does anyone know any really good tan at home sprays??i rate high (link)
| |
A friend of mine used one by Loreal . Her tan looked really natural and she said that it was really easy to use. Give it a try!

Last year I dyed my hair black and i've kept it black since then. I am now trying to get my hair back to a more natural color: dark brown-light brown. I tried Herbal Essences Dye.. It was called Iced Bronze or something like that.
It just dyed my roots brown and make the black in my hair a really odd color.
If anyone knows a good brand and/or color of dye that will completely cover black, let me know!!
Thanks a BUNCH! (link)

Whatever you do, DO NOT bleach your hair on your own, have it done by a professional. You could really ruin your hair if you do it by yourself. Also DO NOT dye it blonde, if it is already black it will turn it a funky orange color, which won't look at all natural. I think you will be really satisfied if you go to a professional. More expensive? Yes, but your results will be what you want.

I have a daughter-in-law who has the same interests as you, is your age and a wonderful mother. I wonder if you could tell me what she may want for her birthday. Thanks!

Well CAO,
If she likes to shop at Jo-Anne Fabrics, Hancock Fabrics or any place that has fabric, or craft type items(Wal-Mart has a surprisingly good variety too), you could get her a gift card for one of those places.
Or another idea, since she is a mom, you could send her something to pamper herself. Maybe some nice smelling lotions or bodywash?
Hope I helped!

I was with my girlfriend for 2 years when she got pregnant. It wasn't a planned pregnancy but we decided that we would deal with it. The first week that she brought that baby home things were good. We got a little apartment and I was working full time during the day and she would work a couple hours at night just until I could support us with only my job. Well one day I got home from work and she was gone. She left a note saying that she wasn't ready for a child and that she's leaving our daughter with me. It's been a week since then. I've been doing the best I can but I don't know the first thing about being a parent and I have no one to ask about it. I grew up in foster homes my whole life. I love my little girl to death but I just don't know what to do anymore. She doesn't stop crying. I've tried feeding her, changing her, rocking her, everything that I can think and she keeps crying. I brought her to the doctor and he said that there is nothing physically wrong wtih her. I don't know what to do. If anyone has idea of what could be causing this please let me know. I would also appreciate it if any one knows anything about taking care of a 3 week old baby. Please help me.

Hi Jack,
I am a mother of a one year old. I remembered reading in a book that if you swaddle your baby girl and rock her from side to side that she could calm down. It reminds them of being in the womb. I don't know if you were there when your girlfriend had an ultrasound but if you make a shushing sound kind of like that when your baby's wrapped up it can calm them as well. Good advice from Orionsfire on the vacuum and car rides.
There's a book called Happiest Baby on the Block that can really help also.
Every baby is different so hopefully something or all with help.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Hey does anyone know where to find black jeans that are flared? Like stores that hold them. I hate straight-legged pants.. and whenever I try to find black jeans the store helpers dont seem to GET that I want BLACK jeans.. not a different material of pants..
Either that or they point out some dark clue jeans and I don't understand how they think it's BLACK. I don't want gothic pants or anything, I just mean simple black flared jeans or some cute black jeans that AREN'T straight-legged, because I honestly need some new clothes and have wanted them for the longest time.
So anyone know what good stores to look in for this type of stuff?
Thanks (link)

Something that you could do,(if you can't find black jeans) is find a pair of jeans that you really like and dye them black . You can buy dye at stores like Wal-Mart, in the laundry detergent aisle for about $3.00 .
