Hey there! I haven’t done this exact thing specifically but I did have a pair of white sneakers that were stained with paint and I soaked them in bleach and they are now completely white again. I can’t say for sure but bleaching them may turn them a weird color if they’re already beige? It may be worth a shot, I would just let them soak in bleach for a day or so before washing them just to be sure, and you may also be able to find something for this in with the clothing dyes at the store. I hope this helps!

Hey there! I know this can be super scary and stressful so here are a few tips!

PracticePractice answering interview questions and practice your responses to the typical job interview questions and answers most employers ask. Think of concrete examples you can use to highlight your skills. Providing evidence of your successes is a great way to promote your candidacy. Also have a list of your own questions to ask the employer ready.

ResearchDo your homework about the employer and the industry so you are ready for the question What do you know about this company? Know the interviewer's name and use it during the job interview. If you're not sure of the name, call and ask prior to the interview. Try to relate what you have learned about the company when answering questions.

Get ReadyMake sure your interview attire is neat, tidy and appropriate for the type of firm you are interviewing with.Bring a nice portfolio with copies of your resume. Include a pen and paper for note taking.

Be On TimeBe on time for the interview. On time means five to ten minutes early. If need be, take some time to drive to the interview location ahead of time so you know exactly where you are going and how long it will take to get there. 

Stay CalmDuring the job interview try to relax and stay as calm possible. Remember that your body language says as much about you as your answers to the questions. Proper preparation will allow you to exude confidence. Take a moment to regroup. Maintain eye contact with the interviewer. Listen to the entire question before you answer and pay attention - you will be embarrassed if you forget the question.

Show What You KnowTry to relate what you know about the company when answering questions.  When discussing your career accomplishments match them to what the company is looking for. Use examples from your research when answering questions, “I noticed that when you implemented a new software system last year, your customer satisfaction ratings improved dramatically. I am well versed in the latest technologies from my experience with developing software at ABC, and appreciate a company who strives to be a leader in its industry.” 

Follow UpAlways follow-up with a thank you note reiterating your interest in the position. You can also include any details you may have forgotten to mention during your interview. If you interview with multiple people send each one a personal thank you note. Send your thank you note (email is fine) within 24 hours of your interview.

I really hope this helps, good luck, babe! (source)

Hey there! This a really personal thing and is different for everyone, there really isn’t any “right” or “wrong” time, it’s just whenever you’re ready. First off I think you should know if you’re in love with them, here is a wiki article that may help with that, then it’s really just up to you! Don’t expect them to say it back, of course it’s likely that they will, but they don’t have to and make it clear that they don’t have to feel pressured about that. There’s nothing wrong with telling them how you feel, and either way I’m sure it will make them ecstatic, so go for it! I know it can be scary but it’s also happy and exciting, so embrace those feelings above all. Good luck, babe!

Hey there! As you can see, we did get this message. :) Unfortunately I do know tumblr can be really bad about eating asks sometimes, but not this one! I hope this helps, babe!

Hey there! Either of those things are possible but it totally sound like you could be gray-romantic to me, or maybe even demiromantic? Which could be classified as another form of gray-romantic in which you do not experience romantic attraction unless you have a strong emotional bond with someone first.

16 is still young and you have plenty of time to find someone you’re romantically attracted to if that’s what you want! Sexual and romantic orientations are fluid and you don’t have to fit any one perfectly, if you feel like you best identify as something and want to use that, then go for it!

There’s nothing wrong with how you feel and it’s great to be able to acknowledge and embrace that. Don’t let your friends talking about guys and such bother you, that’s great for them, but you can take this time to think about other things, thankfully life doesn’t revolve purely around relationships. I really hope this helps, babe! Good luck!

Hey there! I’m really glad that I was able to help! I completely understand how it could be a little hurtful that he hasn’t followed back, but it’s very unlikely that he meant it personally or had a negative reason not to. Some people just don’t follow a lot of people back, I follow almost exclusively close friends and popular people aside from a few exceptions on my instagram.

He very well may still follow you back soon, so I would give it some time, maybe even like a couple of his pictures if you want so that there’s a better chance of him noticing you? Otherwise, as I said before, it really isn’t that big of a deal! Whether you unfollow him or not is up to you and I don’t really think it makes a difference, it just depends on if you actually want to follow him or not.

If you have any of his other social media you could try adding him on facebook maybe? That is a lot more personal and interactive than something like instagram in my opinion. I hope this helps, babe!

Hey there! I am going to put together a few ways that I think are helpful when trying to make money as a teenager. These are just the one’s I think are best and you can find these as well as more information and other ideas here!

Babysit, walk dogs, wash cars, or even record videos and put them online, with the right partnership company, there is a lot of money in it. Or mow lawns for your neighbors. You can make a lot of money, but it’s hard work and could take up much of the weekend. If you get distracted or depressed, remind yourself that your hard work will lead to very real results. 

Go to every house in a good sized neighborhood charging 10-20 dollars per driveway, or 30 dollars a week for shoveling the snow. (Charge extra when shoveling snow that has been driven on, which is packed down and very hard to remove.) Do this every time it snows. Someone may pay you in advance for a month if they know you, or if they like your work! 

Negotiate fees with your parents for extra chores around the house. Try to pick things they might hire a professional to do, like cleaning the toilets, and charge them half price. Ask your parents if you can clean the house each week. Do your laundry and the dishes. 

Run errands for an elderly person. Get groceries, do heavy lifting, troubleshoot the computer, or do any other tasks they might have trouble with. Try to have a good relationship with the person; remember that they might be lonely and probably enjoy spending time around younger people such as friends. (It makes them feel younger.) The better they feel around you, the more they’ll be likely to give you for your services. 

On the day before trash pickup, hit up all the houses on your street and ask for a dollar from each house to take all the bins out to the curb. (Don’t ask for any more than this; it’s a super simple job, so you have to maintain a reasonable cost-to-laziness ratio to get anyone interested.) If it works on even twenty houses, that’s twenty bucks for almost no work. 

Car washing and detailing is another great money-making idea. This is done most easily with several people: one person rinses and scrubs, one does windows, two detail the inside. Remember to thoroughly vacuum the inside, hit the wheels with wheel wax, rub the inside with vinyl scrub (if the surface is vinyl), and do a thorough job. Remember, if people don’t like your work, they can probably go to a professional and get the job done cheaper. Keep in mind who you’re competing against. 

Sell items at a yard sale. Even if you don’t think you have anything lying around that anyone will want, you’d be surprised by how quickly a lot of little sales can add up. Empty out your closet, attic, or basement and gather together everything you don’t want. Put all the small-ticket items into a group to be sold at a yard sale, which you can advertise with street signs and Craigslist. (Often, clothes in nice condition will sell at a yard sale. Worthless clothes, especially simple tees, can be cleaned and sold in bundles as shop rags.) 

If you find any big-ticket items, sell them individually through the classifieds and/or Craigslist to attract someone who’s specifically looking for that item; they will be willing to pay a fair price for it (compared to people at yard sales who are usually looking for cheap deals and might try to haggle your nice item way down). Again, make sure to talk about Craigslist-transaction safety with your parents beforehand or, better yet, have your parents present wherever the sale takes place. 

Make crafts to sell. One friendship bracelet, bag of paper beads, or whale made from a plastic straw won’t do much to your piggy bank, but fifty of them sure will (and each one will be faster and easier to make than the last). Since you probably aren’t allowed to sell on campus or in most public places, make a nice collection of these items and include them in your yard sale or, if they’re unique, post them on a craft site like Etsy. 

Save as much as possible. Remember, a penny saved is a penny earned. Cut down on unnecessary spending, and you will have more money as a result. No one ever regrets having saved money. Balance out your immediate needs with longer-term goals. 

Save for something. If you give yourself something to save for, this will help keep you motivated. You can save for a new Playstation or you can save for something like a cool community college course you want to take. Whatever motivates you to save, save for that! 

I really hope this helps, and good luck!

Hey there! I don’t think it would be weird at all. I personally follow all kinds of people who I know of that don’t know me, and it’s never been weird when I’ve seen them in person. I also have plenty of people who know me that I don’t really know who follow me and whether I follow back or not I never think anything of it or them. And honestly I have become closer to people simply from randomly following them on instagram, and it could make him notice you if he doesn’t really know you exist. So I say go for it! If he doesn’t follow back or anything, then it’s really not that big of a deal. And if he does, then it could be an opportunity to further things, you never know. You have nothing to lose. I hope this helps, babe!
