LadyDulce I've only ever worn falsies once, for Halloween. I hated it so much, I took them off within the hour, lol. I will occasionally wear mascara, but my lashes are already plenty long and black enough not to really need mascara. If I want the fake look, mascara...

Is it odd that he likes Whitney Houston?

bingskee @bingskee (5234) • Philippines 12 Feb 12

My 19 yr old son is a fan of Whitney Houston. He was saddened by the news of her death. It was such a puzzle for him that her career had to go down because of doing drugs when she had almost everything. Some find it odd that he...

LadyDulce I absolutely do NOT think it's odd. Whitney Houston was one of the most phenomenal vocalists of our time, so she understandably has a wide audience. Alanis Morisette is also amazing, right along with Amy Winehouse. Broad musical tastes should be a point of...

Which is easier - knitting or crochet?

Elizabeth White @Masihi (4413) • Canada 25 Sep 11

I'm wondering this because I just know the basic stitches of both crochet and knitting, but personally I'm thinking knitting is easier to get a handle of, but on the other hand, crochet seems to be easier to make simple projects...

LadyDulce My mother taught me two basic stitches as a child, and I taught myself the rest. I've only recently learned to knit, but I do think it's easier as far as complexity goes. The multiple needles are a drawback, especially since I'm a scatterbrained mama, lol. I...

Do you spend that much for a Christmas gift?

bingskee @bingskee (5234) • Philippines 2 Dec 11

Recently, I wrote a hub entitled Saving Tips for the Budget to Work this Christmas. It is all about how to work on your budget for the gifts because as I said, at present it is necessary to find ways to save. Previously, I...

LadyDulce I don't usually spend much money on gifts, since it's not the item, but the act itself and the thought behind it which ought to be the focus. But I do like to get everyone something tailored specifically to the recipient - something that shows forethought and...

Do you religiously put up a Christmas tree for the holidays?

bingskee @bingskee (5234) • Philippines 26 Nov 11

I put up Christmas trees every Christmas season. It is actually a tiring activity to put up a Christmas tree especially that our Christmas tree is 6-ft high. Until now I have not put up the Christmas tree. I am still having...

How to get a fair white skin?

LadyDulce What's wrong with freckles? I think they're gorgeous! My mother, who was darker than I, had then liberally sprinkled all over her nose and cheekbones. I'm beginning to see more and more myself, but it works. Any skin lightening or bleaching cream is going to...

I need help with styling my tough hair!

SilverSnow @SilverSnow (45) • United States 26 Sep 11

I have a medium length afro that's too heavy to stand so it droops over that I can't do anything with! I got a relaxer in it years ago and it damaged my hair so badly that I had to shave it off and regrow it. Now it's longer than...

LadyDulce Try nappturality.com! Instead of wrestling with picks and combs, try finger-detangling with a good conditioner - Suave's products are cheap and effective, but Garnier Fructis also has some great products. Keep hydrated inside and out and be as gentle with your...

Do you wear fake lashes?

enelym001 @enelym001 (8322) • Philippines 13 Nov 11

I find people with long eyelashes to be pretty/handsome. When I was in highschool I sometimes hope that I have such lashes. 'Though there are plenty of fake lashes out in the malls, I have never tried wearing one, even if it's my...

LadyDulce NO! False lashes scare the crap out of me, lol. I also think they're usually unnecessary - my lashes are perfectly fine the way they grow naturally thank you. An occasional swipe of mascara is the most I'll do.

LadyDulce I love to cook! I've been doing it since I was tall enough to peer over the stove and flip pancakes. It's really not difficult at all, as long as you keep balance in mind. Smell and taste EVERYTHING before mixing them together. If it doesn't smell right, then...

It will be a different Christmas preparation

bingskee @bingskee (5234) • Philippines 18 Nov 11

The past few years of preparing for the Christmas celebrations had me exhausted and flaccid after the season. The season left me useless. I tired easily that words departed from me. To my frustration I even wrote a blog post about...

LadyDulce Usually, this is the one time of the year that my energy level is at a pretty constant high, beginning with Samhain and ending with New Year's celebrations. I love the gift-giving, food preparation, decorating, hosting, and general jollity of the season!

The dead deserves respect

bingskee @bingskee (5234) • Philippines 29 Oct 11

In the Philippines, November 1 is a legal holiday. It is a day intended for Filipinos to go to cemeteries and offer flowers and light candles for the dead. Personally, I believe that the dead, would not know anymore, these...

LadyDulce Here in Texas, a good amount of folks celebrate Dia de los Muertos, Day of the Dead, on November 1st and 2nd. I think most cultures have some form of acknowledgement for the dead, like All Saint's Day. It's a good time to remember your history and pass it down...

Will you oblige your child (ren) to share with the home expenses?

bingskee @bingskee (5234) • Philippines 14 Oct 11

In the Philippines, it is a common scenario that children are obliged to share in the household expenses. Children who have graduated from high school or college and was able to get a job should or must help in the household...

LadyDulce Any child who is old enough to work, is old enough to contribute to the household expenses. That's just the way things are. An adult child will pay rent enough to cover the utilities and food, and will also take a turn in the care and maintenance of the...

Her mother's lover is her boyfriend's uncle

Ice Tea or Iced Tea?

bingskee @bingskee (5234) • Philippines 20 Sep 11

Some say there is no difference, but there is. I do not want to sound like a guru. It just don't sound or read right to me. The tea is the subject or the object, and 'iced' is the adjective, as I see it. If...

LadyDulce I think it's a regional thing. Like for soft drinks, some people say "tonic", "soda", "pop", "soda pop", "fizz", etc. Simply a matter of preference. I sometimes say icetea and sometimes iced tea.

LadyDulce If it was staged and no one's personal property was damaged without consent, he probably wouldn't have had any negative backlash. If he had actually crushed someone's car without their consent, he would have had quite a few legal issues to handle and probably...

LadyDulce It's an ethical thing, like any other relationship between a superior and inferior. It opens the door to accusations of favoritism and a lot of other nasties. Once she's no longer his student, then it's fine.
