Secret Weapon: Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak

I received the companion shampoo to this conditioner in a gift bag last fall (or maybe even summer!) but I didn't try it until earlier this month.  I liked it so much, I went out and bought it because I figured since the shampoo did not dry my hair out, the conditioner couldn't be too far behind and I was right.   I don't use heat on my hair, but I try to protect my hair from the harsh winter air just like everyone else so moisture is key. 

Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak $25.00.

$55 and Under: Nantaka Joy

Nantaka Joy is a line of stationery designed by Joy Deangdeelert Cho, the writer of one of my favorite blogs Oh Joy!   Nantaka Joy is pronounced "nahn-ta-ka joy" and was derived from combining Joy's Thai and American names.  It literally translates as "Happy Lady Joy".

Michelle Obama Lookalike Sheena Harrell

I am still holding out for Aisha Tyler to play Michelle Obama on Saturday Night Live, but Cityfile, a site that follows influential New Yorkers, has found an interesting Washingtontonian that could do the job - if she were a comedienne that is.  Sheena Harrell (right) is a 25-year-old Christian motivational speaker who moonlights as a Michelle Obama lookalike.

I think she will probably make a decent living in the next 4-8 years.  What do you think?
