Whether you are suffering from sensitive, oily, acne-prone, aging, wrinkling or dry skin, chances are the remedies are at your own home.

Many writers have written their own versions of the boy meets girl story and broken several sale records with it as well.

Packing can be a chore. It’s perhaps the worst part of traveling.

This way they are not only likely to over pack but also miss out on some essential travel buddies. The Week lists a few items that you must have on you when you travel as well as things you can/should do to make your next trip relatively hassle free. Of course, you can live by the mantra that what you don’t pack, you buy – many travelers just take the bare essentials, buying everything they need when they need it – but it’s much easier when you don’t have to run around to find a local store selling what you want the minute you reach your destination.

For as long as I can remember, I have had a particular dislike for the manufactured occasion that is Valentine’s Day and the way it is celebrated or rather, the way we are expected to celebrate it. I wasn’t particularly fond of this day through all the relationships of my younger days and was at best indifferent to it on the occasions that I was single. Being single at least meant that, on that particular day, you could sit and watch the world pass by in a red blur, smug in the knowledge that nothing is expected of you.
