I want to hide all my comments on myspace AND the view/add link because I already have a comment box. Most links leave your last 3 comments showing. I need a really good code.. please help. (link)
i actually had a similar problem on myspace. take the advice of the person below me, but if that doesn't work; make sure you are placing the code in the correct place. I was just putting the code any where in my profile, and it ended up showing some of the comments too. hope i helped. :]

okay, heres a couple of ideas:

Invest in a good straightner if you can; I use a Chi and I love it and get a lot of good use out of it.

With straightened hair you can:
1.just leave your hair down and straightened; make sure you use some sort of frizz control product, herbal essences works great.
2.put only a little bit of hair back in a clip on in the middle of your head: usually where a center part woud go. make the hair in the clip into almost a bit of a poof.
3.experiment with the many parts; middle, side, other side
4.head bands are great. if you want to experiment a little, square faces look great with side bangs. leave your bangs out when wearing a head band.

With out straightening:
5.always use some sort of anti-frizz product to keep away the fly aways!
6.all of the styles above look great with scrunched hair. Scrunching is simple; wash your hair and run a big amount of strong gel through your hair and basically grab pieces of hair and squeeze it. It's like a wet wavy look.
7.the classic pony tail is always great; however to make it a little different start with style number two then just tie your hair back into either a high or low pony. make sure its not to tight.
8. low ponys on either side of your neck. mess them up a bit.

well this should be enough to start you off! :]

need more? you can always ask.


My face gets red spots all over and just has a lot of redness ever since I got acne and had to take medicines for it. My makeup wears off really fast since my face get's oily but it's also dry in some areas so it looks all flaky. I hate the way my skin looks, what are some good brands of cover up? I'm using prescriptives right now and it's just not working for me. (link)
I also have combination skin, and what has worked best for me is moisturizing with an oil-free moisturizer in the morning. First, dab on with a sponge or tissue Neutragena oil free, acne clearing coverup. (found at any CVS or Walgreens) Over that, apply Clinique powder foundation, especially in your oil prone areas. (you can find a clinique store in any department store at your local mall)

The liquid coverup should prevent your skin from being dry and the powder should help keep the oil away. Need more brands? Inbox me. hope i helped!

how do you get pictures to have that lighting? is it just like changing the brightness/contrast? (link)
yeah thats basically it. lighting and contrast. if you want to download a great free program for photo editing try picasa. just type in "Picasa" on google and you'll find some sort of download. From there, increse the highlight and the shadow which will create probably just the right contrast that your looking for. need more help with photo editing, feel free to inbox me. hope i helped. =]


okay i am so out of shape. ive never been in shape but i cant run for beans. i can only jump rope. would it be okay for me to do one hour of jump rope per day? to lose weight? (link)
Deffinitely, jump rope is great exercise and it will help you lose weight. However if you really want to build endurance, it may be a good idea to try to start running. Start slow and built your way up. Do not run more than four days a week. Mix it up. =]


ok... well i have alot of weird people in my neighborhood... so do you think it would be okay if i ran on a tredmill? or would that be wayyy different? and not help me....

well i hope you can help

If worse comes to worse, definitely make use of your treadmill. Anything to keep in shape. Any basketball camps? Look for some in your area. Hope I was able to help.


I have kind of wavy hair that is really long. I love the way it looks when I get out of the pool. Is there any specific spray that anyone has used that is cheap and makes hair wavy and beachy-looking? I've tried some stuff but nothing has really worked so great... I don't mean scrunching gel... is there some kind of spray/mousse/etc. that can do that? (link)
Try running some Tresseme styling moose through your hair to get any frizz out; then top it off with some making waves garnier frutcis hairspray. This should pull off the look your looking for. Need more ideas? Inbox me. =]


I'm starting to break out all on my face so I'm going to the dermatologist soon. For those who went there how fast did your skin clear up from the medicines or products they told you to use? And what do they do when you go? (link)
The Dermatologist was a complete life saver for me! A couple days after I took the medicine and topical treatments they supplied; my skin started too clear up. However, I was lucky; for some it takes up to 2 weeks to see any results. Catching acne in its earlier stages is a good idea though to prevent scarring. All they do is basically take a look at the condition of your skin; and give you prescriptions so you can get them filled. It's pretty easy in and easy out. =]



Warning: this may be a bit long

Okay. Well I signed up for basket ball for this school year. And I'm really not that good. But I want to learn before the basket ball season starts. It's mainly to just get fit and impress my frinds, because all my friends don't think I can even play a sport.

So if some one could just tell me some advice on how to become a better baset ball player. That would be awesome

please and thank-you

♥.Rachel (link)
Rachel,
All it takes is a lot of practice. Make sure you get your self in the best shape you can before tryouts. If your conditioned; then the rest should come to you naturally with a lot of practice. Try running atleast 10-20 minutes a day; 3 days a week. Try bringing a friend, sibling, or parent outside to help you practice under pressure. Need more advice? Feel free to inbox me! good luck! =]


what are other ideas for dry feet? (link)

Soak your feet in hot (not too hot) water every night. It will soften them.

okay i know this sounds absolutely crazy; but if you rub mayonesse (sp. sorry!) all over the dry area's, put socks on a for a couple of minutes; then make sure you wash your feet off good; to get rid of the smell.

Lastly, while your in the shower use conditioner to wash your feet. That should do the trick.

good luck !


how do i make my feet super soft?because they are starting to get dry spots on them?and my parents wont buy me a thing to make them soft (link)
Here's a couple of ideas;

Vaseline: one of my favorite things. Put some vaseline on your feet and then socks on over night; and you'll have soft feet in the morning.

lotions, cuticle cream, moisturizer: any thing like that around the house is sure to help

mix sugar and honey: to make a scrub to get all the dead skin off. eww.

need more ideas? inbox me. =]


hey

im sick of my boring hairstyle.

i have black hair, wavy-ish, and shoulder length.

i have a round face, and i want to try something new. not DRASTIC POW POW BAM new. just something else. i dont know what would look good on a round face and im not super skinny..but im not fat.

please help! i need change! (link)
Here are a couple of ideas. =]

get bangs especially to the side. they look great on round faces.
straighten/ curl your hair.
since your hair is a little wavy, scrunching would probbaly also look great.
half up- half down, with some bangs coming out; or if no bangs curl or straighten the part of your hair that is not in a pony tail holder.
loose braids.
low pony tail
high pony tail slightly off too the side

inbox me for more ideas. good luck!


does anyone know where i can find knockoff chanel, louis vuitton, and other brands like that online? anything is appreciated. thank you! (link)
I don't know where you live, but if you are any where near New York City; if you take a walk through china town, it's basically designer knock off heaven. Other wise, your best bet is to google it. have fun. =]


does anyone have any ideas on how to get my parents trust back? (link)
I don't know what you did, so I'm not sure the extent you ruined their trust for you. All you can do is try to be honest from now on. Show them that you are responsible and just an overall good person. Try being easy going when they ask you to do things such as chores, favors, etc. Or if they tell you can't do something, then don't put up a fight. I guess you just need to show them that you know what ever you did was wrong, and your ready to change. good luck. =]


i recently cutmy hair extremely short, not by choiuce but by force from my mother.. i was wondering if there was anyway to someone getmyhair togrow faster, i absolutly hate how i look with short short hair, and extensions are not anoppion because well basically i think its a waiste of money... so are there are products i can use, or special foods i can eat to helpmy hair grow faster??? (link)
Nope, you can't make your hair grow any faster, but the good news is, is that it's summer. Hair grows a lot faster in the summer then in the winter. hope every thing works out with you, maybe you can find some hair styles that work with your new short hair.


what's the difference between track & cross country? (link)
Basically, track has a number of events including:
Discus
Shot Put
short distance
long distance (1600 meters)
long jump
high jump
and hurdles

Cross country it running long distance; more like 3.5 and plus miles.

Hey, I absolutely love the way your eyes look in your picture on here. How did you do that?
(link)
Awh, thank you. =]
All I did was use GIMP photo editor, its very easy to download on google. I made the photo black and white and basically painted my shirt and eyes with the half clear pain brush.
Erin


okay well i need 3 CHEAP [we're talking $10-20 bucks here, 20 being the most] pairs of jeans for school. don't say walmart or target, & i already checked at tj maxx & marshalls. where is a good store i can get jeans from? i'm 13/f and a size 0 juniors or 14 kids if that helps. thankss :] (link)
Try looking in JC Penney's. I've found them to be helpful when trying to find some cute clothes for cheap. Most of there jeans range from $19.99 to $30.00. Also, check in Wet Seal; with out a doubt they sell jeans for 20 and under. Lastly, if you have a BOSCOWS by you by you, try searching there. Good luck. =]
Erin


do you know where i can download a program where i can make my pictures look better, like a photoshop program but i wanna download it for free
any ideas please? (link)
Try going on google and just type "Photo editors", you should get a bunch to download.
Some of my favorites are GIMP, Picasa, and Photo Tool Kit. There easy to download and free.

GIMP is probably the most advanced of the three and lets you change colors of different parts of the photo.

Photo Tool Kit makes it easy to get rid of unwanted blemishes or skin discolorations.

Lastly, Picasa is great for changing the resolution, contrast, shadowing, fill light, and main light of the photo.

Have fun, and hope I was able to help you. =]

Okay, this is my hair.
But at the rest of it, It's wavy. It looks really pretty when its wet but after it starts drying, it starts getting little frizzies everywhere.

What I want to know:
Is if there is any good product out there that I can just stick in my hair after I shower and have it look nice and wavy as it air dries throughout the day?

Is that what deep conditioners are for?

I'm clueless. (link)
To keep that "just showered" look in your hair. Try using tresseme moose. I personally, love it. The frizz will stay out for the entire day. Try touching up with some Loreal anti-frizz serum, and that should do the trick. Hope I helped. =]
