I just got my belly button pierced a month ago, but now I have to have surgery on my ankle. It can't wait, it has to be done immediately, but I don't want to take out my belly button ring and have it close up. What can I do?

My ears are very sensitive and I can only wear 14 k gold earrings. Will my belly button be the same way??

I'm getting my belly button pierced in the middle of April. How long will I have to wait before I can go swimming at a pool again?

I have naturally curly hair and I bleached it about 4 months ago so it's kind of dry. I try to take extra good care of my hair so it can be as healthy as possible and will grow out. I use DevaCurl no poo and DevaCurl one condition when I wash my hair, but because it's bleached I would like to find a good purple shampoo without any sulfates or parabens or anything that I can use once a week to maintain my blonde and a really good silicone and paraben free hair mask to help my dry hair. I want something really good that's not super expensive. Any ideas??

I've wanted to get my belly button pierced for a while now, how can I convince my mom to let me get it? I'll be 18 in a few months, but I want to have my parents approval and not just get it done behind their backs. It took FOREVER for me to convince my mom to let me get just a standard ear piercing , but she's not budging on the belly button piercing. I'm very responsible and I'll be able to pay for it myself. How can I convince her to let me get it?

A few months ago I started to get nightmares every single night and I'm still getting them. They're always reoccurring with very slight differences and are always about death. At first it was always about a family member or a friend dying, but now they're all about me dying and they're all extremely vivid and life-like. I never really remember the beginning of them or what happened that made this person want to kill me, but I remember every other detail so perfectly you'd think I was getting tested on it. Typically at the beginning I'm with a friend or my boyfriend and then I leave to go get something and then I begin getting attacked by a faceless person, I run away from them, but they won't stop chasing me. Finally they catch up to me and go to kill me, its a different way every night, but whatever they use to try to kill me I feel it like it was really happening. At this time I realize I'm asleep, but I can't wake myself up and everything gets even more real. The person teases me, but won't get along with it and kill me. I can't move or anything and I have to watch myself slowly die. Why do I keep having this dream!? What's wrong with me!? It scares me so much I dread going to sleep and I hate being alone now. What can I do to stop this?? I eat good, I get exercise, I'm overall a very happy person, I'm not depressed, I don't have anxiety, I'm not stressed out about anything, I don't watch anything even remotely scary on tv. What causes this!?
