Fish Pedicures?By Editor - June 30th, 2010 |
 |
|
I heard about this new service is being offered in spas around the world, it’s a fish pedicure. Yes, you read it right, a FISH pedicure. Basically, this involves people willingly soaking their feet in a tank full of tiny Garra fish (also known as Doctor Fish) with the idea that these fish eat dead skin off one’s feet, and leave the healthy skin untouched, the end result, extremely soft feet. |

[Opinion Piece] Honour KillingsBy Editor - June 21st, 2010 |
![[Opinion Piece] Honour Killings](http://ctya.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/asqa-parvez.jpg) |
|
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about honour killings. I think it was because of the murder of 16-year old Aqsa Parvez, who was killed by her brother and father. An honour killing is the murder of a family (usually a female) by one or more fellow (mostly male) family members. The murder is carried out because they believe the victim has brought dishonour upon the family, and murdering is more honourable than letting them live. There is the idea that when you do kill a member who has brought up dishonour, you somehow are able to purify the family’s reputation. |

What’s your sleep position got to say about you?By Editor - June 10th, 2010 |
 |
|
Do you sleep on your back, your stomach, or your side? A recent study by sleep expert Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, suggested a correlation between six common sleeping positions and the personality traits of the sleepers themselves. Preferred sleeping positions are seen as a sort of subconscious body language that reflects our inner traits. The study was commissioned by a large hotel group. |

I thought this was such a cute story. It’s from the Toronto Star. This couple let 15 years ago,and started dating, but only recently did they realize that they actually met years ago in Disney World as kids. The child in the stroller is actually the present husband of the girl in the front, and this realization wasn’t made until when the couple joined Facebook and posted this picture. It’s such a cute story, miracles do happen. =) |
