If your boyfriend has a bedroom voice (deep and soulful), then he’ll give you lots of kids if you decide to hook up with him.

Justin Timberlake: His high-pitched voice may be captivating lots of girls but whether he could really "satisfy" them is another matter. But if your boyfriend has a high-pitched voice like that of Justin Timberlake, don’t expect to build a family football team, or even a basketball team. Chances are you’ll only be playing solitaire with him. Previous studies conducted by David Feinberg of McMaster University in Canada have shown that women are more attracted to men ...

Remember this rabbit? Reading has always been a favorite past time of mine. My childhood was spent reading classics, Enid Blyton and all those Nancy Drew books I inherited from my mom. Having playmates weren't my thing and my parents never allowed me to leave the house. However, if there's one thing I'm grateful for, it's that the whole family has a love for books in general. Unlike other kids, I looked forward to reading and writing. Recently, I stumbled upon a blog that suggested reading children's books is also good for adults. According to Jen Robinson's ...

Pregnant moms beware. It is once again proven by Duke University Medical Center investigators that what you eat during your pregnancy does and can have a dramatic effect on the child you're carrying. Smoking, substance abuse and drinking are the most well-known substances that have a direct effect on an infant's health even if it's not yet born. The most recent studies however, show that even the common foods we eat or the chemicals we are exposed to in our daily environment can have a lasting and profound effect on the unborn babies. The researchers found that when the mouse mothers ...

Why Travel?

Posted by Jen as Articles, Lifestyle Features, Lifestyle and Leisure, Travel, Travel Features

From the good old book of words, traveling or to travel is to go from one place to another, as on a trip; a journey. However, we have different reasons, reactions, expectations and experiences when it comes to traveling. In this article, I will neither write about favorite beach getaways nor about rich historical sites. No, there are plenty more opportunities for those. Instead, in this article, I will write about traveling itself. And perhaps one of the most basic questions anyone would ever ask is, “Why travel?” When I was younger, I’ve always thought of traveling as a privilege ...

Have you ever thought about saving money without noticing it? It's simple. Just take a look at some of the less important things in your life and see if you can cut back. 1. Drink more water.

Posted by Brix as Business and Money, Family Features, Lifestyle and Leisure

How do you save money on home food? Here's a set of solid tips. 1. Invest in a good, basic cookbook. There are many cookbooks around which showcase many different ingredients. Focus on one that provides information on cooking using basic ingredients - those which aren't expensive. 2. Invest in a set of good leftover containers and use them. Cooking in bulk gets you multiple meals. This makes cooking more efficient because it saves you time and effort.
