about

Hello! I am studying esthetics at an Aveda Institute after spending years in retail. I am proof that nothing turns out how you think it will, and that's a good thing. When you think you've got it figured out, you don't. Life would be boring otherwise, right?
Makeup, skincare, and psychology are my passions and I'm also happy to give advice on relationships, particularly for teenagers (so many things I wish I could have told myself a decade ago!) I'm happy to help fellow abuse survivors as well.
I'm a diehard SF Giants fan and also enjoy watching the Sharks and Niners. Addicted to music, especially The Gaslight Anthem. Oh, and my name is Krista. :)

I'm trying to promote my site, and have submitted my URL to Google, and a few other popular search engines. But I dont think it's enough. If anyone can give me a site where I can send my URL to a lot of search engines, that would be great! Thank you and I rate:)

For help on making a website: http://spacefem.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20638.

Also if you get a website from FereWebs, it enters it in ask jeeves, yahoo, dogpile, and a bunch of other search engines. Same with domain names from dot.tk.

My friend is over my house and we are running out of things to do to keep ourselves occupied. we are 13/f and real girly girl. and we can't go outside because of snow

Bake cookies. Gogle your names. Paint or draw. Give each other makeoves with before and after pictures. Give each other awful makeup on purpose...like teal eyeshadow, purple blush, and bright pink lipstick...go to bored.com and find a multiplayer game for you guys to do together.

hey men my girlfriend juss started goin out like 3 weex ago and im sorta scared to makeout wit her cuz i have braces and i dont kno how she would feel bout that

Braces really don't make a difference unless you like clang teeth or something. As a girl, I really don't care whether a guy has braces or not, so go for it!

See i vacumming the carpet down stairs and all of a sudden the vacum got all smelly and gross. whats wrong with it?

If you have a dog, the dog hair could be in there. Or maybe you vacuumed up something that smells bad. CHange the bag and it should go away.

lets say u have a boyfriend but some one asks you to dance with them at a dance .. do u ?
thanks !

Yeah, but only for half the song, then dance with your boyfriend. Don't dance too closely or anything though, and if the person is getting a little too comfy, you have the perfect alibi, "Okay, thanks for dancing. My boyfriend's over there though, so i'd better go."

But don't if you have a very possesive bf.

But why wouldn't you be dancing with your boyfriend?

well how to start... ok so me and my b/f have been experimenting alittle bit more lately, and the other day he started like kissing my boobs and sucking my nipples and stuff like that... well today they're really sore and they kinda sting/hurt... does anybody know why this is?? or what's causing it?

Well, before your period your boobs can be sensitive, so maybe that's it. Or maybe it's just growing pains. Just wait it out I guess.

Is it too early for sex if you've only gone out with the guy for 2 months? and dont tell me i shouldn't do it at all

My general rule is 4-6 months. You have to ask yourself a couple of questions: how long do you think you guys will go out? Is he ready? Are you ready? What will he do if you get pregnant? If you think he'll dump you if you're pregnant, then just don't. Use some protection, and don't think being pregnant won't happen to you- chances are small but still there. I'd recommend sticking with just oral- it's much safer.

Hey, this is mainly a question for girls. Alright, I have shaving gel, shaving cream, everything and everything to make shaving easier..and my legs smoother. EVERYtime I shave, which is usually during my shower, the day after..I have razor burn. It is..disgusting. Little red dots, and hairs..are already all over my pale legs. Is there ANYTHING I can do to prevent this? After I use a shaver three times, I have to get a new blade..is this normal? Becase..otherwise, the third time I use it, my legs get cut everywhere, and bleed. It suckssss. Help me, please. :/ Thankss.

Hmmm...well what kind of razor do you use? I love the Venus ones, they're expensive but way worth it. Also, make sure you're using a good breand of shaving gel, I like the Bath and BOdy Works kind. Finally, be gentle, and put on lots of lotion or body oil afterwards. If you have razor bump you need to get rid of, get a good salt scrub or scrubbing brush. Hope I helped!

So how do you talk to a girl when you're in ninth grade, have no classes with her and see her once a day surrounded by her friends? I really don't know much about her, but she seems like an interesting person. Anything is better than nothing.

Find out where she hangs out before school, after school, and at lunch. That's how my last boyfriend met me- we had no classes together, but I hung out in the library after school. Maybe sit a different place at lunch and if you don't see her, try another place.

I always study for test really hard. But all the time when I get the test back I made an F. I just get nervios and mess up. How can I get over it? I dont want to study all the time like I do and all I get is an F. It will really help me if yall tell me how to get over the freakking out on the test.THanks


I rate high (4&5)

It depends on what subject. For math, I go in to my teacher's room after school and he helps me study, or study with your friends. Don't have coffee or a lot of sugar the day of the test. Eat a good breakfast (ie cereal, 1 slice toast, orange juice and/or milk(. If you don't have the test in the morning bring a snack, being hungry messes up your nerves. Make yourself a study guide and review all your homework. Wear something comfortable, but make sure you like it so you feel good. Put your hair up so it's no in your face. Come prepared with binder paper, at least 3 pencils, an eraser, a black or blue pen, and a red pen (in case u correct it in class). Also take a deep breath before the test, maybe google some breathing exercises. Bring water but don't drink too much, or you'll have to go to the bathroom.

When it's time for the test, listen to the instructions very carefully and ask questions if you need to. Make sure it's crystal clear. Answer the easiest questions first (usually multiple choice) then go back to harder ones (like essay questions). For essay questions make an outline first so in case you don't finish writing the final draft, you'll still get partial credit.

I'd recommend talking to your teachers about this- they probably have more specific stratagies you can use.

Good luck!

hey, does anybody know of some acoustic songs for guitar that sound really good with just one guitar? (i already have "Time of Your Life" by Greenday and "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd) thanks so much!! -*jeanine

One of my favorites is "who will save your soul" by jewel. Also by jewel, "standing still" sounds good too.

ok ok, i just got my period for the first time this morning. now what! how do i know when it will come back? should i start with pads or tampons (now i'm using pads)? and ahh just please help!

thank-you!

Use pads your first couple of times. It'll last about 3 days. Just in case your pads leak, wear dark or old underwear that you don't care about. Also, just so you know, cold water works best for washing the stains out. It comes about every month, sometimes sooner, sometimes later, so keep a bag with supplies in your backpack or locker. If all else fails use TP but make sure it's secure.

If I were to make-out with someone with braces and I have braces would anything happen? Like would the wires get stuck together?? Thanks! xox!

Nope, not true. I have braces and I've always been fine. You don't really use your teeth...just make sure that if you have rubber bands in, you take them out, and that you have no loose wires. Oh, and make sure to brush your teeth first (LOL), cuz if food gets stuck in there it'll give you awful breath no matter how many breath mints you eat.

Honestly, I thought the same thing before my first time, but you'll be fine.

Hope I helped!

I was wondering if anyone knew any web-sites where they have hair cut idea or picutes of diffrent like hair styles. Thanx a bunch! xoxo - KrIsSy*

I'd recommend buying a magazine next time you're at the grocery store or whatever- I've seen some, or, as weird as it sounds, go to a wig website- they have all hair colors so you can see what it looks like with yours.

I really love the laid-back, hippieish, original style of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen...
Does anyone know where to get clothes that look alot like theirs for not too much money...I'm really not into spending 200 dollars on a teeshirt:-P

Hmmm...well, they actually have their own juniors line of jewelry and clothes and purses at Walmart, you could look there I guess.
