how do i make a messy ponytail.

like all perky and like messy around where the rubberband goes.

i couldn't find a picture, but i hope you know what im talking about :]

Go to sleep with a neat ponytail, and when you get up it will be a messy ponytail, trust me!

And if it's a messy bun that you want here's some advice:

There are two ways to make this style. However, they both start off the same. Collect all your hair in a high ponytail. You can do this by flipping your hair upside down and gathering all your hair in one spot. It's helpful to use a paddle brush for this step.
For the first way, wrap your elastic twice around your hair, then pull your ponytail half-way through the elastic. Pull some bits and pieces out from inside the half-ponytail so it's hanging down. Another cool thing is to leave out wisps around the nape of your neck.
For the second way, secure your elastic around your hair tightly into a pontyail.
To continue the second way, coil your hair around the base of your ponytail as if you were putting it in a ballerina bun. Then, flatten the bun to your head and secure with an elastic. Try pinning it with bobby pins- when done well, this helps the look a lot. Pull out bits and pieces and shake your head until you achieve the desired effect.

Ok, so I'm one of those shy guys that doesn't know how to approach a girl...But there's this girl I like, and she's like one of my bestfriends and I don't know how to tell her I like her...Anyone have an ideas??

Definitely! All right, here's what I got for you

- get one of your girl or guy friends to ask her what she thinks about you beyond a 'friends' level :)
- if she says something like 'eww no' go to point 5
- if she says something like 'I wish, I don't know how to give him a hint' ...you make a move! Move on to the next point
- Now you should probably tell her how you feel. Don't be scared, just be honest and yourself. Confidence is sexy ;)
- If this all works out okay, you should then go up to her and ask her if you two would like to go out for the movies or something, and if she asks, 'like a date?' then say 'yes!' confidently. =] If it all works up to here, then skip the next point
- If she said something like 'eww no' to the idea of being more than just friends, then you should probably do subtle things that'll get her to change her mind. Such as, making her laugh more, spending more time with her, getting a little closer to her without getting too close (giving her more hugs), and then ask her out on a date. If this fails then you should just move on, I know it might be hard but I bet there are many other girls you might like!

Risks:
-You must like your friend enough to risk losing the friendship over - it may occur, but this is just the worst that could happen. Therefore, it's also a rare chance.

Tips:
- Don't be shy in asking her out!
- Do a few romantic things for her to help her think of you more as a 'date' than a 'friend' (ex: give a rose/candies, a kiss, etc) :)
- Also remember if it doesn't work out, she just probably doesn't deserve a great guy like you ;)!

Wish you all the best, and if you need any more help just send one in to my inbox! :)

is it normal for a 13 year old (normal weight, 5'7) to be a bra size 34 DD?
when does one stop growing?

Hey there! In terms of bra sizes, there really isn't a 'normal'. It's really just based on hereditary traits. It may or may not stop growing it all depends on the individual - but I say keep your head up and don't worry about them! If it keeps growing or you become uncomfortable with them, then in a few years you can talk to your mom and doctor about getting breast reduction done. Wish you all the best, and what I can say for now is to relax and not feel self conscious about them :) ♥ always

I'm 16 (i'll be 17 in june) and I don't get my period. When I was 13 I got for about 3 or 4 months then it stopped. When i waz 14 it came for about 2 or 3 months and hasn't come back since. What could be wrong with me?

I have heard about this. It's nothing not normal, but it would be best to talk to your doctor about it, and he'll help you out. But some reasons for having irregular periods include illness, rapid weight change, or stress and can also make things more unpredictable because the part of the brain that regulates periods is influenced by stuff like this. Some girls always have irregular periods; others get theirs every 28 days like clockwork. Many are regular most of the time, but occasionally skip a period or get an extra period during times of pressure or stress. In fact, you may notice that when you go on a trip or have a major change in your schedule your period is late. Some teens may develop irregular periods - or stop having periods altogether - as a result of a hormone imbalance. Disorders of the thyroid gland can cause menstrual irregularities if the levels of thyroid hormone in the blood become too low or too high. Some women have irregular periods because their bodies produce too much androgen, which is a hormone that causes increased muscle mass, facial hair, and deepening of the voice in males and the development of pubic hair and increased height in girls. High amounts of androgen can also cause hair growth on the face, chin, chest, and abdomen, and is sometimes associated with excessive weight gain.

I forgot my rough draft for my book report + my final for it is due monday FIRST PERIOD. what do i do. its worth like half my grade + im already doing bad in that class.

britnee

Hi! Here are the options:

-Contact the teacher and explain your situation somehow (through email or phone)
-Maybe you can have someone fax you important sheets? Or re-do the rough draft?
-Get your parents to write a note to your teacher making up an excuse (but first convince your parents to do that - explain that it was an accident and to beg them to help you out just this one time) :)
-Go early on Monday to meet your teacher and explain the situation.
- AND MOST OF ALL: R.E.L.A.X. Seriously, I've been in your situation before and it all works out, trust me. & good luck. If you need anything else, just send one to my inbox. Much love!! xoxo

PLEASE !!! i need to find a good (which means NOT ghetto/crappy/cheapo) acting/modeling agaency! does anyone have ANY ideas???? I rate 5's...helpful or not!

Well it depends on the location, but I definitely wouldn't go with Barbizon, or any of the mainstream ones that advertise in magazines and in the radio. Usually the best ones and the most unknown because they are kind of like a secret. You might want to research some models who are from your area and look at their biography to see which modelling agency they were from. Or you can find a ton through google by searching that topic. Good luck hun, and if you need anything you can drop one in my inbox. Hope I helped!

Well, I am hoping to get some input from the guys, but, anyone is welcome to answer if they know. I have a crush on someone right now & I think he likes me back. We flirt & joke around all the time. My actual question is...Do guys kinda sit at home & think about girls they have an attraction to, like we do? And if anyone knows, what kind of things do they think about if they do like you? Thankx!

They definitely DO think about that. If they like you they might think of ways of how to impress you or ways on how to talk to you, and if they REALLY like you they may even fantasize about you. Guys are humans too lol. So, yes, they do think about all of that stuff as much as us girls do, but they're just better at hiding it. =) Hope I helped, and if you need anything else just drop one in my inbox.

okay i am overweight a little and i really want to lose my weight over the summer. the thing is i have to do it by having fun otherwise i lose interest and stop. so i decided to lose weight by jumping on a trampeline every day for a good amount of time. my question is, is this a good way to lose weight? also can you lose a lot? and what are some more fun activities like this? thanks wil rate high.

Yes, jumping on a trampoline is a good way to keep your heart rate up, making you lose calories, and thus to lose weight, and it is effective. If you want to see how many calories you'll burn doing it, type in your weight and select 'trampoline' at this website: http://www.fatburn.com/free_tool_activity_burn.asp. It's just not as effective as some OTHER things you can do. For example, if you're willing to shell out some money, I highly reccomend turbo jam (go to beachbody.com). It is the best home video you can buy to lose weight. Another way is to go to a gym, if you can afford it, and attend some hip/hip, pilates, yoga classes, and work out in the gym. An inexpensive alternative is to go jogging for about 45 min. every day, (you can even listen to your ipod while doing it if you have one). Some OTHER inexpensive alternatives are swimming (10-30 laps a day), and dancing and jamming out to your favorite songs about an hour a day. Good luck sweetie, and if you need anything else drop one in my inbox. Let me know how it goes too.

when i run i lose my breath so easily! i'm in good shape and run a lot but after 7 yards of running, i feel like i'm going to pass out! is it normal to have to stop running for a second and catch your breath?! when i was running a mile, i had to stop to catch my breath about 8 times. is it normal to have to stop? and what can i do to stop this so i can run long distances without stopping?

Just take a few breaks to start with. Like, whenever you need just start walking, and when you feel re-energized run again. And it is DEFINITELY normal to have to stop. What you can do to be able to run long distances without stopping is to practice. Time yourself to see how long you can go without having to stop, and push yourself but pace yourself as well. If you keep doing this everyday for a few weeks, you'll see the numbers go up as you'll be able to hold out/run longer without having to stop. Good luck!

I JUST got my permit the other day--and so today, I BEGGED my mom to let me drive out of our parkway---yeaaaah didn't turn out so well because I had NO FRICKIN' clue what I was doing. She kept yelling at me--and it scared me! I know this sounds incredibly hilarious because I'm laughing about it now--but I was REALLY scared. Anyway, tomorrow I'm driving around tomorrow at driver's ed and I don't want the instructor to think I'm an idiot. I have NO EXPERIENCE whatsoever. Today (with my mom) was the FIRST time in my life I have sat in the driver's seat and put the keys in. I didn't even know how to put the key in until my mom told me. I NOW realize that BRAKES are the most important thing EVEEEEEER. Does anyone have any tips for me tomorrow..so I don't look stupid? PS. I'm 16! :) Thanks!!

People go to drivers ed when they want to learn, so don't worry about it! You will learn all you need to know from him/her and you won't look stupid because believe me, they've had their share of drivers and there have probably been a ton worse. Just relax and go with a good attitute! You might want to just tell the driver instructor that you are starting from the absolute beginning and have never driven before. Good luck sweetie, and driving isn't that hard to pick up, and it's easy to get the hang of it so as soon as you know it, you'll be driving out of your parkway confidently AND going wherever your heart desires with the car & with your new found driving experience. If you need anything else just drop one in my inbox. Hope I helped hun.

All these girls in my school wear low cut shirts, and short short skirts. My school dosen't enforce the dress code at all. What bothers me is when I'm caught looking at some girl's clevage they say things like, "Hey!" I just get kinda angry because why do all these girls wear clothes like that then not like it when people stare at there ass n' stuff. I just don't get it. They get all upset when guys try to touch them and stuff. That I can understand. But they have to understand that gusy act like that becaues they dress the way they do. My question is: Why do girls dress like that, then be mad at everyone for acting the way that they do?

Most do it because they are being a tease. A tease is basically someone who flirts but will never go past that. So by wearing short skirts and low cut shirts they are in a way flirting by getting attention from boys, but they don't want anything beyond that because they are being a tease and are playing hard to get.

is it possible to have 2 ipods on one computer with different librarys and different songs, if so how?

No, unfortunately you can't. But you can have seperate playlists. It does kind of stink, and I wish you could have more than one ipod on a computer. But the reason you can't is because the computer can't identify which playlist belongs to which ipod, and according to the makers of ipod it supposedly cuts back on file sharing (people copying music from each other) -- but I mean yeah right, people still have kazaa and limewire so I don't see the point. -Hope I helped- if you need anything else just drop one in my inbox.

So, I'm sixteen years old, going into Junior high, and haven't lost my first kiss. Honestly, is this a good thing or a bad thing in guys eyes? I've had chances to lose it, but i feel its really important. Help. :\

Hey! No it's not a big deal at all. A lot of guys even like it when they are a girls first kiss because they feel special. And there are SOME guys that like a girl with experience, but these guys wouldn't be worth your time and are often players. If you need anything else just drop one in my inbox.

Ok well I have wavy and puffy hair. I just got cut it in layers, it looks good...but I want it kinda like straight yet wavy. What I mean is that I want my hair the same but not puffy. I have tried different things and it's the same. Suggestions?

Yes! I absolutely know what you mean & I often have the same problem. What you need to do is apply a frizz control gel to your hair. I reccomend Tigi Control Freak Serum.

thanx to anyone that helps.

-Mia

Hey! There are a ton of ways to do that - the art of flirting. Hehe. First off, you can use what's called 'Mirroring Body Language'. It's just a fancy way of calling what you do when you copy, or 'mirror' the other person's body movements. For example if he puts his arm around you - you put your arm around him & if he runs his hands through your hair, you do the same to him. Next, when you talk to him you can whisper. It's a classic trick, give him a compliment by whispering in his ear. Also you while seeing him in the hallway, smile, and then drop something. If he's a nice guy, he'll most likely pick up whatever you dropped for you - and it's the perfect time to chat up! You could also give him the head to toe look and then smile - meaning you like what you see! But these things aren't obvious at all, which is really awesome. You can also give him a nickname. It's a flirting trick used by many people and it's to create an inside joke between the two of you. (For instance, if he drinks a lot of soda, call him sodapop). Good luck!
