What looks more professional - A (womens) satchel or tote bag?

Lina

Im debating whether I should go for

a black satchel bag: http://www.friendsforleather.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/1000x1000/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/8/5/85_black.jpg
or a black tote bag: http://www.cheappradaoutletonline.com/images/abc-classic-prada-black-tote-bags.jpg
(talking only about the style, not the brand)

Its for everyday wear. I prefer to dress professional (business casual like slacks, ballet flats, button down shirt and blazer. Im 24 yrs old student but I jyst prefer to dress this way to campus and everyday wear) and wonder which one would be most formal?

Answer
At my school, we have to follow a business casual dress code! I think they both look nice, but I would choose the black tote. You could fit more things, such as a scarf, flats, lunch, books, pens, tablet, etc.--all while looking polished, stylish, and professional. I bring a tote bag and a lot of girls in my class do, too. (The popular bag of choice has been the Longchamp tote, but I don't really see anything special about it!) Either bag will look professional.

When do large women (over) eat?

lunch bags for girls uk image

The Merovi

I've been on a date with some larger women. They tend to pick at their food and not consume much. I've seen huge women at work eating salads, cucumbers, cottage cheese in the lunch room. They don't become large or maintain a large size by eating salads, cottage cheese, or picking at their food. When do they eat?

If you think this is sexist, when I see large men eating in social environments or at the work lunch room, they eat hefty portions (and not salads). Thus, large food consumption leads to large men.

Answer
They probably eat in secret. Although my Mother is quite large and doesn't eat much. I should know because we hardly ever had food in the house and I was around her nearly all the time as a young kid. Unless she did something I didn't know about.

She enjoyed her beer, so that could have been it. But even before she began drinking a lot she was a UK size 16 (US 12) which isn't HUGE but it's not slim.

I think that she does genuinely have a crappy metabolic rate because I struggle to be as skinny as a lot of other girls and I have her genes, yet I eat around 1,500 cals a day roughly and I have to count it otherwise I do become overweight. I am a UK 10/12 (US 6/8) which is by all means not fat but most girls would be a bag of bones eating what I eat.

*PLEASE HELP* Why can't I control my eating habits at all?

lunch bags for girls uk image

Claudia

I'm a fifteen year old girl.
I guess you could say I was lucky, as I have a naturally curvy figure, quite a big chest area, curvy hips but I go in at the waist, kind of an hourglass. However, the tops of my arms and thighs are ridiculously flabby and although I don't carry any fat around my hips or my butt like most girls, my stomach bulges, actually very far out from my body. It's like a beer belly, even though I don't drink. I'm a UK size 10-12 however tops always seem to cling and my belly is nearly always bulging.

I am a very insecure person, obsessive you could say. I really hate myself, but we won't go into all my psychological issues. the bottom line is, i'm dying for a better figure, a flat tummy, maybe a little gap between my thighs. But as much as I want it, I just can't do it.

I am a very stressed person, I worry and over-think incessantly, and as a result am a very unhappy person, I would say. One thing I find cheers me up, though, is food. I LOVE food. Especially sweet things. I have an absolutely insatiable sweet tooth. If I go one day without one or two sweet, sugary junk food things, I honestly feel like I get withdrawal symptoms; I become tetchy and unhappy, and all I can think about is sweets, chocolate, biscuits, things like that. I am obsessed with trying to better my diet, and I take a packed lunch to school full of nutritional things, fruit salad, nuts, brown bread with peanut butter, that kind of thing. But between meals I screw it all up.

For example, today at school there was a cake sale. I couldn't resist. I bought a brownie AND a slice of sponge cake. I was good for the rest of the day, but by the time I got home I hadn't had anything sugary for hours and I was feeling desperate. I had a Twix, the leftovers of a bag of Haribo, and six Maryland cookies. the problem is, this is becoming a daily routine, instead of an occasional mistake. I feel like I can't go without it. I instantly feel calmer, happier inside, with some junk food coursing through my system. Later on however, it hits me, and I just feel AWFUL. I loathe myself, I tell myself off in the mirror, pinching my belly and sometimes degrading myself to the point of crying, I just feel so disgusting and fat and greedy. But I'll wake up in the morning and the cycle starts again.

I also have no stamina so exercise doesn't even come into it. I want to work out, but I'm just constantly tired. I'm aware I probably have depression, but that's another story. I know I should be going jogging, doing squats and sit ups, but when I know I should I feel weighed down to the ground with this huge sense of foreboding and exhaustion before I've even started.

I'm stuck in a rut and I'm just going to get fatter. Any suggestions or advice would be SO SO SO appreciated. Thank you :-)

Answer
First you have to address your depression. Mental health clinics will see you free of charge without having to get your parent's consent.

Second, you're eating a lot of sugar. Sugar is highly addictive because the rush of glucose, sugar, stimulates the brain's pleasure center. And sugar burns off so quickly you become hungry quickly.

The next time you have an urge to snack have a protein. It burns much slower and is filling. Proteins would be any dairy product without added sugar, meat, and eggs. Over time you'll notice you will eat less. This does not mean you cut all carbohydrates. Just limit them.

how can i stay away from detentions at school ?

lollypops

ive had loads of notes in my planner all ready and about 4 detentions and if i forget my pe kit one more time im going to be getting a senior staff detention for 1 hour after school on friday by the way i go to a all girls school in the UK

Answer
PE kit is easy. Get a school locker and keep your kit in there. When it needs washing take it home, wash and dry it as soon as you get in and put it straight back in your bag then put it in your locker when you get to school. That way your kit is always in school and you can't forget it.

Do homework the day it is set and put it straight in your bag to put in your locker. In fact, the whole key to this is that everything you need for school is either in your bag or your locker. Keep spare pens, lunch money and so on in your locker too.

If you tend to forget homework, do it at school. Instead of going home straight away, spend half an hour or an hour in the library after school getting your homework done. Then (you guessed it) put it in your locker. Make sure you let your parents know your plans in advance and text them when you're leaving school so that they know what time to expect you home. That last bit isn't a kid thing, it is a polite thing - I even tell my son when I'm on the way home, or when I'll be late.

I am reading a book called star girl. Where can i get information about the book?

PiiNk x La

Star girl by Jerry Spinelli
I need to the summary , and the charaters

Answer
BookRags Premium ($$) - "Stargirl"

Includes chapter summaries, character analysis, themes, style, historical context, critical overview (essays), criticism, media adaptations, compare and contrast, topics for further study, and more.


http://www.freebooknotes.com/book.php3?id=3178


Plot Summary

It was the first day of school at Mica High School and the halls are buzzing about the new girl who calls herself Stargirl Caraway. To say she is different is an understatement.

Her clothes are different as are her mannerisms, and she has a pet rat she carries around in a bag that has a picture of a Sunflower on it. Leo Borlock learns about Stargirl from his best friend Kevin Quinlan. During lunch, while Leo and Kevin are sitting together, Stargirl pulls out a Ukulele and begins to strum on it and dance around the lunchroom. Day after day she does this focusing on one particular person to whom she sings Happy Birthday. It is unclear how she knows that someone has a birthday. Hillari Kimble says she thinks Stargirl is a "plant," someone put in the school by the administration to get students interested in school, to create school spirit.

Good luck for the future.

Are there any alternatives to having a screw top bottle.?

WWE Foreve

I recently went to my school and they said that screw top bottles are not allowed. Which most of thermos and bottles have screw tops. Does anyone have any ideas of what I should use instead of screw top bottles. I really like to keep foods hot and drinks cold. I would like it if someone could find bottles or thermoses without screw tops. I would really appreciate that!
Thanks!

Answer
That limits the options quite a bit. Some models I can suggest are:

For FOOD:

Option 1: Zojirushi type thermos bento lunch jars.

http://www.zappos.com/zojirushi-classic-bento-vacuum-lunch-jar-ultra-black?channel=126&si7757425=&mr:referralID=NA&mr:trackingCode=138A9AB8-71EE-DF11-8F9A-001B2163195C

The top 2 inner containers have plastic lids but the bottom one has a screw lid. The screw lid is the smallest container so you may be able to do without.

-- edit: I just realised the middle, large one is also a screw top (only a quarter turn). But you can still look through their range to find a non-screw top combination. --end edit

It does keep food warm/hot but you need to prep them first (putting very hot water in, then removing them before putting your foods that you want to keep hot).

The outer container is double-walled. All these items come in an insulated bag with eating implements (which vary depending on the model you buy). There are different configurations, colors and sizes that you can choose from.

I have two of these (similar to those in the above website but with gold-colored bags) and they do keep food reasonably warm/hot. Zojirushi often change the color scheme and bag designs.

Other versions (targeted at girls/women):
http://www.casa.com/p/zojirushi-mini-bento-stainless-lunch-jar-white-273582


Option 2: Heated thermos (Fuloon thermos lunch jar)

This has a power supply to warm your food at work/school (if you have access to power). I do not have this, so cannot give you an evaluation. It does look very useful though.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fuloon-Stainless-Thermal-Layers-Design/dp/B007PN2Z9E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342339770&sr=8-1


For WATER/DRINKS (non-fizzy):

If you only want them cold, you can get Tupperware tumblers called Handoliers or Thirstbreak Tumblers with plastic lids like this:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords=handolier

http://www.amazon.com/Set-Tupperware-Tumblers-Seals-Colors/dp/B004FDDVZE/ref=sr_1_23?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1342341109&sr=1-23&keywords=tumblers++tupperware

You really need insulation through the use of an insulation bag: keeps the cold and condensation droplets in.

You can also add reuseable ice to your tumbler; these do not dilute your drink and is ... reuseable.

Other accessories: ice pucks.
