Do Your Hands Make You Look Older?

I found a great article about caring for your hands and wanted to share it with all of my readers. There are some things in it that I'll bet you never thought of using to moisturize your hands. I can't wait to give a few of these tips a try. Enjoy!

I am about to make a shameful admission. I secretly wish I was a man.

It isn`t because I have penis envy or despise being a woman. I actually love being female. I like wearing skirts and having breasts, and knowing that I`ll be able to push out a kid someday. I even like having doors opened for me, and getting flowers now and again. But I envy men.

My secret desire to be a man is a little disheartening because I ...

IMBB 17: TasteTea Roundup Part III

Twenty-one stops into our tasteTea tour around the world, you may think that we've seen it all. But in reality, we still have sixty-nine more places to go to, and much, much more to see. Before leaving Singapore, we make sure to visit Colin of Only Slightly Pretentious Food to indulge in his Mango and Green Tea Sorbet. The bittersweet combination of green tea and mango purée is delicious, and is matched only by its vibrant orange colour.

IMBB 17: TasteTea Roundup Part II

We continue our tasteTea trek around the world back in my home town of Toronto, Canada, where my friend Renée is waiting to serve us her Earl Grey Mixed Berries Cake (which I had the pleasure of tasting). The tea makes her cake wonderfully aromatic, and the baked berries in the centre lend moisture to the dense exterior. Although she doesn’t have her own blog, it was Renée’s passion for tea that inspired me to choose this month’s ...

IMBB 17: TasteTea Roundup Part I

It was a tea party to remember. Ninety wonderful participants and over a hundred tasteTea dishes! As the entries poured in, my eyes were opened to a world I’d never known – cooking with tea? I barely even knew it existed until this year. But now there are dozens of tea-based dishes that I can’t wait to try. Thanks to everyone who participated in this month’s Is My Blog Burning? event. I was truly amazed by ...

Who Is The Addict?

Kristen Kelly, aka the Beauty Addict, is a little obsessed with makeup (although this is probably an understatement). She got her first lipstick as a very small girl, and experienced early on the pain of loss when the lipstick was left in the pocket of her school uniform and then laundered, turning everything a lovely shade of hot pink (it was the '80s).

Her first job, back in high school, was at a cosmetics and ...

Oolong Smoked Quail (IMBB 17)

My kitchen is empty and its cupboards are bare. Today I’ll be moving into an apartment with a sparkling new kitchen, but yesterday I feasted on tea-smoked quail. The dish was very much an experiment for me; I had never cooked quail, tea, or smoked food of any kind before, so I was unsure of what to expect.
