Winterizing Your Piercings

Winterizing Your Piercings Depending on which hemisphere you live in, the weather may be turning cold and snowy. While this may be something you look forward to or something you dread, if the weather report is calling for snow…. it’s time to winterize! Your piercings, that is. First of all, metal conducts cold.

World Peace Day: Shaping the New Face of Youth Culture As some of you may not be aware, I’ll start by saying that today is an unofficial Holiday simply called World Peace Day. I say unofficial, because the Holiday itself appears to be a grassroots movement gently set into motion by a single individual: Don Morris, or as he has come to be known in recent years, “Peace Guy.” Don’s idea was simple. He wanted to create a day of celebration, learning, hope, and perhaps most of all change, in an attempt to end the less savory aspects of human […]
