so i am feeling really bad today, i think i am getting sick.
i have a sore throat and a stomach ache.
what are some ways to feel beter?
what can i do when i am sick, so i am not bored?
thanks so much,
xoxo sail




Hey girlie,

Ugh, the first day of a cold - the worst! Frown So sorry you aren't feeling your best. First, try scoring some crackers and ginger ale. These are key for any cold where your stomach is aching. They're super light and help you snack on something throughout the day, which can help you feel more like yourself! Then, it's orange juice time. Orange juice has tons of vitamins in it, so it can help kill a cold before it starts! Next, see if you have any "cold and flu" medicines to take (Tylenol, Advil, etc.). They can help soothe your sore throat, settle your stomach, and prevent a fever. While you're sick, make sure you get LOTS of rest - nap, watch TV from the couch wrapped in blankets, read magazines, nap again, play video games, nap some more...you get the idea. Don't push yourself to do too much! Just try to rest and relax til you get back to normal Smile

i designed 3 dressed that are green,purple,and blue.They look really pretty.now...MOD MOD MOD
my friend doesen't know this but i like her crush.i really like him but i never talked to him.I feel shy and nervous around him.Whenever i see them together,it makes me so angry.
i want my crush to like me instead so i get used to him.




Hey girlie,

Ooh, this is always such a tough sitch - friend vs. crush. Which do you choose? You can't make everyone happy, but there are some friendship rules to keep. You knew about her crush before - she's been honest and open about the fact that she likes him. So it really wouldn't be right for you to ignore that and swoop in to steal him, right? You know what they say - boys come and go, but friends are forever. Try to honor that! Can you get to know him as friends without flirting or coming on too strong? That way, you're still respecting her feelings but also getting closer to him. It might make you jealous to see him with other girls, but at least you'd be talking/hanging out, so you wouldn't be missing out on his company! Maybe you could wait it out - give it some time, see if she moves on to a different crush, and then you can have permission to flirt it up Smile
