We have never been so smitten with a product before than Ojon's Restorative Treatment. We love, love, love this product. We've tried countless hair treatments and have raided the local Sephora far too many times but this... this stuff is the real deal.

We first heard about Ojon when our silly obsession with Gisele Bunchen's long mane brought us to the word. "Gisele uses Ojon. Must learn more." Apparently a little tribe in Central America called the Miskito Indians has been harvesting the fruits of the tree that bears the Ojon oil for centuries. When the tribe was discovered one of the first things noted was their stunning hair and skin. We mean, well... hot damn, just check out that kid's hair in the picture!

Still not convinced? Here are some more reasons you should totally give this stuff a whirl.

I wash my hair with good-old-fashioned shampoo, and I figured I was lookin' alright. But today I learn that if I want my hair to really shine, I need to spend the big bucks.

At least, that's how it works for Catherine Zeta Jones, who apparently has so much money that she can spend more than £200 (about $400) just washing her hair. How is this even possible, you ask? Does she light her bathroom with fires made from burning money?

Not exactly (but almost). The actress believes she got her shiny locks by lathering her scalp in truffles and caviar. A spa near London flies in the fish eggs from Iran five days ahead of every treatment, then, upon Miss Zeta-Jones' arrival, washes her hair in a truffle-based shampoo before smearing on the caviar -- all while the star sips champagne and nibbles on culinary delicacies.

According to a source for the UK's Daily Mail, "The eggs are packed with omega-3 fatty acids necessary for the formation of structural proteins" which are supposed to repair dry and damaged hair.

According to me, this salon is scamming rich people and getting away with it.

With the Holiday shopping season almost in full swing, new shopping-related websites are popping up faster than your can say "Charge it," and I'm not just talking about your basic online store where you click in knowing what you're going to buy and buy. I am talking about the whole new world wide web 2.0 of shopping -- browsing, discovering new things things to buy on the fly, and just sort of "hanging out."

One new site in this genre is Like.com, which helps answer that question we also ask in our heads when looking at photos of celebrities, "Where did she get that?" From their database of celebrity photos, a shopper can zero in on a specific accessory with their cursor, and Like.com's technology will search and show results of products that are similar. For example, drawing a box around a wristwatch in a photo of Paris Hilton brings up hundreds of watches that look similar.

It's a cool concept, and of course, there is room for improvement as the site is still in "alpha." For example, most of the time, I don't care about finding shoes like Jessica Alba is wearing. I want to know the exact shoe, designer, and style. Also, Like.com doesn't do clothing yet, which means I am still on the hunt for that plaid skirt on Victoria Beckham!
