Haircare

(photo via Aguage's Twitter account)

I recently discovered a wonderful gluten-free shampoo and conditioner. It's called "Biomega" and it's made by a local company Aguage. I used it for the first time this afternoon. I didn't have any burning red eyes, or a painful rash on both of my cheeks and forehead (my body reacts quickly to substances I'm allergic to, usually within the hour).

My hair smells great, it's not tangled and it's very clean.

Aguage can only be purchased in a salon or by your hair stylist at a beauty supply store. I ordered the smallest sizes and my total was $26.68. Totally worth it.

Tracy Edmonds from the TV show "Extra" is a fan of these products as well.

Gluten free since 1973 :).

"Host"

I happily pre-ordered "Host" as soon at it became available and I'm so glad I did. Dr. Robin Cook is my favorite author. I've read almost all of his books and this is going to be one of my favorites. Relax with a Kindle and read "Host"!

I usually watch scary movies during Halloween weekend, but there was no need after reading this book. "Host" is a terrifying look into what could happen if unethical pharmaceutical companies are allowed to run amok. I won't spoil the ending, but everyone should know greed and corruption can have devastating consequences to quality healthcare.

Lynn and Michael are intriguing new characters. I can't wait to see what happens during their next adventure. I hope we see them again soon. Dr. Cook is fantastic at presenting diverse characters in a respectful way. It's obvious that he takes the time to research different ethnic groups to add a layer of realism to his fictional stories. I appreciate this.

I'm having surgery next week. I probably should have waited until after the procedure to read this book due to the subject matter, but it was just too good to put down. I highly recommend "Host" and I look forward to meeting these characters again.

*Dr. Cook responded to a post I wrote on his Facebook page. I am beyond happy!!

Smiling,
Monica
