I have been through some tough times in my life so I really do know what I am talking about. Yeah, and I hate writing these things because I never know what to say!!!!
advice
Can anyone tell me a quick way to wash cabbages, greens, fruits, etc clean with no dirt in it?
I haven't did it for a long time so I forgot and I didn't want to tell me dad when he told me to. Last time I took an hour and he yelled at me because they STILL had dirt in it. I was soaking them for hours and they still had dirt, or that I couldn't see them =( it makes me feel realyl bad when my dad scolds me
hey...something that works for me to is use a veggie scrubber( most people use them to scrub dishes) while they are under cold, running water. Don't feel bad about your dad, I feel bad when my dad scolds me too!!! Hope this helped!!!
im 14/f
my face is REALLY pale.
and im going to las vegas in may.
so im thinking about going tanning a couple times before going to las vegas so that my face will become a natural color, and so that i wont burn really badly in las vegas.
is this a bad idea?
im not really for the tanning bed, i know that they can cause skin cancer, but so can the sun. and im not going to get TAN.
and about how many time would i need to go just to get my fae a natural color?
tanning beds really aren't THAT bad, as long as you don't go too much..if you went like once or twice a week a month before you leave, it should build up a fair base tan. As far as spray on tans or something..they don't work,i have used them and know people that have used them and we have all gotten orange and little bumps on the skin were it was applied. Seriously, tanning beds are so bad!
I had a few (maybe 3) bumps on my pelvic region (not actually on my vagina or in anywhere used for sexual activity)...I had these bumps in these upper area where the triangle of a bathing suit would cover. They were small and red and after itching them, one got extremely painful if touched too hard and appeared to be a whitehead. Then they dissappeared and have not come back...I'm pretty worried, and my boyfriend and then me are getting tested to make sure nothing is wrong (I am sexually active with my boyfriend). Could this be anything serious?
alright..this is probably going to sound a little weird..but did you shave that region before you got those bumps, because if you did, it was probably just razor burn...
Hey,
I'm getting my hair done and i wanna know what color to get..so im gonna ask whats hotter? blondes or brunetts?
for me....even though I am a blonde right now and naturally..i really prefer my hair dark, but that's my own personaly oppion... but I actually don't have a preferance, dark is really cute thought... so I would say go with dark, it's a lot of fun!!!!
okay well i've gotten my period before, but i have a few questions. does your discharge get heavier before your period? like i've been getting my period for a few monthes now, but just now i noticed my discharge getting a lot heavier and i was wondering why? oh and i really don't want to be gross right now or anything, but can you get gas from your period too? thanks so much, this will really help me understand things better.
Yeah, your discharge does get a little bit heavier, it's your body's way of preparing you for your period. Yes, gas is normal when you have your period, it's what happens when you are bloated, so I hope this helped!
Ok so when I dont blow dry or straighten my hair.
[let it air dry]
It dries sorta wavy,
but is there anything I can spray on it
or something to make the waves more defined, or even curls?
and shiny, so it doesnt loook all dull?
thanks.
There are brands of Shampoos out there taht make products that help you get a just start on curly/straight hair. One that probably will work the best is by John Freeda (sp??!!) they have a line that helps your hair curl and it's a very reliable brand, so i assume it works! I hope this helps!
Today I recieved a copy of Cosmo Girl instead of Elle Girl. Instead was a letter stating why. Apparently Elle Girl is no longer in publication and I will be issued Cosmo Girl magazines in place of Elle Girl until my Elle Girl subscription runs out. Why is Elle Girl not in existence anymore? I am confused!
yeah, that happened to me too, but I got Seventeen. I don't really know why they stoped publication,but hey, atleast the last cover was a good one, Adam Brody!! ok, sorry, um, but i've heard of this happening before, the company may have been bought out or maybe there just weren't enough subscribers. I hope this had helped!
i recently got a pregnancy test after beng 4 days late for my period and it came out negative its now gone another 6 days and that means im 10days late on my period could i be pregnant and are the tests ever wrong???please write bak and answer my questions luv me xxxxxxxxxx
you usually have to wait for the second missed period, because girls who are a little younger tend to just skip periods sometimes because of their bodie changing and what not. The home tests are pretty reliablembut if it gets to be the second missed period and the test still says negative, i would see a doctor to they can do some tests to check if you are pregnant. I hope this was helpful, good luck!
What's a healthy diet to lose about 10 pounds in 13 days without starving myself and eating healthy. how much excersize do i have to do? and how much do i have to run for and how long? i need all those answers and any advice i can get
losing that much weight in that little amount of time is VERY unhealthy and it's very unlikly that it will happen without you eating healthy. You would have to run something like 10 miles a day to burn enough calories. I really don't suggest you try to lose that much weight, irt's very bad for your body and health. If you want to lose weight, count your calories and try to stay under about 2000 a day. Also,try to get atleast 45 min of excersise in per day, but not more that like 1.5 hours. hope this is helpful!
14/f. i babysit A LOT for my neighbors. but whenever i babysit them i always eat sooo much. even if i'm not hungry i eat. like if i have to feed the kids, i'll eat. and even if i'm not feeding the kids and they are watching tv i will go into the kitchen and eat. whatever i eat is always junk food. like cookies, chips, candy, etc. what can i do to take my mind off of eating while i'm there? i've tried bringing gum with me to chew when i think about eating, but that doesn't work. HELP!
i know, i've got the same problem! But here's a few things that I have found to work. If the kids are busy or in bed or something, bring a book or homework or paper and a pencil to draw/write, this helps you keep busy and your mind off eating! Also, try bringing your own food and make it healthy stuff or if you REALLY feel you need to eat from there, eat healthy stuff. I hope this has helped!
Guys ask me out alot. I hear the same things alot like "your very beautiful" or "I love your smile" or "There's something about you that I can't resist." I know it's just a date but becuase of this I'm rather reluctant to accept. Just how do I tell who's for real and who's not?
There are a lot of ways to tell if a guy is being genuin. First off, when he's asking you out, if he looks you in the eye and not at your chest or something, that means he wants you for more than your body. Also, if the reasons he's asking you out are things other than physical, such as "I love your sence of humor" or "You're so smart and sweet" or something like that. I know, figuring guys out is really hard, but I hope this helped a bit!
My friend (19 Male) like just broke up with his girlfriend. I dont know what happened or why it ended. But i ended up going away so i can finish my show. But when i came back He was away. And his message was like "My heart is in pain & that i can never do anything right."
Every relationship he has been in has ended badly.
I really like this guy & i hate even reading things like that. We dont really talk except for online & whenever i see him at church. I told him that i liked him along time ago & havent really said anything else about it.
Is there anything i can say to him to make him feel better?
There really isn't anything you can do to make him feel better, a break up in extremely tough. But, what you can do is just let him know that you are there whenever he may need someone to tlak to or just be around. Something else that might help is trying to find out what happened and why it ended. I hope this has helped!
How do you ask a guy whether or not he has a girlfriend, with out just coming directly out and saying it?
I think coming out and asking him would be the best idea! In conversation just be like, "Hey, are you seeing anyone right now?" It's really the easiest way!
if you are under the age of 14 and you have not had your period would it be bad for your body to use a tampon when you do get your period?
First off, I don't agree with the person who gave you advice before me. Using a tampon when you first start is perfectly fine! I've used them since I started getting my period, and I haven't had any problems! The way to make sure that you are comfortable when wearing a tampon is having the right size and having it in the proper position. To start out I would try wearing a regular,if that is too big, wear a lite/junior or if it is too small, wear a super. To make sure you have it in correctly, you want to put it in at the same angle as the "hole" and push it back pretty far, probably just a little further taht you actually want to. Also, so make it more comfortable to go in, try a plactic applicator instead of a cardboard one! Hope this all helps you!
I have always wondered if you burn calories when you talk, sing or laugh. I know this is a weird question!
You burn calories whenever you are moving, even when you are sleeping. So, yeah, talking, singing. and laughing burn calories, but not much!
what is Ex Lax and is it bad for you?
Ex Lax is something that people take when they are constipated, and no it's not bad for you as long as you follow the dircetions on the packaging!
i am 13 years old and i have developed breasts but i still havent gotten my period yet. I know that all girls are different but i just want to know when i will get it and if i can wear tampons when i do.
It's very normal to get boobs before you get your period! There is no way to predict when you will get your period, but you will know that it's coming when you get crampy and possibly a little more tired than usaul. As for using tampons, I personaly wore tampons my first period and don't even use pads, but if you try tampons and they don't feel right, then you should try pads out just for a little while! Hope I've helped!
My knee has been like hurting lately.
When I say lately, I mean for about a 3 weeks?
It like hurts when I move it a certain way and cracks a lot.
Like yesterday, I barely bumped it on my computer desk.
And it hurt so bad, I nearly cryed.
Going to the doctors is not an option.
My mom thinks its all in my head.
What could be wrong?
I have the same problem with my knees. Depending on how old you are, it could be growing pains and any sort of other things, but no matter what it is, take some tylenol or something like that and get a brace or wrap it up and switch between icing it for 20 min and then not. That should help it feel better!
alright, i'm 15 and I"ve had my period for over 2 or 3 years, but i've never tried tampons. This morning I tried one, but its extreamly uncomfortable, getting up or sitting down, unless my legs are spread apart its almost painful. am I doing something wrong? is that normal?
PLZ, any advice you have, please post
Thank you!
There are a few things that could have happened. One could be that the tampon you used is too big, so it doesn't fit correctly. I would suggest using a regular sized one to begin and if you need bigger, than use bigger. Another thing that could have happened is that it was not in straight or not in far enough. Make sure you go in at the angle that the "hole" is and push it pretty far in, you'll want to stop a little ways before you actually need to. I hope this stuff helped!
My wife and I have been married for 13 years. I'm 39 and she's 40 and we've been together since i was 22 and she was 23. Lately, she's been down and I'd like to put a letter from a "secret admirer(me)" in her car and see if that perks her up. Ideally, I'd put an email address in it and see if she would contact me at it. Does anyone here have any good ideas for a secret admirer letter or can someone draft one up for me? I wanted to make it seem like it's from a local man that thinks she's beautiful. I can be reached at ericmsdw2005@yahoo.com
thank you!
What I think you should do is just drop her sweet, romantic notes from YOU, rather than the whole "Secret Admirer" thing, because I can just see that coming back up bad in the end. In the notes, tell her how much you love her and how much she means to you. Also, what you could do is take notice in the little details that you hadn't noticed before and complament her on them, like say if she got a hair cut, tell her that is really brings out her beautful face, or something. I hope this was of some help to you!
