Bella

Im 14, 5'1 1/2 and 122 lbs to be exact, and ik I'm in a good weight but I wanna lose a few more pounds and if that makes ME happy then I'll do it. I really want to lose weight all over my body, but especially shed off belly fat. I don't have a lot, like I'm decently toned, but I just want the satisfaction of no fat on my stomach at all and just slimmer legs ( I have kind of big

Hips, like I'm curvy) ik I can Lose more than 5 pounds in two months but I wanna be patient and lose weight healthily so then I don't gain all the weight back. My problem is that, I always get to tired when I'm doing Pilates, like I'm a beginner and I guess I don't have good stamina, then my eating habits are bad. Like I'm very picky and if there's one little thing on my food that turns me off I won't eat anything like I'll literally go a day with no food if it's not how I like it. I need to change that habit, and I can't cook because I suck so making good healthy food is out of my capability. And three, I never feel motivated, and energized. For some people the eating part is hard or exercising but for me it's both of them. I really need to lose this weight, or even more if possible (like 5 more pounds is the most, I don't want to be in an unhealthy weight) so any tips?

I've had acne everywhere else but my face is pretty much completely clear except for my chin and mouth area. Like yeah I get the occasional pimple on my forehead or cheeks but probably once a month. However, the corners of my mouth have so many spots, my chin and even on my lip. one spot goes away and another pops up. Could it be what I'm eating? My routine? Or something inside my body? I have sensitive skin so I use Burts Bees Sensitive skin facial cleanser with cotton extract and aveeno skin relief 24 hour lotion. That's all. My skin is SO sensitive I only stick to these two products. But my mouth area seems to be the only place where I break out and the spots stay there for about 2 weeks which is annoying me. And most of them are always under my skin and when I use BP and Retin-a they come up. Ugh help?!

I have been with T-Mobile for 2 months and honestly I don't know if it's the best carrier. I'm on a family plan with my parents and we all get unlimited data but the speed is slowed down after I reach 2.5 GB. I can use all the GB's that I want but the speed will obviously be slow. I am now on my second month and my speed still hasn't been updated to 4G. It's still on 2G. I thought that after you pay your monthly bill, the speed would renew to 4G and the data would start from 0 GB again. But no. If anyone uses T-Mobile, have you experienced this?

PS: I also asked a T-Mobile worker, and she said the speed would automatically renew, but that hasnt happened.

I've on this cream for 7 months now and I'm still on the purging phase. I had to deal with side effects, peeling, redness, irritation around my nose, upper lip and cheeks. But thank god the peeling stopped about 2 months ago. I still have redness and irritation around the areas I mentioned. How can I stop it? Can I mix my Vaseline Aloe Fresh lotion with the tretinoin? My skin is combination (very oily cheeks, chin, forehead and t-zone and very dry upper lip and corners of my nose.)

Any tips?

I have been using tretinoin 0.05% since exactly November 6th of 2013 and I'm still using it. I'm having side effects such as irritation, and redness around my nose, upper lip and cheeks. I don't even apply the cream on my upper lip anyway ;-; and still get redness. My cheeks are very sensitive as well as my skin so i rarely apply the tretinoin there. I'm wondering if I should go up to 0.1% ? Like honestly i have been on the purge face for 6 months!? When am I gonna start seeing results? I used to apply it every monday, wednesday, and friday but due to the sensitivity of my skin im only doing it once or twice a week at night. Is it the dosage or something im doing wrong? HELP ;-;

I have Acne oily skin blah blah blah. I'm using a retinol cream (tretinoin) for my acne too. But I heard that some people purge the first few weeks while using the clarisonic. I want to go through the purge. Why? Because I want to get this acne over with. I know i have a lot more breakouts that are about to come and the clarisonic will save me time. If it's gonna exfoliate my skin and dead skin then I'm willing to go through the purge. However I have very very very sensitive skin and I want the delicate head brush. So any recommendations? Btw I want the mia first!

I just got a 3 yr old male chihuahua Sunday (sep. 15th) and so far he has opened up a lot with me. I always whistle him whenever I want him to follow me. He is very calm, basically he doesn't jump a lot, or isn't too energetic. He's more like a couch potato or he goes along with what I do. But the problem is my parents both work from 7:30 to 3:30, and my brother goes to work and college and i go to high school. The dog is alone about 8 hrs everyday from Monday to Friday :\ When I get off the bus the first thing I do is run to the garage to open the door and let him out. He stays there all that time. When I open the door he comes running towards me and he feels shaky, and his eyes look watery. I know he gets lonely and sad, and we haven't got any toys yet but we plan getting some tomorrow and a something comfy for him to sleep on. After I come from school (I get home at 2:40) I spend with him all that time after school since when i come home until i go to sleep. While we spent time together after school he is just not energetic, he doesn't wag his tail EVER. I don't know what to do, i always sit with him on the couch and pat him, i feed him. He probably misses the animal house where we got him from, or he is depressed?

Any advice? How can I make sure he doesnt get lonely when im at school?

I want him to be happy, jump a lot ugh :\

I just got a chihuahua, male, small size, light brown color. He is a little shy, and very calm. He loves to take leash walks and has lots of energy sometimes lol. Well anyway I have a few questions and I hope they can be answered.

-At the shelter he was currently being fed with the Science Diet line and I'm wondering if i should keep giving him the same line or start introducing a new one to him slowly?

-How to make him feel more comfortable around me? I just got him today and honestly he has opened up a lot with me, I just want him to feel like he can trust me more :)

-I have to go to school, my parents have to go to work, so does my oldest brother. So basically he will be alone. I go to school from 7:30 to 2:30. While there's no one at home my parents said we could leave him in the garage with some food/water. But I still think he could go crazy and break something or maybe something could fall on top of him (there's shelves with paint, tools) So what do you think I should do?

Any advice will be appreciated Thank you!

I just started a new school and right off the bat this girl (who is the popular girl in my class) asks me out loud "Are you shy?" And "I'm like I'm sick" and I really was sick so I said that as en excuse. She thought i was tired and not in the mood because I told her I'm sick and I really wasn't in the mood any way. She was clearly trying to embarrass me in front of the other kids in my table. I'm tired of people treating me like I'm the outcast or like crazy. This kid talks to me softly and treats me like if I was a little baby. He says "You don't talk a lot, is it because you don't know people here" and I'm umm obviously because I'm new and he looks at me like if I just said something really bad. It's annoying, pretty much I don't because i don't have anything to say. It's pathetic that I have been in this school three weeks and I'm already the target of bullying and embarrassment. Why do kids have to be such assholes. What are some good comebacks and how can I make friends easier and not be alone. I can be talkative i just struggle trying to keep the conversation flowing.

I'm just different and I feel confused, lost, depressed, i dont know what to do. I wish I could go back to Cuba and be with my family there because here I only have my parents and siblings and a few aunts. I'm very mature for my age and that's because I was raised that way. My parents have worked their butts off to have me where I am today but it just doesnt work for me. It's always been tough for me to fit in and recently my life was getting better until I got the news I had to switch schools. It just hit me and I got very depressed and my parents just can't do anything about it. They can't keep taking me to my old school because they have to work and the buses of that school dont belong in the area i live so the school wont accept me. I'm very greatfull for everything i have and my family but i just dont know why i feel this way. Even my family here and in Cuba said i have changed a lot but ever since i moved to the united states everything about me changed. i used to be a sweet happy child and now im depressed. always angry and with a bad temper, i dont feel happy doing anything, i feel left out and different everything changed, im very sensitive so i cry over everything. im different from all the other girls because im more mature and i act more like an adult. i dont dress in a ''slutty'' way, well not how kids really dress but i dont like showing a lot. im shy and quiet and every time teachers or other kids pointing out it makes me feel worse. every girl just has a phone, expensive clothes, take pictures with the duck face and have their cliques and i do that sometimes but im not comfortable showing i do it. and its not about clothes or phones, i mean i wish i had expensive clothes but its more about how i feel being myself. my ''friends'' are just too different too, always talking about drama and boys and i dont like talking about that. i think more of my future, and how i want my life to be and that's what makes people think im boring and just too mature. i guess kids nowadays are just different. i love my family to death and this depression is just beating me. im afraid to talk to my parents because they wil just say suck it up or ''what other choice do you have'' and that makes me feel worse. my dad told me that if i ever feel bad about something dont over think it and to talk to him. i dont know anymore what i can or should do. and i already made some friends in my old school and in the last minute i have to switch schools?! that just made everything way worse. and something that i have never told my parents is that i get suicide thoughts and im scared. i need help please. im greatful for everything but i dont know why i feel like this i cant stand it im so depressed god i dont know if im brave enough to tell my dad all of this.

I'm flying on Monday and i need help with some stuff. What im taking on my luggage is basically my clothes, and shoes. But i have never taken a carry in bag and now im doing so and i need to know if i can take these items:

Mouthwash

Shampoo (big bottle)

Conditioner (big bottle)

Toothbrush

Deodorant

Perfume

Body Spray

Lotions

My ipod which i will probably play with lol

Bath powder

Ipod charger

Headphones

I think thats all, is there any size regulations, do i have to put those items on a clear plastic bag? Any suggestions?

it's really frustrating!! I just asked her if we could go to the mall to get some boots I like and she started talking about how it's summer no one wears combat boots blah blah. first of all ik people who do and i wanted to style them with shorts but she never listens. so she said we can't go and then she just tells me how she wants to go to Burlington to get a swimsuit!? and she said we can buy my boots next week? IT'S ALWAYS NEXT WEEK NEXT WEEK NEXT WEEK NEXT WEEK!!! 😡So she has time to go buy the swimsuit but not the boots with me? I even said we could do both today BUT NO ! this happens with other things is not only about shopping. I'm so frustrated because when my brother needs something she suddenly has time. She always criticizes my style and says I'm disorganized. At least I put away the dirty clothes in the laundry basket while my brother JUST THROWS THEM BACK IN HIS CLOSET! And no I don't have other family members around cause my other older brother is as annoying as my other brother and my aunt and my dad don't want to see each other. 😡😠

I heard if you wash your face with any soap and apply a thin layer of cornstarch it gets rid of pimples, is this true?

I'm 14 and last year my doctor prescribed Tretinoin .1% I started using it but I stopped because of severe peeling and pain. I started about three days ago again and have not applied it no more cause of too much inflammation and pain etc. the peeling doesn't bother me the pain it's just horrible. I feel the .1% consistency is too much to tolerate. I'm waiting for my skin to recover and me being stupid and I applied way too much so that explains it. But it's summer and I'm planning on being outside and that would not be good. Ik I said I would finish this but I can barely open my mouth to eat without the corners stinging. What can I do? :\

I have arm hair, basically every human does. Although that's common for guys.. My arm hair is not like a gorilla but if is noticeable specially because I'm Cuban and basically every Cuban girl has hair unless its genetics. My friends (Cubans too) have no arm hair at all, do they shave or wax or they just don't have it and do guys think arm hair is dusgusting because at my school people really rude and make jokes about arm hair. I think that's just worthless because everyone has arm hair :D

I have used benzoyl peroxide and it did clear up my forehead but I still have little bumps. After a few weeks the benzoyl peroxide just doesn't work anymore . I do remember a doctor put me on some acne pills (not accutane or birth control) and I stopped cause of the side effects and I want to go back and see if they help out. Do what pills/ medicine is good for mild acne specially on the t zone, chin and moth area . That could be hormonal acne though... And I hear zinc is very good .

Before I get started this will be kind of long and PLEASE just don't talk about cleansers, scrubs all that stuff because that's just going to make my skin worst . I want NATURAL ways to control my acne. And I'll be talking about other things. Okay.]. I'm 14 and I started getting pimples around 11 years old. A few months after I turned 12 my face went full with pimples specially my forehead. From night to day it happened like puff I have acne. It was horrible, frustrating and I wish I could go back and prevent it but I just can't. I started benzoyl peroxide which amazingly helped out a lot. My face is I would say 85% clear after that. But I still get break outs a lot. I didn't even know it could be so many things causing my acne! Hormones, bad eating, not getting sleep, not enough water etc. Why would a 12 year old even care about skincare? I got obsessed with having clear skin. I stressed out because everyone at school had super clear skin, I bet they eat junk foods, not wash their face, don't get enough sleep. They are immature kids so I bet they wouldn't care either way. I'ts just not fair, to many people who have acne. But you can't change your genes or get clear skin in one day. I did lots of research on acne and I learned a lot to plan something but I'm still doing something wrong and I don't know what. It's summer so I'm going to the gym every single day no matter what. I'm eating less, drinking more water, I'm working on getting more sleep though. I've used natural remedies and nothing yet seems to work!! Is it my hormones? Genes? Lifestyle? WHAT IS IT?!

What I need to know:

Foods/drinks that control hormones

And also I would like some pages with good info on acne and stuff like that.

A way to plan out a better skin care routine INVOLVING NO PRODUCTS (might start the caveman regimen and even go vegetarian)

And what foods to avoid

I would prefer long answers.

And just for extra fun, tell me, do you deal with acne? Or are you lucky enough to have clear skin ?

I'm doing a model of Saturn and I'm using styrofoam balls. I need to know how big does is the styrofoam ball that will represent Saturn because I have no idea! Would it be a ''2, ''3, ''4 ETC

And for the moons what would be the scale? I'm only doing 2 moons because Saturn has a lot of moons and I won't be able to fit them all. Also I need like a styrofoam board and some sticks to hold the balls. Where can I get all the materials? This is due tomorrow!!??
