They are the largest order of   arachnids   and rank seventh in total species diversity among all other groups of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for   Antarctica . There are many thousand different kinds of spiders. All spiders have eight legs. Most spiders have eight eyes but some have fewer than eight.

Bringing your erotic side to the surface when you're out of bed is the key to being more turned on when you do go skin-to-skin.Here, 17 ways to unleash it.- by Anna Davies-  1. Do your makeup and hair sans clothing. Some good naked time gets you in tune with your body first thing, so you're more aware of the sensations you feel throughout the next 12 hours. 2. Put on a racy bra-and-pantie set to wear to work. Knowing you have a sexy secret switches on the sultry side of your brain. 3. Spray on a perfume you usually wear when you go out with your guy (scent is connected to emotions, so a whiff can bring back memories of hot nights with him). 4. Wear your hair down. Feeling the strands against your face puts you in a more flirtatious than when your hair is pulled into a low-key pony. 5. Have a lust-packed lunch. Magnesium is a lust boosting nutrient; find it in basil, spinach and chocolate. 6. Get a quickie massage at the nail salon. It'll prime your skin for b...

This summer, a mosquito bite maybe a lot worse than annoying. Thanks in part of Climate change helping this bugs breed among us in record numbers. Their itchy, irritating bites and nearly ubiquitous presence can ruin a backyard barbecue or a hike in the woods.

In some cultures and countries, intense body odor is considered to be a desirable characteristic, signifying sexual attractiveness and potency.  Body odor begins with sweat. The body has two types of sweat glands, both of which produce sweat that is made up largely of water. The eccrine glands, which are located on almost every part of the body and the apocrine glands which are located in the armpits, around the nipples and in the groin produce sweat whose function is unclear, it contains a substantial amount of oil, which provides food for bacteria. It's this bacterial feeding frenzy that causes unwelcome odor. Here are 5 deodorizing tips that may help: * Wash problem areas frequently - at least once a day. * Wash your clothing after each wearing. * Try a deodorant. If that doesn't seem to eliminate the problem,...

Few months ago i have this unbearable pain in tooth, it is impossible to ignore. It starts out as a tiny twinge. Then it escalates to a dull ache that comes and goes. Before long, it becomes a sharp pain that won't stop.

Before i meet my Boyfriend in person "since we were in virtual dating" i told him that his coming in the Philippines doesn't mean he will be bound to marry me. I want him to be sure about his feelings towards me as well as mine towards him, because its hard to determine online if the person is telling the truth or not, hard to tell if the person is showing its real personality and characteristic & how the way we handle things together like pressure, anger, etc.. its really different when you actually meet and being with each other for real, so the meeting is all about getting to know each other more, confirming feelings for each other, having fun, enjoy, relax, VACATION... no pressure at all so its a no proposal policy until he get back to the US and take time to think if we really enjoy each others company, if we really love each other, if we really want and need each other.... it is the fairest way i know for the both of us since i don't want to feel obligated ...
