Don't Worry About Chopping Your Arm Off......We'll Just Grow It BackI

Man I am pissed. The Armed Forces Institute For Regenerative Medicine has stolen my idea.

I wish.

Their latest gizmo? A revolutionary "skin gun" that literally sprays stem cells into wounds on the battlefield. The purpose is to heal and regenerate the skin... drum roll ......in a matter of hours.

A mere $250 million dollars has been invested in projects like this, projects that could eventually end up as the latest great skin care gadget.

Finally the Starfish studies have paid off.

How To Get The Cheapest, Yet Worst Massage....Hey Its Still A Massage!!!!

One of the last times I was in San Francisco I went to get a massage. I have no idea why I even attempt to get massages in San Francisco, because I've never had a good one. The reasons vary.

My friend tells me that he found a great place for us to get massage. I think this is awesome because its right down the street from our hotel. So we can walk home.

He tells me its like only 30 bucks for an hour massage and they are open until 11pm. Instantly I am suspicious, nothing in San Francisco is open that late. I tell him its probably a whorehouse. He convinces me its not because they have an acupuncturist on staff.

I am wondering why I don't know about this place since I lived in San Fran for 4 years and have been in this industry for almost 10.

We get there and all the.. um, service providers look surprised to see me. They are dressed in 42nd street clothes. They speak no English and give me the worst rubdown ever, I could not relax. I was seriously waiting for the girl to offer me a happy ending or something but that would have really would have freaked my out.

Never before have I had a massage by a woman in "Ho Shoes"...

I won't be going back.

Zero Percent Crap

I don't really understand the mathematics of it, but I will say, I'm wildly impressed by 100 Percent Pure.

Talk about innovative, the owner (Susie Wang) has created this skincare almost entirely from fruits and veggies. She has a patent on the development on the pigments which are also plant derived (she won't be having any competition any time soon).

Now you might be wondering what all the hoopla is about, but in THIS industry, these standards just doesn't exist. Just have a look at the ingredients on the site.


If your a purist think about this;

A lip gloss thats 83% vitamin E oil and contains pigment ONLY from fruits and veggies?


Body washes that smells like fresh lime/lemon/nectarine and with no thickeners?

Fragrant body creams with no artificial fragrance? Pardon moi??

*BTW there are almost 18 different fruits/scents to choose from and the the whole line-up is cruelty-free, biodegradable, organic, vegan and vegetarian. Who can top that?

We strongly disagree, if you think you have met their match..let us know in the comments section.

Until then SHOP 100 PERCENT PURE
