What Causes Hiccups?
Everyone and their mother seems to have a unique cure for a bad case of the hiccups, but what I want to know is, what causes them in the first place?

Surgery to Get Your Feet Stiletto-Slim?
According to Christian Louboutin, Barbie has cankles — but she's not the only one who needs a makeover to fit her stilettos. Apparently, donning perfectly crafted sky-high heels means women need perfectly re-crafted feet to match. In fact, even while most cosmetic procedures are on the decline — thanks to the recession — podiatrists report that the demand for cosmetic foot surgery is on the rise.
Does the Holiday Season Stress You Out or Make You Happy?
I am hosting Thanksgiving this year, and while I am truly excited to have a house full of family and friends I am already a little stressed.
