advice

Ok I have a few questions..#1 summers coming up and I want to get tan, really tan. Does Mystic Tan work? How long does it last? #2 I just got some dream matte mousse foundation..how do I apply it? Does it need powder or anything? #3 I want to get my eyebrows waxed but I already pluck them..should I let them grow out before i get them waxed? Thanks!

umm, about the eyebrows. usually if you just go to the salon the first time they will fix them for you. my lady tells me not to pluck inbetween times because i have a tendancy to mess it up. just go in and the willl form them for you. its usually not very expensive either & only hurts the first couple times.

Im babysitting a 4 yr old boy from 7:30am to 4:30pm and i need some ideas of things to do. I dont have a liscense so i cant drive anywhere and i live in maine.

If your babysitting at his house he will probably have a lot of toys and such to play with. You can watch a movie, do a puzzle, play outside (go for a walk or play with a ball). Also things like reading a book to him or coloring are good!

expoliate before you do it. and make sure your in good light where you can see when you apply it. wear gloves so your palms dont turn orange.

i have no idea what im going to do with her. do you have any ideas what we could do? also how am i supposed to get her in bed? i have only babysat once..and that was with my sister. im going to babysit from 7 to 11. what time do you think she should go to bed? i just really need some ideas on what we could do. and do you have any tips? also...how much do you think ill get payed for 4 hours?

the parents will most likely give you a bedtime for her. if not, just when she gets tired. also, just play games with her. watch a movie or play outside. read a book or do a puzzle. im sure she will have a lot of toys and such to play with.

Just as a poll what do you guys think about a 7th grader waering thongs, not me just thta my bff just starting wearing thme nad ithink there disgusting, so a qucik answer is all i ask of yes i think ther gross or no i love em and there approprate 4 13 year olds


Thnaks

i think its a personal descision to be made by the person. some 7th graders could be extremely mature but however, most arent. if they are showing it to people and being inappropriate then i think its a definate no but if they wear them just because thats what they like then its okay.

my dog is a 7 month old schnauzer, and he has been throwing up! he also has really bad hip problems. my dad keeps saying he will die really early. i am crying just typing this up. i dont want my puppie to die! does anyone have any helpful tips on how to cure throwing up? my mom said she gave him peptobismol... but he just threw up in my room so i dont know what to do! please help me fast!
i rate all fives!

get your dog to the vet or local animal hospitol. peptobismol can be helpful but with dogs its also extremely easy for them to 'overdose' on something like that. id say your best bet is to take him to the vet. make sure he is getting enough water also!

My best mate has a huge crush on this guy and has had done for nearly 2 years, its making her depressed because he doesnt like her but she cant stop fancying him. How can i help her?

Be there for her. Talk to her and hang out and try to help her keep her mind off of him. Also just let her know that there are plenty of other guys and this one dude is not worth wasting her time. I mean, its okay to have hopes and crushes but you have to be reasonable inorder to keep yourself from getting hurt.

Just talk to him. Show him that you are interested. Most importantly laugh and have fun - even if he turns out to be a jerk, make sure you have fun!

Most of the time my hair is frizzy and not straight. I've tried a lot of methods and my hair is still going to be frizzy. what is the best way to straighten hair?

good shampoo (matrix or redken) and a nice flat iron. also the right hair cut can make the difference!

do foster homes keep brothers and sisters together

Generally it just depends on the agency and your situation. Most foster families dont take in more then three kids so its sometimes hard to keep kids together.

okay, i got this amazing babysitting offer!
*well the only thing is i'm kinda shy around little kids like 5,6,7 even 8!
And the girl is 7!
How can i over come me being shy?

Find something you both have in common. Talk to her about her interests and see what she likes. Play games with her and find stuff she likes. Let her know that you can be her friend :)

It is always a competition between my best friend and I for who can get a better tan over the course of the summer. We do it naturally by laying outside instead of fake baking. We don't tan ecessivley or anything, but lately I've been wondering about skin cancer and all that. My mom told me to use some sun tan lotion to block the violent rays of the sun..but will that stop me from getting a good tan? Thx

This will not stop you from getting a tan. It will actually help protect you and make your tan last longer. After tanning make sure you apply aloe or some kind of lotion to keep your skin moisterized - this will keep your tan longer. There are also special sunscreens made for tanning outside.

I was just watching the Britney & Kevin: Chaotic series and I saw that while they were doing Britney's makeup, they used some kind of concealer stick pencil thing to cover up her mole...I was wondering if anyone knew what it was called and where I can get it? -thanks

Try MAC, they have great makeup & make-up artists to help and show you how to better apply your makeup.

I recently just found out that I have scoliosis. I have to get a brace and was fitted today for it. I'm going to have to wear it a minimum of 16 hours a day. I was wondering if there is any one who can tell me what it was like having a back brace and give me advice on when to wear it, what to do in the summer, and things like that. Thank you very much.

Definatly wear it at night, other then that just during the day whenever you feel comftorable having it on. Its nothing to be ashamed of - and after all this is your health so you should take it seriously :)

anyone know a place to where you can get free ringtones for your cell?

some cell phones you are able to record sounds (so record songs or things you like) and make them your ringtones. thats free :) other then that id try searching the internet for websites. you might find something. but they arent really that exspensive!

what are the babysitting costs? what should i charge? thank you..

it really depends how many kids and their ages. i usually charge about 3-5 dollars an hour. some parents like to pay just a lump & not by the hour. i have one family that just pays me $40 dollars whenever i come while others will pay by the hour. most parents are flexible and will ask you because most dont know either. just keep your prices reasonable. if they are too high most parents wont ask you to babysit again.
