Q: I have pimples/zits on my arms how can I get them to disapear completely! This is a big emergency!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well neutrogena and clean and clear sell body wash for acne. i havent used them yet, but you can try them. i used oxy acne wash on my back, and it works really well, i just recently started using it on my arms.. but i havent really seen any improvement yet

hope i helped :)

Q: i always get pimples and i squeeze them and they go away... but then i get scabs on my face... those dont go away for about a week...i start school in a few weeks... can anyone suggest any good products to prevent pimples?
ok, whatever you do, dont squeeze your pimples. you can try proactiv.. it takes atleast 2 weeks to finally see some results for most people. but if you dont want that, you can always try some over the counter products. there's this acne face wash from clearasil ultra that guarantees that your skin will be clearer in 3 days. there's also this oil free acne wash from Neutrogena that's Dermatoligist tested and dermatologists rated it as the #1 acne wash, i think. both of these can help prevent and treat acne. now for your scabs and scars.. i suggest Neutrogena Acne Fading Peel. it helps to treat acne AND treat scars from past zits. i love using this product, but i dont know how well it works though

Q: My mom doesn't want me to have suade sneakers. She thinks they'll get ruined in the rain. Do they? If they do does they water proofing spray really work? Is there anyway I can convince my mom to let me get them? Thank you.
i used to have a pair of suade shoes from sketchers.. they were pretty crappy... lol. at first they felt really nice and soft, but after i wore it for a few months, the suade material started feeling rough and hard. i havent bought another pair of suade shoes ever since. the water-proof spray probably works, i've never used it before, but the saleslady at the shoe store showed me how well they worked. all you have to do is show your mom that the waterproof spray really works. just spray some of it on a paper towel, let it dry for a minute or less, and then pour some water on it. the water will just run off the spot that was sprayed

Q: Does anyone know how to get a background on your xanga? like one from another webpage?? HELP ME PLZ! I will rate high!

http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=lb_productionz

just scroll a little down and see tons of backgrounds and layouts for xangas, and you can use any of them on your own xangas, but you have to link link back to him and give him the credits

my friend used one of his layouts and her xanga looks great

Q: I use the words: incredible, awesome, beautiful and amazing all the time. I was wondering if you knew any words that mean basically the same thing, but are different?
umm what about.. cool, that's hot, wow, oh my god, outstanding, great, interesting, wonderful, fantasic, fab, fabolous, tremendous, drop dead georgous, and superb

those are just some words.. you can always make up your own words.. thats how slang was created. i dont think people said "Gnarly" back in the 18th century... lol

Q: ok im looking on oldnavy.com and i want to get a turquoise cord blazer ..im wondering what kind of pants to wear with it?

http://www.oldnavy.com/asp/product.asp?:=l&wpid=325098&wdid=2000055

i think it would look hot in blue jeans, or dark blue jeans. not the ones that look destroyed, but just normal ones that are tight and look a little faded

Q: on AIM what does

=P
:D

and other things like that mean ? i dont know what they mean ! or if they even have a meaning. ill rate 5's for any useful serious answers
they just stand for facial expressions. :) that's a smiley face. =P is a face with a tounge sticking out, like in a joking way. :D is a BIG open mought grin. ;) means a wink... and there's more.. but i cant remember all of them because i only use the smiley face one. all you have to do is turn your head to the side and imagine those symbols on a person's face.

Q: what is the best product to use on acne?
it kind of depends what your skin type is, because there's not product that works well for everyone. but proactiv works pretty well. it helps me and a lot of people. clearasil ultra is also good.. it gaurantees that it can clear your face in 3 days. oh, and oxy maximum strength pads work really well too. there was this sale on oxy pads at target for a few weeks, maybe a month, and the price for those pads were cut in half, so it was like 2.50 for a pack of 90 pads. and the oxy pads were ALWAYS sold out when i went to target, and i go there once or twice a week to buy food

Q: There's this guy I really want to get to know. He's new to out school, he's cute, he's shy, and sits alone at lunch. He barely ever talks.

The bad thing is, that I'm shy, too. I'd love to get to know him, but my shyness is holding me back. How can I get over this?
if you want to get to know this guy as much as you say you do, then i know you'll be able to approach him no matter how shy you are. in 7th grade, i was in a new class that didnt have anyone that i knew. and i'm a pretty shy person when i'm in a place where i dont know anyone. there was this girl though, and i could just tell that she felt as shy and isolated as me, so i decided to start talking to her, and we've been good friends ever since. so if this guy is really shy, then there will only be a small chance that he'll try talking to you or anyone else. you have to be the bigger man and try talking to him first. that's the only way for you to get to know him. think about it, is it really that hard to go up to a person and say hi? just pretend that he's someone that you've known for a long time, and you'll be more comfortable around him. and inside he'll be so glad that you've decided to talk to him, since he's new and he doesnt know anyone yet.

Q: i'm starting highschool this year, and our highschool is so old and sucky that it doesnt have AC anywhere in the building so its SUPER hott inside, anyways.. i was wondering if anyone knew of a really really good deoderant that would stop the sweat. i know i should use one with antiperspirant. right now i am using ADIDAS ACTIVE ANTI-PERSPIRANT for women, in the gel form. i used to use DOVE INVISIBLE SOLID, but that didnt work too well. not only do i want a deoderant for school, but that will work when i play sports too. (i play soccer & run varsity track) 14/f thanks, i rate 5's
you can try Arrid Extra Dry. it really works and it keeps your pits dry for a long time. i also have dove.. i dont think it helps to keep your armpits from getting sweaty.. it just makes it feel nice and soft. you can also try BAN. it's this new and cool brand of deodorant. it sounds pretty good, but i havent actually used it yet

hope i helped :)

Q: hey umm i have some acne and i have meet the teacher nite like tomorrow and school starts like in 3 days is there anything i can use to help clear it up at least a little bit before school starts and if so wats it called and where can you get it at??? thankx
well, you can use clearasil ultra. that whole line gaurantees your face will be clearer after 3 days of using it. so i suggest that you wash your face with the clearasil ultra face wash during the mornin and at night, and use the clearasil ultra spot treatment too. they work pretty well for me, well the spot treatment does atleast. you can buy these products at like target, walgreens, walmart, eckerd, rite aid, cvs.. and like your local drug store/pharmacy.

Q: Is it weird for an African-American girl to say things like "Dude", "Narley", "Hot", etc.?
that's totally fine. my friends' school has kids that just came from china, can barely speak english, and they call each other, "niggers". anyone can say whatever they want, no matter what ethnicity they are. i know most surfers and preps say Gnarley, but just because they say it the most, it doesnt mean they actually OWN it and that it's not like it isnt ok for anyone else to say it. you shouldnt worry because you can say whatever you what, free speech shouldnt have limitations.

Q: Does any bodyd knwo nay really good face products??? Beside proavticte...and that they worked for you?
umm oxy pads with maximum strength works really well, they're so much better than stridex. i LOVE using the Clean and Clear deep action cream cleanser. when you wash it off, it gives your face a really nice tingly and refreshed feeling. I also like using Queen Helene mint julep mask. it helps to minimize pores, and get rid of blackheads and zits. i dont know if it REALLY works as well as it says it does, but it dries up pimples atleast.

i wanna buy toner from biore.. i heard they're really good for minimizing your pores..

Q: is the motorola v3 razr like a guy phone? and do you guys think its an ugly phone or not? i want some opinions.. thanks!!
my friend(a girl) used to have one, and it didnt look right for her.. i'm gonna say that it's a phone that would look better if a guy had it. it's not like the small, cute phones that most girls have. the motorola razr is thin.. but it's preppy wide. wider than most cell phones, and the color is like dull grey.. not shiny silver.. soo it's more like a guy phone, but everyone has their own opinions...

Q: ok well i had my period.. 2nd time now.. and i dont know.. like how many times a day should i change my pad/ tampond?? or like my mom never had the talk with me so idk what to expect
umm i dont know much about tampons because i only use pads. i usually change mine everytime i use the bathroom. if there's very little blood, then you can use the same pad. if like half the pad(or more) has blood on it, you should change it. i normally change my pad.. maybe 3-4 times a day... depending on how heavy the leak is.. but that's just me. your period might be different from mine. and you should change it when you think you need to use a new one.

Q: do ouija boards really tell the truth or do ppl just make it up?
well, some people think it really does tell the truth, but i personally think it's all a big hoax. i mean, how can a cardboard or wooden board and a triangle help you communicate with deap people? i think some people DEEP DOWN know it's fake, but they still try to believe that it's real because they desperately want to communicate with their loved ones. it gives them false hope, and sometimes it better to have false hope than no hope at all. it all really depends on what you think though.

Q: So I shave my underarms every day...but lately I've been getting ingrown hairs and that's never happened before. It's kinda gross...it looks like I have pimply armpits or something (I wash my arm pits every day). I think it might have been because I changed my deoderant recently...but I don't think that makes sense because I don't put on deoderant until after I shave. So does anyone know why this happened and what I can do to fix it? Because it's the hottest month of the year and I would like to be able to wear tank tops again.
yeah.. it's definately because of your deodorant. i used to use a deodorate from secret, and it gave my armpits a HUGE rash. then when i changed it to dove, the rash disappeared. what you should do is buy a new deodorant, maybe one from the same brand as your previous deodorants because those didnt give you "pimply armpits." and your armpits will go back to normal in a few days, a week at the most.
