First kiss jitters...okay before I give you some tips, im going to share my retarded first kiss story.

I had just turned 15, and I went to the movies with my BEST friend of two years. He and I had kind of joked about kissing, but he had kissed a couple girls, and I was still a "kissing virgin" (as my bestfriend calls it).well we sat through the whole movie, he put his arm around me and we were flirting (which we had never REALLY done before), and when the movie was over he and I walked to Starbucks. we were sitting outside on the ground and he pretty much just leaned over and kissed me. I was a bit shocked, because it was HORRIBLE. then he kind of laughed and goes, "yeah I pretty much just missed...can I try that again?" and I said sure, and we kissed a bit more. It was a cute, silly, fun first kiss story, and the butterflies were IMMENSE. :)

*there you have it! since then, I have become kind of "obsessed" with the chemistry of kissing, and how to make a kiss the best it can be... *

So you cant REALLY practice kissing...nothing feels quite like it unless your locking lips with an ACTUAL person... but there are things to do to prepare.

1. try kissing your hand a bit, mostly just to get accustomed to moving your lips. Movement and rhythm is very important when kissing. trust me.

2. FRESH BREATH! that's self explanatory....for real though...get breath strips or something that you can nonchalantly pop in without him noticing

3. Look good! Feel Good, BE CONFIDENT. last thing you want to do is worry about him not liking your hair, or noticing a big pimple right on your forehead. LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD, BE CONFIDENT THAT YOU ARE DOING SO!

4. no tongue...if he tries to slip the tongue just think to yourself. *DONT stick yours all the way in his mouth merely touch his with your swirl around 2 times and close your mouth asap.* if you are confident in tongue kissing, then well, best of luck to you, but tongue kissing is a hard art to master... (correctly)

5. keep conversation going throughout the night ...dont make things awkward, and after SAY SOMETHING...say something like "wow your good at that" or giggle politely, say you have to find your friend, and kiss his cheek cutely. thats a good way to end a kissing session.

GOODLUCK MY LADY! AND EMAIL ME LET ME KNOW HOW IT WENT, IF IT HAPPENED, AND PLEASE ENJOY YOURSELF, THATS AN EXPERIENCE YOU'LL ONLY EXPERIENCE ONCE IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE! :)

School Dance Dress Ideas

Alright Re- posting the question!

"sooo, school, and stuff started, and like, dances are coming up and I really dont know whats in style, because A. im not tht kinda gurl, and B. It's the beginning of the school year so i dont really have any examples to base my outfits/dresses from...so since ive never really written to you before, but i read your other out fit post, do you have any input and stuff? -Jenna-"

Okay, so basically

*what kind of dresses are in style
*what do i wear to dances that are more casual

OKAY

   First dress is for the girly girl. its modest, not trashy, has a pretty style, and if you don't like pink, get it in a different color. i also think this dress would be pretty with a pair of simple black pumps, or strappy silver stilettos.
*ANOTHER benefit of a dress like this, is the pretty design eliminates the need for a necklace or belt. it is like a built in accessory :) cheaper, and less decisions :)

maybe this dress isnt for you, BUT a dress along these lines would be a good idea! not super tight fitted, elegant, and long story short---FREAKING CUTE!

Second one: This one is just cute...okay? its for the girly, adventurous, tomboy...like seriously, its for anyone who just wants a cute dress! you can find dresses like this with sleeves, longer, different colors, they're super Chic, in style, popular, and ADORABLE! I suggest wearing pumps with these type of dresses (no straps) as these dresses make your legs look AWESOME, and pumps do too...so its a win win if you wear pumps. I think its a good idea to wear a bright colored shoe if you wear white or black or grey dresses, and bright colored accessories. with a dress like this (Especially if you wear a necklace) I think side braid or hair up is best.
_________________________________________________________________________________
There are obviously a million different dresses to choose from, those two are just a couple in style, inexpensive, easy to find dresses. I personally suggest staying away from floor length unless its prom or senior ball (harder to dance in, and you might look a bit overdressed if your group doesnt all wear floor length)

*********************************************************************************

As for casual dances, seriously, just wear a cute button up blouse with a high wasted skirt or something... or a casual lace dress or something along those lines. I know every girl has at least 2 really cute semi dressy outfits in their closet, so just whip it out, wear your hair in a braid or bun, and call it good! :)
