  • should i talk to her in person or write her a letter? please help?

    Friends - 4 hours ago

    Additional Details

    There's this girl who I really like and I'm pretty sure she likes me in the same way. However, I feel like things are going downhill because I haven't really expressed how much I like her. So I've decided to just tell her how I feel (and don't tell me not to, I've made up my mind). Since seeing her is getting harder and harder to do, I've thought about just writing her a letter so I wouldn't be waiting to see her one-on-one. So my question is, which would be better, in person or a letter? I'm a somewhat shy guy so I feel more confident about expressing how much I like her on paper, but not sure if it would be as powerful if I say her in person. Thanks to everyone who answers, I'll really appreciate it. Plus I'll give 10 points to best answer.

  • Could I have ruined my chances with the guy I like?

    Singles & Dating - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    The guy that I like and I usually eat lunch at about the same time every day (but we don't eat together.) I eat with a group of my friends, and he eats with a big group of his friends. Lately, one of my guy friends has been coming over to talk to me after I'm done eating and I think that my crush has noticed this and started to become jealous. He used to look at me all of the time when we would pass by each other on campus, but these past few days he's kind of been ignoring me. I know that this is a really stupid and immature question, but I'm worried. Could I have possibly ruined my chances of being with my crush?

    Marriage & Divorce - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Im 26 and was with my ex boyfriend since i was 17 we broke up last year. I met someone else when we were together and hung out with him and then i started sleeping with him and we both fell in love. I planned to break up with my ex on a certain night and on the same night he wouldn't let me talk as he wanted to ask me something and sure enough, he proposed to me. I didn't want to hurt him at all but i had to end things with him not only for me but him also as i didn't love him anymore. He freaked out when i told him and he slapped me across the face. I am still with the guy i cheated on him with and my ex is still holding a grudge. We both have mutual friends and he says nasty things about me and tells people personal stories i trusted him with and what we did together and is trying to make my life hell. I've heard from my best friend that he wants me back but he doesn't act like it. My friends said they wont take sides and i try to avoid being in the same places as him the best i can but i cant stand him anymore he is a horrible person. How can i make this right? Please help?

Hot summer hues

Posted Thu, Jun 04, 2009
POST A COMMENT »
The hot hues for summer have been marked and they are sure to be a part of your summer wardrobe.

Bonus - these saturated tones work on almost everyone! Two great reasons for having these colours as the 'it' shades for this season: 1) they are instant face brighteners and skin tone enhancers. A little goes a long way. And 2) these are fantastic mood enhancers! Not only for you, but for the people around you, too.

I've listed out some key colours and some  skintone guidelines to help with your selection this summer:

Cobalt blue:
Whether or you are a bleach blonde or a raven haired girl, with a beige skin tone, this beautiful tone looks best in this colour.

Emerald green:
Golden girls rejoice, as this shade looks best with a very warm, golden toned skin.

Coral pink:
The color coral usually looks good with all skin tones, but girls with very deep, dark, rich skin pull this off best.

Royal purple:
Similar to the cobalt, this colour works well with beige and yellow toned skin. Brunettes tend to look awesome

Tangerine orange:
Anyone with a super bronze tan will benefit from a little fresh orange thrown on for good measure this summer.

You best bets for colour placement?

Keep the jewel toned blues, greens and purples to your eyes using strongly pigmented shadows and liners.
If you want a slightly toned down look, try a coloured mascara in one of these shades instead.

The corals and tangerines can be incorporated in not only eyeshadows, but on your cheeks and lips, too. Coral is hot hot hot this summer for the cheeks, and a tangerine lip stain is the perfect compliment for a fresh faced look to hit the Sunday brunch patios with.

Bonus for all of these deep, bright hues - they are all big when it comes to nail polish. The deeper, dark shades are making appearances on hands, while you are spotting less of the French pedicure and more bright pink and orange tones on the toes.

What about those hot summer nights when you want to smoke it up a bit and these bright, cheery colours just won't cut it? Black is harsh, grey is more suited for fall, and, really, who doesn't want a dash of smoldering colour as part of their evening look?

Navy blue has been cast into the shadows for far too long as the professionally stuffy, practical, older sibling of the colour world, and it is making its mark as the new black when it comes to makeup.

Use navy blue for a sexy, summery alternative to the black smoky eye. It's a great option for brown eyed girls, as navy is very complimentary to this particular eye colour.

And this colour, too, should not be confined to the face. Dark blue and navy nail polish are huge this season. Try one from Opi, MAC and Revlon, as they are all carrying shade of deep blue.

Moving into the next few months of summer, embrace the colour selection infront of you and I bet you'll find your mood perking up, too!

    These colors sound nice, but none of them apply specifically to pale skinned people. You say these look best on beige, golden, dark, or yellow skinned girls.
