Your Veggie Choice?
A recent article in Time magazine discusses the statistics on vegetarians. It goes a little something like this. According to a 2005 CBS News story, the number of ex-vegetarians outnumbers the number of vegetarians, suggesting 75% return to eating meat. A survey by Hal Herzog and Morgan Childers states that most of these ex-vegetarians are [...]
She washes her hair every day but she still eats the damn cake!!
So here’s the thing. You wash your hair every day cos if you don’t you’re gonna look more like the girl who stepped out of a chip shop and less like a girl who stepped out of a salon, you dig! Not washing your hair has an immediate consequence, so you deal with it day [...]

How do you want to grow yours?
That is soooo last season!!
Now then, I know the argument about organic veggies not having any more nutrients than non-organic veggies.

Vodka and Redbull Anyone?
Shudder, I’m not gonna lie, during my university days, vodka and redbull was my drink of choice at about 2am, just to give me that boost at the end of the night! Downing copious amounts of sambuca was also quite prolific, so it can be said that my alcohol choices have become much more refined [...]
