How to change during the summer?

I've lost a lot of friends this year. Idk why. And everyone seems to be getting prettier than me which makes me think they're too good for me. I want to get way tan this summer, get my teeth whitened, and get extensions even tho my hair is already WAYY long. Do you think everyone will like me more? Will guys start to notice me? I also want to get a job and buy lots of new clothes. What else will make me fit in more? My bestfriend and basically my only friend is a guy. He's way popular and all of his friends are soooo cute. But when I'm with him and he's with them, it's like I'm totally invisible. I know people will say I'm fake and stuff but lately it seems like that's the only thing to get a guys attention. I'm not desperate for a guys attention. Outside of school I get hit on a LOT! I just want a certain boy to notice me

Answer
I remember my bff and I embarking on exactly the same thing when we were 14 yrs. old. We called it "Get Better". lol We planned on shocking the entire school by our fabulousness and beauty.

We designed intricate menus that were incredibly restrictive and somewhat like what an Olympic athlete would do. We started training for a marathon that didn't even exist (running every morning about 2 miles at least), left our hair in olive oil and mayonnaise packs every other day and gave ourselves beauty treatments all summer. We didn't use hot appliances on our hair and got really tan. We whitened out teeth and both tried out for cheerleading.. in hopes that we would rule the school (lol).

The good news is that we did succeed. It was easier with two than just one, though. It's hard to stay focused and not give into temptation when you're trying this on your own. It really helps to have a "get-better buddy".

Join a gym, btw. Tell them you only need the membership for three months and it shouldn't be more than $25 - $30 each month. THAT will fix your life as far as getting cute/toned/fit/beautiful. They have yoga, Pilates, spinning, cardio, weight training..you name it. Some have tanning salons, too. If they have karate or martial arts.. TAKE THE CLASS (trust me). Boxing is cool, too. Guys love that. A really cute girl that knows Karate or is boxing in cute little retro Dophin shorts and a beater tank is hot to guys! You'll be intriguing to them all.

Using a spray tanning salon will help with protecting your skin from damage when you are tanning in the real sun.

In three months time you can definitely have a ballerina-bum, along with cut and chiseled calves and thighs. You can create a sexy little 6-pack, too. Working out every day and drinking at least 2 liters of water every day = totally clear, flawless skin.

If you want to start a part-time job at the local gym.. all the better! You'll have a membership for free and it will enable you to buy cute clothes and pedicures, tanning sessions and teeth bleach.


I really hate to say that that's the way life works but the truth is, there are certain situations where it's all about superficial and external stuff. As you've noted, you get attention from guys when you're not in school, but they ignore you at school. That's because they're used to what you look like and besides, kids in middle and high school are really superficial anyway. No way around that. It's best to always go for a natural, more accidental beauty vs. all tarted-up. More make-up, false lashes, heels and acrylic nails are a definite NO! You want to aim for perfectly toned body, clear perfect skin, healthy long hair == a natural beauty.

The gym-thing will be awesome. You'll meet and greet lots of cool people who're into fitness. Guys that work out are way better than guys who live their life online eating Doritos and never move a muscle. When you start getting into the gym, your enthusiasm will be noticed by your mate and his mates, for sure. They WILL notice that you got really hot over the summer! Contrary to what others may think.. this is ultimately for YOU.. not for others. It's a win-win. You may be trying to better yourself because of a crush but if that results in building confidence, strength and fitness.. if it helps with every other area of your life then it isn't just silly superficial stuff. It takes dedication and inner strength to keep this regimen up.. and that's really beneficial in the long and the short run.

Start taking vitamins and disallow yourself all junk. No chocolate..no bad stuff. Put motivational pix up everywhere (all over your mirrors, your laptop screen, the fridge..) of people who have the look you want to have. Focus on the goal and you'll get there!







good luck!

What are the essential makeup supplies a girl should have?

beautiful and easy nail art image

harley gir

i don't use any makeup at all and i am thinking of getting some stuff to start with. what should I get? I also don't have a lot of nail polish. what colors should I get?

Answer
All you need are a good set of tools and some basics and practice. For tools, I suggest you get the Borghese set of brushes from Costco. They are around $20-$25 and have a great range of brushes small to large. The kit even comes with explanations on what each brush is for. It was also recommended in Makeup Artist magazine as a great beginner kit.

A beautiful makeup starts with a good face. A simple routine is:

1. Wash your face with anti-bacterial soap. It is so simple, and it's something my aesthetician friends and cosmetologists taught me.

2. Wash with Ponds Deep Cleanser and Make-up Remover. Very moisturizing and clean.

3. Use a nice toner like Clean and Clear Cooling Daily Pore Toner. Light scent, VERY mild.

4. Moisturizer: Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer. Very light and clean, but also has a 45 SPF. 45 SPF never felt so comfortable before this.

All you really need to look good is some concealer for putting in key areas, not foundation all over the face. I like to use MAC concealers, they have a great texture and blend well. Go in and test them. Just remember not to squeeze out too much because a little bit goes a long way.

If you do want a foundation, a great store brand is Cover Girl's Advanced Radiance. It's a slim pump bottle. The display has something that makes it really simple to find the right shade. Take their little card and hold it to your skin; whichever color disappears against your skin is the shade for you. I found it ingenious because I'm a professional makeup artist and use all sorts of brands from MAC to less known industry standard makeup. Here, you don't have to have any skill and you can still find the perfect makeup shade without having to go to an expensive counter and hope the sales artist gets it right. And honestly, I've hired some of those girls, and their experience ranges from amateur to expert. I don't like to hope for good luck myself. The product is smooth and blends really perfect. It's light and I had no creasing. To get it perfect, grab a mirror and hold the card to your face. Yeah, I said to your skin, so wash your face after, but you'll get the color match exact!

For eyes, if you like a defined brow, use a brow brush (small and cut at an angle, and softly fill. You can always add more product. To do eyeshadow, start with a palette that has many colors so you can practice. Some simple ideas are earthtones or doing one shadow on the lid and then a highlight at the corner of the brow beneath the end of the eyebrow. There are more detailed ideas, but start easy. Experiment in your free time and take pictures so you can see or repeat what you did. A lot of people will also coordinate and take a color or several colors from their outfits. In the beginning, just start with 1 color.

For lashes, Cover Girl Volume Exact is clean and easy. Just do a tight, quick, swirl with the brush to keep the application clean and clump free.

Basically, it's like anything you want to learn to do well: talk to people who do it, like friends, here online, at makeup counters. Practice. Buy good tools and supplies. Everything good doesn't HAVE to be from the counter, but wonderful things ARE at the counter too.

There are wonderful and easy things to do with blushes, creams, lip glosses, liners, lipsticks, but these are also the best places to just start experimenting.

I've put the Makeup 411 site below, it has great breakdowns (explanations and supply lists) of what artists have used on their actors.

Also, I added links that are great starter resources. Makeup Alley is great because it's got lots of reviews on ALL SORTS of products. So far, I've been able to find reviews on EVERY product I typed in, and that's saying a lot for me.

Oh yeah, and whatever you do, when you go to counters, don't believe the hype, don't get intimidated. Makeup is an art and I've met all sorts of people. Everyone can do it. I know I sound like the chef character in Ratatouille, but I'm serious. I have met a lot of people of all types who never did it before, and once I started teaching them, they picked it up and ran with it. Mistakes and success, a sense of beauty, esteem, or creativity, it's all about learning and building and having fun. Experiment with anything you want, from subtle and barely there to cutting edge and pro.

Good luck and have fun,
Margaret

sweetstraw

I watch a lot, I mean A LOT. Of beauty gurus already, but I just wanted to know more out there or what you think is the best?

Meganheartsmakeup- she's a young guru but also seems really sweet. She has a long way to go but she is also just starting out. She also works in partnership with seventeen magazine.

Krazyrayray- She is a 14 year old girl and she looks really sweet. She uses mostly drugstore products but does have some high end. She obviously loves what she does and is doing GREAT for being so young.

For hair videos i follow-----

Cutegirlhairstyles- I LOVE THEM! its a mother who does her four daughters' hair in beautiful braids and twists! it's a whole family effort as the dad films, kids are the test dummies (if you will), and the mom is the braider. They are a lovely family and have adopted two kids.

Do i recycle or trash pencils?

beautiful and easy nail art image

A Dawg

My pencils are like the size of my pinky nail, and pretty much are just the metal and used up eraser.

Answer
Oh, don't trash them yet ! Check out these amazing crafts you can make with these pencil stubs :

You could use them to make interesting & innovative crafts !

eg. picture frames. Glue them along the edges in 3 or more rows & add your artwork as a picture or any photograph, etc.
http://www.diydork.com/colored-pencil-picture-frame/ -- this one has pencils cut into exact lengths & glued at right angles to each edge. A simpler & relatively less formal way would be to glue the pencils [varying lengths] parallel to the edges.
Or like this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWNi_gwggXc
Yet another way to make a frame : http://www.123rf.com/photo_10503702_frame-made-of-pencils-with-multi-color-border-featuring-mini-pencils-showing-the-concept-of-educatio.html

http://pinterest.com/pin/108016091032806485/ -- simple but lovely jewelry by cutting the pencils & stringing them.
I love the Beads that have been cut from these pencils ! You can use these to create a kind of collage artwork/composition.

http://www.worldsstrangest.com/neatorama/pencil-shoes/ -- Amazing ! Shoes/footwear made from color pencils.

http://www.countryliving.com/cm/countryliving/images/straw-vase-de-57819865.jpg -- easy to make vase. Instead of vase, you can use the container to keep your pens, pencils, brushes, etc. too.
You can also make Coasters & Table Mats or Runner in a similar fashion.

You can create beautiful artwork with color pencil shavings too - check these out : http://www.google.co.in/search?q=pencil+shavings+art&hl=en&client=opera&hs=Kfd&rls=en&channel=suggest&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=jqeAT9OyEYrSrQf8t7zvBQ&ved=0CCkQsAQ&biw=800&bih=489 You can use these to make wall hangings/pictures or greeting cards, bookmarks, etc. to gift to friends & family. You can also use the colorful shavings to adorn various items in/around your house. You can decorate gift boxes with the same.

You can actually make stuff with the pencils - it is after all wood. eg. you can make a cardboard frame/box [or use any cartons] & line up the pencils all over & glue. Add a hinge & decorate the interior [line it with velvet or fabric] & you have a beautiful box in which one can store trinkets, etc.

If you need to send out invitations, etc., you can use the longer pencils at 2 opposite ends of a paper or fabric to create a scroll that can be rolled in & out !

Some more images of pencil crafts : http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pencil+crafts&qs=n&form=QBLH&filt=all&pq=pencil+crafts&sc=0-8&sp=-1&sk=#x153y960

Invent any new game. eg. throwing a fistful on some board & then trying to toss them out of some line with some implement. Create rules with friends & play :)

Enjoy :-)

what is the best way to ask out a girl you have never spoken to?

Q. There' s this girl i've seen around school who i would like to ask on a date. The problem is that she doesn't know me and I don't know her. Any tips such as good conversation starters, etc. I'm open to anything.

Answer
Sheâs got you lovestoned and I think that she knows. Letâs just say as long as youâre slick with words, you can have any woman that you lust for. Look, itâs all about the confidence. Life is a game. Itâs called a confidence game. But what you have with you everytime you glance at her is fear. Now the question is: how do you nail the girl you desire? By installing the fear within her. With all the vital signs you have given me, it is clear to say that this girl is playing hard to get. And this is actually a good thing, because no matter what, girls like the attention even though you may think she is not interested in you. The best thing to do is always be yourself. Ask to see if she wants to go out to lunch or grab a quick bite to eat. Take her out to a movie or help her out with whatever she is currently doing (schooling, work, etc). Give her advice and make her feel special by being there by her side no matter what. For starters, if you wish to be sweet and calm as possible, tell her there is something on her cheek and that you want to get rid of it. She will obviously would like to know what it is, and you pretend to get the imagined dust particle off her face. Her question would be "What is it?" Your reply is: "Beauty" Works like a charm. Also, imagine that you are in need of the time; you approach her and ask for the time. She gives it to you and you say: "Wow, really? That late? Well, one thing's for sure, if beauty were time you'd be eternity." Well, if you wish to be more comfortable with this person that you yearn for, I would suggest for you to perhaps obtain her MSN address at best. The Art of Seduction is a difficult practise to master, but I shall give you a few pointers. Alright, so as you mention you don't know this person oh so well, hence her first reaction when you try to add you to her MSN list, would be "Who is this?" This is where you would have to play hard to get and say as followed: It's never easy meeting a complete stranger, especially one as beautiful as you, without being properly introduced. But shall we try anyway? This is (your name). You have probably seen me ....." Following so far? Then, depending on her reaction, you would need to say: "You have probably heard of (name insert or fellow colleague or anyone of that matter). He bet that I wouldn't be able to start a conversation with the most beautiful girl on MSN. How I am doing so far?" If you do manage to go on a first date with her, I suggest you get her flowers and pull this one on her enclosed as a message within an envelope signed by you: âYou should go and stand in front of a mirror and hold up 11 roses, so you would see 12 of the most beautiful things in the world.â It will make her go awwwww. Also, if you wish to show how much you care about her, I suggest you use the following tagline: âIf I had a rose for every time I thought of you I'd be walking in a garden forever.â Also, try getting her lingerie as a gift. If you are not ready for that quite yet, just tell her that you simply like her. Believe me; girls go like âAwww, how cute,â when they receive lingerie as a gift. These of course should be used when you get to know her better. Writing a poem however is definitely a good way to kick it off, believe me. If you get all Shakespearean on her, the better. If you need more advice, feel free to contact me.
