a lot of different things can affect birth control: weight, stress, age, diet, sleep.....sometimes the positive effects of the birth control start to wear off if you are on the same one for too long.

i wouldn't jump the gun completely on the birth control you are on - you might want to look at what's going on with you internally first. it could be that your diet is out of whack and its causing an imbalance with your hormones (what you eat does affect your hormones - especially when it comes to sugar intake).

8/11/2011 1:35:26 PM

Seriously the rational side is like REALLY WTF i don't need this right now. Ya I don't do BC would prefer not to either but maybe its something i have to look into.

but reading PMS on MayoClinic.com and its like yes its peaks for women in their late 20s early 30s. DAMMIT.

8/11/2011 1:48:06 PM

i think it would be helpful to talk to your GYN and see what they say. if everything else is working fine without BC and you're happy not taking it, then going on it doesn't need to be necessary unless the PMS is SOOOO bad you're like, "OMG THIS IS MY LAST RESORT BEFORE I KILL EVERYONE"

i know you work out a lot. you might want to look at other factors - if you're eating enough veggies and fruit, watching your sugar intake, how much sleep you get a night. you mentioned you just got a new mattress - which should help you sleep better and more soundly - which could help with getting agitated and mood swings.

8/11/2011 1:53:32 PM

Well I don't mind it b/c its not that extreme but when other people notice I am moody or something wrong when its not then its an issue.

8/11/2011 1:59:39 PM

i wish these didn't have the chunk of cork on the bottom. i love this color, no clue what I would wear them with - i just like it! I also secretly want DivaB to give me a professional wardrobe makeover

8/11/2011 2:14:42 PM

I wanna make a Diva's Picks thread, where DivaBaby19 can post daily fashion items she likes so that I can go out and buy them

8/11/2011 2:18:03 PM

^ YES PLEASE!!! SOMEONE MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!

8/11/2011 2:18:45 PM

AHAHAHAHAHA this is what my blog is supposed to be about if I actually start posting shit

well fav anything (clothing, food, music)

I could get on board a thread....just give me time to search for today's pick

8/11/2011 2:28:15 PM

For cramps, exercise or take a hot bath

8/11/2011 2:42:45 PM

Exercise!

My tub is way too small to take a comfortable bath

8/11/2011 2:43:48 PM

my tub doesn't hold in water

8/11/2011 2:45:30 PM

sometimes i tell my boyfriend i only moved in with him because his house has a corner jacuzzi tub

8/11/2011 2:46:25 PM

^ YES! Haha. Bubble baths are only good if you have a big, jetted tub. We have a huge, corner tub and an outdoor jacuzzi tub ... wintertime BLISS.

DECIDE MY LIFE TWW: HAIR EDITION

Yesterday I had the black dye stripped out of my hair so it's pretty close to my natural color now. I promised my mom that I would (try) not to dye it again for at least a year, so I want to change the style instead.

Here's what it looks like now:



(that's the pic I sent my mom with my no-dye pledge)

I'm thinking short-ish and bangs.

IDEARS?!

8/12/2011 1:02:22 PM

choppy layers?





Shorter more stacked bob



I shall search for more...you have the attitude and face for them all

8/12/2011 3:54:50 PM

MAN! I really like that second one diva. I bet that would look good on begonias!

8/12/2011 3:55:36 PM

omg! that 2nd pic - I saw it in a magazine yesterday and it was the inspiration for me to cut my hair

8/12/2011 4:00:22 PM

I really like the 1st one, but a little longer

like a mix between 1 and 3

[Edited on August 12, 2011 at 4:02 PM. Reason : double post! plz to not suspend!]

8/12/2011 4:01:15 PM

you look like a full on dyke in those pics lol

8/12/2011 4:03:43 PM

I loved Mandy Moore's short hair. And she's another tall girl, like begonias.

^^dammit

I love your honesty

8/12/2011 4:07:03 PM

You won't look dikey as long as you dress feminine. Wear makeup and earrings and you'll be fine.

hahahahaha

I very rarely wear makeup or earrings

shit I hardly ever brush my hair

guess it's dyke-a-licious for me... too bad softball season is over

8/12/2011 4:10:52 PM

Then maybe go a little longer, like Kristin Cavallari's cut here:



I love this cut. Short and manageable, but very feminine.

Plus, if you want to get skanktastic, you can pull it back and add a Jessica Simpson hair extension ponytail.

[Edited on August 12, 2011 at 4:12 PM. Reason : s]

8/12/2011 4:11:43 PM

I like that!

it kinda looks like how I got it cut a few months ago

8/12/2011 4:18:32 PM

Yeah, I think that cut would look good on you. And as athletic as you are, you probably do want something that you can pull back into a ponytail or pigtails from time to time. It's a really nice length.

8/12/2011 4:20:42 PM

8/12/2011 4:25:57 PM

you have a pretty face, but its a lil more "muscular" which is why your soft bob works...if you're gonna add some layers, make sure they land softly and not edgy like the photos you posted...thats when you start looking like you wanna eat a vag

you can pull off fun short styles easy


also...softball is just starting we need girls

[Edited on August 12, 2011 at 4:27 PM. Reason : e]

8/12/2011 4:26:42 PM

You can even pull off Paris Hilton's look

8/12/2011 4:34:44 PM

Oh wow, I like that cut too. gg, DB19.

8/12/2011 4:36:14 PM

2^winner

8/12/2011 4:39:27 PM

Man, I actually like something Paris Hilton has.

8/12/2011 5:14:22 PM

I want something that's easy to manage and will look OK if I don't do anything to it (like not even blow drying)

Paris' has too many layers... I have a LOT of hair plus it's pretty thick too, and when I have a lot of layers it never looks right unless I actually style it

every time I get my hair done, the person is always like "omg you have THE BEST hair!" sometimes they'll bring over other stylists and they all touch my hair like o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

8/12/2011 5:55:33 PM

well fuck how about you give that information BEFORE we start looking for hairstyles next time?

8/12/2011 6:03:16 PM

SORRY

I'll make it up to you by playing on your softball team

8/12/2011 6:05:03 PM

can you actually play?

8/12/2011 6:50:18 PM

Linda played for our high school team

8/12/2011 6:58:58 PM

that's not what I asked

8/12/2011 7:01:52 PM

True. Haha if it helps, whenever Linda would come over to my house, my dad would chLlenge her to a game of basketball outside haha.

8/12/2011 7:07:11 PM

CASSIE YOU'RE AVOIDING THE QUESTION

can Linda play SOFTBALL??!!?!?! lol

8/12/2011 7:08:06 PM

Hahaha yes she can play softball!!

I am kind of bored and in the mood to bake. What to make?

8/12/2011 7:19:05 PM

I want cake

bake cake

8/12/2011 7:20:43 PM

Want to come over and bake with me? Although I ain't gonna lie I don't have a mixer - I do it all by hand haha

8/12/2011 7:22:03 PM

http://www.howsweeteats.com/2011/05/brown-sugar-banana-cupcakes-with-avocado-buttercream/

I think I might make the brown sugar banana cupcake and do a strawberry puree buttercream frosting (instead of the avocado)

8/12/2011 7:27:37 PM

oh damn that could make me get off the sofa lol

8/12/2011 7:39:19 PM

8/12/2011 7:40:02 PM

^^ whenever I mention to my dad we hung out he always talks about challenging you to a game of basketball.

^^^ do you want to come over? Mark is going to hang with friends. Or I can come to you. I believe you have mentioned before you are allergic to cats and we have one

[Edited on August 12, 2011 at 7:43 PM. Reason : Cupcakes]

8/12/2011 7:42:48 PM

I am serious. I live in Cary.

The only day I can't play is Tuesday unless it's like 9pm. oh and I can't do Saturday until after 12:30.

8/12/2011 7:44:17 PM

Well we play Tuesday & Thursdays 6:45, 7:45, or 8:45
