Uhh. I have really thin hair, and I am having troubles scruntching my hair. I bought this scrunching gel & mouse, but idk what to do? Anyone know? (link)
|
First, style when your hair is damp. It helps it hold curl.
Basically, first, use the mousse, combing it through your hair. TOP AND BOTTOM! Saturate your hair with it. Then, get some of the gel in your hands and scrunch your hair, trying to apply the gel fairly evenly. Then either airdry or use a diffuser.
I have curly hair myself, so I have tons of experience. ^^

My mom workshift has changed, so she is no longer able to take me to school. So now I have to ride a bike to school. And I just feel so embarrased. People in the car when they drive by sometimes laugh and point. So I just want to know how does everyone else get to school. You know do you take the bus, ride, walk, bike, etc. (link)
|
I'm a senior in high school, and I ride the bus.
Hey, that is far worse than riding a bike. ^^

A very simple way to add some fun to your hair is to try a zigzag part. Take a long-handled comb and trace a zigzag across where you want the part to be, getting the hair across the comb handle. Then lift out the comb, pulling the hair apart.
The part adds texture to your hair, and is a fun and easy look.

16 and a guy. Ever since I can remember, I've always bottled up my emotions, especially my anger. That lead me into being a shy person most of the times, not all though. Because of that, I find that (and other have told me) that I'm not good at communicating with people. Especially when something bothers me, because I almost never say anything - just to avoid trouble. Here at home especially, and at school its like this. I'd really like some advice on what to do. " Just saying how I feel " is not something I'm used to. (link)
|
First, find an outlet for the negative emotions. Physical activities are definitely good. Maybe get yourself a punching bag or a kickboxing bag. Use it to take out your frustrations on.
As far as communicating with others, start small. You don't have to suddenly beccome outgoing. Just say things when you want to. Find people who you like being around, who talk about things that intrest you. Pretty soon, you'll talk with them a lot more than you ever thought you would.
Also, sometimes chatting online or posting in webforums is a good way to build confidence. It helps you express yourself without feeling threatened by people being around you. Once you get used to talking to people casually, you can be more open in real life.

The hairstylist cut my bangs crooked and too short. I'm not sure what to do. They look ugly. I can't pin them up because that looks even worse. Do you have any suggestions on making them look half decent?
Thanks in advance XD (link)
| |
First, when you style your hair, brush the bangs out straight so that they are a bit longer. If they are crooked, angle them to one side or another (brushing, not cutting) so that it doesn't show.

Alright, I think this may have recently been asked, and I'm sorry if it was, but I need help.
I have the hardest time calling people, I only call people if it's an absolute emergency. Like, I can't even call my boyfriend, or best friend.
I hate it, I always want to call them, but I just can't do it. I don't know why. It's actually really affecting my relationship with my boyfriend, he's threatened to break up because I have probably only called him 2 times since I've know him (which is about a year or so). Can anyone help me get over this? (link)
| |
Try alternate means of communication, like text messaging or instant messengers. Then they won't feel ignored, and you'll avoid the phone.

OK so I have this power of flirting with guys I like and then getting them to like me back. Well I really like this one guy and he really likes me back. The thing is, he's wayy too sweet. I'm all about having fun being hyper and going wild. He's all about romantic stuff and taking me out to dinner ALONE. I guess I'm just not ready for that yet and plus we aren't even going out! I wish he was more hyper and wild and well sexy. Can I make him that way? Or should I just brek it off? He really wants to see me this weekend and I don't know what to do with him... any suggestions? (suggestions for just me and him dates and for me him his freinds and my friends dates) (link)
| |
Go somewhere fun and wild, just the two of you. Start small though. He won't be able to handle a huge change, so ease into it. Maybe go Cosmic Bowling or something like that, to make him more outgoing. Surround him with more outgoing people. Things like that. ^^

I've been searching the internet for good colleges for an English or Journalism major, but I can't seem to find sites that will tell me which ones are considered the best ones in the country. I know that UNC and MU are nice, but that's about it... Anyone know of more? (link)

Check the USNews ranking site.

You can browse there. You do have to pay for the full list though.

ok for my 16th birthday I want to have a Toga party. I want to have like techno, pop, and rock music. I have a few questions:
-Does Party City have togas? (in Texas if that helps?)
-What all should I have to do at the party?
-What kinds of food? (keep in mind it's roman related)
-what kinds of activities//games should I do that would be fun for people my age?
-Karaoke? (most friends are in the upper choirs)
-Toga Twister? haha (a friend suggested that.. but of course with shorts under)
-Black lights?
any other things you would like to add would be greatly appriciated! or any other ideas for a party. I'm the kind of person that's a little "off the wall"//"crazy" so if y'all have any unique party ideas feel free to share them!
thanks (link)
|
Have everyone act in character the whole party! When they come in, they draw a role out of a hat, and have to act like that person. One person might be Caesar, another might be Cleopatra, and another a lowly slave.
Gladiator fights would be fun. Get things like pool toys and foam practice weapons(found at a martial arts supply), and have at it!
Hmm... no more crazy ideas for the moment. But you should definitely get glowsticks. ^^

I've been searching for ages for a dress for 8th grade graduation. I don't want to involve my parents in the actual dress buying, so I'm on my own in paying for it. I'd love to find something under 50$, but i might be able to go over that. I'd rather not buy online, because that'd involve my mom more than i'd like, but i think I'll have to. My question is that is there any good stores around Lexington, ky that sells awesome dresses?
Thanks! (link)
| |
Try a store like Ross, Marshalls, or TJ Maxx. I have found many a fantastic dress with a little searching.

There is a guy I really like (who also has the slight potential of liking me back). He's very funny and actually very polite and nice. However, he doesn't seem to be a very devout Christian, because he cusses. Even though I cuss sometimes, I feel like he may have a bad influence on me in that way, and I know from Bible study that I'm supposed to surround myself with people who share my beliefs and are going to be a good influence. But there seems to be something wrong with that, because if I cuss now and then, I may be a kind of bad influence on others too, and they wouldn't want to be around ME either. I guess what I'm trying to ask is...would it be okay to continue to flirt with this guy and (if it works out right) date him? Sorry, this was kind of long and confusing... btw, I'm almost 16, if that helps any. (link)
|
Cursing doesn't make you a bad person. Heck, we all do it. But if he likes you, and you like him, try to get him to tone it down a bit.
A great way of doing this is to challenge him not to cuss. Mark down every time he does, and playfully wave it in his face. He'll get better at not doing it, and eventually, he'll just stop.
Any way, if that is the only issue, go for it.

What are some low-calorie snacks that taste really good? I'm on a diet and I get tempted to cheat! lol (link)
|
Try mini rice cakes. Not the full size, but the minis. It is about 60 calories for 8 of the little cakes. Since they are small, they are more flavorful. I personally love the apple cinnamon ones, but they come in tons of flavors.
Plain popcorn is also a good snack.
Any fresh fruit is generally a good choice, as are fresh veggies.

I'm 4"10 very petite but I have 34D boobs. They dnt look as big as they sound but they sure feel like it. I hate them! They hurt me sooo much. My back has been hurting a lot lately and I just don't know what to do about them. My mom doesn't want me to get breast reduction because even though its done at my age she says that it hurts and they've gotten smaller. But they havnt any suggestions? (link)
|
You don't need a reduction, what you need is a good bra. If the bra fits right, it should support you. Ask your mom to take you to a specialist store, where they can properly fit you, and get you the perfect bra. It makes a big difference. ^^
And I feel your pain. Literally. I'm a size 38D.

i need to make a political cartoon for school but i cant think of any ideas. does anyone know of any ideas? i want it to be funny if possible.. rate high. (link)
|
Hmmm....
Perhaps something on the obesity epidemic? Such as a person at the McDonalds Drive Thru in a tiny little convertible, barely fitting in it, ordering a super size meal and a diet coke.
A little bit overdone, but still good.
Anything on frivolous lawsuits is funny. And celebrities are prime topics for mockery.
Another idea: a women recieving a fur coat as a family heirloom. Next panel, PETA dumps paint on said coat, and woman must buy new coat. Next panel, people chasing/killing cute fuzzy animals and making coats, saying they've never had better business.

I know this ex-colleague of mine but not really that close to him. I think i have a crush on him but i dont really know if he likes me at all.
He's confident, witty and a workaholic.
However, he gets shy/uncomfortable, when i ask him simple personal questions for eg: Do you go for swimming. I think he has a problem of talking about himself to new people or just not that friendly.
So one day, i gave him some sweets via his secretary (i didnt really know him that well at that time in office) and he was quite startled and stared at me and waited for me to say something when i bumped at him at the doorway.
He had those puppy eyes..but didnt say word!.
I pretended not to appear interested in him becos i was too shy.!
Later, i sent him email and was able to chat with him about work..and he responded quite well except that when i asked him for lunch, he just disappeared and dint reply yes/no.,,which was kind of weird. Cos he could have said no.
I managed to obtain his cellphone and he replies all my sms except the ones on personal questions.
I called him once but he was so weird and acted like a total stranger to me.
So how do i even talk to him tru the phone as a friend, if he's that shy since i dont see him anymore in office?
How do i get him to even talk to me like a normal friend?
Would appreciate your advice.

He seems very shy. Take things slowly. Don't ask personal questions if it makes him uncomfortable, at least not yet. Try to start small. Invite him for coffee or something, and try to stay within his comfort zone.

How can I make some of my pictures Black and White with some parts still colored? Do I need a special editing program? If so, where can I download a trial of it? Thanks :)

Photoshop or similar graphics editors are probably what you need. ^^
There is a free trial of photoshop on the adobe web site.

Where are some good places to scope out some Vintage clothing and jewelry? Not the new fake stuff, but the real thing.

Local thrift stores are best. Church thrift stores will often have gems if you look hard enough. Also, the boutique section of most thrift stores will have the nicest items.

So I have this extremely annoying friend. She always gets into other people's business and just creates more problems. She thinks she is cool and awesome but she's not. She is annoying and pushy. Whenever we whisper something into each others ears she goes insane and asks a hundred times "were you talking about me?" She never shuts up. I really want to ditch her but I feel bad. Like I was extremely close to her in fourth grade but nows she just a nusicance. How can I nicely tell her to leave me and my other friends alone for a while?
P.S- to explain the title she always wears a sweater with a print the lumberjacks wear so my friends call her "Lumberjack Audrey" and "Lumberjack Girl." (link)
|
Sounds like your friend had self esteem issues.
Just tell her straight what she does that bothers you. Be polite, but be frank. See how she reacts. She may ease up. If not, then just nicely tell her no. But don't ignore her, or try to dodge her. It seems rude and sneaky. Honesty is the best way to go.

Everyone keeps saying for really dry hair you should use olive oil to make it soft and smooth again. Well I did... now it wont come out. lol My hair is an oily mess! I've washed it 7 times already and it's still as oilly as before. HELP!!!! (link)
|
Dish soap. It gets oil out of anything, basically.
Also, for the dry hair, try a hot oil treatment. Not olive oil. I use Suave, personally. Also, try the Aussie Dual personality styling products. They have leave in conditioners.
