There are a variety of self-tanners on the market. Pick one close to your chest's normal skin tone or one meant to give only a light tan. Pregnant women should not use spray-on tanning products that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA). While this chemical is safe for use on skin, it may be dangerous when inhaled. Use products that come as a lotion or mousse instead. Use an exfoliating product if you wish. Scrub lightly with a washcloth or loofah. Pat dry with a towel. If your stretch marks are dark, apply the tanner to the surrounding skin to even things out. If your stretch marks are light, focus the tanner on the marks themselves. Blend the tanner using your fingers or a washcloth you don't mind staining. Wait at least 10 minutes before putting on any clothing. Be sure to scrub your hands clean immediately to avoid making a mess. Wait another six or more hours before bathing or swimming. Re-apply the tanner daily until your stretch marks are invisible.

Summary: Choose the right self-tanner. Exfoliate your skin in the area where you will apply the self-tanner. Apply the self-tanner as directed. Allow the self-tanner to dry.


Your shower or tub is one of the areas in the bathroom that gets dirty the fastest. If you can get in the habit of cleaning it as you use it, you'll have much less work when you clean the entire bathroom. If there is a ring of film around the tub or any marks on the shower walls or door, use your washcloth and warm, soapy water to remove it, and rinse with water from the tap. Don't get out of the tub or shower without getting rid of that ring. You may want to leave a sponge or scrub brush on a shelf in your shower or tub to help with any stubborn spots that may pop up. It may seem simple, but putting away the items that you use in the bathroom after you're done with them can help keep the space looking tidier. Empty surfaces appear less cluttered, and make it easier to clean. For example, when you're finished brushing your teeth, put your toothbrush back in its holder and place the tube of toothpaste back in the cabinet or drawer. You may want to add some storage options to your bathroom to make it easier to put items away. For example, you may want to put a draw organizer in your vanity drawer to sort cosmetics, or place a caddy in the cabinet beneath the sink to store hair styling products. Just as you probably empty the garbage in your kitchen every night, try to establish the habit of clearing out your bathroom trash daily. That way, it likely won't be overflowing when guests come to visit, and your bathroom will look neater overall. To make sure that you remember to empty the bathroom wastebasket, try to do it at the same that you take out your kitchen trash to establish a set routine.

Summary: Clean out the shower and tub after you use it. Put things away as you use them. Empty the wastebasket at the end of each day.


Your friends may have heard whether the person likes you or not. Even if they haven't, they'll probably be better at guessing than you are. That's only because when it's you in the situation, you have a harder time stepping back and analyzing it, and you may feel a little self-conscious thinking about a girl liking you. Therefore, asking a good friend can help you analyze the situation better. One way to see if a girl likes you is to watch how she treats you on social media. Of course, you first need to friend her. Once you do, watch how she interacts with you. If she seems to pay extra attention to you, she may like you. For instance, maybe she "likes" everything you post or tags you in a number of her posts. For instance, if she writes "Cute!" on a selfie you posted, it may be she's flirting with you. If a girl likes you, she's going to find reasons to be near you. Even if you've never talked to her, you'll look up, and she'll be at the next table in the library or a few benches down at the basketball game. It's not that she's stalking you. Rather, she's probably hoping you'll notice her. This approach may include things like walking through your line of sight or talking to people near you. If you're trying to figure out if someone likes you by analyzing everything she does, she may not be that into you. If someone likes you, you'll generally know it in your gut, with the exception of very shy people. However, if you're not sure, it's always best to give it a shot by talking to her. The worst she can say is "No!" If you notice that she seems to go up and talk to everyone, but avoids talking to you, she may just be nervous about talking to you. In other words, she doesn't talk to you because she likes you, and that makes her scared. Another step you could take is to talk to one of her friends, particularly if you have a class with one of them. A simple, "Hey, you're Jess's friend, right? Can I ask you something? Do you think Jess likes me?" is really all you need. You can also watch how her friends react when you're around the whole group of them, including the girl you like. For instance, they may start whispering to each other, teasing the girl, or even pushing her in your direction.
Summary: Ask your friends what they think. Watch for signs on social media. Notice how often she's around. Pay attention to what your instinct is telling you. Pay attention to when her shyness hits. Use her friends to your advantage.
