Grab your MP3 player and get ready to get a li’l more plugged in. The New York Times is reporting that doctors are delving into the notion that music can help soothe pain. 

 

In a study published in December, scientists found that when people focused on music while being subjected to painful shocks, they experienced relief. Those who came into the experiment the most anxious received the biggest benefit from the melodies they listened to.

 

What does that mean for you? The next time you’re freaking about a check-up or laid up in bed with a sprained ankle, try listening to music to relax your body. Pick slow, calming songs that soothe your soul. Why? The music can take your mind off your worries and pain, helping you calm down, in the case of a doctor’s appointment, or feel less pain, in the case of an injury. Hey, it’s worth a try, right?

 

Do you listen to music when you’re not feeling 100 percent?

I am going to the Dominican Rebulic in 11 days and I realized I am supposed to get my period the day that we leave! I'll be with my parents and my best friend and her family. I am not going to mention it to anyone because I'd never hear the end of it if I did. How am I supposed to deal with my period there? I have tampons and pads and I usually have a light/regular tampon and a pantyliner combined. But in the Dominican we will be in the water a lot. Thanks!!

 



Hey girl,

If you usually combine the tampons and pantyliners, maybe you should try a more absorbent tampon for the water because you can't really wear a pantyliner in your bathing suit without it being noticeable. Make sure you change your tampon as often as you feel is necessary to avoid leakage.

Hey I'm new to girlslife.com and don't really
Know how to mod, but I think it's in comments, so sorry if I'm not doing it the right way.
Modmodmod!!!! Well my mom won't let me shave my legs even though I REALLY need to.
I know I'm only 12 and she might be saying no cause of that,
But I really need to shave my legs. What should I do to convince her to let me?




Hey babe,

Try approaching it like this! Don't tell her "but all the other girls are shaving!" Instead, say something like, "Hey Mom? I know you said no before, but I really want to start shaving so I wanted to ask again. You might be worried because I'm only 12, but I really feel mature enough to commit to this. I'll shave often, do it right with shave gel so I don't cut myself, etc. I just feel insecure about having so much hair and know I'll feel more confident if I can take care of it. Please?" Be mature and calm about it! She started shaving once too, so she's not gonna be totally confused as to why you'd wanna start. Keep bringing it up and being honest about why you wanna start <3 She'll see your side if you stay persistent!
