what does exfoliate your skin mean?

when you exfoliate your skin you are taking off dead cells.
this is good because it opens up your pores and it feels clean

This summer I'm going to the mediterranean with my school, including a short cruise. My concern is that i am slightly overweight (i fluxuate near 207, but im only 6' tall, and i don't exercise enough). I want to enjoy myself, without being embarressed, and i want to feel healthy in general. My diet isnt really bad, i eat fairly normal portions of well rounded foods, and i avoid junk foods when possible. I want to know if anyone has any daily routines they do to keep in shape, and an estimated length of time before visible effects would occur. Also, if anyone has tips to get motivated (im usually a procrastinator) that would be nice. 15/m

well, it seems as if your on a nice start
as for motivation look online at ppl who are overweight and tell yourself you dont want to be this way
also think about how nice it will feel not be self concious when you are on the beach :)
and go to the weight room with your friends, push each other!

This new semester I will have to write a re-search paper that it worth a whole bunch of points and I need some great topics to chose from.

It can be about anything besides sports and famous people. I'd rather not write about any wars or things in the past but something that would interest my teacher when reading. Some kids are doing the invention on ice cream or air planes so anything fun but that I would enjoy writing about. Im 16/f if it matters lol.

Thank you so much! If you could give me at least 5 choices.

well what subject? english? history?
well if i knew the subject it might help but here are some, sorry if they don't apply
-where pizza really came from?
-is fastfood really bad? what about it? how is it good? (that might sound weird but it would make your paper interessting, :})
-difference between #1 pencils and #2 (sorry, im actually wondering about that)
-benifits of diets?
-bad things about diets?
-invention of a crossant (cresent)
-strting of bicycles (that would be cool cause they changeed over time)
-how computers started (i mean we are so dependant on them, might as well know how they came about)
-starting of camera (this is cool, too cause they used to be slow and huge)
-global warming?
-time (what it means?)
-art history?
-Leonardo da Vinci (that guy did everything)

well thats all i could come up with on the spot, i might have more later so if those dont work then please ask me the question again i could give you more

i really hope i either helped you or inspired you!
good luck on the paper! :)

I dont look forward to going to school. I was wondering if there was anything i could do during the week (after school) to look forward to that way i could get through the day easier and look forward to the next day every day.

lol, thats a nice idea
i saw a show on tv and it said you should plan strange things
like monday is ice cream day, you can go to an ice cream palor
or like tuedays you go eat out
wednesdays you go for a walk
thursdays you invite a friend over and hang out
just stuff like that
other things include
if you dont have hw than go watch a movie
are you a girl? boy? if you are a girl you could go to get you nails done
just plan strange light things, no limits!

mske sure your picture is a jpeg and as for the background you have to look at the left tool bar thingy. under Miscellaneous it says age backgrounds. then you can look through them. hen ou selet one copy the code into your Coloumn setting in Backgrounds.
hope i helped :)

I can barely sleep at night! I go to bed at 8:00 PM hoping to wake up at 5:30 or 6:30 AM so I can get a head start on things but I can't seem to go to bed. I twist and turn like crazy but my bed is really comfortable [its not new and I've slept well in it until 3 months ago] and I think that there is nothing that is subconsciously bothering me. This has has such a pivotal effect on me. I ended up sleeping in class. Before vacation I received 3 detentions for this problem. My mom has resorted to having me go to bed at 7:30. Even then I still don't sleep until about 11:00. I am not aloud to get up and turn on lights or relaxing music because my parents need to go to bed. [they wake up really early]I don't understand what I can do!

How can I sleep earlier and better?

this might sound weird but actually too much sleep can make you feel more tired! so when you are going to sleep at 8 you are going to get more tired. the key to feeling fresh and not sllepy is not to sleep too much and not sleep too little. Try to keep your scheduale up and then sleep at 10. I now sleep from 10-11 and wake up at 5 w/ no problem. so i think you should sleep later. i hope it will turn out alright. good luck :)

Me and my sister are wanting to lose some weight for the New Year. Mainly the stomach and the thighs. If anyone has any tips, anything would be very helpful.

Thank you!

Happy New Year!

its great that both of you are going to excercise together because this way you will get more support from each other and more results!
heres what works
every other day excersize
some excersizes that are good
-sit ups
-crunthes
-suitcases (lie on the ground, at the same time lihf shouler/head towards kness (bring kness up too) go back but do not let your head or feet touch the floor) this is very good
also going for jogs and walks is great
make sure you drink lots of water! and eat fruits and veggie, stay healthy!

im 17 and my sister is 11. her birthday is coming up.
what should i get her???

im positive that if you asked her she would tell you.
i have a sister whos the same age and she lets me know what she wants
any kind of board game is good
also if you want you can take her to the movies for her b-day, that would be sweet
or a gift card

I have no idea what i want to do in life. I have 3 years left in highschool and i want to do so many things and still live in florida. but i keep hearing my dad talk about how i wont be able to afford it. so i was thinking about moving to mexico or puerto rico. but the jobs i would want to be dont pay well in those places. For example i want to do something with kids. (daycare, nursing, etc) or I want to work for a magazine (editor, writer, etc). Also i've thought about working as a hotel manager. But i dont like the "benefits." Im not exactly sure what the question is i am asking. I just need a little advice on something im talking about. sorry if im confusing. but i am confused and im trying to explain this as easy es possible.

lol, you still have time, there is no need to worry. what i would do is find a college that has many choices so that when you do decide to switch majors and stuff like that it will be easier
also, i would recommend taking electives that closly relate to your plans. this way you will be able to see if you like it and more in detail.
but dont worry, you do have three years and if you stay calm you will figure it out in time :)

okay, this is going to be kind of a stupid question, but i've been wondering..


does the nintendo sports games for the nintendo wii work as excersise? i mean, the boxing?
does it count as actual excersising?

i would count it as excerisze because you are moving so much and if you notice, you do get tired
its an excellent way to burn calories :)

what is a good cleaning product to get stains out of car fabric? i have light colored fabric in my car

actually if its the faberic on the floor then regular detergent orks really well

also if you go tot the store and ask for the steam vacume solutions, they work really well if you use it just for cleaning, you dont need the steam vac

I've been in girlscouts for about 10 years. I've been with the same girls in my troop for that long. We are down to about 10 of us. We are all working toward our Gold Award, which is the last award. Then, we complete girlscouts.
This summer, we are going on a cruise. I want to do something really special for all of them. Maybe buy them each a little something, or make a toast at one of the dinners on the cruise.
Its just .. these girls and i have been through soo much and I just want to show them that I appreciate all the itme we've spent together.
Ideas for something special wanted!
Thanks!

get them each a small gift
get a giftbag and put in stuff
for example you can put in friendship bracelets or something that will make you guys remember memories
or a giftcard
or if you are okay with the expense you can take them out to dinner sometime
