HAPPY 666 (6/6-06) HAHA :P

Okeey, here's the thing, I just got a new bulletin board to my room, and I wanna make it cool!

What can I put upexcept pictures (already done that) is there anythikng else, any ideas to make it look cool??

thanks!!

hey. you could paint funkny colored stripes on it, or just paint anything on it. or fill it with sequins, or those really cool flat bottom glass marble thingies. (http://www.notmartha.org/tomake/marblemagnets.html) you could maybe do something like reapolster the wood with some cool fabric that matches your room. good luck! hope this helps!! :] ♥-X-♥

-what is threading

thanks

hey.

threading is:

waxing is:

http://www.hairfacts.com/methods/waxing.html

i would wax. you can find more places that do it and i think that it would be less painfull. you can also do it in the comfort of you own home ;] hope this helps!! :] ♥-X-♥

can you bleach hair with straight bleach? or is it horrible for your hair?

hey. DONT DO IT! regular bleach will just take ALL of the color out of your hair and make it white. if thats what you want then go ahead, but if you go to a hair salon, they can bleach it for you. hope this helps!! :] ♥-X♥

i REALLY want to shop at a&f and hollister and stores like that. it's not because everyone else does, it's because personally i like there clothes. my parents make me shop at wal mart and it's messing up my social life. i hate wal mart's clothes and shit and my friends ask me why i don't wear the good brands. and it's not like my family can't afford good clothes, because my dad's a multi millionaire. they just don't understand WHY i want to spend so much on clothes. i've made up my mind and don't tell me it doesn't matter what i wear because i'll give you a 1. i need to prove to my parents that shopping at the expensive stores is worth it. and i can't make any money on my own because if i do, my parents say I CANT spend it on a&f and hollister clothes. it's messing up my social life. i wont have friends ever again because i cant wear nice clothes. im done with wal mart so what can i say to my parents so they'll let me shop where i want ?!? i'm old enough to choose where i want to purchase my clothes, especially when my dad was over 1 million dollars.

anything good will get you a 5
i promise

hey. the best thing that i would suggest would be to tell your parents that as long as you earn the money and use it to buy your own clothes then you should be able to shop where you want. i understand how you feel when your parents want you to shop at different stores then where you want too. it is so annoying! you can even tell them that not all the stuff at those stores is expensive. i have gone there and gotten some really good deals! hope this helps! :] ♥-X-♥

hey. this will work! hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

During the summer holidays i want to start a beauty regime, start eating healthily and exercising more.
Do you know:
a) a beauty regime that includes basically everything, hair, face, eyebrows, skin, hands, feet etc
b) a healthy eating diet that wont make me lose weight, just be healthier
c) a good exercise plan
Thanks, I'll rate, xxx

hey. if you want to have good hair, the best thing to do is to wash it often (about everyother day so it wont dry out). condition it. get your eyebrows waxed the first time and then after a while you can just use tweezers to pluck the stray hairs. (the waxers can tell you how to take care of them). you face should be rinsed (not scrubbed) when you wake up and when you go to bed. be sure to moistuize. find make up that is hypo-allergenic and wont clog your pores. here is a site that can help you put on your makeup:

** http://www.sachacosmetics.com/putonmakeup.htm

and here is a site that can help you care for your skin:

** http://www.coolnurse.com/skin_care.htm

if you want smooth hands then the best thing is to moisturize them. if you wash dishes, use gloves so that they wont dry out. you can do the same thing for your feet. manicures and pedicures are a great way to take care of your feet. they feel great after it too!
________________________________________________

if you want to be healthier the best thing to do is to just watch what you eat. if you watch what you intake, you will be healthier. try drinking more water and consume more calcium (milk products). here is a site about the food pyramid:

**http://kidshealth.org/kid/stay_healthy/food/pyramid.html
_________________________________________________

people (esp. teens) are recommended to get at least 40 minutes of excercise each day. that is easier in the summer because there is so much to do! you can ride a bike, play a sport, go swimming, go for a walk or a jog. just be sure to drink PLENTY of water when it is hot out becasue you dont want to get dehydrated.

alrighty. i hope that you got that all and i hope it helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

hey. there are products from John Frieda like Brilliant Brunette and such. is that what you are thinking of? hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

hey i saw some girl asking about canal street in new york. well is there any other streets in new york similiar to canal street? IRATEHIGH*

I'm 13, and basically, I have pretty bad breats. It's genetic. Small and pointy, and barely 32A. (I suspect it's probably going to stay that way too, because I started developing 5 years ago and my whole family looks like me) Do you think I'd look ridiculous if I wore a bikini to the pool next week? If so, what would look ok?

hey. you shouldnt be ashamed or embarassed because everyone is different. but i dont want to lecture you. bikinis can look good on anyone! (well, almost anyone ;p) you can get a bikini that has some padding in it that can give you some boobage. i think that it will be fine. as long as the bathing suit is cute, people wont care. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

okay, so i have curly and frizzy and not very shiny hair ..does anyone know a good product for straightening? something that can get it unfrizzed and straighten and make it shiny if possible? i need something that really works, please help! i will rate highh!

hey. you can use Sleek and Shine products by Garnier Fructis or you can try Frizz-Ease Hair Serum by john freida. you can also try straighting it with a straighting iron. also, try Physique Keep It Straight. that works well also. you can go to your local hair salon and get a chemical relaxer that will straighten it and make it shiner. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

does pinching your cheeks give your face color? i dont mean pinching it hard so it hurts, but just a little pinch.

hey. i dont think that pinching your cheeks will give your face color. you can always try it out though! hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

I have light brown hair, blue eyes, and light skin. I need to know what color eyeliner is best for me and how i should apply it, and what kind i should get. Also, what color mascara and what kind do you reccomend (brands, etc.)

hey. any brown shade of eyeliner would be good. i use Maybeline "Unstopable". it stays on all day and doesnt smudge much. here is a site that you can look at:
* http://www.ehow.com/how_157_apply-eyeliner.html
for the mascara: i use the color brownish-black of Maybeline Great Lash. you can always experiment and see what fits you best. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

my hair is a little longer than shoulder length.

i have very drastic layers and side bangs.

my hair is naturally wavy, just a little.

i have 2 questions::
my hair only dries curly when i let it air dry. is there any thing that i could put in my hair [wet or dry] that would make it wavy/curly but so i can blow dry it???

and secondly, my hair grows VERY slow and i want my hair longer, is there anything that i could use to make it grow faster?

ill rate 5s THANK YOUUUUUUU

hey. i found that garnier fuctis surf hair works good. you can spray it in your hair and then blow dry it into tossiled curls/waves. you can get it at any convience store and it is like $3. you could also use a diffuser on your hair dryer. this adds curls/waves and adds more volume. if your hair doesnt grow very fast, then the best thing to do is to consume the right amount of proteins and nutritions. here are some sites that can help you care for your hair:

http://www.healthyhairplus.com/hair_stimulant_shampoo.htm

http://www.hair-news.com/hair-grow-long.html

hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

heyy... and a diffuser is an attachment that can be put on your hairdryer. it has long prongs on it. here is a pic for you:

I was wondering if rollers would give me the same effect if i put them in my hair while it was still damp/wet. would it give me nice spiral curls or just make it frizzy? anything i could put in it to take out the frizz?

hey. you would have better curls if you have wet hair. they will stay in longer and wont be ask frizzy. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

I am 13/female and am excited for summer! there is this one bathing suit that i really really want, but i think it might be a waste of money. it is one of those terry cloth bikini's by Juicy Couture. and they cost 60 (!) dollars each. is this just paying for the designer name or should i get it? xoxoxo leesh

hey. my advice would be to buy the bathing suit. if you like it and it fits you well then you might as well spend a little more. what i do is i buy something, see if i still like it a week later (without wearing it), and if i like it i keep it but if i think that it isnt that practicle, then i return it. you can also look around at different stores to see if they have any similar colors or styles for a lower price. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥
