about

My name is Melissa. I'm a sophomore, and finally SWEET 16. So, I'll be driving on January 7th. I usually go by May or Mel. In the picture is myself and my AMAZING boyfriend Kyle. He's truly my entire world & I'm not sure how I got lucky enough to get someone like him. I don't like girls. They're fake, and I just in general dislike most girls. Little known fact? There are times I hate my best friend, I mean, hate hate. She drives me insane. When I'm close friends with a girl it's a big deal. As far as best friends go; I have Kyle, who's the most amazing boyfriend in the world; Jennifer Anne Reese aka: PIECUP.. she's one of the few girls I'm close to. I'm generally a nice person, if I like you. If I don't, you'll know it.

In college I want to major in psychology; with a minor in wedding planning or some type of organizational planning type thing. I'm a planning freak. I ALWAYS have a plan, and if you don't plan stuff ahead of time, I'll probably kill you. I tend to change my plan spur of the moment a lot, but I always have one. Lol, one of those weird things about me.


I'm not that much of a "laid back" person. In general, I have my opinion, and I'm going to win. Drama = stupid. But just like every other girl on the planet, I definitely start my share of the drama. I don't like it, but it follows me like a puppy, so I'll just admit I start stuff.

I like giving advice. I've been through a lot, and I want to help people in any way I can. If you'd rather email or IM me, feel free to ask. ♥

advice

does anybody have any suggestions on halloween coustumes..

I'm being "myself". Literally.

Lol my friends & I are making tee's that on the front say: "We couldn't find costumes, so we're being ourselves"

Then putting our "names" on the back. Mine's going to say "Dizty Blonde" or "No, I'm knot the blonde one."

Lol it's just something fun. I think we might also tie die our shirts, so that will be fun. Good luck!

I'm going to a fancy dress party in November and really want a cool outfit. I'm 15 and petite, and want something that looks cute/hot but definately not slutty. You can wear anything (it's not a Halloween party) and I can afford to buy some pieces for it, but I don't want anything too difficult. If you make a suggestion, could you also please suggest how I could make it?
Ok, thanks, I'll rate for good advice,

Hmmm.. go to a store & either buy or make a black dress. Just something simple and cute. Then add ribbons to make it look nicer.

If you're a more unique type person, decorate it with buttons, ribbon, stuff like that.

If you're more traditional / classic, try lace ribbon. (=

Hope it helped!

My homecoming dance is on Saturday and my dress is black, just plain black with like a ruffle around the waist. I want to add more color to my dress so i was thinking of buying a ribbon to tie on my dress or something. Does anyone have any good ideas what color ribbon i should get to match my black dress? And where could i get a ribbon that i can wear? I rate high for good answers.

Pink, white, yellow. Any color. Or you could get a couple colors to put on there. Just remember that all colors match black. (=

You can get the ribbon from pretty much anywhere. Wal-Mart, Target, a mall.. etc. Or, for some more unique ribbon with patterns, lace, etc, go to a fabric store. Like JoAnn Fabrics, Micheals. Also, craft stores. Good luck.
♥ Melissa

Edit; White WOULD look good. (= Also, if it would look okay, look for the lace type ribbon. It would look really classic and girly. If that's not your kinda style, try polka dots or something like that. Have fun at homecoming!

Hi

i was wonderin if these types of bows would look weird in your hair
http://babygiftsupply.com/prodimg/bow-colors2.jpg

because some people wear bows like that but their like..different and i don't know where to get them!! do any of you know? and where can you get those little hair clips that are plastic and sparkly and they have them in different colors and their like little birds and flowers and stuff like that..if you please let me know where to buy the 1)bows 2) the hair clips ..please i really want them they are soo cute!! ♥ thanks a lot!

Okay, for the bows, just buy ribbon, cut it to the size you want, and tie it into your hair. Clips can be found at beauty supply stores, or places like Wal-Mart and Target. I suggest Claire's. (=

I just bought a pair of very old school Madden Sneaker Boots. They're brown about mid-calf length high.
It's too cold to wear a skirt and I don't want to wear jeans because they cut them off.
What do I wear with them?

Wear a skirt with tights or something like that. )= The cold weather messes everything up!

16/f. I'm going on vacation tomorrow. What stores sell plain halters, tanks & spaghetti straps for really cheap and in different colors? I just want the plain kind... nothing on them, and I want to buy a few of them. Thanks.

I suggest Weathervane, Delias, Forever 21, American Eagle. Kohls is also really good for plain shirts, and they're cheap!

whats the best coverup.. like the coverup to cover your pimples..?

I suggest Mary Kay if you can afford it. If not, I suggest Mabeline. [Mineral, or True Blend.] Get both powder and liquid, that makes it more even.

Ok, I am about to get a haircut, but I need to make a decision on what kind of hair cut. I have an oval shaped face and my skin is tannish olive, and my hair a little bit below my chest by my boobs, and it is golden blonde. I realy need to find a nice haircute, please not shorter then the shoulders, and I would appreciate pictures of the haircut. :D

Try something like Ashlee Simpson's layers with sideswept bangs. That would be REALLY cute!! Go to this picture [http://wizbangblog.com/images/ashlee_simpson04_c.jpg], it's what I'm suggesting but make your bangs more divided, so they look side swept.

Hey hey hey... thanks ahead of time. I will rate and leave feedback if it's wanted, but anyways- i dyed my hair about two weeks ago and I absolutely HATE the color of it. I thought that I heard of something called Stripping... which is where you get your hair color stripped and it will go back to your natural color. Is this something real and is it bad for your hair, how much does it cost? Thanks

Yes, you can get your hair stripped. I would suggest you don't do it though. Just layout a lot, and it will naturally fade by laying out and washing it. That's a lot cheaper, and it doesn't damage your hair as much. Just wait about a month before using anymore dye on your hair! [=

My mom gave me her old messenger bag and it's in pretty good condition. It's purple. But when we put it in the wash, we forgot that a pen was in there. It leaked on the black part on the inside, so it looks like a copper splotch. Is there any way that I could make this look like it belongs or hide it? We threw away the busted pen.

I would suggest that you do the same thing so there are a couple more copper-ink spots. Then it would look like it was suposed to be there!

Hey, I was wondering does anyone know any cute hairstyles? I have straight, long black hair. I was thinking about long sideswept bangs and layers, but that seems sort of blase. I'll rate high!

Actually, layers and long sideswept bangs look good on almost anybody. Plus, if you decide you don't like it, that's what grows out the quickest! Good luck!

Next week is my best friend's birthday. I wanted to get her something that she'd really like so I decided to get her a necklace from Tiffany and Co. Their are two necklaces that I like, so I thought that I would ask you guys which one you liked better. Price doesn't matter. Here are the links to the two necklaces:

http://www.tiffany.com/shopping/item.aspx?c_id=WEB1&c_it=57H2&start_id=31&CategoryId=13&category=Jewelry&

^ I was planning on putting her initials on that one. Do you think people would think that that necklace with the initials might be fake since it doesn't say return to tiffany on it and since you don't usually see it with the initials?


And here's the other one:

http://www.tiffany.com/shopping/item.aspx?c_id=WEB1&c_it=57H2&start_id=31&CategoryId=13&category=Jewelry&
^click on the picture of that one to see what it would look like on your neck.


Thanks!

Are those both the same links?? But I definitely like it, that's SO sweet for you to do for your best friend. Definitely get it!

i was wondering if anyone knew how to cut pants into skirts. because i have like 3 pairs of pants that fit in the waist but dont fit in the legs. so if anyone could help i rate high!

If you're good with sewing then you should be able to do it. Cut the jeans up to around your thighs then cut the inside leg part out of the jeans. Then sew down the middle, [front & back] and make some kind of design so that it's less visible. Good luck!

I have natural wavy hair. Most of the time I straighten it but I really want to style it like Jessica Simpsons or Mary-Kate and Ashelys. - They have light curls that are not to big or drastic. Everytime I try to use my curling iron to get that look I get this big crease at the top. I was wondering if you knew how to do this and if so if theres any specific products to use? Thanks !! =D

Try getting a larger curling iron [2.5 or 3 inches] and do spirals then pull them apart. That should give you big waves, and a few spirals. Any kind of curling serum should work well. [= Good luck! If you have any other questions, leave another one in my inbox.

I have long straight hair and I part it on the side and I want to get sweeping bangs. I want them short enough to be able to leave them out when I put the rest of my hair up.. but I don't want them to get in my eyes and be annoying. So how long should they be?

Try to go to your mid-cheekbone. That's how long mine are and they aren't in your eyes, but they don't look ridiculous when you leave them down. [=

Okay so my mom will not let me get new furniture for my room or do anything that is major so is there any way like that i can decorate my room but not like major redecorating like hanging pictures up and stuff?

Try getting pictures of friends, family stuff like that and taping them up. Some other things would be stuff from magazines, cd covers, posters. Get words [or pictures] out of magazines and make collages then hang them on the wall. Just find a lot of colorful things and it will make the room brighter and look newer. Just remember, don't get TOO many things, it may begin looking TOO busy. Good luck!

Axe or Tag body spray. Both are cheap, and girls LOVE it!

ok you asked me if my hair is better pulled up or done or if it curls well i think it looks better down but i like it better up i think it looks good in the middle and it depends i dont no exactly what u mean like if i scunch it no it doent curl that easily but if i put it up in a messy bun or braids then yea thanx for answering so quick get back to me please

Here's what I would suggest [If you don't like it, leave another question in my Inbox and we can think of something else]: Try putting your hair half up, with some strands left down in the front. Then, the part that is put up, spiral curl that. If you don't like the back curled, try the strands at the front. Just give that a try BEFORE the first day, and if you don't like it, I can send you another idea. Good luck babe!
