When I get stressed out one of the first things I do (after eating all the junk food within a 2 mile radius) is start biting my nails. They are never safe! I am a massive fan of the program Criminal Minds and almost every week I find myself unconsciously biting on my nails during the...

Eyebrows Love ‘em or hate ‘em we’ve all got ‘em…although some of us have more than others! But I must say I am confused by the latest craze in brows, the ‘Scouse Brow’. What is it with Scouse brows? I don’t get it, I’ve spent most of my life trying to carefully match the...
