I have very light skin, and I do NOT tan at all. It really sucks but I want to know what kind of bathing suit would look good on someone with really light skin. Like what color and what kind of bathing suit. Thanks :) (link)
Stay away from light color suits. No whites, yellows, light pinks, etc. I get darker colors and they look better on me. Brown especially...plus, brown binkinis are sexy. Navy is good too, as is black. Again, just stay away from light colors.

Yeah I just read the other answers...please DONT listen to them. WHITE LOOKS HORRIBLE ON PALE PEOPLE!! You don't want to look like you match your white swim suit. Plus, it's not always about looking tanner, it's about looking better.


a lot of the jeans that i own will fit and be tight when i first put them on, but as the day goes on they get all stretched out and it is so annoying. sometimes they get so stretched out that they get all baggy in but and are so big in the waist. i know it is normal for jeans to stretch a little, but does anybody know anything i can do to prevent them from stretching soo much to the point that they are too big? thanks! (link)
GuuRRR I hate that!! lol. American Eagle jeans do that and it pisses me off because when you try them on in the store they fit. Then, by the end of the first day you wear them, theyre huge. And yeah, after you get them outta the dryer they fit good, then the same thing happens.


But, obviously, you already know that. So, here's what you do: buy a smaller size. They'll feel tight when you first put them on but after like half an hour, they'll fit right. Also, if you get the smaller size, wash them but don't put them in the dryer. Let them hang dry over your bathtub or something. That way, they'll always fit right (won't be super tight right when you put them on).


So yeah, buy a smaller size.


EDIT**// aww sorry, I wish I knew that before I answered. Try kid sizes maybe? Abercombie kids.


okay so .. there was a lil chance i could of been pregant so i took plan b pills . i wund up getting my period about a week earlier than i should and a week after i had sex and took the pills, its never on a certain time though. i get it all differetn dates. so when i got it it wasnt light, but it wasnt as heavy as it was usually . do u think anything is wrong, or im just over reacting and worrying to much? (link)
nothing to worry about because your period is reacting differently to the new pills you took, because they weredifferent. as long as you get your period youll be totally fine!


why is this camera so cheap?

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5156026 (link)
like everyone has said, its a 3 mega pixel which isnt that great, and the zoom isnt amazing either

but its a cute camera and for a good price. event though its not the best, for the price its a nice camera.

it depends on what you want the camera for. if you want it just to take pics of your friends, then you could deffinantly get it, but if yuour serious about photography dont get it

i mean its only 50 dollars, not that much for a camera and this one isnt like THAT bad, but you could deffinantly find better ones


please don't ONLY send me to a site if you want to give me a site. like find the best ones.

i am looking for a quote for my profile about like, how could i have been so stupid to have thought that this girl / these girls were truly my friends? anything about like friendship.

thanks! (link)
this is the best. like seriously the best

http://search.xanga.com/searchgroups.aspx?q=aim%20profile%20fades%20quotes

basically it already comes with the codes so all nyou do it copy and paste it and it comes up with an already colored and fonted fade quote, so its really appealing to the eye to!

hope you liiike it


Is it illegal like if say theres a couple and the girl sends the guy nude pics and there under the age of 18? Cause my friend gets them alot just from his girlfriends and i was curious?? (link)
someone told me you could get fined for even looking at them/viewing them, even if it was an accident. however, i dont know if thats true but if its under the age of 18, i would tell those girls to stop because they can get in serius trouble


does waxing hurt? would it hurt if you waxed under your arms? i've never waxed anywhere before so are there any brands out there that would make waxing hurt less? (link)
none will hurt less theyre all about the same but you can buy some oils to ease it a bit, but im not sure if they always work
if your only gonna do your underarmss, then you could pluck it maybe, because its a small space and then the pain wont be all at once, it will be less and seperated
i wax everything so you can just ask me any more info, but all brands are about the same
but beginning by plucking is what i did because after a few times, it begins to hurt less.
but if you wanna get it waxed all at once, it will feel like people are pinching you 100 times in a square inch, so if your gonna wax go to a salon! but otherwise, just try plucking maybe i think its better but everyone has their own opinions. you might just wanna get it over with!

welllll good luck and if you need any more advice id be so happy to help =]


Ok well my lips are soooo chapped and it bugs me more than being on my period. Don't ask. Anyone know how to get them to be not chapped fast??? thanks! (link)
yeaaa like the 2 people said carmex is great, and i used to totally love it, but now i LOVVVVVVVE vasoline! its so amazing, and cheap for a lot. its just as good as carmex, but i even think its better..! plus it doesnt hurt that a lot of celebs like it like tyra banks haha
but seriously vasoline is amaziing in the morning i wake up with chapped lips and 20 minutes late theyre perfectly smoooooth. seriously its just so great


can someone give me hairstyles that i could do to really bring out my highlights? please and thank you. (link)
hey

- a quiff.
http://www.virtualhaircare.com/virtual%20salon/blow%20and%20style/hairup_quiff.html
it would really bring out your colors cause it pops out like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/slink/images/146x146/hb/partyhair-long_1.jpg

- a french braid.
it will look like your hightlights are twisted together & it will look really good.

I'm pretty skinny but my stomach isn't like flat. It kind of has like has a part that sticks out. I'm not so sure how to explain it.

What could I do to make my stomach flat.
Any Exercises and stuff that will help?

Thanks :) (link)
hey

a really effective way to make your stomach flat is by stretching your whole body, then doing 100+ crunches / sit - ups.

the classic excercises work. believe me. if you do 100 a day for 2 weeks, or 200 a day for one week, you will notice that it will be flatter.

oh & drink lots of water & eat healthy foods. cause eating a cheeseburger & fries can make it bulge out.

& i know what you mean. like when you bend your back back a little, & the area around your belly button kinda sticks out? yeah. crunches, baby.


Please help. I am a 13 year old girl. I am pretty small (5 ft, 87 pounds). I want to know when I will get my period. I have had pubic hair for like a couple years and I have had discharge for probably a year. I feel so left out because all my friends have had there period and I have heard that your breasts get bigger when you get your period. I am so insecure at this stage of my life and I do not know what to do!! HELP! Thanks (link)
hey

omg you are so luck you dont have it.. trust me. you really dont want to get your period. you should be really happy cause getting your period truly is NOT fun. with constantly having to change your tampon / pad, PMS, sores, etc. it's just not something that's fun to live with.

you are still growing & you will realize that when you get a growth spurt, maybe a couple of inches, you might get your period then. or if you notice your breasts get bigger. press on the center of your nipple. if you are days away from your period, it will hurt / feel sore. so that's a sign.

you will get it eventually in a few years or even months. just wait it out & PLEASE believe me when i say ENJOY YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOU GET YOUR PERIOD.

haha i know you feel insecure & left out, but it's truly fine. there is nothing wrong with you - lots of girls don't get their period until they are like, 16! so you still have lots of time.


This weekend I am going to the movies with my boyfriend, but technically this is our first date. Any ideas of what I should wear?? I want it to be cute but hot at the same time, without being trashy.

Thanks (link)
hey

well i dont know what the weather will be like cause i dont know where you are located, but wear a pair of jeans & a cute shirt. like any type of shirt. wear your hair neatly & dont put too much funky make - up on. look natural. & accessorize with headbands, jewelery, etc.

my suggestion? a pair of regular jeans, not too tight, with a cute hollister / abercrombie tank top. like polka dots or stripes or some sort of pattern. & to finish it off, either a cropped sweater / CUTE hoodie [ not a sweatshirt ] & flip flops / flats.

just pair up simple with not so simple. jeans = simple. cute, polka dot / striped tank to = not so simple.

& don't wear short with short. like no mini skirt & tank top. wear either long with long or long with short [ jeans = long, tank top = short ]. if you wear short with short, it might be a little too flashy.

just think simple with make - up & hair. like maybe for make - up, just a little mascara & lip gloss. not over the top eye shadow, etc. & hair, just make it wavy & blow dry it to keep the volume. that would look adorrrrable. & have funn!


I am a 15 year old girl. I have had the same boyfriend for 2 years. He is beginning to want to take are relationship farther and by that I mean he wants to have sex. I would like to try it but I am so scared of getting naked. I am a really skinny girl so I am not afraid about that, but I have small breasts and I am afraid he will not love me anymore if he sees me naked. I know this sounds stupid but it is true. (link)
hey

look, it seems like you guys really like each other. if he really means it, then he won't care how big your breasts are.

he loves you now & he will continue to love you. if, for some reason, things aren't the same after you show him your breasts, he is shallow & only cares about your physical appearance.

breast size doesn't matter - he will continue the relationship, believe me. & if he doesn't, he is not worth your time anyway.

you should be proud & confident of who you are & what you look like. breasts should not affect that. look in the mirror & be happy with your body.

don't be afraid to get naked. you will be embarassed at first, but he won't care about your breasts if he really loves you.


I use acne medication occasionally like the pads and somtimes i wipe my hair by accident and i've notcied where i wipe my hair it's been becoming lighter. Is this because of the wipes? (link)
Yeah, it has benzoyl in it that can bleach your hair out. You can soak your hair in coffee to make it get back to a darker color. Just make sure you pull your hair back when you use the pads though.


hey!! ok, well i'm 14/f. and i just started having really dry spots on my face. the skin is pealing a little, and the spots hurt. i don't have any acne or pimples or anything (right now) but sometimes i get a pimple or to. but anyways, what is some good mousterizer (sp?) that i can put on my face to make my skin soft and smooth? please help!! i really need it! thanks !!!! (link)
hey

well, the body shop has ALL sorts of great lotions that smell great & work really well.

my personal favorite is from bath & body works - pleasures sweet pea body lotion. it's really good for your whole body or just your face.

make sure you moisturize your face before you apply make-up. that way it won't cause your skin to peal as much if you apply a lot of concealer in one spot :]

i hope i helped!


How do you get rid of those black rings on your eyes like when you don't get enough sleep and they make you look miserable. Whats a good way to get rid of them... (link)
hey

well it all depends on how you got them. i have mine from heredity, & i use a special cream for it.

so if you first find out how you got them, it will be a lot easier for you to find a solution.

try putting cucumber juice on them - if they are light dark circles ... i know that sounds weird but if they're not very very dark, they'll go away like that.

you can always go to a specialized doctor & buy a cream for it.

or, simply drink a lot of water & get a good night's rest!

they are caused from the leakage of capillaries ... they leak blood & it turns up like a bruised, blue-ish color.


basically every three weeks i get little drops of blood in my undies - i think its blood at least but my discharge isnt discouloured and i was wondering (because its happened for about 2mnths now)if its the start up to my "big first" period where i have a big flow or something (link)
edit- you may not realize this, but 4's bring down our ratings alot. now i have a bad rating :( i tried to answer!



thats what i had when i first had my period. it was brown stuff for like a day or two, every other couple of weeks. this went on for a few months. then it got heavyyy. just be prepared! :]


Ok well I was just playing on the computer when all of a sudden my computer screen shut off.

I tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't work. I sticked all the plugs on, turned on the cmputer, and it still didn't work.

Is it possible that it's like a light bulb where it can burn out?

right now i'm using my brother's computer screen. We tried to plug my computer screen on his computer but it didn't even work. Advice? (link)
Computer screens (moniters) can just die if they are too old. The bulb probably did blow out. Time to get a new one! There's no way to fix it, sorry. :(


each year for easter my family gets together and has an egg drop contest. for those who don't know what an egg drop contest is, it's where you make kindof an apparatus for a raw egg so that it doesn't crack when thrown off a building. in the past years i haven't been too lucky with the contest and i was wondering what may be some good suggestions for it?

**please nothing about peanut butter, packing peanuts, jello, or balloons. i've tried all of these and they've failed me in the past (link)
i had to do this in third grade.....get an empty penaut butter jar and fill it half way up with cotton,then put the egg in the jar and fill the rest with cotton.(p.s. dont use a glass jar!!!lol) and then tie a parachute thing to it.the egg wont break if u do it right(u probably will tho! ;) )


what's the best shampoo and conditioner in your opinion? (link)
i like herbal essences the orange ones.it smells really good.


hope i helped :D
