For anyone, whose age ends in teen, Natasha offers these tips for 2008:

If you have a love life, evaluate it. Measure how happy you are and if your special person is good enough for you. Someone who is respectful, fun and thoughtful can make a big difference in your life. And if you add a dose of cute, well that counts a lot too.


Love life or not, Natasha recommends these great, safe places to meet people:


-- Concerts: Teens love them and you can meet people with similar
interests and tastes in music.

-- Paint ball fields and golf courses -- this is where the guys hang out.

-- Search Facebook or MySpace for cute
profile pictures of friends or people you just met.



Save a life. Sounds dramatic, yet bringing home an animal from your local shelter can help families bond and add a new dimension to your life.


Have a weekly dinner with your high school friends, same day, same time each week. Wednesdays are good because it makes the school week go quicker and weekends don't seem so far away.


Love your body. Instead of dieting, try simple things to feel better about yourself.


"When you are 40, you will see pictures of yourself now and be saying -- Gosh! I was hot! I cannot believe I was self-critical, when I was so beautiful," says Natasha.


Try these things to feel good about yourself:

-- Take a walk to a friends' house or just walk around your block.

-- Stop drinking soda. Have frozen yogurt instead of ice cream and go
without toppings.

-- Once a day have a piece of fruit.

-- Once a week, eat anything you want, all day long. If you are good all
week, your body won't reflect one bad day of eating junk.



"Dream a little," she says. "You never know where you can see your favorite star and sometimes, just keeping an eye out really helps. I am always looking for Chace Crawford, Chuck Wicks or any of the Jonas Brothers!! Often you see people in the most unexpected places."
