does anyone know how to fade freckles?
.:~*I rate 5's*~:.
there is no way to completely make freckles go away. If you have them, you should just try to accept that they are part of who you are. (my dad always told me that my freckles were angel kisses... that always made me feel better about them) but if you do want to fade your freckles the best advice would probably be to wear sunscreen all the time and to stay out of the sun! Some people say that lemon juice makes freckles go away... and i know it can lighten hair so it may fade freckles, but i'm not sure.
Try to embrace your freckles as a part of you!

My hair right now is a little past my shoulders and for me, it's long. I was thinking about growing it out longer to about the middle of my back and then cut it to a little past my chin and donate my hair to Locks of love. My question is, what is the minimum in inches of hair you can donate? Thanks for the help!
This is the information from the locks of love website. It says 10in, but i think you also need 1/2 above the ponytail for the hairperson to cut! So when deciding how long you want your hair to be afterwards (and therefore how long you need to grow your hair to) you may want to take that into consideration!
1.We accept 10" minimum hair length (tip to tip), not wigs, falls, or synthetic hair
2.Please bundle hair in ponytail or braid.
3.Hair needs to be clean, dry, placed in a plastic bag, then padded envelope.
4.We need hair from men and women, young and old, all colors and races.
5.Hair may be colored or permed, but not bleached or chemically damaged (if unsure, ask your stylist).
6.Hair swept off the floor is not usable.
7.Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail.
8.Hair that is short, gray, or unsuitable for children will be separated from the ponytails and sold at fair market value to offset the cost of manufacturing.
9.You may pull curly hair straight to measure the minimum 10".
10.The majority of all hair donated comes from children who wish to help other children.
11.Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails for donation.
12.Please note: Anyone can cut your hair as long as the above guidelines are followed.
You are very sweet for wanting to do this. I've thought about it, but I think i'm too scared to cut off my long hair! If you need any more information on locks of love their website is www.locksoflove.com!

Hey..my room is kind of big, but it's so boring! The walls aren't white, thankfully, but there's no where for my friends to sit when we hang out and it's not a really fun enviorment. Does anyone have any ideas on making my room more upbeat, inviting, or cool? Thanks!
There are so many things you can do to make your room funner and more upbeat!
-One thing i like to do is make poster/magazine/picture collagues on my wall. You get posters, magazine cutouts, pictures of ur friends, etc and collague them on part of or an entire wall in your room. My friend has one wall in her room with one half full of blue colored ads, and one half with pink colored ads. Another cute idea with this is to get an add or poster or something that has one large element on it that you could cut out, and then fill it in with pictures of your friends.
-Seating when your friends come over is a big issuse. Bean bags always work well. I like the ones at target that are almost in the shape of a shoe... they are really nice and comfortable. Target has a few very funky type chairs that are cool. Also if your room is big enough you could always get a fluffy rug, some bean bags, pillows, and maybe a body pillow and make a floor seating area.
-Rearranging the furniture in your room is always a fun way to give it a fresh new look. Try putting your bed caddy cornor and putting your stereo or Cd player in the cornor. Another thing is to take the headboard off your bed (if you have one) and put your bed sideways and make it into a daybed type thing with lots of pillows!
-Color,Color,Color. Addiing color by means of posters, flowers, or just brightly colored room assecories is probably the best and easiest way to make your room more inviting. try using colors that compliment your wall color
-bring pieces of you into the room. if you like to draw, put some of your drawings up on your walls. If you write poetry, write one of your poems on a posterboard and hang it in your room. If you know the basics of how to use a sewing machine make pillows! they are really easy. Also, for a more advance sewer, take an old shirt that doesnt fit anymore and sew up the sleeves and neck. Stuff it then sew up the bottom! Shirt pillow! you can also make pillows with other items of clothing. If you like video games then get pictures of them off the internet and post them in your room. Also, if your parents will let you, get a letter setencil set, and paint a fav quote, or saying on to your wall. If not, then write it on a piece of paper and decorate it! Be creative!
-If you want more ideas try watching Knock first (on Abc Family), Trading Spaces Boys Vs. Girls (discovery kids channel), Trading spaces Family(TLC), and there are alot of other programs on TV that deal with home decorating. Any of these shows are sure to inspire you!
If you need any more ideas or any other help feel free to ask! hope i helped!

Okay, first let me say I'm going to be 17 in a week.
I've been friends with this one girl for the majority of both our lives. We used to go trick or treating every year, and she's going to want to go again this year, whereas I feel I'm too old, and I don't want to go. I know I need to tell her I don't want to go and not just make excuses, but something in me doesn't think she'll understand that I just don't want to walk around in a costume, yelling "TRICK OR TREAT" for candy.
I mean, I LOVE sugar. Seriously, I do - but I'm sick of trick or treating. How do I tell her I don't want to do this without hurting her feelings? 'Cause I know it's gonna bother her. Our friendship is sort of dwindling...sucks, but true. She's 17 too, by the way. Thanks in advance for the help.
Let your friend know that trick or treating is really fun, but you're just not into the idea so much this year. Tell her that adults might get a little annoyed at the fact that two teenagers are trick-or-treating, because it's usually an event for the kids. Also let her know that you still wanna hang out with her on Halloween. Suggest going to a friend's party, or having your own! You could also always just hang out with her eating candy and watching scarey movies at your house. You guys could even wear coustumes! Another good idea might be to hand out candy to trick or treaters. If she wants to you could put on an elebroate display with you two in witch costumes and a fake cauldron with dry ice or something like that. Let her help plan a different activity that both you and her could have fun with!

ok...my friend has a lot of family problems, her sister who is 16 hasnt made some very good decisions. it makes me so mad becuz sometimes my mom is like "don't spend too much time around her, i think she's having a bad influence on you" and blah blah...but she doesn't even know her!!! how can i prove to my mom she isn't what she thinks she is??? also...my friend is thinking about moving. and she's my BEST friend in the whole entire world! how do i handle it? thanks so much!
this is pretty difficult to answer. You and your mom obviously have pretty different views on what you need in a friend. You could try talking to your mom calmly (when she is in a good mood)and just tell her hey mom i know you think [friend's name] is a bad influence on me... but i'd like for you to get to know her a little better... and if you still think she is a bad influence i'll try not to hang out with her so much. She has had some problems at home, but all in all she's a good person. I was wondering if maybe i could invite her to dinner (or have her come to another occasion with ur family). If your mom agrees make shure ur friend is polite and on her best behavior. Have her make a good impression on your mom, and your mom may be more willing to allow you to hang w/ her. Also try to be open and ask your mom to explain to you why she thinks your friend is a bad influence. listen, and then if she says something about her sister just say [friend] is nothing like her sister... she has problems with her family, but that doesnt mean she's a bad person. keep insisting that you want your mom to meet her and stuff.also with your friend movin... make sure she knows you dont want her to leave and how important she is to you. If she does end up moving.... try to keep in contact by phone calls, email, IMing, and snail mail. If she doesnt move too far away then invite her to go do things with you! hope i helped. if you need anything else please post again or AIM me best of luck to you!

I can't ever get along with my family. Everything is always a problem. They never stop yelling at me. It seems like I can't do anything right, and they won't listen to what I have to say. How can I make them listen to my side of the story?
Well first of all you may want to ask yourself if you are listening to their side of the story. Try to understand where your parents are comming from. If you start tuning into what they are saying maybe the will be more willing to listen to your thoughts and feelings. When talking to your family try to avoid yelling at all costs. If they start yelling at you, still try to speak calmly and at a normal tone. If you are fighting with your parents just ask them to listen to your side of the story without interupting and then ask them to respond. Don't however expect them to do this if you are in a yelling competiotion or if you dont do the same for them. All in all my advice would be to ask your family to listen to you (but you have to do the same for them), stay calm, and try not to yell (Even if they are). Problems with family is inevitable, because you spend so much time around them, but with a little work and some respect, things can be less hurtful. The best of luck to you, and if you need help with anything else or more spefic family problems, just ask me or feel free to AIM me at CherryGirlie007!

i cant belive you u got this fro me o0o well i cant do n e thing now!!!
wut do we do if we have a friend tht steals stuff from us?
(kayla s.*cough* *cough*
-kla
Well you should try to understand that this friend probably just thought what you had or did was cool so she thought she should do it too. try not to think of it as stealing stuff from you. Your friend is probably impressed by the fact that you can always find neat stuff on the internet and she... cant. Your friend thought that advicenators was really cool, and she thought.. well why not? You can do anything you want, and if you dont want your friend to "steal stuff" from you in the future just ask her not to. I'm sure your friend was going to talk to you about "stealing it from you"
