    What Are Your Thoughts On This?

    The jewelry doesn't actually scream "peasant" to me but "Orientalism". It's basically a diadem, worn throughout time in various Middle Eastern cultures. If you look at old photos of Mata Hari, you'll often see similar jewelry items. They're also popular among belly dancers.

    To wax or not to wax ????

    epilators? Hello ladies, I have a question for those of you who epilate... Do you have any tips for what to look for in an epilator or usage tips? I just got an Emjoi epilator with 21 tweezer heads and gave it a try. I don't feel like it works very well! I'm following the instructions - I'm...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    They might look clunky and incongruous, but that may be something that will work with your style! Not really knowing you or having ever seen you, that's not something I can say :) I was going to suggest looking at Danskos, actually. They have cute maryjane styles that may have a more...

    Funny, I was just thinking the same thing.

    Can smoking be good for you?

    Here is an example: all 50 US states have passed legislation requiring a "fire-safe" additive - to prevent people falling asleep and burning their houses down. If you drive 4 hours north of here to Quebec, you can buy Camels that not only do not have this additive, but also taste dramatically...

    Can smoking be good for you?

    First of all, not "everyone smokes like chimneys". The statistics I've seen show that roughly 30-35% of French smoke, while roughly 25% of Americans smoke (with the number dropping). You are correct that it's significantly more, but it's certainly not everyone, and while many there do smoke...

    The History/Evolution of Birth Control *Ladies Only*

    The pill will never be banned, nor should it be - and women will fight tooth and nail to maintain their choice in this matter. As evidenced here, it can have a lot of negative effects, but it also has a lot of positive effects for people, and it's each individual's choice to weigh those...

    Shame on me, but I need a bottled mix or two

    It's soooo easy to make pina coladas without a mix. Pineapple juice + rum + cream of coconut. For something like that, it'd be way easier to just mix on the spot or better yet, make the mix before hand and pour it into a pitcher. Cheaper, also.

    Recently won these earrings on Ebay! I have the matching necklace and have been looking for these earrings forever! I was amazed at how many bids there were and how high the price went for a simple pair of costume earrings, but I paid very little for the necklace - and hopefully this demand...

    Can smoking be good for you?

    I quit smoking a year ago after smoking 1/2 a pack to a pack a day for almonst 20 years. I have never regretted it and feel great. Obviously, everyone has different reactions to it and while you can smoke and be incredibly physically fit, that still doesn't mean that you aren't doing your body...

    The History/Evolution of Birth Control *Ladies Only*

    Me too! Fortunately, I do not notice huge blood glucose swings with my period. Are you on a pump? If not, I would highly suggest considering one. A pump would be an easy way to deal with the blood sugar swings throughout your cycle, as you can easily program your insulin dosages to...

    Yes, apparently you just use a small bit of sea sponge (dampen it first). It's apparently barely detectable for your partner as well. You can often buy sea sponges for internal use at whole foods markets. I have several friends who have recently gotten IUDs and they all love them.

    Sea sponges are also an effective means of having sex while menstruating - without the mess. The coil is nothing more than an IUD. Mirena is an IUD treated with slow-release hormones.
