Where Are The Calorie Guides on Long Island?

I never really thought that much about my hair. I have curly hair and my maintenance consisted of washing, conditioning, a little gel and then that was it. I would shake it out and go. I wouldn't even dry it, even in the cold weather. The only time I thought...
Only Have A Few Days in Bermuda?
Bermuda… a land of paradise – beautiful pink coral beaches, turquoise water and houses painted tropical colors. After a few days in Bermuda, I came back totally relaxed. I don’t know if it was the smell of the salt air or just the fact that I was away from it...
