Hats off to Steve Jobs and the iPhone

Yesterday's iPhone craze and the days leading up to it were quite unique and amazing. Only Steve Jobs could pull of something of this magnitude.

Back in the day we camped out for hours, even days, to get our hot little hands on a pair of Rolling Stones concert tickets, but a mobile phone? Albeit, it's not just any phone, but nonetheless, it's still a tech gadget.

Apple has always been synonymous with brand evangelism. Apple followers from the beginning have always been loyal and crazy for the brand. But the latest iPhone craze raised the bar and took it to new heights by catapulting Apple to true "rock star" status.

Lather's Delicious Cranberry Sugar Scrub

This is truly the best sugar scrub on the planet!! Trust me, you will fall in love with it and will want to share it with all your friends (it makes a great gift).

There are lots of great sugar scrubs on the market, but one element that I find with other sugar and salt scrubs is that they tend to be too oily and slippery. This one contains wonderful therapeutic oils without being overly oily and slippery.

Lather's Cranberry Sugar Scrub provides therapeutic benefits from its many botanical oils such as sesame, sweet almond, kukui nut, macadamia nut and sunflower seed, which moisturize and soothe your skin.

The pure turbinado sugar granules and cranberry seeds provide gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin silky smooth. This delightful and delicious sugar scrub polishes your skin and rinses clean. It's the best sugar scrub you'll ever try!!

It retails for $38.00 for 10.0 oz and is available online (www.lather.com) or at any Lather boutique:

• San Jose, CA: Lather Santana Row
• Pasadena, CA: Lather Historic Old Town
• Scottsdale, AZ: Lather Kierland Commons
• New York City: Lather Spa

Lotion for your hair? Absolutely!

Every time we get on the Internet, turn on a television or read a magazine, we are bombarded with advertising for anti-aging skin care products to help us look younger or a new hair product that will give us more volume or shine. Much of it is marketing hype, but some of it is worthy of our time and dollars.

I'm always testing out new products, so when I find one that delivers results, I have to write about it.

Most women put lotion and moisturizers on their skin everyday, but do they do the same for their hair? Probably not. Most people shampoo, condition and spritz a styling product or two on their hair and dash out the door.

I have to admit that was pretty much my routine, too. However, I recently added another product to my morning routine. It’s a great product called Tonic from New York-based Bumble and bumble, one of the best selling brands in the beauty and salon industry. Bumble and bumble has talented stylists, passionate platform artists and innovative products, such as Tonic.

Tonic is lotion for your hair. It smoothes and nourishes your hair, just as a good moisturizer does for your skin. Tonic contains vitamins, such as vitamin E, and numerous botanicals including rosemary, tea tree, lemon grass, and peppermint.

With all these aromatic botanicals in Tonic, it's not surprising that its aroma is very pleasing. You can't go wrong with this product. It delivers results that your hair will be grateful for and a nice scent that your nose will love. And you will love how great it makes your hair look and feel.

If you want to give your hair a treat, pick up Tonic at a nearby salon. To find one near you, visit Bumble and bumble's Web site and click on “store locator”.
