I need girl advice but if there's a guy out there that can help too…your advice is welcome?

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

VITAMIN Pills?

VITAMIN Pills?
Ok, So I bought these vitamin pills (Centrum Multi-Vitamin). I am a college student who is living on campus, and I just absolutely hate the food options. So I keep eating the same thing everyday...Because of this I am not getting the right vitamins, and I am noticing changes in my body...For example, I have noticed that my nails are changing color..(they are getting brown streaks in them....it's quite unattractive)....What I want to know is If I start taking the pills now...will I see a difference in my nails by summer....(I'm concerned because all I wear in the summer is sandals and open toe shoes)....And I don't like dark nail polish....

Thank You

I'm trying to grow my nails out, but they always break..any suggestions?

I quit biting my nails forever ago, but it seems like every time my nails grow out to a decent length, they break right at the side, so even if I file them down, they're short again. I've tried strengthening nail polish, and I'm taking vitamins. Any products I could buy, or preferably a home remedy? Thank you.
=/ I actually can't stand to drink water. But I'll start putting lotion and warm water on them. I use a little lotion sometimes, but not consistently.

I cannot stop biting my nails?

my mom is a nail tech and she tells i should not have this bad of nail beds at such a young age, but i do and i cannot stop biting my nails! fake nails do not work, i tend to bite them off. and when my nails do grow, they are usually so brittle, they break..nail polish does not work neither does that nasty tasting nail polish. i really don't know what to do. i bought prenatal vitamins just because i heard it might work...does anyone else have anymore solutions?
