but no one in their right mind would place something like that into the hands of a preteen. I can tell it bothers you, and I'm sorry to hear that. Truth is, that's just life. We all have our insecurities, and that just so happens to be one of yours. Good thing is, you're only 12. You still have many years left to develop. It might bother you now, but don't be surprised if you notice a dramatic gain in the next year or two. You'll fill out, and things will be fine, I promise! :D

♥[?]♥ ok which looks better white nailpolish on your toenails and red on nails or red on toenails with white on nails? or white on toenails and pink on nails, or pink on toenails white on nails? sorry so confusing. all 5's for opinions. thanks.
I'd say red (if not more maroon) for your finger nails, and white for your toe nails. (=

♥[?]♥ what is the thing you are supposed to say after you read a fortune??


PLEAS HELP AND THANKS!!!!
I usually say, "Hey Dad, let's use the 'Lotto 6#s' on the back of our fortunes, and buy a grip of lottery tickets!"


But you, you could say, "..in my pants", if it really means that much to you..

You are stuck in a room with no windows or doors. a solid room. Only things in this room is a mirror and a table. how do you escape?
This riddle makes me angry at the world.


I don't see how it makes any sense in the slightest, right?


"Look in the mirror, see what you saw"


If you look in the mirror... and "see what you saw"....... wouldn't that mean to turn the saw on yourself? Who's to ASSUME the TABLE is in the REFLECTION of the mirror?


Then again, I guess if you looked at the mirror at the right angle, you might not see yourself, either.


Agree? Disagree? Input of any kind?

♥[?]♥ ok there is this guy that i like alot but he has a girl friend should i wait for them to break up or just move on ?

♥[?]♥ how do you get music on your xanga??? plz help i will rate you !!
You can find a song at one of the following:
- http://www.xanga.com/xanga_music
- http://www.xanga.com/music_galore
- http://www.xanga.com/musicurl
- http://www.xanga.com/XxAaNnGaA_MUSIC
- http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Beyond_Amazing_Music
- http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=XxX_MUSIC_4_U_XxX



Once you've found a song on one of those pages, click the link to hear it. Chances are it will play on Windows Media Player. In WHICH case, simply go up to "FILES".. "PROPERTIES" and copy EVERYTHING in the "LOCATION" slot.


Then SIGN INTO Xanga.. go to your "LOOK & FEEL" page. Scroll down to the "MUSIC" section, and put it in the "MUSIC" slot.


It's a piece of cake.
Lemme know if you need additional help with anything. :)
