What is a period????

When will my first period come?? Since you first heard the word "period," you've probably been wondering what it is and when you'd get your first period. Although most girls get their first period between 11-14 years old, you could start your period anywhere from 8-17 years old.You could narrow that down by taking clues from your body. During puberty, when your body becomes sexually mature, you'll have some of these changes that show your period's on its way. (By the way, these changes may happen in a different order than listed here.)Developing Breasts. First, you'll get breast "buds". (Your breasts then can take up to 3-4 years to fully develop.) Generally you will get your period 2-3 years after your breasts start developing. Growing Pubic Hair. Right after your breasts start to form, you'll start developing pubic hair. It will be soft and thin at first, then gradually become coarser. Your period usually arrives around 1-2 years after the hair development. Discharge. This is the big sign. You'll start to experience vaginal discharge that will be either white or yellowish. If you like, you may want to start using Alldays Pantiliners to protect you underwear. You period should start around 6-12 (but up to 18) months after the start of discharge. There's one more way to figure out when you'll start menstruating: Ask your mom. You'll probably get your period within a year or so of when she got hers.Since you'll only have a general idea of when you'll get your period, you might want to do some planning.Most girls will use pads at least for their first period. Your first period will probably be fairly light so Always Thin Maxi Regular or Always Thin Ultra Regular would be a good choice of pad. If you are physically small, you may want to consider Always Thin Ultra Slender. It's a good idea to keep a pad or two hidden in your locker at school, and carry another in your backpack. This way you won't be caught off guard when it does happen.
Relax, you will get your period, and you'll have them for a long time!

Don't ask, won't know.

Hey Girlz it's Rose! :)
So lately my friend's have been coming to me with relationship problems because... Well I'm not really sure why. I think it's because I can usually spot chemistry between two people quite easily and give decent advice.
And now they've all asked me the same question 'How do you know if the person likes you?'
Well I can give you all the signs to look for, but how will that be any different then reading the advice from other websites or from a teen magazine?
They will all tell you the same things. Look at their body language, if they make and hold eye contact, if they blush and look away when caught staring at you. If they laugh at all your dumb jokes (everyone is guilty of laugh at the most idiotic things there crushes say)
The most important thing I will say to someone if they ask me about whether someone likes them or not is want is, 'I don't know, and you can ask as many people as you want what they think, but you will never know for definite if you don't ask them!'
Now after I say that you'll try and argue, but we're good friends that could ruin our friendship if they don't like me, or we have mutual friends what if they feel awkward and spend time with them and not me.
As my religion teacher always says, what if questions are always hard to answer. So you've got to ask yourself, do you think you like this person enough, to put your friendship on the line so you can be more then friends. Or is your friendship to important to you? These are questions only YOU can answer. You friends can't, I can't and even Lucy can't.
So if you really like them, and you feel something there, then by all means go for it, but no one can tell you or not, it's something only you and your crush can ever know.
Love
Rose <3

REVIEW!! : Garnier body intensive 7 days lotion

heya girls!!!! lucy here!!!
this is my  second review and i must say its probably the best!!
Garnier body intensive 7 days lotion works SO well!!!
theres five different types for each skin type :


Normal Skin :
this is for normal skin when it just gets a little dry or after shaving.
Sensitive Skin : 
this is for sensitive skin after shaving or when it gets a little dry.


Dry Skin :
for everyday or even every week use when your skin gets dry. 


Extra Dry Skin :
for those days when you just have to use this! 

Dry Dull Skin :
use after shaving ( dry skin) and even if you just need a bit more strength.






i hope this helps and thanks for all your support :)
love, Lucy <3


QUESTION OF THE MONTH!!

QUESTION 2 : 


when I'm on my period can i not do normal stuff..????


FALSE!!!!


you can do everything you do when not on your period while on your period!! don't let it take over!!!!!!!!!  but sometimes a pad just won't cut it... so try using a tampon for activities like swimming, gymnastics etc. i recommend Tampax Pearl. its perfect for first time users!! 


i hope this helps :)
love, Lucy <3

REVIEW!! : tampax pearl

hey gyrlz!!! lucy here!

so lately iv been "risking my life " with new tampons.. i used to use ubykotex but i wanted something new!!! i read about some great choices on Beinggirl.com but tampax pearl always stands out from the crowd!! so, what makes tampax pearl so good? easy question and i can answer it with the following :

1. it has a leak guard braid to help protect leaks (as if that was possible!)
2. its easy to use plastic applicator makes it so easy for first timers!
3. the tampon opens 180º (unlike the kotex which opens 360º) which makes it easier to remove (in my opinion) !
4. the wrapper is so quiet it barely makes a sound cause when your in the bathroom , who really needs to know what your doing?!
5. the best part about using a tampon is that you can be free!!!!! i know that some pads can help you move easily but with tampons, you barely feel like its there!! and of course theres just some  things you can't do with a pad! e.g. swimming, gymnastics and sometimes running.  now I'm not making you have to use them, or have to use one every time your on your period but sometimes its just easier!

hope this helped :)
love

20 Worst chat up lines.

These are chat up line... Usually said by guys but don't use them because... the guy probably won't find them funny and will just kinda get really distant.
20. Do your legs hurt? Because you’ve been running around my mind all night.
Absolutely nobody boy or girl wants to hear this.. it actually makes people cringe everytime they hear it... so don't use it.
19. Do you believe in love at first sight…or do I have to walk by again?
really..trust... me it's just a big no no.
18. Hey, is your dad a terrorist? Cos baby, you’re the bomb!
Really cheesy and a little dumb.
17. Do you have a map? Because I keep getting lost in your eyes.
Now this one is really cheesy... Just don't use it!
16. I've forgotten my phone number, can I have yours?This is really idiotic... If a guy said this to you, you'd slap him wouldn't you?
15. Have you got a band aid? Because I hurt my knee falling for you.
This one makes me want to vomit... It is really cringy :(
14. Did it hurt? When you fell out of heaven.
How many times have we all heard this?
13. Is there an airport close by; or is that just my heart taking off?
This is just ridculous.
12. Hi, I'm doing a survey in this area ...What's your name? What's your phone number? Are you free next Friday?
This may actually cause i can actually a guy i know saying it. It'd make you laugh but I personally wouldn't use it.
11.Can I borrow your cell phone? (Why?) I'd like to call God to say I found his missing angel.
This is really cheesy but I'd still probably laugh.
10. You see my mate over there? He wants to know if you think I'm cute.
It's funny and you'd laugh and if a certain guy said it you might find it charming.. But some creep in the disco? Then it's just weird.
9.  If you were a new hamburger at McDonald's, you would be McGorgeous.
I'm pretty sure if a guy said this he'd get a drink in the face.
8. You must be Jamaican, because Jamaican me crazy.
Okay this is way over used.
7. Hi, my name is {name}, how do you like me so far?
This is corny.. but I'd probably laugh.
6. Was your father a thief? 'Coz someone stole the stars from the sky to put in your eyes
This one isn't even funny... it's just cheesy...
5.Look at the tag in her shirt and say: "I want to see if you were really made in heaven."
Would reward with a slap.
4."I may not be the prettiest girl/most handsome guy in here, but I'm the only one talking to you."
This really won't go over well because guys truely are as sensitive as girls.
3.Baby, if you were words on paper you'd be fine print."
This is just... cheesy
2. Your name must be Summer, cause you’re HOT!
This seems cute.. but really it's just creepy.
1. Do I know you?
Seriously I know a guy who always uses this and it is really just annoying everyone now :(
Anyway hope you liked my 20 worst chat up lines.
Love

Do's and Don't's in flirting.

Okay Lucy and I were just remembering a really embaressing moment I had with a guy I use to like, because of my bad flirting :P
So I've decided to help you guys out so you don't end up in an akward situation like I did.
okay first I'll start with the don't because their actually kinda funny.
DON'T
1. Don't tell them to act homsexual.
(I did this this and it was really embaressing because he had a stalker and I told him to pretend to be Homosexual so she'd just want to be friends and it didn't go down to well... So just DON'T DO IT!)
2. Don't use dumb chat up lines.
Guys just really don't go for them... They use them and I'll be going through the WORST chat up lines ever but seriously don't use them!
3. Don't lie. If they say they do something, don't say you do it too if you don't. Serious they'll find out and then they won't understand why you lied.
4. Don't write a song about them. Well... If you wanna do what I do and write simply to get a guy out of your system then fine do that but don't sing it to them... or do what my guy friend did and post it on youtube for everyone in your school to hear.
5. Don't stalk them. Like if they are playing in a match and some of your friends are going then fine tag along, but don't hang around outside his house. It'll freak him out.
6. Don't ignore him. I know alot of people say play hard to get and he'll be more intrested but seriously would you like a guy to ignore you? Or would you rather he talked to you and treated you well?
7. Don't be too obvious that your flirting with him or he could get scared off (men right?) but rather just drop little hints.
8. Absolutely do not stare. This will definatly freak him out and remember guys talk about girls just as much as we talk about them... and if a creep stared at you, you'd tell your friends right?
9. Don't over do it. Just some simple compliment and laugh at his lame jokes. Guys can be just as insecure a girl are.
10. Don't be a big flirt and flirt with every other guy in the room, because when a guy does that, he's a player and no one likes or pursues a player.
Okay the DO'S.
1. Smile at him when you see him. Don't act cold and distant towards him or he'll think you don't like him.
2. Make as much eye contact as possible with him. It'll show him your confident and any lad will tell you there's nothing sexier then someone with confidence.
3. Laugh at his jokes. (yes even the stupid ones. it'll make him feel good about himself)
4.Talk to him first. Now there is a whole lot of nonsense going around saying a guy should start the conversation, but maybe he is shy (trust me I know a really shy guy but underneath he is so sweet and lovely)
5. Make sure you pay attention to what he's saying. If he tells you about his family ask him how they are and ask about his hobbies, so he'll know you were listening.
6. Make yourself look approachable. If your standing or sitting with a big group of girls, he's gonna feel unbelievably self concious going up to you, so make sure you don't have your back turned and smile, making yourself look friendly.
7. if you feel that he is totally into you, make a move. 95% of guys said they'd like for a girl to make the first move.
8.When talking to him, make sure your body is pointing towards him, palms flat and open towards him, your feet straight and pointing at him, it let's him know your completely focus on him and your attention isn't wandering.
9. If you suck at something like if you were me let's say throwing a football. Then why not as your crush to 'help' you? You'll have to stand close together and you'll definatly know if you've got chemistry or not.
10. If he's talking or telling a joke, place a hand on his arm or shoulder or lightly tap him.
I hope you find these helpful and trust me don't do any of the don'ts!
Anyway I'll be to sure to put up the WORST chat up lines soon :)
Love
Rose <3

What's on the inside.

Hey girls.
Tonight I was with two of my friends and we were discussing about what first attracts us to a person. Now I am guilty of looking at guys and immediatly dismissing them and going for the goregous guy that EVERYONE is in love with.
But the more I thought about it the more I realised that it doesn't matter what the person looks like on the outside. wether there tall, short or medium. Fat, thin ginger or blonde or brunette. if they've acne or if they don't. if they wear glasses or contacts... it just doesn't matter. We don't choose our friends based on there looks, we choose them because their funny and kind and caring. So why do we so easily judge people we could have a relationship with?
I realised this because I fancy my best boy mate  and to be honest... to look at you wouldn't see what I see. All I'm going by is his personality and little things I like about him.
So what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter what you look like. Just always remember to be yourself. Who cares what other people think? Someone will come along who'll love you for who you are. Just always remember that.
Love Rose <3
