Full extensions
Jennifer Lopez's luscious locks look like they've taken months, if not years, to cultivate but here's her secret: hair extensions.

Steroids not to be sniffed at
Every day, I see patients with nasal obstruction, runny nose or nasal discharge, postnasal drip and throat irritation with or without a cough.

Stand by your man
For 10 years, Fong Kit's response to everything was "never mind," "it doesn't matter" or "not at all." The reclusive Fong shared his thoughts with no one, and nobody knew what excited him or made him sad.
