October 16, 2009

As you know, there are many, many risk factors that contribute to the likelihood of you getting breast cancer.  Number one is still supposed to be genetics, since there are genetic markers that can make you several times more predisposed to getting this common cancer, although I still believe personally that lifestyle and diet habits [...]

Cleavage in a Wedding Dress, Classy or No?

October 1, 2009

My fiance loves it when I wear anything that shows a little bit of that peekaboo cleavage.  He always asks me why I don’t dress up that way more often and why I don’t wear even more low cut tops, and I always reply with the same response.  I don’t like to look like I’m [...]
