Is there any workout that will make your face tighter? Specifically the cheek area, because my face is sorta saggy in a way, and it makes me feel self conscious .
Thanks! c:

Hey girl,

Some programs promise "facial exercises" that work your muscles in your face, but the only thing that will actually work is focusing on eating right and working out your whole body. Your face might just naturally be round, but cardio/good meal choices are always great if you feel like you need to lose a couple pounds - and you'll see some slimming in your face too. But really, your face is gorgeous the way it is!!!!! <3

what if you dont have a step thing? are there any other workouts you could do? also, as a suggestion, you should put those little video clips on how to do something coz the instructions start getting confusing=/

Hey girl,

Video clips are a great idea, thanks for the tip! If you don't have a step machine, you probably have stairs in your house or somewhere nearby, so running up and down them is a great and free way to exercise!

ok i need help with a workout because i'm skinny and all but i need something to cut down my belly fat and give me more muscle(because i can't even do a push-up)! and i'm 14! and what could i eat for a healthy lunch if i'm super picky and allergic to peanuts&cheese.

Hey girl! Start out with some simple, small changes. It sounds like you want to build some muscle (which takes patience and time!), but it's certainly not impossible. Every morning when you wake up (or whenever you have a few spare minutes), practice doing one full pushup. Focus on your form--one excellent pushup is better than 50 incorrect pushups. If you are unsure of how to properly do a push up, you can find a tutorial on YouTube. Once you have the form down and can do one successfully, start doing two each morning. Each week, add a few more. Before you know it, you'll be able to do 20 awesome push ups!

The best way to build muscle is to lift weights. Buy some weights that are heavy, but still possible for you to lift with good form. You can buy inexpensive weights from a sporting goods store or even Target. Just be sure to check with your doctor and parents first to avoid injury.

Your daily diet is key in cutting down belly fat. Aim for lots of fruits and veggies, lean sources of protein (like chicken and turkey), fish (like salmon), whole grains, and good fats (like avocados, olive oil). Nuts and seeds are also a great source of fat--are you able to eat almonds? Here are some great lunch options:

-Two pieces of whole grain bread with almond or sunflower seed butter and natural jam

-Greek yogurt with fresh fruit

-Turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and spinach on two pieces of whole grain bread

-Salad loaded with veggies and chicken (with light dressing)

Remember, start out small and work your way up!

okay so track season is starting soon and i want to eat healthier but I'm very picky i only like certain things and my little sis is allergic to eggs and peanuts. so what could i do?
i already exercise some. i ain't no exercise freak i exercise though. its my diet that i want to 'edit'.

Hey babe,

You don't need to be an exercise freak to feel healthy! The fact that you're getting moving already is a great thing. You need to start by cutting out junk food and fast food. Anything that is too sweet or over-processed - kick it out! Replace it with fruits and veggies, nuts, granola, yogurt, salads, toast, etc. Even picky eaters can find healthy things to eat! You just gotta experiment to find the stuff you like Cutting down on portions can help too! You don't have to eat until you're stuffed - just eat slowly til you're filled.

Say your name 10 times.
1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

Ballerina55 I understand exactly cuz my friend and I both have uggs, and hers are way better since they are nearer. Also I know how expensive they are and that you would really want them back. What I would do is switch them back one day at her house when she isn't looking! Hehe
If that doesn't work and she insists that she is telling the truth, write her initials on the label of them (with a washable marker in case your wrong). Then she will have to switch or else get caught in the lie.
Good luck!

So, tommorow is our schools ''FASHION DAY'' every other day we wear uniform. So, I told my friend I was wearing leopard print. And my enemy must had heard 'cos I've just got a text saying that shes wearing the same tommorow! Eeeek! I cant chnage my outfit now and nor will she so How Do I look nicer than her in the same thing?

Hey girlie,

Don't be intimidated by your enemy. Rock that leopard print! Be confident and make sure you style your look really well - a sleek ponytail, minimal accessories, and black/neutral pieces to make the animal print the center of attention. The most important thing is confidence though - you NEED to walk through school like you own it. And she won't even have a chance

How do you lose fat in your upper arms? And fat in you thighs? Also I have a big butt and how can I lose weight in it? Bs how can I lose weight in general? Thanks

Hey girlie,

The important thing isn't losing weight/fat - it's getting in shape and getting healthy! Start with food. Cut out junk food, fried food, fast food, and any other bad choices you've been making lately. Replace those with healthy choices, like lots of fruits and veggies! Eat three balanced meals each day and try to cut down on snacking. It'll really help your body look and feel healthier. Next, the best way to see/feel results is to pair that with cardio exercises. Getting moving 30-60 minutes each day by jogging, biking, playing basketball with your friends, kickboxing, swimming, etc. will really help! It teaches you endurance, keeps your bones and heart healthy, and also burns fat. Mixing cardio with strength training or lean toning exercises (for example, for arms, we looove this exercise) will do the trick!

Hi my friend and I were both wearing uggs on the same day. i think we might have switched shoes by accident cuz my uggs feel different and the fur is older (i bought mine recently while she bought her's last year) I told her this and she said we'll switch them back the next day at school. Around 20 mins later she said that she thinks we didnt switch cuz her initials are on the label. I dont think she's telling the truth. If I ask her to show me her uggs to see if the initials are on the back she prbly wrote them on there right when she came up with the idea. What should I do?

Hey girlie,

Try to remember ANY other detail about yours that you can. Have yours been through a rainstorm so they're a little stained? Any markings, rips, tears, worn spots, scratches, cracks that you remember? SOMETHING to prove which is yours? If not, unfortunately there may not be a way to tell. You can't just say "Give me those - they're mine" because you have no proof So really try to rack your memory and think of something! If not, embrace your "new" Uggs and treat them like your own <3

Our warm up in dance is 20 crunches of 6 different cruches, so that is 120 cruches. I have a really hard time of getting to that. I practice that at home 3 times a week, and I still strugle. Is there any way I can do something to help me get to do those 120 cruches?

Hey girl,

Any dress would be super cute, and if you're not sure how formal to go, why not talk to the person who's graduating about what the dress code's like? Our style section has dress suggestions for every body shape, so be sure to give it a look, you'll find tons of great articles there! http://www.girlslife.com/category/style-911.aspx

MOD MOD MOD! Lately my stomach has been hurting really badly after almost every meal and car rides. My friend said that happens right before her period but I don't think that's the case for me. I don't know what's up. Please tell me! Thank you! <3

Hey! the only way to really feel reassured is to talk to your doctor about all of these questions To be honest, that's what we mods just have to tell you guys when you come to us with any health concerns. You may very well be fine, but since we're not doctors and we can't even see you face to face, it's not for us to tell you what's fine and what isn't. You know your body. Trust your instincts and talk to your doc!
