I am 17 and my mom never did the motherly thing and inform me about taking care of myself. I have so many questions and I need an internet mama to help me 
And so my many questions begin and a nice detailed answer is what I am looking for…and I’m looking for someone that can answer any of my future questions too.
I need advice…help on what to do to get and maintain healthy and soft skin. This also ties in with shaving. O.o How do you shave "correctly"? I mean how do I keep from getting razor burns or bumps? Speaking of bumps…how do I smooth down skin? Oh another shaving related question: Yah what should I shave with…soap, a special gel and how often should I shave? How do I choose a razor?
Another thing that I am completely unaware of is healthy nails. I heard somewhere that nail polish is bad for them. Is that true? How do I maintain healthy skin around my nails and keep my nails from cracking (not that they are….ok maybe a little)?
I’m 4 foot 9 and a 100 pounds. What weight should I be…to be considered healthy? And how do I work on building muscle (just a little…nothing tacky) and losing fat? I also want to shape up my booty. Lol. What sports should I get involved in? Like right now I’m into bicycle riding. How many times a week should I ride and for how long? I want to work hard without pushing my self past that limit….enough to help me get fit!
What should my diet be? I dislike chocolate….a lot. I’m weird like that. Lol. And I’m not so much for oily foods but sometimes I feel like my parents don’t know what else to cook. What can I do and what kind of foods should I eat? What kind of vitamins and proteins should I be consuming? O.o Would that One Women’s Daily pill work? I don’t know if substitutes are best? How much water a day should I be drinking?
How do I take care of my face? What should I wash with and what should I look out for? Is it ok to wash my face with regular soap?
How do I get my hair to soften? To me, it feels like straw. And right now I’m using Suave shampoo and conditioner. What else can I use?
Please help me internet mama. I need to create a healthy lifestyle.
Wow. There’s so much good advice! <3

1) You shave bottom to top on your legs and top to bottom on your private. I would suggest that you use skintimate shave gel its moisturizes and reduces razor burn.i would shave every time you start to get prickly again. I just do a quick shave every time i take a shower so i never have to worry about it. If you want smooth skin you need to get a moisturizing lotion and apply it once or twice a day.
2) Nail polish isn’t bad but nail polish remover does dry out your skin so try to avoid that. While you moisturize your legs you should moisturize your hands as well.
3) Your at a good weight your normal for 17 you should be in the 100’s. While working out don’t just focus on your but cause you have a lot of other muscles you should do cardio, legs, arms, stomach, and your butt. I would suggest sit ups and squats. Bicycle riding is good just ride as much as you can to make it more fun ask your friends to tag along. Start of small and Work your way up.
4) You should eat veges and fruits eat organic food. Don’t drink soda because the sugars aren’t good for you so replace soda with juice. At vitamin world they have vitamins specifically for teens go there and ask a worker about them get information ask him what he thinks is best. Your expose to drink up to 8 or 10 glasses of water a day. Water is very important in a diet so make sure you keep drinking it.
5) You need to get face wash regular soap will not clean as deep as a scrub. You should clean your face every morning and every night. Get face wash soon regular soap cannot be good for your face.
6) Suave is not a good shampoo i used to use it and it dried out my hair i would suggest either the pink sunsilk or tresemme anti breakage shampoo and conditioner. it works great.
