advice

i am going spray tanning at a place with my friend....not the kind that you do at home kinda stuff... any tips? i dont want to and up being orange. what do u do? i would like to know asap if that is possible!!!

thanks!!

Before your tan:

Avoid oil-based products.
Exfoliate! (very important)
Moisturize

Pay special attention to elbows and knees when exfoliating, because those areas might not tan evenly and look dirty if you don't.

^go there to find out if there is mystic tanning near you. There are other spray tan options, however, so if your location isn't included, that doesn't mean you're out of luck.


Now a lot of my friends get spray tans. I think they all look fake and gross because they usually end up streaking on their necks and it looks dirty. My advice- Get a spray tan when you don't have anything important to do for a week. Even better if you could do it when you didn't have school. That way, if it turns out bad, no one would know =)

Good luck, I hope it turns out.

why does putting your hair up help your hair grow faster? is this even true???

No it doesn't help. If anything, it hurts. The ponytail holder pulls at the hairs, causing them to break off.

Now, you can't really do anything to help your hair grow. You can, however, prevent damage and breakage to make your hair LOOK healthier and longer. Such as avoiding ponytails, Taking vitamins, not brushing your hair very often, things like that.

Ok..so this guy im talking to is too romantic for me. Like..hes just feminine i could say..he says overly nice things to me..and he just doesnt seem very down to earth and just fun. Everyone thinks im weird because truth is..i dont like the romantic type..i like the fun..outgoing..dont give a crap type. I guess its a bad thing. Am i weird?

I am the same way sort of. I appreciate a little romance, but I prefer laid back and not overly sensitive as well. Everyone has different taste, neither is bad or good. You aren't weird at all.

I was fingerin myself the other day nd i have reeli long fingernails. and i accidentally cut myself way up my vagina. it hurts leik hell! i cant even sit down. i keep bleeding and bleeding. i cant put a tamponm in cause it makes the cut biggah nd i dont have pads.
WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!?!?!?!?

At least call the doctors office and ask what you should do. They will tell you if it is necessary for you to come in and get it checked out or not.


And probably clip your fingernails next time =)

Today, i noticed that on of my friends (& she is a girl) has really long hair under her arm pits. It's super gross. Now I can't look at her w/o thinking of the hair. I dont want to be rude. What should i do?

Really, it's her choice whether she shaves it or not. But If it grosses you out that much, just ask her why she doesn't shave. Don't make it too serious, just a simple question. Then maybe once she knows that people notice it, she will shave it.

Ok. So, i'm 14/f. and this is kinda a long story, i'll try to make it as short as i can. so when my mom was 18 (she is 37 now) she had a baby. She didn't mean to or anything, but its just one of those kinda things that happend. She knew that she couldn't take care of her, so she gave her to a family that couldn't have a baby. So yeah, my mom told me about all of this when i was about 10 i think, and now i'm 14, obviously. lol. anyways, the agentcy (sp) that my mom went through to give her baby to another family had some rules. and one of them was that my mom and her baby, Becky, couldn't meet until Becky was 18, and until she was ready. Well just the other day they got to talk for the first time over the fone cause Becky is 20 or somethin now. well, she told my mom that she wanted to talk to me sometime, and that she really wanted to be like a sister to me. but i'm not really sure if i'm ready to just let my "sister" come into my life. i mean, one day she talkes to my mom and she just comes into the family? they haven't even met yet! and now my mom is talking about how she could come on vacation in the summer, and how Becky and i could go shopping together and stuff like that. and i'm just like wth? and Becky told my mom that she wanted to talk to me over the fone sometime, but what the heck do i talk to her about? am i blowing this way out of proportion, or not? idk what to do or think. help!! thanx!!

You know, I understand your uneasiness about this situation. It all seems weird and things are happening so fast. But, I think if you let it, it could be a wonderful blessing to have this woman in your life. I think you should talk to her. Start out just being friends. Don't feel pressured to love her right away. Slowly get to know her. You can even tell her that this is weird for you, I bet she would understand. Take things slow, and it will all fall into place. Just keep communicating with your mom and with Becky, because if you don't tell them what is going on with you, they will assume everything is great, even if it's not. So good luck, I really hope everything works out!

i have curly hair and i straighen it almost everyday if not everyother day. i dont like it curly. but the problem is because i straighten it so much i get a lot of dead ends and split ends so i have to get a hair cut. right now i have a lot but iv been using shampoo and conditioner thats soposed to put back together split ends and i guess its kind of working. but i want loong hair so i dont want to cut it unil it grows really long. what can i put in my hair that wont give me dead ends and/or something that will make my hair grow faster?

thankss

Just have the ends trimmed. Since they are damaged, they will end up breaking off anyways, it'll just look nicer if you cut them off. Now, I would suggest you think about getting your hair chemically straightened. It's like the opposite of a perm, that way you won't damage your hair by straightening it everyday. If you don't want to do that, think about getting Shampoo/conditioner and a serum or spray that is made for keeping your hair straight. Also, you NEED a heat protecting spray to put on your hair before you straighten it. It will prevent a lot of that damage.

Here are some links to products you should check out.

these boys in my grade are really jerky and really hurt my feelings. It makes me very upset! I don't know what to do anytime they get the chance to insult me they DO. I ask them nicley to stop and theyu say no. I've told adult sand they talked to them but then it gets bad again. So NOTHING at this point is working. ANy advice? thanks=]

Seriously. Ignore them. Act like it doesn't bother you. They mess with you just to see your reaction, and once you stop giving one, they will get bored and stop. Now, don't just ignore them for a week and then stop, because it may not work right away. Give it time, and they will stop =)

so i went to the doctor today cause i had a really bad sore throat. they did a blood test on me and they said i have mono. I know what it is... but my question is

should i still go to school??

my cousin said his friend had mono and he had to stay out of school for a month!

another question is that I play volleyball... well we have a big tournament coming up and i'm the setter on our team. we have another setter, so that not the problem. the only problem is that i really really want to play.... should i still go to the tournament, but not play??
or should i just stay home?

thanks!

PS: if you have any other advice about mono, please tell!!!

Stay home. You will only get worse if you don't allow yourself time to heal. Now, everyone that I know that has had mono was too weak to even eat, let alone go to school, so prepare yourself, because you might get worse. Follow all of the doctors advice that he gave you, get tons of rest and drink lots of water.

Good luck =)

Ok, i really need your help figuring out which guy i should pursue. Their is this one guy who is brazilian and really cute, kind but has this other girl who totally flirts with him all the time and he flirts back but he flirts with me too but i dont know if he is really into me or not. Then their is this guy who is on the wrestling team and also cute but his exgirlfriends are one of my really good friends. He totally flirts with me and i flirt back but i have my best friend who flirts with him also and she said that she thinks he likes her but i dont think it would work out. I really like both of them but they both have something about them that makes it hard for me to pursue them. PLEASE HELP major advice is necessary!!!!

I'd say go for the brazilian guy. You said he has another girl he flirts with, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything because you have another guy you flirt with! So look at it that way. Plus, you don't want to cause any trouble between you and your friends, a guy isn't worth that, trust me. So just keep flirting with the first guy, drop hints to let him know you're interested and see what happens! If you are brave, come out and tell him. =)

What Perfume should i use? i cant find any that stays on.. or smells really good. PLEASE HELP, thank you so much. :]

How long your perfume stays on depends on the strength of the scent you buy.

Perfume is the strongest
Eau De Parfum is next
Then Eau De Toilette
Then Eau De Cologne
Eau De Fraiche or Splash Cologne is the weakest.

It should say right on the package which level it is. If you can't find it, ask the sales lady at the perfume counter.

I am currently wearing Princess by Vera Wang. I get complimented daily for this scent.

I also recommend Amor Amor by Cacharel. I got tons of compliments on that scent as well. And A Touch of Sun by Lacoste is another favorite.

If you are looking for something lighter, get a body spray that you like. My favorite is Romantic Wish from Victorias Secret, or Midnight Pomegranate from Bath and Body Works.

for my poms tryouts, the kick line song is some song by red hot chili peppers. but the girl teaching it to us forgot the title. i know it is like impossible for any of you to tell me what that song is, but im pretty sure its somewhat new (like probably their most recent album). anyone know of a song that is fast paced that would maybe match the tempo of a kickline? please just tell me any songs you think would work! thanks.

Imeem.com. Go there and search for Red Hot Chili Peppers. There, you can listen to pretty much any of their songs, and it should help you figure it out. =)

can someone please tell me about ruehl? is it just like abercrombie? generally how much are their shirts and jeans? i went to there website online but there are no clothes to see up there so i was wondering if anyone knew of a site where i could look at there lcothes

RUEHL No.925 (or simply RUEHL) is the latest concept in a chain of brands developed by American retailer Abercrombie & Fitch. Instead of being outdoors in nature like Abercrombie, RUEHL has a metropolitan setting. RUEHL stores are made to look and feel like New York. The company introduced RUEHL as a means of retaining its customer basis to a post-collegiate customer, targeting the ages of 22 through 35. The company produces casual apparel designed with its concept of an understated, young West Village New Yorker in mind.

The official mascot of RUEHL is a French bull dog by the name of "Trubble". Trouble in establishing a unique and visually appealing logo has been the cause of the evolving and ever-changing brand element of RUEHL. Unlike its sister brands Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister, with the standing moose and the flying seagull (respectively), RUEHL is currently using their name on most of their products, rather than a symbol; although their collection of solid polos have solely the bulldog on them. RUEHL is pronounced "Rull".

That's the only place I could find pictures of their clothing
