How can I just feel and look pretty?
I am a girl who is going to be 15 in September, I have blonde hair, blue eyes, some freckles on my cheeks nose not very noticeable though. I have kind of pale skin. I am 5'5 and I weigh 112 lbs so I am pretty skinny. I have long legs, and my facial features are not bad, I have a nice small nose, nothing on me is ugly, but nothing is pretty. No boys have liked me. I just want to be pretty! Sorry If i was confusing!
Telling my boss I'm looking for a second job?
Yes and no. I suggest telling your boss that you're having financial trouble and that you plan to look for a second job. Make sure to be very clear that your current job is your priority and that it will always take precedence. I worked for a huge footwear/apparel company and I had to do the same thing - I had family financial trouble due to an unexpected medical bill. They were really great about it and my manager even offered to make some calls for me. Do not tell your boss you're listing him as a reference. As him if he'd have any reservations about giving you a recommendation. A lot of places want job references, but they don't 100% have to be people who've managed you. Sometimes they just have to be professional references - meaning people you've worked with and interacted with. Preferable people who can give examples of times when you've helped them be successful at their job. Good luck!

I am 39, and am so not looking forward to turning 40. Is a good life possible after 40?
When I was turning 40, my life was a mess. I’ve lost my job and started hard and stressful freelance life. Very tight with money. I had a miscarriage. My marriage was falling apart. My husband… well, let’s just say I felt very ugly, fat, old and unwanted. And also - my father died when he was 40 so, with all my existential crisis, I felt some new fears - of death.Well… it all didn’t look nice. I honestly thought that it was all over. That it will just go downhill from there, and not for very long.Then, life took over… with a little of my help. I had a 3y old son and I figured that I can’t surrender to that depressing feeling. I pushed myself to go out with him more, to teach him things. Also tried to spend more time with friends, to go to therapy as much as I could afford. A little better. I’ve discovered there’s still a lot of optimism in me. I’ve started to learn to avoid mean comments and toxic fights from my husband, and dark thoughts about death. I simply worked more. I started to feel there is so much more I can give. New ideas came. I felt my brain is still awake. And just small random flirtation from a random man made me open my eyes completely - so, I’m also not actually old, ugly and unwanted? It’s not over yet?All new feelings came. I figured out that I’m a fighter, strong, that I’m actually - great. Finally I started thinking good about myself, in all aspects or life. Remebered all my successes. And wrote them down to not forget them, ever. When I figured that out, when I finally started to LOVE and RESPECT myself it all started to make sense. And to get a lot better.Yes, I tried for 3 more years to fix bad relationship, there were bad moments, bad thoughts, but never like before. Finally I had myself and knew my worth. And with that, you attract and create whole new environment.Now, aproaching 47, in a happy and loving new relationship with a great man, 2 sons, many friends, satisfying job and my internal peace, I really can say life begins at 40. Even 90 doesn’t seem frightening. Stay strong, love yourself.
I'm 12 stone (168 pounds) and I'm 13...is that fat? I don't look fat,I just looker..bigger..?
I don't have fat clinging to my arms,and I don't look fat, just..bigger I'm considered tall for my age,I'm 5ft 3 I eat right, and I don't eat that much bad food,although, I do eat bigger portions..but that's because I'm hungry Most of my friends are really tiny, and don't eat anything but sweets Am I fat? I was thinking of joining a dance class, and getting fit,and that way I might get skinny My boyfriend likes me though,and thinks I'm beautiful,yet..I still feel ugly Does weight matter all that much? I mean,I have a slow metabolism and I'm quite tall..but the doctor said I seem healthy,so..
Im scared of how braces will look on me?
Im getting braces soon, and i am so freaked out. Im not worried about the pain or anything, but im more worried about how i will look when i have them on. Is this normal to feel like this? I consider myself as not so good looking, so that makes me even more scared that i might look even worse when i get them on. I see other people around the school and stuff and they also have braces, and they look gorgeous with them on, but then i try to picture myself with them and i think i would look really hideous. I have an overbite, so i am trying to make my mouth look smaller, in short. I am in year 10, so i may have them on till i finish school, which could be even worse. Can someone help me? Detailed answers would muchly be apprieciated! Sel xo
How bad is it to turn 40 years old?
Before I give you the list of cons, I want to tell you that I am much happier at 40 than I was at 20 and 30. Hands down. Loving wife, wonderful son, fantastic friends, great job, quality lifestyle, perfect home town - I had none of those when I was 20 or 30, but have them all now that I am 40.More daily routine planning needed: I have to plan my days a little more in advance, to allow for breaks, exercise and learning to keep up with the job. I even have to plan for “spontaneous time”, in case it happens, so that it doesn’t throw off the rest of my day.Exercise: You need to be getting into a consistent exercise routine at 40, otherwise your body will be feeling the consequences more often. One thing to note, however - I play football regularly, and I am still a better player than most of the 20 and 30 year olds that I play with, which is a by-product of regular exercise.Eating healthier: I stay away from fast foods and processed foods now, simply because my body starts to shut down (similar to a mini-hangover) after I eat large amounts of sugar and fat. I used to be able to bounce back from a lunch at McDonalds or KFC, but not anymore. Drink lots of water and avoid high sugar, salt and fats.Haemorrhoids: They suck. It means you can’t eat processed foods, or sit down for long periods of time without it literally being a pain in the ass.Coughing: I am more prone to coughing than I was when I was younger. My throat is more sensitive, it seems.Eyesight fades: I can’t see things as clearly, particularly small text. You’ll notice a larger percentage of over 40’s wearing glasses, case in point.Strange new pains in your body. Sadly, this is true. A new ligament or muscle causes irritation or pain every month or two. Again, exercise is key.Social stigmas: People expect you to know better and be more mature/balanced in thought and have more experience, but in reality, you are just as naive, foolish and fun-loving as the younger (and older) generations when it comes to new technologies, processes, procedures, etc. You just give a sh*t less about the small stuff, and are wise enough to give things more time before you react.
