Disney's "A Little Mermaid" was one of our favorite childhood movies. It had suspense, a strong heroine, and lots of cute little sea critter friends, but we have to admit one of the biggest reasons we were crushing on the flick was because of Ariel's drop dead gorgeous beauty. With pouty red lips, a soft flush and gigantic eyes that were always interested and responsive, Ariel had brains and beauty; the whole package.
Paul shows us how to make a gigantic three dimensional five-point star out of paper. First, glue A4 sized paper together to make a long strip. Make a U-shape on one end, cross the shorter end under the strip and make a knot by placing the end into the loop. The knot now looks like a pentagon.

Press the centre on each side of t...

Peaches—to peel, or not to peel? For some, it's not a question at all. The fuzz on the outside of the fruit is enough to turn some off to it completely, even though the peel doesn't have a bitter taste.

It's a rare person who enjoys swallowing pills—and equally rare to find those who can toss a pill back easily and effortlessly without gulps of water and coughs. The transition from liquid medicine to pills, tablets, and capsules can be a rough one, and some of us still struggle well into our adult lives.

The original Kit Kat was a mutton pie served at a political club in London during the 18th century, which is quite different than the chocolatey version we're familiar with today.

Whenever you attend or remotely watch a major Apple event, you're likely to see Phil Schiller, the company's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, unveiling a brand new product on stage. Outside of an official event, Schiller is the second most likely person (after Apple's CEO Tim Cook) you'll find delivering a rare tidbit of new Apple info or perspective to the public.

We pride ourselves on being fair in our reviews and roundups, but that doesn't mean we don't have preferences.
