A great cream for irritated skin I have always been a huge fan of hand creams, moisturizers and skin peelings of all kinds. I just love the smell of those creams and the way they soften the skin. Even though I hardly have any problems with my skin – nearly no irritations or rashes – it is just so pleasant to apply most of the balms and creams. A couple of days ago, however, I started to have a cold and after a while my nose had become so red and irritated that I decided I had to do something ... continue reading...

Book Reviews: Astray
Astray Author: Emma Donoghue After Room, Donoghue’s bestseller about an abused woman and her child, Astray follows a very different path.

A man’s dirty disgusting feet inches ... continue reading...

Book Reviews: The Passion and the Paradox Marilyn
Marilyn: The Passion and the Paradox Author: Lois Banner The good, the bad and the ugly sums up this rather academic treatise of Marilyn Monroe’s chaotic life. I felt ambivalent about this biography. The feminist slant thrown against a chronology that skips back and forth, and the fact that Banner claims that Marilyn Monroe was a feminist before her time felt false to me. However, the factual dissertation of Marilyn’s life is well done and interesting. I don’t believe that we should ... continue reading...
