Tasting lemon, vanilla and mocha cupcakes at Dessert Club ChikaLicious

Last night I tasted cupcakes from two places, one of them being Dessert Club ChikaLicious in the East Village. I’ve tried most of the cupcakes at most New York City bakeries and while I have my favorites, am always on the lookout for something new. I found it at ChikaLicious (will just call it that for shorthand)

Hair-Shooting Tarantula Gets Revenge on Owner

Pop quiz: What are urticating hairs? ( polls ) If you answered A without checking out the Wiki page , I’m going to go out on a limb and say that you already read about the man in Leeds, England, who was cleaning his tarantula’s tank when he was shot in the face with urticating hairs early last year. The incident left the man with a red, watery, and light-sensitive eye for months, and now doctors are urging people to wear eye protection when handling their spiders.

Genealogy of Perfumes – Chypre perfume

http://bourtononthewater.info/genealogy.html Perfumes – just like food, music or wine – can be classified into groups, and this gives you a framework which is very useful when choosing a perfume for yourself or for others. Without it, describing fragrances is difficult. Imagine going into a shop to buy some music, and not knowing the difference between Pop, Classical and Jazz – you would have quite a problem! Chypre.

Give Your Style A Sustainable Makeover And Resolve To Be Green In 2010!

Okay, so in the past you may have opted to take your car to the corner Starbucks instead of trekking the required block on-foot. You may have thrown a water bottle or two in the trash when there wasn’t a conveniently-placed recycle bin right next to it.
