Q1: I just got married and made love for the first time. I didn't bleed. My husband is the only man I slept with, plus I'm not even into sports. Could there be anything wrong?

A1: Don't panic. Not all the women bleed the first time they had sex. In case you don't really know, the hymen is the membrane at the vaginal opening. Menstrual blood can flow trough because it has perforations in it. But then sometimes, there is a large central opening. The hymen maybe stretch rather than torn - in which case there is no bleeding for the first time you had sex. There are possibilities that it may tear and bleed later during more rigorous intercourse. Whether a girl bleeds or not during her first sexual intercourse, does not determine she is a virgin or not. The hymen could have been torn during sports activities, tampon use, gynecological examinations, injury from falling and etc.

Q2: Why do I always feel to pee when I'm having sexual intercourse with my husband?

A2: It is most likely your husband is hitting your "G-spot". Many women reports feeling the urge to urinate when their G-Spot is stimulated. This happens because the g-spot which is actually a spongy pad wrapped around the urethra is near the bladder. Pressure is put on the wall near the bladder when thrusting takes place, thats why you have that sensation. Most women says, that orgasm is often followed when the feeling of wanting to urinate very badly comes. Just remember to pee before having sex, then you know its not really a need to urinate. This way, you won't feel distracted from enjoying the sensation during sex. Don't worry too much, its normal.

Q3: Does contraceptive pills cause weight gain? Are there any side effects if taken for longer periods?

A3: It is a long standing myth that the pill causes women to gain weight. A research has been done on the pill in UK that revealed 99% of women are not affected - only a minority of women experience weight gain.

In terms of side effects, most users of the pills experience none. The common side effect that have been reported so far are nausea, bleeding in between periods, headaches, mood changes, and breast tenderness. On the other hand, there are also some side effects that you actually might be happy to have such as lighter period, milder menstrual crams, and improved acne condition.

Like A Brazilian Virgin

2008-03-12T20:04:00.000-07:00

There's always a first time to everything. If you have not tried the well known Brazilian wax, maybe it's time for you to try.

What is a Brazilian wax?
Brazilian wax is not a bikini wax, but it is a wax where it removes all your pubic hair.

There are a list of after care waxing treatment that was given by my therapist. These are some of the things you need to do for the next 24 hours:

1. Avoid sun bathing
2. Avoid tight clothing
3. No hot bath or shower
4. Do not rub or touch the area. Empty follicles provide a route for bacteria invasion.
5. Avoid the use of perfume products.
6. Avoid heat or ultraviolet treatments such as sun beds and saunas.
7. Avoid bathing in the swimming pool or in the sea.
8. Avoid deodorant or antiperspirant.
9. Avoid using self-tanning products and makeup.

The negative side of Brazilian wax.
- It can last you as much as 3 weeks but the hair will grow back and you have to do it again.
- Your hair has to be a certain length before it can successfully being waxed.
- You might experience red bumps or ingrown hairs.

What makes you look dull in the morning?

2008-03-05T22:47:00.000-08:00

Beauty creams can absorb much better if you have a good night sleep. Below are the following bad habits, that could be slipping among you and a glowy morning complexion.

1. Clogged pores normally appears due to applying too much night cream. So, make sure you apply a pea-sized dollop or just enough as recommended on the bottle.

2. No matter how exhausted you feel, neglecting to remove make-up will lead to breakouts in the long run. So, please don't be lazy dear.

3. Munching on fried noodles, junk foods, before bed is not a good idea. The salt makes your skin retain water especially around the eyes next morning.

4. Dull and dry skin can also occur by having alcoholic drinks. Be sure to drink up a LARGE glass of water before hitting the bed on social nights.

8 Points on preserving youthfulness

2007-12-05T06:26:00.001-08:00

1. Makeup can make you appear much more mature and either takes years off your face than you really are. Keep in mind all these makeup guidelines to keep that fresh look alive and preserve your youthfulness.

2. The key to look young is to look fresh. To show your natural skin, make sure your foundation is sheer. Go for an oil free foundation and blend it well if you need coverage.

3. A good lip gloss is needed even though your look matured. Do not use bright pink or oranges instead use rose or burgundy tones.

4. Before applying makeup, moisturize your skin first and if your skin is already dry avoid using powder. Makeup on dry skin makes you look aged.

5. Use creamy brown-based reds for lipstick and avoid using colored lip liners. Bright red lips don’t match to dark eye makeup and this brings a dramatic definition that can pile on the decades to your looks.

6. A single best makeup tool for keeping age at a bay is always to keep a good concealer handy. For an even complexion, use concealer on dark circles or blotchy patches.

7. A good blusher boosts up your natural look and keep you looking healthy and radiant. Go for peach or warm pink shades and apply to the apples and sweep towards your temples.

8. The thing that shouldn’t be abandoned is an intense eye makeup. Tone soft grey shadows on your eye lids is the key to play safe. Use a thin black eye pencil to line the top of your eye lashes or a dark grey or pewter liner right below lower lashes.

4 Skin Damage Factors

2007-11-27T00:31:00.000-08:00

Fine lines around your eyes and lips that were never there before suddenly are noticeable. Your skin looks dull and your jowls start to sag. These are the signs that set women on a quest to find a solution to repair, tighten and mask any trace.

Our natural defenses blocked and our skin healing power is outperformed when aging comes. When this occurs, our skin is more vulnerable to external agents and tends to lose its firmness.

Below are some of the reasons why our skin ages faster:

1. Lack of rest
Think again! If you think 5 to 6 hours of sleep is revitalizing. To build new cells, to slow down the process of aging, our cells need at least 8 hours of rest to regenerate. Increases of stress levels and not sleeping enough can cause oxidate levels in our body to regenerate free radicals that cause the skin to age. The skin ages based on the highest stress levels.

2. Bad habits
Collagen fibers in our skin decrease the oxygen supplies to the skin and causes early wrinkles because of smoking. It also chars your lungs. Flushed appearance of broken vessels on our skin surface looked age because of alcohol intake. Our blood flow becomes irregular and this gives way to rapid skin aging without enough physical activities.

3. Environmental stress
Breakdown of elastic fibers and collagen in the skin are one of the reasons of environmental issues that cause wrinkles and sagging. Dead skin self accumulate on the surface, pores get clogged, outer layer becomes irritated and coarse make your skin look dull are the signs of slow cell turnover. UV rays from the sun causes hyper pigmentation which increases the production of melanin in the form of spots, blotches and uneven skin tone that makes our skin appear much older than it is.

4. Genetic factor
In our aging rate, gene plays a big role. Our genes are determined by 30% of our skin’s youthfulness. Our makeup DNA is determined by how our skin response to environmental and physical damage. Our skin is more likely to age faster if we inherit aging skin genes.

Normally, people are allergic to lip balms that contain cocoa butter. Another reason is that you might be lack of riboflavin or Vitamin B2 that causes cracked lips. It is wise to check with a doctor.

4. Question: Is it advisable to have sex during menses?

Your hair is assumed as your grassy backyard lawn.
