To thread or not to thread... That is the question Lipstick Powder 'n Pain investigates here. We vote for threading. It doesn't pull on your skin or rip off layers like waxing, rather it focuses on individual hairs, pulling them out by the root. It's also a lot faster than plucking. But here's what she thinks...

Your brows are a little unruly, perhaps you notice that horror of...

Baghaus is for the girl who loves the look of designer bags but isn't willing to give up her grocery budget for a month (or several) to pay for one.

The schtik on their website says these aren't your typical knock-off bags you'd find on the street. They are quality well-made handbags that just happen to look like your favourite designer bags - and they do look mighty similar.

You can...

The Amateur Gourmet's trip to San Fransisco as judged by her first meal. A funny read...

The plane left from Kennedy Airport. I bought a muffin near my apartment and, upon arriving at the terminal, decided I'd eat whatever snack they gave me on the plane. Little did I know, American Airlines doesn't give you snacks: they charge you for one of four horrible options. The worst of...

Here's one from ChickAdvisor member, SugarShock.

I love this girl. And these pics of Gwen Stefani in Harper's Bazaar are just divine. She's a chameleon like Madonna, but still always truly Gwen.

While I love her trademark 50s-style pin-up girl red lips, here, in pretty pink (try Chanel Rouge Hydrabase Creme Lipstick in Muse to get the look), she looks soft and lovely, just as...

Looking back, I think there was about a five minute window where I was totally satisfied with my complexion. It started when my teenage skin finally cleared up and ended when I began obsessively searching for the first signs of wrinkles. A cosmetics sales rep once told me that women should start using anti-wrinkle products at age 25 to keep fine lines at bay longer. I had to wonder, was it really...

I'll tell you why I need an hour to shop for groceries, but my husband gets the job done in 15 minutes.

I am an obsessive label reader and food sniffer. I reach way back in the milk cooler to grab the jug with the latest date stamp. I read up on nutrition and watch the experts on the Today Show. I attempt to follow the Food Pyramid guidelines for every meal, even when my family looks on...

An interesting article from WebMD on eating to avoid cancer.

As many as one-third of all cancer deaths could be prevented through good nutrition, physical activity, and being at a healthy weight, experts say.

Everyone knows there are certain foods that are good for your health, and then there are the other foods - the ones we often have a hard time saying no to.

A review of Revlon's Just Bitten Lip Stain from ChickAdvisor blogger, Daily Dose of Coffee...

Just Bitten, how much do I love you? More than my Urban Decay Lip Envy. More than my MAC lipstain. So that is a great deal, indeed.

First, I am a lover of lipstains. I prefer to put a nice stain on my lips once or twice during the day, and just touch up my gloss. This is because I tend to...

A yummy restaurant review from BlogTO.

Finding Mezzetta Restaurant is like stumbling across a hidden treasure... right there in midtown Toronto. Not only does this St. Clair West hideaway offer up great service and irresistible value, they've got a truly original menu you'll be hard pressed to find anywhere else in town.

Here, the cuisine is a little bit Greek, a lot Middle Eastern...
