What if The Matrix Ran on Windows?

GiggleSugar — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 09:00:00 -0800

Short answer? It'd be way less cool. Especially with that little paper clip with eyebrows asking if you need help all the time.

Happy Caturday!

This cat is displaying some mad Matrix-style martial arts skills! I'm glad they slowed the video down so we could truly appreciate its artistry. (The cat lying down doesn't even know what hit him!)

Family Guy Reloaded

GiggleSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 10:00:00 -0700

If The Matrix was a bit too metaphysical for you, here's a version that might go down better: Family Guy Reloaded. If Peter Griffin wants to look as cool as Keanu did in the original, however, he might wanna hit the treadmill and get a new wardrobe.

Product Review: Biolage Fortetherapie Cera-Repair Hair Treatment

BellaSugar — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 09:00:22 -0800

Unfortunately, I have to give Biolage Fortetherapie Cera-Repair ($13.49) a double thumbs-down for being a colossal waste of time. It's not often that a hair product can disappoint me this much, but after spending fifteen minutes in the shower, I was left waterlogged with knots in my hair. I actually had to step back into the shower and re-condition just to get a comb through it.

And not only that, but I was upset to have spent my allotted weekly hair mask ritual time on something completely unsatisfactory. Also, the key ingredients are lemongrass and mango and I don't think the product had any kind of scent whatsoever.

The claim from Matrix is that with continued use, these ceramide-rich conditioners help strengthen, repair and reduce breakage in your hair. The box comes with five treatments, and while I understand that you are supposed to complete them all over the course of five weeks to see the full effects, one experience was enough for me.

Vavoom Gold Heat Protects, Perfects

BellaSugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:00:07 -0800

Matrix recently launched a new line of thermal styling products called Vavoom Gold Heat.The four-product collection contains micronized gold, which acts as a protectant against heat-styling tools (hair dryers, straighteners, curling irons). They also claim to style your hair faster, since the formulas supposedly disperse heat more evenly.

The collection is broken down into two categories: volumizing and control. Its four pieces are Blow In Volume (protective lotion for thin hair), Iron In Volume (adds shine to thin hair), Blow In Control (protective serum for thick hair), and Iron In Control (prevents static on thick hair).

All of the Vavoom Gold Heat products cost between $13.95 and $15.95 and are sold only in salons (see the box on the top right to find one close to you). For more details on each of the products, read more

Blow In Control Protective Serum should be used on wet hair before you blow dry to combat frizz and fly-aways. It is best suited for medium to coarse hair.
Iron In Control Protective Dry Mist works well on thick hair and should be used before using a straightening or curling iron. In addition, it smooths out your hair so the iron can glide on effortlessly while also sealing in moisture and preventing static.
Blow In Volume Protective Lotion is good for those with fine to medium hair. It protects hair from heat damage and gives body, shape, and movement to limp hair.
Iron in Volume Protective Dry Mist is great for adding shine to thin hair. It also helps tame static and should be used alone or after hair has been prepped and dried with Blow In Volume.

Oh Man: Last-Minute Father's Day Finds

BellaSugar — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 10:33:19 -0700

In case you've forgotten, Father's Day is this Sunday, and it's not too late to get your dad a gift. Obviously, I'm a bit biased, but I think fragrance and grooming products make great Father's Day presents. Give your dad an excuse to pamper himself, and I promise not a drop will go to waste. If you don't want to opt for rush delivery, all of these products are also sold in stores.

If your dad has modern and sophisticated tastes, consider picking up a sleek bottle of Gucci Pour Homme II. Available in a 3.3-ounce bottle for $65 or a 1.7-ounce bottle for $50, this fragrance is spicy, woodsy, and musky.

For two more suggestions, read more

This Anthony Logistics Grab + Go Set ($35) is great for the man who travels a lot for work or for please. Each item in this six-piece kit is three ounces are less, so dad can take it in his carry-on bag. Inside you'll find a facial cleanser, shaving cream, astringent, shampoo, face exfoliator, and body wash.

The limited-edition Matrix for Men Father's Day Gift Set ($19.95) was created just for this occasion. It includes a Clean Rush Daily Moisture Shampoo, a Firm Fix Styling Gel, and a Body Rush Body Wash. All of these products are available at salons only, so just look for the store nearest you.
