Hey elizabethmariexo!

1) if heat tools aren't working, dont waste your time. Try going for beachy waves, by spraying hair with a sea salt spray and scrunching locks. Let them air dry or blow dry with a diffuser attachment. For dry hair, run a blob of mouse ( I like Treseme tousle me softly mouse) through hair. Srinch twist, and play around with your hair until u like the way it looks. As for your haircut, try finding pics (from a magazine, online) of styles u like. Then get real and eliminate pics of styles that won't work on your hair thickness and texture, r too much work to manage, and/or don't work on your faceshape. Narrow it down to 2-3 pics to take with u to the salon. Ask your stylist what haircut he/she thinks will work best.

2) if your deodorant isn't working for gym, try to get a prescription deodorant. U use them at night and can use regular deodorant during the day. Keep a deodorant in your gym locker/gym bag and reapply after class. Try using a wide headband for gym class. It will keep you hair out of the way and u won't have to restyle after class. If u must have the hair off your neck, make a loose, low ponytail after putting the headband in. After class just take the hairtie out and brush through your hair.

Hope this helps!!

Hey elizabethmariexo!

Yeah your right this club has been kinda down lately. Ive been super busy but I'm hoping 2 get this club going again! As for your questions:

1) Try putting the earings back in and not touching them for a week. They should get better on their own. Most likely they just got a little irritated. If they are not better in a week, go see a doctor. The peircing may be infected, and u may need to let the holes close
2) I am SO SORRY I didn't respond to this in time for your dad's birthday. I hope u were able to figure something out!

Hey girlies! Its mac1255, your guy mod, with the tip of the day!

Chin up, chica! When your around your crush, sit up straight, smile, (not a constant clown-like smile, just casually smile when hes talking to you), & dont, dont, DONT throw a pity party for yourself all the time (or in most cases, ever). If you let him know you're an upbeat, positive, confident, person that he can make smile just by talking to you... you're golden!

mac1255 on 3/12/2011 6:19:05 PM

Hey girlies! Here's some makeup tips!

HUGE LASHES! First, curl your lashes if yours are straight. Take a black or dark brown mascara with a thick brush and evenly coat your eyelashes once. The second time, brush the top of your lashes, the other side of your eyelashes. If you have clumps, take a tissue paper/toilet paper to take out. If you have them super long, be careful to not get the mascara on your eyelids when you look up!

EYESHADOW FOR SCHOOL: Take a light tan color or even white and put on the very inner corner of your eyes. This will let in more light to your eye. With a dark, but soft pink, brush on your lids and a little above your crease. Take a soft brown and brush the outside V of your crease. This means the outside of your eyelid slightly going into your crease line, about half way.


NATURAL LOOKING FACE MAKEUP: Conceal any imperfections like blemishes, dark circles, and redness with a concealer. Take a powder foundation and brush evenly on your face. Don't use too much of this foundation. Also, before you put foundation on your face be sure to tap the brush on the side to remove excess foundation. Take a clean tissue paper and if you have used too much foundation wipe some off in a circular motion. This will keep your face from looking fake. Then, take a dark pink blush and brush along the the apples of your cheeks to your temples. Then, for an overall glow, brush a little big on your nose, chin, and forehead. ONLY A LITTLE BIT THOUGH. If you do all of this, your skin will look naturally perfect!

XOXO

Hey pssst
It says "2) why do u want toe an advertiser?" I think you mean Why do you want to be an advertiser (:

elizabethmariexo on 2/28/2011 4:52:41 PM

Signs your friendship is withering- and some ideas about how to fix it!

1)You never hangout!

Call her up saying, "Hey! What are you doing this weekend?" If she says shes not doing anything say on saturday suggest you two Go see the new JB flick (or something!). Sure going to see a movie isnt that creative but im sure that after this hangout your friend will have a solution for next time!

2)She told your secret... and now its across the whole school!

Don't sweat it girly. Keep your head high and if anybody walks up to you in the halls and says, "OMG! You like Charles?" or whatever dont make a big fuss about it,dont deny it just say- "Yep, did you see the basketball game last night?" When everybody realizes that you just dont care, theyll move on and your secret will be last weeks news.

sockmonkey49 on 2/25/2011 6:35:19 PM

Hey, I'm not a member, but I'm gonna post a wacky tip that I use anyways . . .
hope it's okay.

Alright, for clear skin, I exfoliate using sugar. Yeah, sugar, the natural compound is crazy good for your skin, and as long as you don't eat it, it will totally help acne and blackheads!
Plus, it doesn't sting if you get it in your eyes or mouth, and it will dissolve into your skin, so you don't have to worry about little bits irritating your skin and creating imperfections. [I had a problem with that for my old scrub]

Okay, yeah, sorry not a member, just wanted to share a tip . . .

Hey girlies! It's Kelly your health advice giver here to tell you about STRESS!

Yup, that's right! Stress is related to health because a majority of people, when they are stressed, go straight to food to make them feel better. After a while, these extra snacks can add up to make an unhealthy you. So here are some tips on how to relieve stress and not let it make you want to eat unhealthy food.

1) Yoga! Yoga relieves the mind and body from stress especially. It calms you down so the stress level goes down too!

2) Take a bubble bath! Taking a shower, or better yet a bubble bath can make you feel as relaxed as if you were in the spa. So go ahead, pamper yourself.

3) Listen to music! Stay away from scream-o and heavy metal music. Try listening to songs with either no lyrics so you can just listen to the calming instruments and melody or listen to songs where you know the words, it'll keep you focused on something that is not what your stressing about.

4) Go for a run! Running on your street can actually help you relieve stress because you don't have to think about anything at all.

Golden Rule: Basically, to get rid of stress, just do something you love! Besides eating/ watching T.V.! Doing things you enjoy can really put your mind in a happy place and your stress level will decrease and you won't want to go eat unhealthy food.

XOXO Kelly!

Hey Girlies!!!

Don't eat fruit and vegetables? Here's some sneaky ways to add them into your meals while keeping it tasty!

FRUIT: For breakfast, add some berries (blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, and bananas) to your fave cereal. It goes well with most cereals and it gives it another flavor!
For lunch, make a milkshake or smoothie. (Milkshake has icecream and milk and smoothie has yogurt). Ideas are chocolate banana milkshake. Add chocolate ice cream, bananas, and milk. Or a berry smoothie! Use any berries with your fave type of yogurt.
For dinner, eat tomatoes. They may not be the first food that pops into your mind when you think fruit but they still are fruit and very nutritional too. Tomatoes taste great on almost any meat. Or, if you don't like it on your meat you can have it on the side with mozzerella cheese and basil leaf.

VEGETABLES:
For breakfast, make an omelet! Add onions, mushrooms, peppers, basically anything tastes good in an omelet.
For lunch, pizza anyone? Peppers, mushrooms, olives, and other vegetables add a great kick of flavor to your boring cheese pizza.
For dinner, don't like peas? Don't worry, I don't like it either. So I replace peas with corn. Corn tastes great for many dinner meals especially ones with meat. So, mix it together or have it on the side it'll add nutritional value to your meal with you even noticing!

Good Luck with Everything!
XOXO Kelly!

Hey girlies!

It's your health advice giver, Kelly! And I want to give you advice on motivation to be healthy.

Being healthy always requires a little motivation whether it by from your friend, your coach, or yourself.

If you want to get something done such as go for a run every day and you just can't bring yourself to do it... make a deal with yourself. Say, I won't watch T.V. until I run! If you choose something you LOVE to do like watch T.V., it will be impossible for you not to run.

If you want to eat more healthy... tell your BFF that you want to start eating more healthy. If she's into it, then you two can motivate each other by taking out unhealthy foods you both like. Hey if your not the only one suffering it can make it a little easier!

SET GOALS! Whether it be a long term goal or a short term goal, goals are always great to have because once you reach that feeling of accomplishment you will realize that all the hard work was totally worth it!

Good luck girlies!
XOXO Kelly!

mac1255 on 2/11/2011 7:33:34 PM

Its totally okay, I understand! Tell me if I can be the 'friends' advice giver! Thanks!

Answer for the friends Sample Quiestion:
This is a hard sitch, so your going to have try to tell her without hurting her. My advice is that, you either alone or with one of your other friends catch her in private. (After school, Before school, etc) and talk her her. Tell her that you value her friendship but you dont really like when she pokes and makes fun at people. Try to make it sound like its not her fault but its hurting her... ex. "It makes me feel uncomfortable when you make fun of my friends," Give her some time, to get over the initial shock... if she can change thank her and go on with your friendship. And if not, then try to find her a new group of girls who are the same maturity level as her. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Hello! My name is Kelly and I want to be an Advice Giver.

1) Kelly, Age 14, Grade 9
2) I think I would best fit in the boys, friends, fashion, and health topics. I know I'm supposed to put it in order of what I like the most, but I am fine with any of those. I would be good at giving advice about boys because I have had a total of 3 boy relationships, each one was very different so I can use those experiences to help other girls. Also, I have guy friends and a brother so I know a little bit of how they think which may help. Friends is another good topic for me to give advice on because I have a BIG group of friends a total of (17 including me) and since my friends are such a big group, we have been through all sorts of drama, tears, laughing, and fun with each other. Fashion is another good topic for me to help out other girls because I love everything about fashion. I have a big variety of fashion trends in my closet and I learn more everyday by looking at magazines. Also, I am on the creative side so my creativity helps out with my clothing choices. I am also very good at finding cheap clothes that are super cute. Lastly, (sorry this is so long!) I can give really good advice on health because I am a very healthy and athletic girl. I love food and I eat food that tastes amazing but is also good for me. And, I am as sporty as I am girly. I play soccer, I run track, I ski and snowboard, and I cheerlead. I can give good advice on stretching, workouts, pushing yourself to do better and eating healthy.
3) I would be a great Advice Giver because I absolutely love giving other girls advice and helping them out with problems they may have. Also, I am older than most of the girls that go on this website. I have noticed that MOST of the girls are in Middle School, but I am in High School which really helps because I have more experience with all of these topics. The second part of this question I sort of already answered above
4) I am on GL about every other day.

I'm sorry this application is so long! But thank you for reading it. I really want to be a part of this so please consider me!

XOXO
Kelly Rose

iamkellyrose on 1/21/2011 4:28:51 PM

Advicegirlies<3 on 1/20/2011 7:51:54 AM

Well for the fashion question you gave me here it is: Help! I'm going to a party and I don't know what to wear! It's not fancy but I still need to look really good. I'm 12 and about average height. I need a cute, age appropriate outfit my parents will let me wear but that I can show off to my crush ( he is going to be there). Any ideas? Thanks!

Hey girlie! You'r one year older than me So I know what the fashion is. I would go for a pair of black skinny jeans with a V-Neck top (any color) and some cute flats or cute tennis shoes, and you should pile on some gold chain necklases and if you want add some gold bangles! You will look party girl and have all the attention on you.

Help: do you have any idea on what we should talk about? Thanks

xxtatamxx3 on 1/3/2011 7:43:24 PM

Advice Giver Application!

1) Name, age, and grade: My name is Katie I'm 11 and I'm gonna be 12 in May and I'm in 6th grade or you could call it Middle School!

2) What topic would you like to give advice on?Why? ( please put your top three in order so that if your first choice is taken I have some idea of where to place u): Well I like giving advice on Fashion, Boys and Friends!

3) why should I make you an advice giver?

I'm a fashionista, I've been through practically everything with a boy except S-E-X. And I've had SO MANY friend troubles that I realize it makes you a stronger person being through all of it and that if you don't like how someone is treating you tell them or just don't be by them!

4) How often are you on gl?: Every day. Usually. And I give all the clubs I'm in a Heads Up about it too if I wont be on or if my profile is being moderated and is not visible to wait a little and that it is not permanent!

Hey girls, I just wanted to thank everyone of u who has helped to be a major part of this club. I am so sorry that we don't have a lot of members. I am trying super hard to advertise! Please just be patient until we get more people to join.

Also, as it has always said right below the advice giver application, I would like the advice fivers to post weekly tips, quizzes, or other things on here to keep the club interesting and, to provide additional advice that lots of people can use. If u girls could try to do that I really think it will help the club.

If any of u know anyone else here on gl that u talk to on gl, or that u know in real life, could u plz ask them to join? I think it would really help. Any advertising u do can only help this club.

Thanks so much to everyone and I can't wait to see this club really take off!
