Eating clean is  a method where you only eat foods that are as natural as possible (nothing processed or along those lines)

Thank you so much everyone! All these replies were really helpful!

Well I had acne for a while so I did a lot of research on it to help me understand what is the point of these annoying bumps. And really every person is different. I know some people who get acne if they eat 1 bite of candy, while I know others who can binge on junk and not even get one blackhead. Acne is really just trial and error, but if you are looking for something new Clinique Acne Solutions worked well for me and I have sensitive skin.

I just wanted to post again to say thank you all so much! You were all helpful and I look forward to trying body brushing (I have never heard of it before).

Thanks again!

I definitly have a really funny story about my monthly visitor.

To begin with, I would like to say congratulations! This should not come with fears/worries you should be happy that now you are officially a woman!

So my story:

It was HALLOWEEN DAY when I got my first period. I just woke up early in the morning to get ready for school, and I had to go to the bathroom. I pulled down my pants and my underwear was stained with this lovely brown-ish red color. I honestly thought I had crapped my pants while I slept. I ran to grab another pair and threw that one away and wrapped it in toliet paper. Then I realized I should tell my mom in case it happens at school or in my costume (I had made my own and didn't want to ruin it lol)

So I ran over to my mom saying "I haven't done this since first grade, but I think I pooped my pants" she was all concerned and I ended up showing her the "evidence" in the trash. hehehehe, she said "No honey, thats your period"

To make the morning even better, my sister who will find ANY excuse to make fun of me heard everything and ran into the bathroom. To this day (3 years later) she still makes fun of me about it! hahaha

So now for some tips:

Cramps- Put a heating pad on your stomach and lay down. Also try stretching out your stomach if that doesn't work. Another thing, I read this in a magazine, is to try some yoga poses and it will help relieve the tension/pain.

Length- normal periods last about a week. but your first one might be more or less and is always a little different than your others. You might not even have regular periods for a couple months. Thats not abnormal.

Bloating- I am sorry but this one there is no cure for unless you take pills. Just wear some comfy clothes and enjoy your newfound womanhood!

Congratulations once more!

This is a really interesting thread! I am planning on being an actress (I am already, but I mean larger projects) and hopefully opening a dance studio when I am older. Those are my two favorite things in the world and I can't imagine myself doing anything else.

I am 16, but I definitely down growing.
