My hair has been extra tangled lately. In the morning it takes 10 minutes to brush out my wet hair. Can anyone suggest some products to cure this problem. My first thought was Johnson & Johnson's No More Tangles shampoo, but isn't that for little kids?

haha. I've never tried it, but I'm sure Johnson&Johnson's would probably work. I mean, it's hair... what the hell is the difference?

I have naturally straight hair, but I know that my friend's use John Frieda's Frizz-Ease and it works like magic for them. :)

Also, this might be off subject, but it's really bad to brush your hair when it's wet. lol. Yeah, I know. It adds to dead hairs and split ends! Just some more advice!



GOODLUCK LOVELY!

Im not very positive about myself. If im at the mall with my best friend or something (shes SUPER pretty) and guys are like all over her I feel really bad. I try everything to make myself prettier. I have some acne and im really skinny but not aneroxic. Im going up to west virgina to see this guy next week.. What can I do to make myself more prettier?

Confidence.
I don't read what the other people wrote above me.

K.
About your acne, if you've had acne for quite a while, I would suggest asking your parents to set up and appointment and see if you need any special creams etc.

If that's too much of work, I would suggest Clean & Clear Face Scrub.. but not to much otherwise it will dry out your skin. Also, try Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Clenser, I use it religiously. lol.

Because it's basically "summer" don't forget to constantly lotion up your skin with a SPF of ATLEAST 15 to protect your skin.


If you need fashion advice, like clothes etc, please feel free to contact me.

GOODLUCK!

I'm thinking of applying to LMU for the Fall 2006 and was wondering if any former or current students could let me know what their LMU experience was like.

I'm not a former student, but I had the same situation with other colleges that I was interested in.

If you have "myspace" there are a lot of groups for colleges. I basically just searched for NYU and found an alumni group and just joined it.
I posted a lot of bulletins, and I've gotten so much feedback, that it really helped me.

Also, you can call LMU's facility/ admissions, and ask to find an alumni that lives in your location (like for alumni interviews) and just set up an appointment with them.

If you have any more questions, please ask me. :)
GOODLUCK!

Hi im in highschool and looking for a scholarship program for a medical school, my family makes only 60,000 a year and im afraid that there wont be enough money for colledge! I need a scholarship program, anything is apperciated! thanks!

I don't read the other comments, so yeah.
There are so many scholarships available in the US it's insane.
What I would first do is to check out the local scholarships in your area... your township probably has a lot you can apply for.
Even state, and if you do a simple "Google" search about college scholarship, maybe for your ethnicity, or a special talent you have... you will find dozens.

If you have any more questions, please ask me. :)
GOODLUCK!

in college I want to major in interior decorationg because I think I have a flair in that type of art. for those who don't know that much about it, it's when you help design color schemes, furniture, decorations, paint, etc. for peoples' rooms and stuff. Well I want to know if that's a good paying job and if I'll make enough money to support myself and kids, a house, etc. I'm not trying to be selfish, but I really want to know if it's a good enough job. Thanks.

I don't read the previous comments, but I must say, take my advice. lol.

What a great major.
But the negative part is that it's really hard to break into the industry, and become one of the "elites" and famous names.
So this means you will first get a lot of shitty paying jobs and you have to slowly work yourself up the ladder.
It may be sucky in the beginning, but I'm sure with the enough passion, you will make it.

And maybe, someday, you can come decorate my house? HMMM? lol.

If you have any more questions, please ask me. :)
GOODLUCK!

ok so i'm gonna be a junior next year and i have been thinking about colleges a lot. I really want to go to Tulane but i'm not sure if my grades are good enough. I have a 3.9, but ive only been taking 2 honors and ill be in 3 ap next year and am in french honors society. Ive lettered in xc twice, track once, and swimming once. i dont have many service hours, though. Do you think i have any chance of getting into Tulane? I know its a hard school to get into but i'm not really sure HOW hard...

Personally, disregard the above info.
I'm a Junior too, and the best thing you can do, is to stay focused on everything that you are passionate about (including keeping up your grades).

Most colleges want a well-rounded student and you seem to exemplify that. Sports, academics, community service. But, you say you don't have many hours, I would take this summer, to maybe volunteer at a local hospital, etc.

In addition, many colleges offer "early decision" programs, which basically states, "I want to go to your effing school badly. So if I get accepted, I will go 100%." If Tulane has this acceptance, DO IT!!!!!

Also, for applications, try to see if you can get an interview w/ an alumni or visit the college/take a tour.

All these will show Tulane that you WANT to go there.


If you have any more questions, please ask me. :)
GOODLUCK!

i was wondering what the difference is between a graduate and an undergraduate is. could someone please explain or give me a link to go to. also, when i want to apply for a college, can i do it online or do i have to go to that college. by the way im 14 and i was wondering bcuz college is right around the corner!

Undergraduate is basically first four years of college.

And graduate is when you finish undergrad and you want to continue on your major, like get a doctorate degree.. etc.

i have this friend,we'll call her sandy. Sandy always copys me..she likes my bf..she is wicked mean to me..she brags and brags..she says that shes ugly ONLY so me and my friends tell her that she is not ugly. Im slowly breaking away..i dont want to be her enimy i just dont want her to be my friend...

Oh. I know girls like this.
Basically, if you don't want to be her friend... telling her the truth is the best way to go.
Win-Win situation, she knows the truth, and if she's pissed off, she won't be your friend. lol.


GOODLUCK.

OK so im having a party soon ( a sweet 16) and i realllly need a head count of who can come. normallyy if we were making all the food i wouldnt care ..but its going to be catered so if i tell them 80 are coming and only 30 show up...that wont be good...lots of food will be wasted...and lottss of money.
i hear talk about how everyone is excited to go because there is an after parrty in an indoor pool at this hotel..but im not getting the RSVPS ! I got 25 confirmed so far...between the few who called and the few i asked if they were def coming.
what are some ideas of how to get a headcount! should i pass a paper around saying put ur name here if you plan on coming? somethin...i dont have time in school to ask everyone myself..so what can i do? i need to have an idea of who will be coming by friday.
does this happen in your schools too? or is it just mine..because in past parties nobody has RSVP 'd really either...

I've had to deal with this a lot, but considering that my parties are the shit, everyone RSVPS. lol.

Okay, first, if the people who are going to your party from your school mostly, then I would just get the word out. You can not be a bitch about it, and just start talking about your Sweet16, and then obviously, people LOVE talking about parties.

Then casually just ask, hey are you coming? blahblah.

What not to do, don't be desperate about it because people MIGHT make a joke about it or whatever.

You want them to feel like your sweet16 is going to be amazing, so that they WANT to go to one.


GOODLUCk.

...ummmm...how do I put this...My friend well...stinks. Like literally! Like I dont know how to tell her to get a stronger deoderant or somthing but like being around her makes my stomach hurt. Please someone help me!

You have to casually slip it to her.
See, I'm usually the loud/blunt one in my group... actually in general, so I would just tell them directly.
But, I'm not sure about how you are, so I could just be like... "OMG, I smell so bad.. etcetc, where is my new deoderant..." Then, go home or whatever, put it on.. and say. "Wow, thank god. This shit is amazing. You should really get/try some."

GOODLUCK.

i met this really cute guy in summer school. but im really shy so ill nvr make tha first move.
any suggestions?

Well, obviously, you have to start talking to him. lol.
Ask to borrow a pencil, what page the homework was on, if he understood the question.
You know, all that simple "summer school" stuff.
Then when you become decently good friends, like going to eat lunch together or something, get his AIM sn and phonenumber.
So you guys can possible go chill or talk about "homework" online.

GOODLUCK!

i have underarm flab and some fat on my back...i mean im a pretty fit girl like my legs are skinny and my stomach is fine but my back and underarms are having a lil trouble...so what is a good excersise to get this crap off my back and underarms... HELP SUMMER IS COMING!!!!!! ill rate u high!!!

The best thing to do is to tone your arms and "waist."
I usually take dum bells and do 3 sets of 20 three times.
If you can do this, most girls can't, you can try to do pull-ups, but that requires a gym facility.
In addition, yoga would be a fun and great way to do these workouts.. especially if you're with your friends. :)

Good luck!
