Hi Katie, you're right about such drinks being pick-me-ups. I'm amazed how quickly fruit gives you energy. :-)

Puréed Fruit Cocktail with Honey and Mint
Hi Roohi, you can try this recipe with 2 one-inch slices of fresh pineapple and the juice of one lime instead of the 2 kiwi fruits. (Just posted it above.) If you don't include the avocado, then to better absorb the vitamins just eat something ...

The Fantastic Health Benefits of White Tea
Hi Roohi, I knew about white tea being even richer in antioxidants than green or black tea, but didn't know it could lower bad cholesterol and control blood sugar. I've been meaning to look closely into the health benefits of green, black, and ...

Honeymoon Cruises. Is a honeymoon cruise right for us?

Creative Writing: Fan Fiction Versus Original Stories
That is so much easier, I agree! But it's the restrictive nature which has me fascinated with fan fiction, because it's a challenge. Writing stories just as they download is certainly the way forward, if you want to publish though. :)

Sleeping Beauties: The Victorians and Post-Mortem Photography
