By Sally Norton When they need to move, a great majority of people focus intensively on planning each and every step of the relocation process carefully and in detail.

Have you seen Nick Jr’s new show, the 44 cats? This Italian show (“44 Gatti”) for Nickelodeon, is now a hit show for children everywhere. Showing the adventures of four kittens who make up a musical group called `The Buffycats’ (reminds me of Josie and the Pussycats from Archie). With loads of music, adventure and friendship, the little kittens are a cute show for any kid and for any age, even if it was made for preschoolers. Fun…

How I love to work with my dear Aussies! There isn’t a single product that I get from Australia, either for home or to travel, or fashion or beauty products that I don’t like.

(*wink*) And here is one product that I never thought about it, but after I got…
Objectifying definition: “degrade to the status of a mere object.” Our world has changed. Things are now taking a turn that everyone speaks about things that in the 80’s or 90’s were hidden, but thank goodness, people are now talking. Bullying is now a battle, still exists and many will turn the back or eyes to it, but it still happens but many are taking the internet to have a voice and push forward laws about it. BUT… what…
