Q: i can't wear sandals or flip flops to school because my feet start to sweat really bad, is there something i can do to fix this?
i have the same problem, it annoys me alot. don't get any of the 'old navy' flip flops because those leave nasty sweat marks. get a pair of flip flops that look like they are basket/woven, like tropical kinda, from roxy or billabong. pacsun (in the mall) would probably have flipflops like that. i find those are the best with my kind of feet. when i wear ballet flats, i usually wear those really short socks that just cover your toes and back of your foot so you can't see it when you wear the shoe. good luck!

Q: I just found a Cartier gold clock, shaped like a bear, in my room. According to my parents, I got it for my thrid birthday from a friend(eleven years ago.) I was wondering if anyone knew how much it was worth?

ps PLEASE don't tell me to google it.
you should probably get it appraised. try taking it to a jewlery specialist, one who specializes in cartier, or an antique appraiser. check your local listings (yellow book) for appraisers.

Q: Okay, so do you know what those little fuzzy things that are on shirts called? Like, you could have a shirt, all clean and stuff, but after a while it gets these little fuzzy thingies all over. Not lint or anything.. I actually have no idea what it's called. Hopefully, you understand me? & If you know what they are, why do they get there?
hmm i think its lint though. because you know those things called the 'lint rollers'? those are used to get the fuzzy things off the shirts. i know what you are talking about, and those usually go on sweaters/knits or dress clothes (well, mine at least). i know they transfer from other clothes to another in the laundry, and to get them off use a lint roller or some tape.

Q: alright so my hair is naturally wavy. and this thing i hate about it is that in the summer is perfect and in the cold it is so not. like its straight in the front and wavy on the bottom and too poofy or what ever. sometimes its perfect and sometimes not. i ussaully just let it go natural or straighten it but thats getting boring. it also is getting split ends like CRAZY. i dont even straighten it that much. i put stuff on my hair before i straighten it too so that it wont happen.

so any really good hair ideas.. nothing stupid- serouisly.also i wanna know how i can like... make my hair perfect wavy.. not just like weird wavy haha. something like this:...but no gell if thats possible.

and how do i keep my hair healthy??

my hairs blonde.. just incase that helps. ha.


THANKSSSS =]

thats a scrunched hairstyle. which means you use a combination of hair mousse and gel (but since you cant use gel just use mousse).

the gel makes the "wet" look, so without it it will just be normal wavy.

this might sound crazy, but when you buy the hair mousse get the cheapest one there. because the expensive ones have a harder hold and make it tight and curly, but the cheap ones don't have much of an effect so they make it perfectly wavy, not curly.

so basically, just buy cheap hair mousse and apply when your hair is dry. i take showers at night and in the morning i use the mousse (but i straighten before that because my hair is different than yours & its super curly)

maybe to change it up a bit, try bangs. make sure your face shape is right for the type of bangs you want before you get them. then when you use the mousse on your head, you can use the straightener on your bangs.

to keep your hair healthy, get it trimmed once you start getting split ends/dry ends. it makes a big difference.

hope i helped!

Q: so i might be starting a job in a few months and its my first job ever haha but im scared i might fall asleep on the job. see i have this thing and everytime i get home from school i feel like just passing out which is weird because i get plenty of sleep during the night. is there anything i can do besides drink energy drinks,sodas,or coffee to keep me up throughout the day and not make me sleepy? thanks in advance
first of all, don't rely on energy drinks. they can boost your energy first, but later make you crash. chew gum or keep candy in your mouth without being rude during your job. also, from time to time, go and splash your face with cold water. good luck! feel free to leave me one in my inbox if you need help!

Q: If I want to re-decorate my room (Japanese style), what are some good ideas that I could use? As in, the color of my room, decor, etc.

Thanks!!
well, there are 2 types of japanese style that you can decorate in.

if you're planning on decorating kawaii (cute, usually like those japanese cartoon things and like bright colors), paint the walls something bright that will pop out, like pink, blue, green, whatever, just make sure it isnt faded/pastel. then, use that color for the wall and make a color scheme. (like if you colored the wall blue, use colors like white, different shades of blue, yellow. you can find color schemes online if you can't think of any colors that go well together. then put up posters/pics of cute japanese characters, put some flowers in the room, like cute girly things. i also suggest a mushroom chair with tons of pillows on the bed & chair.

traditional japanese is another style. it uses dark wood (so get dark wood furniture) and its more contemporary than the other style. for the wall color, you can pretty much pick anything except for like HOT PINK. lol. so it has to be something rich and contemporary for the walls. then add things associated with nature. like a little vase with bamboo or other plants, maybe a bonsai tree. i also suggest those small fountains that have rocks, but if you cant get that a vase with rocks is nice too. add some pictures with japanese writing/people.


sorry that was long. haha.
i hope i helpedd!

Q: Hey, I just wanted to say that I really like your picture, is that you?
ohh noo, lol. thanks though! you can use it if you want, because its not me and i just got it off a random website. hahah

Q: soo i was wonderin whats a good free photoshop trial i could download that definitely has the blemish fixer and teeth whitener effect? i already used Corel Paint Shop Pro XI and i really loved it but sadly my trial has ended and it wont let me download it again =[. by the im not buyin anything but something similar to that one would be great. thanks
try jasc.com.
you can download a 30 day trial of Paint Shop Pro. its an easier program than adobe photoshop but i'm not sure how it is compared to Corel. Its a great program though, and ive been using it for a while (i bought the CD) have fun!

Q: Well
I was saying that my eyebrows are messed up.
I know I can do waxing but there's really nothing to wax.

Could you dye around your eyebrows to darken the lighter hairs to make fuller eyebrows?

Do salons have that?
hmm. i wouldnt suggest that, i think the best way is to let it grow out. it doesn't take that long since you plucked it alot (it will grow out faster) but if you really need to grow them out quickly, take pills that grow your hair and nails which will help. if nothing works, the best thing is to go to the salon and ask them "i want fuller eyebrows, what are my options?" good luck!

Q: Okay. So, I have never actually purchased anything from iTunes. My boyfriend bought me a $25 iTunes Music Card today...

Do you have to spend all $25 at once?
Or can you just spend say $10 and the rest later?

Thanks.
you can spend it whenever you want. so whenever you log on, you always have your remaining balance. hope i helped!

Q: How do you put a picture as a caption for your pictures on myspace?
first, you have to host your picture. that means you can upload it to tinypic.com, or imageshack.us
then, go to your myspace caption and type in:

replace the writing in caps with the link that imageshack or tinypic gave you for the pic!
hope it helpss
