hey so I need to get a new mascara, and there is just so many in the drugstore so I really need your help mod! My eyelashes are pretty average so do you know a good drugstore mascara that gives me volume and length?? thanks!!!!




Hey girl! All mascaras are awesome and always make the lashes look longer a more full. There is not one that stands out over all of the others but CoverGirl always does a good job no matter which one you choose.

hi this is urgent. I shaved a end of my eyebrow off what do I do?!? How long do u think it will take to grow back it's not a lot but it's noticeable. I'm freaking out!




Hey girlie,

Unfortunately, you can't really DO anything - you can't paste it back on or make it magically grow back fast. You just have to be patient while it grows back...and be VERY careful in the future! (You should never use razors on your face at all.) While you're waiting for your eyebrows to grow back in, use an eyebrow pencil or powder eyeshadow to define the area and continue your eyebrow's natural shape, aka what your eyebrow would have looked like if it was still there. Don't overdo it - just give it enough color for the illusion to be believable Smile

My school is doing a project where we have to shadow a professional who works in a career that we're interested in. I HAVE NO IDEA WHO OR WHAT TO SHADOW!! I am interested in writing, acting and singing, but that's hard because obviously I'm not going to fly to L.A. to shadow an actor, and singers don't exactly stand around and sing all day. I emailed Sarah Dessen and Jodi Picoult, but Sarah sent me an automatic response saying that she doesn't take emails from fans anymore and while Jodi took the time to send me a legit response, she said that it's really boring because she mostly sits at a desk all day so she had to say no. I might be interested in law, but not really. There is a famous music producer and singer, Tyler Ward, who lives in my city, so I may be able to contact him. ANY IDEAS??
Thanks! <3

 

Hey girl,

 

You don't have to shadow someone super famous -- if you're interested in writing, why not shadow someone from a local paper? You can also find local singers at restaurants and bars, so use your town's newspapers to find out some local artists and try to reach out to them -- you'll be more likely to get a response that way.

so i just finished my christmas shopping for my friends and i have a big dilemma. I got super cute cards that have let it snow and a cute girl on the cover, but the inside is blank. whats a cute message i can write inside other than the classic merry christmas and a happy new year? i want it to mean something and be creative... thanks! Smile

 

Hey girl,

 

Why not go with an inside joke that your friend will get, or a reminder of something funny that happened to both of you? It will remind her what a great friendship you have!

Well whenever i get my period, it lasts a full week and it makes me feel like im gonna throw up or pass out or something. Well i end up having to sit out of P.E. Cuz i feel sooo sick And all the guys give me those "maybe shes on her period" looks since it happens the same time every month. Well how can i deal with the throw up/pass out feelings without havin to sit out of P.E?? Pleaseeee help!!




I get the same feelings. I suggest you  take advil every morning you have your period. If you prevent the pains you wont feel so awful. Good luck! xoxo kerra

I havent been doing good on Algebra tests and my dad gets really upset with the quiz grades I have been getting. I just got another bad grade and I am really scared to tell him. He says it is unacceptable and that he doesnt want to see grades like that. I have to get it signed and I have to tell him but I am sooo scared what do I do????




Hey girl,

Deal with this in a mature way! Instead of being embarrassed and scared, walk up to him and tell him this grade was the tipping point. It has motivated you to be more active about your schoolwork - you're going to make an appointment with your teacher to discuss the things you don't understand, you're going to put together a study group so you can benefit from your classmates, and you're going to cut back on computer/TV time so you can study more effectively. Beat him to the punch - by telling him all of these ways you're going to be responsible, he will have a lot less to yell at you about.
