Okay so I was really really hesitant to try them when I recently heard about them in Cosmo, but I'm really glad that I did.
I HATE tampons and pads. Tampons make my cramps worse and pads are just gross. Not to mention I have to buy three different types of things to last me for my week every month.
Well anyway, I found Softcup and for 5.69 I got 14 disposable cups. Now they have reusable ones for your entire cycle...
I just want you girls to know how awesome they are. They really are life changing and give such a freedom! I highly, highly recommend. Not to mention how much you cut down on waste and the plethora of health benefits!

Mary Poppins Dress, materials? need help asap!
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
You could always try http://www.mood.com
I would focus on a sheer white fabric, white lace and a lightweight white sort of satin. And I'd get red too for the bows and the belt. And you have to get the little buttons for the back of the dress. And you should probably also get white tulle for the skirt to be full.

Choppy haircut? Blue semi-permanent dye?

I have bleached bangs and I color them with Manic Panic. The pink washes out too quick (after one wash I have to color it again). But the blue lasts foreverrr.

My phobia stops me from doing things I want to do.. =[
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
I used to do all of my piercings myself. Yeah it was stupid but I was also 16 and there was no way my mother was going to take me to get it done professionally. I did all of my oral piercings (monroe, snakebites, smiley), I pierced my own ears and I pierced my own nose. However, my body doesn't accept cartilage piercings well so I have had to go back to a shop and have them correctly pierce my nose with the right jewelry and give me advice.
I've never run into any problems with my lips.. They are the best piercings I've ever had. I hardly have to clean them and I can take them out for over a week and they will still be fine. However! My monroe started to erode my gumline after 4 years. Nobody told me that those don't last very long... It made me sad :/
My boyfriend however, is a total baby. He cried when I pierced his ears (which is funny that hurt him but he gauged his ears up to 1"1/4 on his own). He freaked HIMSELF out when he went had his nose pierced. He's skittish around needles too, but the pierces are professionals and they know what they are doing and how to calm people down. After he took a few breaths, had some cold breeze on his face and a cold cola he was totally fine!

If it's just the thought of something going through your skin are you not weird about your earrings? I've had my lip pierced a couple of times and I did them myself. I found it a lot easier for me to calm myself down and actually go through with it.
The hollow needles piercers use tend to freak me out a little. I have my bottom naval done and I've had my hip pierced and those made me feel weird. I don't like to turn my jewelry and I can't even replace the jewelry myself, I have to get someone else to. But I am only that way with my bottom naval and hip.
I think you should just try to wear the fake lip rings. Tease yourself and sort of push the end into your skin a little. If you can handle that no problem then I think you should go through with it.

I can't watch movies where animals get hurt
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
haha no! I loved my grandparents, they took care of me until they both passed away. But they let themselves get brainwashed by their preacher. I mean, they let me wear jeans and play with boys and watch certain disney movies. But I totally get where you are coming from!
My mom is religous but she gets into her fits too.

I can't watch movies where animals get hurt
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
haha I know it's ridiculous but that's how I am :/
I grew up under my Nanny and Poppy's house and they were pretty strict and religious so I wasn't allowed to watch anything remotely considered scary or ungodly so I missed out on a lot of movies... I couldn't read Harry Potter or the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe until my Nanny passed and I was shipped off to live with my mom. But my boyfriend has made it a point to get me into everything that I missed out on. So I actually have Labyrinth! He found it at Goodwill, asked if I had seen it, scoffed when I told him no and shoved it toward checkout.
I cannot watch the cruelty to animals awareness commercials, every time I catch a glimpse it's instant water works.

Am I overreacting?
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
I think I should explained a little more. I don't want to stay with him just because it'll be three years. I love him and I know he loves me. He's just dumb. But if he knows I'm serious about something, he does try to fix it. He isn't abusive in any way, just inconsiderate sometimes but I can't say much because I know I'm that way too sometimes. I appreciate the concern though.

I can't watch movies where animals get hurt
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
Since I was pretty much in Pampers I have been attached to animals and I hate, I mean HATE to see an animal hurt. Beauty and the Beast for example. Think back to when the Beast is fighting off the wolves, well when they start making that yelping noise, I tear up!
So it's pretty much always been like that... And a week ago my boyfriend and I were watching the Dark Crystal (I'd never seen it before but it was one of his favorites as a kid). Alright, we are watching this movie and Kierra (or whatever) calls over these um... Landstrollers? And they agree to take her and whatever his name is to the castle to destroy the crystal. Well they're almost at the castle and they are attacked. This bitch Kierra jumps off one and leaves the landstrollers to fend for themselves and they get killed :( Well that pissed me off. My boyfriend thinks its kind of funny and tells me no other creatures die. So I agree to watch the rest.
Towards the end, this cute little almost dog thing that Kierra has tries to help her and that guy from this Skexy thing. And this Skexy tosses Fizzgigg (the cute dog thing) into a fiery pit of doom and that little bitch and her bitch friend do nothing about it. Poor Fizzgigg :'( So I start complaining hardcore like I usually do. "What a bitch! I swear, if someone tried to throw my dog into a pit of fire you best believe I'd smash their face into a bloody pulp! She better do something! Go in there after Fizzgigg! Fizzgigg risks his life for her and she's not going to even shed a tear!" and my boyfriend is laying next to me chuckling up a storm. "It's so cute that you love animals that much but it's just a movie!" I know, but I can't help it. Even if it's a cartoon I get so sad!!
Thankfully at the end of the movie though Fizzgigg is alive, he's like clinging onto this pole thing for dear life and is saved by Agra? I was like "YESSSS! FIZZGIGG IS ALIVE!"
I'm probably pissing off the Dark Crystal fans but that's how I am! I can't be the only person out there that's like that though, right?

Am I overreacting?
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
He wouldn't ever hit me, I know that. Other than the whole thing that happened a few days ago, he really is a good boyfriend. That's why it took me by surprise. He's always taken me where I needed to go, he's actually the one who taught me how to drive and he has always been so supportive. It was just really strange for him to do that when he's never done it before. But he's making it all up to me now and he's doing a pretty good job. I appreciate the concern though!

Am I overreacting?
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
I don't want to break up with him because on Christmas Eve it'll be our 3 year anniversary. I've broken up with him before because he'd take off and leave me all night and he was just being a total jerk. And I dated a guy that I worked with. Well the guy and I didn't see eye to eye on a lot so I left him for my current boyfriend. He hasn't done anything that he used to so this behavior is totally new. He used to let me drive all the time! So last night I did yell at him and I did talk to him and we discussed a lot. We realized that he's acting like this because he doesn't want me to leave him for another guy (like he thought I had done previously). He felt like if I got the job that the guys I would be working with would want to ruin our relationship but I told him that the only person capable of ruining our relationship is him. Nobody else.
So hopefully this doesn't happen again. I already have friends saying they will take me to and from interviews and such. He didn't really like that but he got over it. Thanks for the advice guys!

Am I overreacting?
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
I literally feel like my boyfriend is out to get me. Well not necessarily out to get me, but he's been making me so stressed out lately and today my sister totally hit the nail right on the head with; "It seems like he just wants you to be dependent on him..."
Basically, I haven't had my license... ever. I'm 20 years old and I just now got over my fear of driving. I'm so afraid that someone is just going to crash into me and send me hurling into my death. I'm still afraid of that but now I don't have panic attacks behind the wheel! I like to think I'm saving other drivers by not driving... So naturally my boyfriend drives me around everywhere. Lately I've been trying to drive though and he won't let me drive his car. (I can because I have a permit, I just need someone licensed in the car too).
Every time that I go in for a job application, he wants to go in with me. That makes me look bad because he always manages to make me look bad. If I'm in an interview, the same thing. He goes in there sooner or later and does something stupid to destroy my chances.
Take for instance today, I had an interview at a restuarant that he isn't fond of me wanting to work at. He doesn't want other guys looking at me and such (I think he should just get over it, guys are going to look if they want. I can't stop them). Well during the interview he takes off in the car and I have no way of contacting him because he doesn't have a phone. So instead of standing outside after the interview for another five minutes I ran across the street to a deli and hid in there hoping (praying) they didn't see this. 15 minutes later he rushes in and yells "WHERE WERE YOU?!"... Excuse me? Where were YOU?! After the manager had just expressed to me how important it is to have reliable transportation... My "reliable" transportation takes off and leaves me.
I don't think I'm overreacting because he made me look awful! He even went into the restuarant while I was in the deli and asked where I was... They told him that they saw me jet off to the deli (punch me. please). And because this isn't the first time, I think I have the right to be mad at him. It sucks because I don't like being mad at him. I live with him so it's hard to be mad at him but still... He doesn't get it!

What to do with old bras
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
I have quite a few old bras that I've grown out of or just don't want to wear anymore. I don't want to throw them out because I know I can use them for other things. I've used one for shoulder pads in a blazer and I've used one for making my bikini top looking even more awesome on me. So I want to know if anyone has any other ideas? I'm pretty much only interested in what they do as far as clothing... I'm not really a tea cozy, go out in the garden or make a lamp thing kind of girl.

Belly Button Ring
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
I agree get a barbell. Belly button rings are so annoying. I've had mine pierced for 4 months and I still have to baby it. I've also had it reject twice before because I neglected to take care of it the way I was supposed to. And scar tissue hurts to repierce.

Why in god's name are you using soo much toilet paper!?!?!?!?!?
Started about 2 years ago · Last post about 2 years ago ·
I go through a lot too. I have really bad bladder problems, like I have to pee every hour it seems! And I have really bad allergies so I run to the bathroom to blow my nose. Anddd I use it sometimes to blend my eyeshadow...
But Nick says the same thing about me. He wanted to know how I go through so much and thats why!

Making Your Own Clothing (Clothes Tutorials)

Oh and I'm pretty sure that Raven Symone doesn't actually make her own clothing, that was just her character. And I thought it was cool too because when that show was popular I got into fitting my own clothes!

You can figure out how make a lot of things by just examining clothes that you already have. If you're feeling brave, you could always rip the clothes by the seams and make a pattern based off of the pieces.

What is wrong with today's youth!?
Started about 2 years ago · Last post about 2 years ago ·
I know a lot of teens and young adults think it's cool to act really tough and rude and disrespectful now. I used to be like that, but I've realized how stupid and utterly pointless it is. My parents didn't care if I got suspended from school for fighting or anything... But before anyone assumes anything, I was abused by them til I called the cops when I was 15. That only made me violent towards other people. Now that I live on my own, I'm a lot happier and I don't get into fights or arguements.
But yes, I think that today's youth is pretty destructive. I agree with Megan though, it's not every teenager, it's just the ones that are being influenced by the other baddies, if you catch my drift.

Stupid freaking project...
Started about 2 years ago · Last post about 2 years ago ·
I sew everything by hand too! My mom bought me a sewing machine for my 17th birthday but I broke it when my sister ran into my room scaring the crap out of me. So basically I jammed the whole thing. It's gonna cost 80 bucks to fix it! And I live on my own so 80 is quite a bit right now. My best friend's mom just gave me hers but I can't figure the thing out for the life of me!
I so understand what you're talking about. I also don't follow patterns. I've found it to be a lot easier if I just pin EVERYTHING together first. Sometimes it hurts of course when I'm trying something on, but saves me a lot of time.

Looking For Something New: Who's Your Favorite Author?

Ah, then yeah. Chucky P may not suit you. You could try David Sedaris then! He writes about his life and it's pretty funny to read. I'm not to big on autobiographical things, but he's too good to pass up!

Looking For Something New: Who's Your Favorite Author?
Started about 2 years ago · Last post about 2 years ago ·
He wrote Fight Club and Choke, (they've been made into movies now). I have to say that I just love how raw and unapologetic his writing his. He's sort of an asshole in his writing, but for some reason I find it more intriguing. He puts his characters in absolutely crazy situations, situations that are believable but totally random and you can't help but follow their stories because you have to know what happens next and how they react and deal with the situations. I could go on and on about how much I love his books! Haunted is probably the most crazy. I've NEVER read anything like it and I don't think I ever will again.
