I do not have OCD but sometimes I think that I just might have a tendency for it. I have to wash my hands every so often – I just don’t like the idea that I have germ-laden hands because I pressed a button on the elevator or touched a door knob. Anyway, I do have fixed ideas about which things/places are full of germs. You probably think the same way. But you might be surprised to find out about certain things at home ...

On December 10, 2009, Michelle gave birth to Josie Brooklyn. She was born prematurely, at only 25 weeks’ gestation. The much awaited birth of the Duggars’ 19th child was a mixture of ...
Last year, the popularity of social networks reached astonishing heights. All over the world, it seemed that everyone suddenly decided to join one social network or another.

Did you know that sales figures show (consistently) that during a bad economic period, more cosmetic products are sold than usual? These figures also show that after a tragedy occurs in an area, sales also increase.
What can we gather from this information? Just as Leonard Lauder said, tough times equate to a higher demand for beauty products. If that name sounds familiar, it is because the guy is the chairman of Estee Lauder, perhaps one of the most known brands in the beauty industry.

I have been craving salty food all week. This is nothing new – every time my period is due to arrive, I find myself yearning for all sorts of salt-laden food. For the most part, though, I am quite conscious of ingesting too much sodium so I know I am okay in this respect. But am I, really?
According to experts, there are some food items that are packed with sodium and many people are not aware of that. Here’s an example: canned soup, canned ...
Not everyone feels discontent. In fact, I know some people who would say that there is nothing they would want to change in their lives right now. However, I know a whole lot more of people who want to change their lives for the better – that includes me.
I have found a new “hero” in Ellen Welty, who wrote the article “12 Questions that will change your life.” I seriously had to sit here and think for a very long time as ...

By now, you have probably heard about the “real iPhone killer.” Technology giant Google has been dabbling in the mobile phone market in the recent years and the release of their Nexus One phone has got technophiles all over the world really excited. Yours truly is actually thinking of getting her hands on one within the month. In the past three days, all I have been doing is looking up information on the Nexus One.
Today, I started having second thoughts about getting a unit as ...
The popular singing contest is back on air, much to the delight of its ardent followers. This season is a very important one for American Idol as it seems to be a defining period. For one, longtime judge Paula Abdul exited the stage after the previous season. Various celebrities guested as judges and now it is Ellen Degeneres who has taken Paula’s place permanently.
Now it seems that American Idol is to be dealt another blow: judge Simon Cowell is leaving after this season! The ...
