Open Question: Help with new tragus piercing.?

February 3, 2012 – 5:17 am

I just got my tragus pierced a couple days ago and after I got it done it was fine. It didn't hurt at all, and was just a little tender when I bumped it or something. Today it is way more sore. Is this normal? I have been cleaning it with H2Ocean in the morning, after work and before bed. Today I also did a sea salt soak and put a little tea tree oil on it. Any tips on what to do? Also when you got it pierced what type of jewelry did they use? On mine they used a 20g nose ring. Is that typical? It is kind of coming out not a lot and not the whole way but like a half centimeter, I was trying to push it back in and I am thinking that's how it got irritated. Any tips on how to clean it and help it heal good? Any tips would be amazing!!! Thank you for your help!!!

Open Question: What should I give my sister for her birthday? She has everything already!?

February 3, 2012 – 5:17 am

My sister's birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to give her, since she has an abundance of clothes, perfumes, jewelry, shoes and everything else..

I've been living with her and her husband for the past 6 months, so I want to give her something nice...

Any ideas?

Gift cards are out of the question =]
We were planning on having some family over for a surprise party of some sort...So no need to bake really...

I need a gift that will last..
She doesn't like stuffed animals..

She hates flowers..

She's very picky.

Open Question: valentines day for her? (girls help)?

February 3, 2012 – 5:17 am

I'm not sure what type of gift I should get her.
i was set on getting herself something which she wants(it's this lip gloss sort of thing) in addition to some other stuff (flowers and what not). but I'm sure she could/will get it for herself if i don't get it for her.
however recently I've thought of getting her something she wouldn't buy for herself, like some heart shaped jewellery etc.
would you rather have your boyfriend buy you something you would buy yourself, or something that you wouldn't (heart shaped jewellery)
i'm sure every girl wants jewllery from her boyfriend, but i'm not sure which one she would appreciate more. the fact that i listened or the fact that she'll remember me every time she wears it.
