OK, so, it's spring break and about 5/7 of my friends are somewhere they can get a nice tan.
I live in CT, and it's been cold & rainy these last couple days. There's no way I can get a tan. I want to go tanning, but my parents won't let me because a.) we don't have any money, b.)they don't want me to get skin cancer and c.) i don't really have a ride to get there.
Spray/lotion tanners really don't work with me. I turn orange. So, please don't tell me to try this one or that one..I've already tried them. But thank you. :)
And there aren't any spray-on tanning centers near me.
So, my questions are...
1.)How can I get tan!?!?!
&
2.) [This doesn't really have to do with tanning] With only 3 days left to spring break, how can I make myself look different? I can't dye my hair, my parents won't let me. I don't have any money to get new clothes..
flip through a vogue magazine or a cosmo or a seventeen and see new hair ideas. mess it up, tease it, braid it, get creative. and look for cool new makeup things to try as well. [ straightup's advice column | Ask straightup A Question ]

So as soon as you see a significant amount of sun, run outside and try to tan =]. I know you've tried self-tanners, but have you tried Jergens Natural Glow? I'm pretty sure it's unable to turn ANYONE orange.
As for making yourself look different, try new things with the clothes/hair accessories/makeup you already have. It'll probably be warm enough to wear a skirt to school on Monday, so you might try that. If you normally wear your hair up, wear it down, and vice versa. Do your nails a wacky color, and try something new with eyeliner.
adviceeexx answered Thursday April 19 2007, 11:45 am: well, since there really isn't anyway you can get tan probably try a new hair style, something not scarey, lol, but something really nice.. like maybe if you don't wear your hair down then fix it up really nice. and striaght or scrunchi.
&& also try different make ups.. if your allowed to
_ Hope that helps =]
btw, where in ct are you from?
