Now that Holy Horror’s been announced, I’m at work on my next book based on horror movies. Although some people might question the aesthetic of the horror genre, these films are sometimes remarkably intelligent and can indeed be good cinema. Having spent the better part of last weekend watching multiple flicks, however, I’ve come to realize that watching films for research is quite different than viewing them for fun. We all know the feeling of going to the theater to be exposed to the mythology... Читать дальше...

Jovees Fairness and Glow Mini Facial Kit Review

Today I'm going to review the Jovees mini facial kit which I got from a beauty shop a week back. My busy schedule wasn't giving me enough time to do my facial and hence last night no matter how tired I was, I knew I am going to pamper myself with this exquisite facial and then only perhaps go to sleep. Mini facial kits can be easily used at home as per your convenience and you can judge how much quantity you would like to use at once. Markets... Читать дальше...

Interesting work from Hackel and Zaki...an excerpt from their introduction, followed by their abstract: Reciprocity and reputation are cornerstones of both evolutionary accounts of prosociality and evidence-based policy suggestions for amplifying cooperation on a large scale.

Having recently been hand-picked by Frank Turner to play a Last Minutes show at his Lost Evenings festival, China Bears have released another fine indie-pop tune n the shape of ‘Night Calls’ – and it’s a hair-raising anthem tinged with regret.

Ivan Proctor states how ‘You think I don’t recognize your heartbreak through that smile’ and ‘Why am I so far away. I want to be by your side like you were there by mine’ over bewitching hooks before the melodic Magic... Читать дальше...

Come to think about it, I have not done any frosted cupcakes for a long time.   When Bake Along published this recipe, I wanted to participate but since upon doctor's instruction, I am not supposed to do prolong standing or walking so I had to abort the thoughts.
Anyway, enough of resting, today I finally get to try it.  This Coconut Chiffon Cupcake with Pandan Buttercream.

Findings: The cupcake texture is soft and cottony.  Unlike many who attempted it, I did not get a ...

Wondering whether you can transform your body from fat to fit without going to the gym? Well, certainly you can. I am aware that there could be thousands (perhaps more) of reasons for your reluctance to go to the gym. Perhaps you are too busy, or gyms are expensive or maybe you just hate the company of strangers. But you must not let these petty excuses prevent you from having a healthy and toned body.

Today we’re sharing with you the beautiful wedding of Valeria and Ruslan! The couple chose to seal their love in the beautiful island of Crete with a greenery background and vivid colors. For the decoration they preferred a Greece inspired theme with olive tree garlands and white roses. The gorgeous scene was completed with some hanging fairy lights that created a perfect romantic and warm atmosphere. As the time passes, the scenery was becoming more and more magical… Just like a fairytale!

Say we’re doing something touristy and I’m there. I love getting to spend the day sightseeing or hunting down the best museums in my city. I’ve heard one too many born and bred Londoners question why you would, when you live here. My answer…to appreciate it. To see the beautiful sights and perhaps learn something new. There’s so much to see. Why would you not want to go out and explore more when you live here? Make the most of it. I really ...

I recently had the good fortune to attend the Longines FEI World Cup Jumping and FEI World Cup Dressage Finals in Paris – which was RIGHT up my street! My formative years were spent living on a farm in the rural south of Sweden, and as a young child (then into my teens) I was a so-called ‘stable girl’, as my friends and I would spend all of our free time in the stables, combing the horses hair, cleaning their boxes and of course ...

The Handmaid’s Tale:  2x01 June.

This immediate thing, about this show: how close this horror feels. A constant tension, a constant feeling of dread, a perpetual sense that the worst is just about to happen, and how it isn’t, or at least, shouldn’t, be a relief that it happens to someone else. To be a woman in Gilead is to endure, to suffer, to wait – but also, to see others suffer, and maybe be grateful ...

Republicans are running scared of the 2018 congressional election, and that has resulted in a record number of them deciding to retire instead of running for re-election. That fear is justified, and it's charts like the one above that's fueling their fear. The source for the chart is the New York Times.

The Republicans were proud of themselves for passing their tax law, and they believed it would be the vehicle that saved them in the 2018 congressional elections. But something is happening that those Republicans didn't count on. The voters see the truth about that new tax law.

Republicans (and Trump) loved to call their plan a middle class tax cut, and promised Americans that the biggest beneficiaries of the tax cuts would be the ...
