Winterfest in Berkley is back for a 2nd year of free winter family fun on January 28th, 2012. Berkley's Winterfest is a great way to celebrate Michigan winter with many events and activities.

Winterfest events and activities include:

The mild Michigan weather this winter is delaying the winter fun or canceling many metro Detroit winter festivals altogether. The Winter Bliss Festival at Kensington Metropark in Milford has been canceled due to the warm weather and Winter Family Fun Day at Beverly Park in Beverly Hills has also been scrapped for 2012.

Hippo's Hot Dogs restaurant has been around for decades in their Troy, Michigan location. Chances are if you live anywhere close to Hippo's, you already know all about it.

One has to wonder with the bullying battles teens face each day, would a teen go as far as getting a plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery procedure with hopes of safe-guarding oneself against the threat of bullying? Are teens pursuing plastic surgery options like Rhinoplasty for medical reasons or cosmetic reasons? Are more teens chasing unrealistic expectations of a perfect body image through cosmetic surgery?

Recent research suggests a decrease in the overall number of cosmetic (aesthetic) plastic surgeries among teenagers (those 18 and younger), according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).**
