ACTIVE POLLS
ends on 12/9/2012
It's not often I get inspired to make a dish after watching a celebrity chef whip it up on TV. Especially when said cooking star is Sandra Lee, who's best known for her "semi-homemade" style of cooking, which relies heavily on pre-packaged products instead of fresh items. (Today)
As thousands of students reach their high school years, levels of stress continue to increase. This is especially true for females; in my school, when I took a survey of 24 students (a group of 12 boys and 12 girls) that asked them if high school is stressful for them, 11 out of the 12 girls responded "yes," while only 50 percent of boys seem to let high school bog down their spirits. (Today)
The Big Apple will get a bit busier when the who's who of the fashion world descend on Lincoln Center Thursday for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, eight days of runway shows and presentations previewing the trends that will make a splash in stores next fall and winter. (Yesterday)

Help your honey smell extra sweet as you're snuggling cheek to cheek this Valentine's Day with fragrances for him and her. There are many new scents on the market this month, as well as new places to purchase some longtime favorites. So rather than -- or in addition to? -- the usual candygram, give a gift that will last a bit longer and that you both can enjoy, without the calorie guilt. (Yesterday)
