Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Why celebrities shouldn't be on the news: 1 of 19
Celebrities have their place and they should stay within the realms of TMZ and E! News. But yet we see more and more celebrity news on those channels that used to dedicate their time to sillier things like war, economy, crime and so on. I couldn't believe the amount of air time given to the death of Anna Nicole Smith and her ... More..
Food & Drink > Dining Etiquette Should cell phones be banned in restaurants?: 20 of 207
I have to say that I am torn on this subject. I chose to write for the no side for one simple reason; you can't force people to be respectful! You can only hope for common sense to kick in. First of all there is no reason why a cell phone should be a problem at a sit down restaurant, the only reason cell phones become a nuisa... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Grandparenting Is it asking too much to expect a thank you from a 8-10 year old grandchild?: 3 of 23
"Please" and "Thank You" are two simple pleasantries that most children learn to say soon after their first "Mama" or "Dadda". If children are unfamiliar with the concept of common courtesy, it usually has more to do with parenting than with age. The most important thing we can teach our children is respect. If a child does n... More..
Entertainment > TV Show Reviews Celebrity rehab on TV: Can celebrities recover from addictions while the camera watches?: 2 of 12
Celebrity rehabs may be great for detox, but not so effective when it comes to long term success. The five star spas used as drug rehabilitation for Hollywood A listers are a great place for young stars to relax, unwind and clean out their emaciated bodies for a while. The problem is that the whole experience is no more effec... More..

Ironically, it seems that the only thing you can't do with left over coffee grounds is make coffee! Trying to get two pots out of the same batch of grounds will only be disappointing, sure we're all counting pennies these days but I personally refuse to compromise my morning jolt. But not to worry there are plenty of ways to ... More..
Style & Beauty > Body Care Hair removal: Is shaving OK?: 1 of 4
Hair removal is an obsession for many women. I often wish beauty trends would change, making hairy legs the new black. When it comes to the most common area to remove hair, the legs, shaving is the best way to go. There are many other options on the market but it has been my experience that most if not all of these end up bei... More..
Entertainment > TV Characters & Personalities Superheroes: Superman vs. Batman: 7 of 27
The "Man of Steel" vs. "The Dark Night", I'd like to approach this from a woman's point of view if I may. Both super heroes have obvious good points. Superman has that great hair, and a great body is a must underneath that extremely unforgiving skin hugging suit. On the other hand Batman has his perks as well. Sure you never ... More..
Relationships & Family > Family (Other) The dark side of teens: 4 of 15
Having kids certainly ain't what it used to be. With every generation comes new and terrifying worries. When you decide to have a child you accept that your life will never be the same. From now on you don't matter and your entire world must shift to the needs of your child. This is something that most women welcome for the g... More..
Style & Beauty > Accessories How to dress up a dressed down look with accessories: 2 of 7
Accessories make an outfit. The right accent can mean the difference between plain and played up. The next time you go rummaging through your closet complaining of nothing to wear you may want to look elsewhere for inspiration. Time to start utilizing the other half of your inventory, your accessory box! Even a simple jean an... More..
Relationships & Family > Couple Communication Should a wife tell her husband about her romantic past?: 7 of 23
I believe it is important to share all aspects of your life with your husband or wife. Even if some things may be embarrassing or sensitive. It is difficult to understand a person if you are unaware of their past. We may think that we have put all of our romantic conquests behind us but in truth we carry them through our live... More..
