Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Lies: 23 of 174

They don't match and I know there's a falsehood.I want to believe but I know what I see.It does not match what you say.I have seen you lie to others and I hav... More..
Style & Beauty > Hair Color & Coloring Tips for coloring your hair with henna: 1 of 7
An all-natural hair dye that doesn't injure the hair, but conditions and protects it? Hard to believe, but henna is an herb that has been used as a hair conditioner and colorant for millenia.

Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Celebrity commentary: Perez Hilton, love him or hate him?: 1 of 7
I LOVE ME SOME PEREZ! Using Perez's slangy style of quips, I now voice my affection for the gutsiest guy on the Web.

Travel > United States Festivals and events in Table Rock Lake, Missouri: 1 of 5
Table Rock Lake is beautiful. This Corp of Engineers impoundment is breathtaking, surrounded by towering bluffs and filled with crystal-clear water. The water is so clear that fishermen must use special lures and line to fool the fish. But there is more to the Table Rock area, if the scenery isn't enough. There are so many fe... More..

Choosing a fish tank is exactly like choosing any other pet. It is a semi-permanent responsibility in a home. It will need work on an ongoing basis. And it will be incredibly interesting.

It is one of my favorite crafts because it is easy to do, can be done almost anywhere, and creates terrific results. The quilled pieces can be quite impressive-looking much more difficult than they were to make."Quilling" is also called "paper... More..
