HollywoodLife.com spoke to a source who tells us that Kim's bestie is down in Miami looking for spots to open his own sushi restaurant — would you eat there?
Move over Scott Disick, because Jonathan Cheban is about to expand his empire! HollywoodLife.com has learned that the former PR mogul flew to Miami and was spotted looking at some pretty pricey venues on Aug. 24 to open a Japanese restaurant — Scott just opened an Asian fusion spot in NYC called RYU, this past April!
"Jonathan met with some brokers," a source tells us. "He's looking at spaces to do his own sushi concept. He's been tweeting a ton of pics from a high-end sushi restaurant recently called Sushi Mikasa and it's all he's been thinking about. I'm sure Scott will be supportive of his decision, but from what I know, they're not doing this together."
We told you that Scott opened a restaurant in NYC's Meatpacking District called RYU, and Jonathan actually attended the opening. We hear he's looking at spots on the side of the new Shelborne Hotel on 18th and Collins.

Duh, you're STUPID! If Jonathon had a crush on Kris, that would mean he is gay and he is NOT!! Just because he's not tall and doesn't play a kids game for a living does not make him gay. And btw, I think Jonathon hates Kris more than I do! lol! Quit saying Kim pays me. I'm just one of her 16 MILLION supporting fans!! Now hate on that. lol!
Posted at 8:52 PM on August 27, 2012
Of course I would eat there!! With him being friends with Kim, there's a good chance that either she or one of her family members might show up!! Kim is a devoted friend so I'm sure she'd support him and maybe sign some magazine covers there! Or maybe he could reserve a private table for her and Kanye but then you know who would ruin it and show up? Kris Humphries! He has a dump in Miami. He's always stalking her, won't leave her alone. Jonathon better hire Kelly Osborne as his bouncer in case that loser Lurch shows up. lol!

There was the offensive play-calling on the final drive, poor clock management at the end of the half, two intentional grounding penalties, the decision to go with base defense on the final drive and countless others. But there was one play we felt was critical in setting up the Seahawks final drive that didn't receive as much attention and we decided to focus on that.
Leading 23-17 with 2:48 to go, the Patriots were forced to punt. But with the ball at the New England 43, it seemed a sure bet that Seattle would have to travel the length of the field in order to pull off the upset. Turned out the Seahawks needed to go only about half of it.
The fateful punt did not go well in any way.
Two factors then came into play, and neither was good for the Patriots. First, special teams captain
After securing the punt Washington easily found some open space to the left before heading toward the sideline. He turned the corner and shot toward Patriots territory before
With 2:38 left and the Seahawks still in possession of a timeout (plus the two-minute warning), Seattle's offense had the luxury of operating under close to normal circumstances due to the big return. Instead of having to go with the hurry-up and using the sidelines to preserve time, Washington's return meant rookie Russell Wilson could take his time needing only 57 yards to win it.
This fact cannot be understated, and it even drew the attention of CBS color man Dan Fouts. Fouts was surprised the Seahawks were huddling up rather than rushing in an attempt to grab the lead. But ultimately time wasn't a factor because the excellent field position meant Seattle simply had to score and wasn't in danger of running out of time.
Sure enough, Wilson broke the huddle and fired a 46-yard touchdown pass to put his team ahead with 1:18 still remaining. Wilson's throw to Sidney Rice was perfect, the coverage of the safeties certainly was not, but Washington's big return allowed it all to happen.

The labor had started many hours ago and Mariela was exhausted. Marcelo, her husband, supported and kept her company during this passage of giving life. During 2003 and 2004, I went weekly to Hospital Misericordia in the city of Córdoba, Argentina, to photograph labors and births under the charge of Dr. Celsa Bruenner. At that time, it was the only public hospital where you were able to give birth in a respected way. This "respected birth" implies recovering the active role of women at the time of birth; the subjectivity and the freedom of women and their partners to choose how they give birth and how to be born.

Every night, says author, scholar and self-described "dream teacher" Robert Moss, your dreams present keys to self-healing and self-understanding, and glimpses of challenges that lie ahead in waking life. The adventure of active dreaming, he says, "is the most rewarding of all forms of travel."
Touring to introduce his latest book, "The Boy Who Died and Came Back," Moss will appear at Readers' Book in Sonoma on Thursday, March 6 at 7:30 p.m. The reading is free. (see excerpt below)
His previous books on dreaming, shamanism and imagination include "Conscious Dreaming," "The Three 'Only' Things," and "The Secret History of Dreaming." In his latest work, subtitled "Adventures of a Dream Archaeologist in the Multiverse," Moss describes how he lived a whole life in another world when he died at age nine in a Melbourne hospital. He died and came back again, in another sense, in a crisis of spiritual emergence during midlife.
From 1970-1980, Moss was an editorial writer and special correspondent for "The Economist," reporting from some 35 countries. He wrote for many other publications, including "The New York Times Magazine" and "The New Republic," and was a regular commentator on international affairs on British television and the BBC World Service.
In 1986, Moss felt the need to get out of the commercial fast lane. In the solitude of a farm in upstate New York, he began dreaming in a language he did not know. It proved to be an archaic form of the Mohawk language. Helped by native speakers to interpret his dreams, Moss came to believe that they had put him in contact with ancient healers, calling him to a different life.
The experience led him "on a path for which there has been no career track in our culture." He began writing on the subject (the new book is his ninth) and developed Active Dreaming, "an original synthesis of dreamwork and shamanism."
The March 6 event is free. Readers' Books is located at 130 E. Napa St. in Sonoma.
Cracked or creative: speaking of coincidence
By Robert Moss
Coincidences are homing beacons. They are secret handshakes from the universe. They are extraordinary sources of guidance and direction.
The great psychologist Carl Jung lived by coincidence, and achieved a profound understanding that through the study of coincidence we will come to grasp that there is no real separation between mind and matter at any level of reality — a finding confirmed by the best of our physicists. He taught that the incidents of our lives and the patterns of our world are connected by meaning, and that meaningful coincidence may guide us to the hidden order of events.
Jung was so fed up with the reflexive dismissal of coincidence as only coincidence that he labored heroically to give us a new vocabulary with which to describe both the phenomenon and its character. He coined the word "synchronicity" and it has since achieved wide circulation. The term is unsatisfactory. It refers to things happening at the same time, but an interesting run of coincidence can play out over a longer period.
But "synchronicity" sounds scientific and respectable, and I often use it to get round the difficulty of talking about these things in a state of semantic confusion where we routinely dismiss things as "only" coincidence, or insist that an incident "wasn't coincidence" when what we mean that it was coincidence, and it was important.
Coincidence multiplies when our thoughts and feelings are strong and focused enough to set up a magnetic field. Roberto Calasso describes how this works in the life of writers: "The writing of a book gets under way when the writer discovers that he is magnetized in a certain direction…Then everything he comes across – even a poster or a sign or a newspaper headline or words heard by chance in a café or in a dream – is deposited in a protected area like material waiting to be elaborated." This has been my experience when engaged in bringing through a book. The world gives me story after story, lead after lead, and the shelf elves became hyperactive.
The idea that coincidences are important is troubling to some in the psychiatric community. "Ideas of reference" – referring to the delusion that everything perceived in the outer world relates to the individual perceiving – are defined as a symptom of psychotic illnesses including schizophrenia. Determined not to be overawed by Jung's learned borrowings from Greek, a Swiss psychiatrist named Klaus Conrad made up the word "apophenia" to describe a psychotic condition he defined as the "unmotivated seeing of connections" accompanied by a "specific experience of an abnormal meaningfulness."
Conrad's Greek was not as good as Jung's. The word he wanted is apophrenia, which means "away from the mind." But he left out the "r" in the Greek stem phrēn, so his coinage — meant to categorize a kind of nonsense — is itself nonsense. The mislabeled condition (mentioned in the title of a rock song and in William Gibson's novel Pattern Recognition) is a disorder of compulsive pattern recognition that produces paranoid fantasies.
There are people who find meaning and inspiration in the cracks on a wall, and people who are simply cracked. The difference between them may be as extreme as that between Leonardo da Vinci (who urged his apprentices to study cracks in the walls) and the nut portrayed by Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory. When we navigate by coincidence, we move effortlessly into creative flow. When we project our delusions onto the world around us, we put ourselves in a place of blockage and pain. It is the release or constriction of creative flow that will tell us whether we are on the right track (though let's note that the release may involve a necessary redirection of flow).
Robert Moss, in a blog post adapted from "The Three 'Only' Things: Tapping the Power of Dreams, Coincidence and Imagination," published by New World Library.

AMEN, Brother!

MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann, commenting on the tragic shooting in Arizona that took the life of a federal judge, a nine-year-old girl and four others and left a Congressman gravely wounded, says violence has no place in our society.
He's right and this commentary of his says it best.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
AMEN, Brother!
Yes, indeed, Keith Olbermann was correct and apologetic for his slurs on others. Even I apologized somewhere on CHB for my comments about President Bush 43. I have lived in Arizona since 2000 and have been shocked at the ignorance of the people who live around me. I did a move to Sun City and it took me 8 years to realize I am a social liberal and must go back to California., I have no interest in voting for anyone running in D.C. I've written in names since I took a good look at Bush 41.
I do not get my candidate's agenda from the Internet or the newspapers and tend to read their own words. Palin's books scared the itshay out of me.
He usually has great comments.
Yes this is George Orwell think speak. Where is the outrage when you spoke of Bush's userping of the Constitution? It left the msnbc show when Barry Omama and the fist bumping wife came to Washington. Lets see, ok its ok if my President has unitary power, but not yours! Where is the real outrage Mr. Olbermann? Did you piss your pants when the Zionist masters gave you your marching orders? I used to respect you, however I now consider you a fish-monger.
Maybe he can apologize to all those co-workers he has treated like shyte? What a phony.

Many friends had asked me "How do you make figurines, can you show me the process?" I had therefore made a tutorial that divided in several areas of the figurine while I was working on a self project, a project that wasn't base on commission, actually they were sort of work in progress. You may see a lot of photos taking during sculpting. It's long hours of work that I did beside my work. Please look for yourself and compare the differences of how it was made. I tried taking shoots as many as I can at the "turning points" in angles.
I know you might have a lot of questions, the materials, tools, methods... I would suggest you may look for my other tutorials for commonly asked questions. I don't really know how long this project may take. But I'll keep updated as it goes on. The pictures shown an angel figurine in progress. Enjoy!
Title: It has a title but I'm not going to say it now, please wait until you see the whole scene when nearly finish.
Material were used: Super Sculpey, jumbo paperclips, crazy glue, baby powder.

Capt. Jim Barr
Newport, RI
Pro Staff
I am Captain Jim Barr and I live in Newport, Rhode Island. Skinny Water Charters is based here. I am a full time salt and freshwater guide having retired from the risk management business.
I am a U.S. Coast Guard OUPV Captain, trained in First Aid and CPR, fully insured and licensed.
I trailer my boats in order to minimize running time to the seasonally changing productive waters. The primary launch sites are Ft. Adams/ Newport; Pt. Judith/Narragansett; Ninigret Pond/Charlestown; Barn Island/ Stonington, CT; and the Westport River, MA.
I am the only guide service based in Newport and southern Rhode Island that specializes in fishing the "shallower and shallowest" waters of Coastal Rhode Island, Fishers Island, NY, Southeastern Massachusetts and Southeastern Connecticut.
My focus is fishing near shore reefs, bays, salt ponds, estuaries, salt rivers, rocky coast lines, sandbars, shallow water flats, and wave worn islands.
I provide my clients with top of the line Sage, Redington and Orvis fly rods and reels and RIO Products fly lines, leaders and tippet material. I also provide use of high quality light tackle spinning equipment- Off Shore Angler rods paired with precision reels by Penn (Spinfisher V), Shimano (Saragosa) and Quantum (Cabo PTs and Smoke PTs Inshore). I personally tie all the fly patterns we use and the plastic and hard baits are top of the line products from name brand companies. I don't fish with bait.
I target Striped Bass, Bluefish, False Albacore and Bonito. Occasionally School Blue Fin Tuna are included in our targeted species when they make appearances in our near shore waters.
My primary vessel is the Mako 2201 Inshore Bay Boat. My secondary vessel is a Lund 16 SSV for fishing extremely shallow salt and fresh waters and difficult to access salt ponds. The Mako is the perfect platform for the waters I specialize in fishing. It draws very little water, is spacious, stable, extremely maneuverable, quiet and very quick. It is equipped with the remote controlled bow mounted Minn Kota 101 trolling motor and the remote controlled Minn Kota Talon shallow water anchor system, that together create a fishing platform that allows for extreme stealth and fishing shallow waters and tight to structure.
Guiding anglers in fresh cold and warm water for Trout, Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike and in saltwater for Stripers, Bluefish, False Albacore and Bonito.

In this cocktail given to us by author and former Gramercy Tavern managing partner Nick Mautone, a combination of warm spices and brandy makes this sparkling wine cocktail a seasonal sipper appropriate for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's Eve.
- 1Pour the brown sugar onto a small plate. Rub the lemon wedge along the rim of each champagne glass (but not inside the rim). Holding each glass at an angle, roll the outer edge of the rim in the sugar until it's fully coated.
- 2Mix together the cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and ginger, then divide the mixture evenly among 5 champagne glasses.
- 3Add 1 sugar cube and 1 ounce of the brandy to each glass. Stir until the spices are well blended.
- 4Divide the sparkling wine evenly among the glasses. (Be careful, the sparkling wine will fizz vigorously.) Serve immediately.

LAFAYETTE - Oyster harvesters can once again drop nets in two Louisiana waterways.
An area in Plaquemines and St. bernard Parishes will open Friday.
The Department of Health and Hospitals closed these oyster beds in late March, due to a norovirus outbreak linked to these areas.
Health officials determined mollusks fished out of these waters are safe and they will continue to monitor these areas.

Reviewer: Jill Williamson from Cumbria
Just received my argan oil today, well packaged and quick del even though it was a bank holiday, just used the oil on my face, nails hands, lips and I must say its lovely oil none greasy and my skin feels soft after one application I will be using it on my hair tonight, very happy
Reviewer: Gillian Muzvidziwa from United Kingdom
I always buy the small bottle. A little goes a long way and I very much like the bottle design it's looks more then it costs. I've recommended this company to many friends so far. A product ill definitely keep buying.
Reviewer: Barbara Tranthem from Eltham
I started using Argon oil on my hair to start with, then Purchased your hair care range , and then the body oil and the hand wash, I have been extremely please with the results that I am achieving since using your argon oil products, my hair is much healthier and my sink in no longer cracked and dry, I also use it on my feet and I must say it has worked wonders for me, I no longer have dry burning feet.
Reviewer: pamela harvey from United Kingdom
Fantastic. I use all the Simply Argan products, and I am so happy I have found something that truly works, I highly recommend these products.
Reviewer: Terdoo Maagbe from Abuja, Nigeria
I love the simply argan shampoo, conditioner and hair treatment. It works wonders for my natural hair, leaves it soft and easy to style and care for.
Reviewer: Vera from Glos
I use Argan Oil daily for silky soft skin and youthful looks. It is also great for scar tissue and strengthening nails.
Reviewer: Lyn Gregson from Haywards Heath
I love all the products in the range. The 100% pure Argan oil is superb for treating the eczema on my legs, and I use it as a moisturiser on my face. Being non – greasy it doesn't stain clothes either. The shampoo and conditioner leave my hair beautifully clean and shiny and the body wash smells nice but isn't over powering. I would recommend the products to anyone who has a skin problem or anyone who just wants to keep their skin, hair and nails healthy.
Reviewer: Georgia Petrou from United Kingdom
Definitely the best products I've used for my skin and hair in a long time! I can see a massive improvement in the shine and softness of my hair, which I have been complemented on many times since using Simply Argan shampoo and conditioner. I've also been using the Simply Argan shower gel and have found that I need to moisturise less and less the more I use it – my skin stays soft and smooth with out it! Would definitely recommend everything I've used to a friend.
Reviewer: Kate from Dublin
Great Products! Natural ingredients! Health and Vital Life! That's what Argan Products are about!:)
Reviewer: Marion Dowling from Dorset UK
I use Argon Oil daily for my hair. It really is very good – keeps hair in good condition and I now use no other styling lotion after shampooing. It is not greasy and is very economical to use – just a few drops are sufficient. This product is the best I have ever used and I readily recommend it to friends.

Reviewer: Copper from Ireland
I Have been using argan oil on my face for over 2 months. Not only does skin feel smoother and clearer but several people have commented on my skin. I only wear it in evening before bed as it isn't possible to wear make-up over the top, however it's the best night time treatment I've tried on the market.
Reviewer: Barry from Blackpool
Argon oil is the best item I have found in years. It's gentle on your skin, fantastic on your hair and so affordable. Fantastic product
Reviewer: Valerie Strauss from Cyprus
Simply Argan has great products. The oil goes on and is absorbed quickly leaving no residue. Hair products leave the hair fabulously soft and shiny with a gentle lingering smell from the violet infused shampoo and conditioner. The hair serum detangles and smooths unruly long hair and nourishes it. All in all a great buy especially bundles. You can't beat it for price and quality.
Reviewer: Samantha Houston from Limavady
i have lupus so have to be careful wot i use but i have gotten hooked on ur products. i havve used ur shampoo and conditioner infused with violets which not only leaves my hair shinny and healthy lookin but the smell is fabulous…..Your shower gel leaves my skin soft and Your pure argan oil is so so so good
Reviewer: Moira Emmett from Leedsu
My skin has NEVER felt so absolutely right and I can't say enough thank you's.I am 71 yrs old and have had dry skin forever.I wish I'd had Argan Oil forever,but….better late than never.
Reviewer: Mairi from North East
I've been using Argan oil instead if moisturiser for about a year. I have had several comments from friends about how great my skin looks and on a recent visit to a beautician for a facial was told 'your skin is in amazing condition- keep doing whatever it is you're doing'. It's a simple, hassle free routine and, as an added benefit, probably saves me a fortune on the creams and potions I used to use.
Reviewer: Loretta Smith from Norfolk
Loved this oil, it's great for my dry mature skin. Gave sample to my daughter for my twin grandsons eczema which seem to improve after use.
Reviewer: LORAINE TONKIN from Prestatyn
Since I have started using Argon oil I have not needed to buy any other product for my skin. I find it easily absorbs into my skin leaving it feeling refreshed, moisturised and looking great without looking greasy. The fact that there are no added chemicals and preservatives in Argon Oil is an extremely important factor in my buying this product.When I think of all the shop bought brand name face creams I have bought over the years with additives that I can't pronounce make me shudder. I am so happy that I have found this fantastic product and would recommend anyone to try it for themselves.
Reviewer: Daphne Thomas from Lossiemouth
I just love using Argan Oil on my face and body. It is all that I use on my face as I had a reaction to creams I had been using for years. My skin is so soft and actually if I say so myself I think I look a few years younger.
Reviewer: Melanie Lloyd from United Kingdom
This product is excellent for some many uses. My daughter finds it invaluable in helping her eczema. I use it to keep my ageing skin supple and smooth. When my hair looks a bit dull and in need of a pick me up I use it before and after washing it. Also it is economical as a little goes a LONG way!
Reviewer: Anne DVenport from Taunton, Somerset
This oil is amazing – just wish I'd tried it years ago. Have tried various serums but not match up to this. Go on, give it a go, you'll be very satisfied with the results .
Reviewer: Ayesha Pathan from United Kingdom
I am ready to declare Argan oil as the best miracle oil for optimum beauty, as I have applied this oil to my face,hair and body for over 2 years and seen positive beautifying results. I have included Argan oil in my beauty regimen for adding moisture and shine to dull hair and leaving my sensitive skin healthy and radiant, also using it as a sunscreen due to its healing, repairing and anti-ageing properties. Argan oil gives me the satisfaction and confidence of using an un-adulterant oil free from chemicals.
Reviewer: Annette from Suffolk
I purchased the Argan Shampoo & Conditioner, best thing I ever bought for my hair. My hair was dry, heat damaged and very dull. I'm so pleased with the shampoo and conditioner I would recommend it to any one. My hair is now in a lot better condition now I use this daily.
Reviewer: Ruth Bennett from North Yorkshire
I discovered this amazing oil around 18months ago and wouldn't be without it now. Not only does the oil make your skin feel totally moisturised but it improves the texture and appearance, lessening fine lines and wrinkles. I often get comments how how thick an glossy my hair is and an amazing smell of violets, thanks go to the luxurious shampoo,conditioner and hair oil Simply Argan is simply the best Thank you
Reviewer: lynda from essex
Since using the shampoo and condition, I once used a similar product from a high end company, never again, no comparison, I will not use anything else on my hair, love all the other products too. Congratulations on such lovely products.
Reviewer: Mary Herdsman from United Kingdom
I was unsure at first about the claims made about the benefits of Argan Oil. However, I have been using the oil at night in place of my more expensive night moisturiser, and it is great. My skin in soft and well moisturised, and a little does go a long way. I also use your shampoo and conditioner and have recommended your products to my family.
Reviewer: Immy from Greater Manchester
I am 37 and I have tried products from all major brands on the high street and beyond. Been using argan products for over 18months and wow never look back nor wish to change. Thank you to all the argan team.
Reviewer: cathi from argyll
This is a truly magical product! I am amazed at the difference it makes even after only 1 application. I have recommended it to friends who are now also using the product. Thank you!!
Reviewer: Pam Jones from Gateshead
Argon Oil is the best beauty product I have used in a very long time, the difference to my skin is remarkable. Would recommend everyone gives it a go and see for themselves.
Reviewer: Naomi Lewis from Sheffield
It's an amazing product. I've been using on my neck and under my eyes for a few months now and can really notice the difference. I also use it on my hair when it's dry.
Reviewer: Pamela MacDougal from New South Wales, Australia
Simply Argan Shampoo and Conditioner leave my fine hair so smooth and looking so healthy, and also leaves in my hair a beautiful aroma. They give my hair body which makes styling so easy when blow drying. I would not be without the Simply Argan Oil which I use each night. It smooths the wrinkles on my face, and rejuvinates my dry legs especially during the winter winds. Simply Argan Shower Gel is supurb, especially for the face and in my opinion is king of all available body washes.
Reviewer: Ian Nicholson from United Kingdom
Argan products are realky great for the care of dry skin.
Reviewer: Denise Low from Milton Keynes
Have only used the products for 3 weeks but already the difference to my hair and skin is amazing.
Reviewer: karen taylor from shaw
the best thing i ever tried
Reviewer: Louise from Berkshire
I purchased the simply argan oil for my hands as they get really dry and rough with constant washing. I was getting married and needed a miracle to make my hands look beautiful and feel soft. I wore the oil every night with gloves and within a month my hands were transformed. Would definitely buy this product again. I also purchased the shampoo and conditioner for my mum who has psoriasis. She said it was so gently on her scalp and made her hair very soft.
Reviewer: Margaret from Newcastle
Great products
Reviewer: Sally Ward from Camborne, Cornwall
I am delighted with the Argan Oil, I would recommend it to anyone. It is luxurious and has transformed both the dry skin on my face and my damaged hair. The service I have recieved from Simply Argan has been fantastic.
Reviewer: Veemae from West Yorkshire
I love the Argan products. The shampoo and conditioner leaves my hair feeling silky and the smell is not strong like some other hair products. The oil is great for my Afro hair, which feels and looks really healthy. I've also used the hair serum, which gives my hair a little extra body after washing and shampooing. I'm glad I've found the product that is best for me.
Reviewer: Veemae from West Yorkshire
I bought the Argan mini pack for my holiday. It was so much easier to travel with than the full size products. I will be buying this again for my next holiday break.
Reviewer: Marion Hamshaw from West Sussex
Excellent product. My skin feels wonderful. Use it morning and night and have recommended it to my friends. Seems to last forever as only have to use two or three drops.
Reviewer: Tuulikki Sewell from Great Shelford Cambridgeshire
Fantastic product! Argan oil, i.e. Haven't tested all the other ones.
Reviewer: Eve from London
We use it regularly. Fantastic product, good quality, good results !!! We are very happy.
Reviewer: Sarah Rice from France
I have been using Simply Argan Oil for a few month now and I am very pleased with the results. My skin feels great and the area around my eyes has improved dramatically! I also use the oil on my hands and again I am extremely pleased with the results.
Reviewer: Lesley Johnstone from Brussels, Belgium
I discovered these products about a year ago and since then swear by them, as does my 17 year-old daughter, who loves the smell of her waist-length hair after shampooing and conditioning with the hair products. I find my skin feels great and somehow rested after applying the argan oil to my face overnight. Fine lines fade and my skin feels really healthy. Love, love, love these products!! Nobody should be without them! And the service and delivery are excellent too!
Reviewer: Sue Y from Cheltenham
Just love, love, love the products. The fact they are organic and do such wonderful things to keep me looking good is a one-stop shop experience! Time saving and good for my beauty regime and health!
Reviewer: Pam from Exmouth
I heard about Argan Oil when I was in Morroco this year,but learnt that it had to be the genuine stuff. When I searched for it Simply Argan seemed to be the only site that guaranteed the genuine product. Their service was excellent. Am very pleased with the product, my skin looks better already. bought some for my daughter as well.
Reviewer: Debbie from Calgary, Canada
this Argan Oil is simply the best – I use it daily on my face, hair and nails.I love how quickly it is absorbed and my hair has a great sheen without being oily. My skin glows and I get many compliments.I am 57 years old and a co worker yesterday thought I was in my early forties… I am not giving this up ever!!! Your customer service is exceptional as well – efficient and fast!! Congratulations on such an exceptional product Blessings Debbie
Reviewer: Lindy from Steyning, West Sussez
I have been using all the range of Simply Argan Oil products for several years. I have noticed a big reduction in my laughter lines around my eyes and I had deeper frown lines that have reduced significantly. I use it twice a day and it's not greasy. The hair shampoo has the most amazing fragrance of violets and I feel so special when I breath in the lovely fragrance. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company or their products.
"I just want to thank you for the amazing product I have reviewed. I've tried all the medical options to treat my acne. I've had steroid cream and I've tried all the products to fade marks. At first I thought it would be a product for women when I first heard about it. But I was desperate and wow after the first application I saw results. My skin was softer and lighter. And after 2 weeks the marks started to fade and now I'm in my 3rd month and I have clean and clear skin with only a handful of marks that are also disappearing. I haven't had a break out since January!!! I'm recommending this miracle to everyone I know. I love Argan oil!!!! Thanks again!! :D" Milton via Email
Al Bjørnstad posted on Argan oil's Facebook timeline "The first time I bought Simply Argan was last September. I did not expect a miracle. I live in a country where winter is hard and long ( 6 months). I have a very dry skin and have tried a lot of products that were good but I wanted to use natural products on my skin. I thought that it will take time for my dry skin to improve. I notice the change in my skin after a week. I also encouraged my husband to use it as he is suffering from psoriasis. After 3 months use of Argan oil, his psoriasis is almost gone. He told me that it is the only one I let him use that actually helped. I would also want to thank your customer service agent who was very helpful when I called this afternoon regarding my order last January. I am satisfied both with the product and the service. Thank you!!!! "
"Have bought the set of Argan oil over christmas period and the results have been amazing dry patches on face that I had been trying to get rid of for ages went after just one night with Argan oil and bonus whole face plumped and lines reduced just amazing and also hair shinny so soft and looking in the best condition in years and smelling completely gorgous ,, this range is going to be in my daily routine from now on as it really does deliver all the results it claims to have never been so pleased with a product before and have purchased 4 sets now thats how pleased thankyou so much Argan ." Mandy Brown – Via facebook
"Many thanks for my recent order kindly received on Tuesday. Elaine is absolutely elated and has asked me to thank you personally. She has said your Argan Oil is so much better than others she has tried in the past, she is also impressed with the hair oil. Now Elaine is an 'expert' when it comes to beauty products – what she has not tried is not worth buying! However she sticks with what she feels works. Needless to say any future orders for such products will be placed with yourselves. Thanks again" (A customer bought our Simply Argan Oil for his wife as a birthday present)
"I bought my first Cosmetic Argon Oil in Morocco a couple of years ago and soon became hooked. I now but from Simply Argan http://arganoil.co/buy-online-argan_oil.html – it really is fantastic. I no longer need the expensive creams I used to buy! Works well under my Bare Minerals make up (without a moisturiser in the winter) but sometimes use an extra moisturiser with SPF in the summer, if needed. You will be hooked once you try it!" Janet Worsley – Via Facebook
"I bought 2 bottles its fantastic the wrinkles round my eyes are going .i have very long curly hair i rub a bit into the ends when wet and get really great results its also great after waxing or plucking takes the redness away so many things you can use it for my hubby loves it too rubs it into his face night and morning try it ita a one bottle does everything must have"
"I ordered the oil because I have ezcma on my hands. Being a chef, my hands are wet a lot and come into contact with a lot of harsh washing up chemicals. My hands were dry, cracked and peeling. I have used the Argan Oil for only a few days and my hands are nearly completely cleared up. Amazing stuff. Thanks very much"
"Wonderful oil. I've had a rash on my arm for a couple of weeks. Applied the oil and in the morning rash was hardly visable. I'm now using it all over for hair, face & body. I've known about argan oil and used lesser quaility oil but your oil just feels different, soaks in, nothing greasy. Love it."
"I received my first bottle of Argan Oil on Saturday 21.4.12 . I just can't believe that the awful red thread veins on my face, which I have had for several years, have almost disappeared after 3 days of using your wonderful product. Thank you so much for making me happy again!"
"I have been using this on my hair every night since it came in the Amarya box and this is the result! So much more shiny and fuller
I love it :D"
"Brought 2 bottles of Argan Oil last week, one for a friend's birthday. I used my Friday Night and Saturday morning I saw distinct progress, the under eye bags had gone and the few wrinkles I had by my mouth have now gone after just 2 days and nights of using Argan. Fantastic, never seen anything work so quickly and effectively and I have tried everything short of surgery!"
"I've been a fan of yours for only a short time but I am hooked!! I received a hamper of treats as a gift (i recently had twin girls) with goodies for me and the babies. Amongst them was your brilliant 'Simply Argan' Oil. I'm so pleased to have found this as it is truly something else! I have incredibly sensitive, dry skin that reacts badly to many products, even organic at times. Your Argan Oil is so totally hydrating and soothing, perfectly gentle and it is providing me with really great results after just a week or so of substituting it for my usual moisturiser. My skin feels less sore, it is less red and less rough/chapped; i can actually feel the increased elasticity and it is so much more comfortable. It was so gently effective on my skin that it sparked a little inspiration and I recently tried it on my daughter's skin too. The girls get very dry skin patches in the creases of their neck, behind their knees and in random patches on their legs too. I have been using just a couple of drops of your oil in their bath and the results have been just brilliant – the dry rough patches are significantly less and like my own, their skin is more supple, calmer and less of an irritation. In short, this oil is just working beautifully for me and my children – nothing we've tried previously has been as effective at calming our skin so gently and it's really such great news for us"
"fantastic, been using the last 2 weeks on the Rosacea on my face, what a difference its almost gone and my face feels so much better."
"I have only just received my first bottle of Argan oil two days ago. Instantly From the first use I could feel the difference it made to my face and hands. I have suffered periods of very dehydrated facial skin since suffering a bereavement last year. I have Been using 100% Almond oil which has helped a lot in improving the skin. Argan oil seems to make the skin feel softer immediately and I love the way it smells and feels whilst sinking into the skin. I just ordered 4 bottles for my two daughters, aged 21 & 26′ and my sister who has always suffered from exzema."
"this oil is lovely and light, not at all like an oil, i am using it daily for my daughters skin which i extremely dry. and on my hands which show signs of ageing, much more than my face. alrady my hands look smoother so i will continue using this oil and see if there are lasting results at the end of it. This came within two days of ordering, and was thru the letterbox so didnt need to wait in to sign for it.excellent service.thank you."
"Nicely packaged and the bottle was much bigger than expected! Nice surprise. So far, so good. Applied before bed and have to say my skin feels deliciously smooth this morning but, as I say early days. The web side was intuitive and easy to use with the required amount of product information. Not overloaded with images so loads quickly. I would give the whole experience a 10/10. Would definitely use again and recommend."
"Hello Simply Argon, after being recommended using pure argan. Your site is the best by far and the oil is true to its word. I use it daily on my face, hair and nails and my partner uses it on his psoriasis where there is a significant change in a matter of days."
"I am very pleased with the oil : I like the slight scent & I like the way it sinks into the skin , unlike Bio-oil which I have been using."
" Very quick delivery as indicated in the web. Product well wrapped and nicely presented. I would point out that it has worked incredibly well on the palms of my hands where the surface of the dermis had been deeply peeled off. After five days of using Argan oil my hands are nearly 100% recovered. I am very pleased with this. Thank you."
"… thought it was a very good site I must commend your company on the efficient and speedy delivery of the goods which I ordered."
"Hi, Thanks for a wonderful product, I am so glad I found you."
"I found your web site very easy to use, the product arrived this morning and looks really good value for money."
"I did a Google search and looked at a number of Argan oil websites, and yours looked the most professional, very, very slick in fact. However, most importantly for me, you specified that your argan oil was certified by a UK laboratory and that took some of the worry off."
"I am very happy indeed with your oil. I've just received the product today. I haven't tried the product before but I heard it's amazing so I look for it on google and I found your website."
" am pleased with the advice I have received."
"Hello , I read an article on a website and then located you via Google. I have started using Argan Oil and am looking forward to seeing my skin improve."
"I am very happy with the product, thanks. "
"Really impressed with speed of delivery and packaging. I am very happy with my Argan oil. Argan oil arrived – it is lovely. Thank you."
"There were other suppliers of Argan Oil but I thought yours sounded the purest!!! Am really pleased with the product. "
"I am very happy with my purchase of Argan oil "
"Hello there,I have received my purchase this morning. I thought that your site was easy with clear details and good information, hence making my first purchase. I'm looking forward to using it tonight, and hoping for marvellous results !!"
" I am very happy with the oil I use it on my face and hands and it feels good. Thankyou and it was a pleasure doing business with you. "
"Very pleased with my purchase your service has been very good, fast delivey, and would definitely use you again. "
"I have just returned from a trip to Morocco where I discovered Argan oil and I was interested to find out whether it was available in the UK. "
"I have bought this product for my daughter( aged 38) who has eczema so will let you know how she finds it. I must say I was impressed by the prompt delivery. "
"Fantastic product. Love it. Delighted I read your article in the Telegraph "
" it was simple to order and dispatched very quickly, Thanx"
" I have used the product for 2 days now putting on my face before I go to bed and my face already feels softer and appearance replenished [?], I think I will definitely be ordering more."
"I found your website very informative compared to others and easy to use and hope to be visiting you again soon- thank you. "

Kurt Peacock's latest article appeared in today's Telegraph-Journal, and it is a PERFECT write-up about the outcome of the Saint John 2012 Municipal Election:
Looking relaxed in jeans and a grey T-shirt, Mayor-elect Mel Norton (who had removed his suit and tie once the media horde was gone) addressed a crowd of jubilant supporters at Callahan's Pub late into the evening Monday night.
"Nothing great happens without amazing people," he said, turning to his volunteers. "You're what makes Saint John special."
Norton added, "Let's celebrate what is really a new beginning for Saint John."
The rhetorical call to action was easily embraced. After all, it was a new beginning for Saint John, and across the city a lot of people were ready to celebrate.
Of 11 seats around the council table, eight of them will now be held by candidates who played no part in the municipal turbulence of the last four years. The mayor's seat, to be held by Norton, will be a fresh start (Norton served briefly on the last council) and among incumbents, only Bill Farren and Donnie Snook survived the tidal pull of the voters.
While much of the evening's excitement surrounded the mayor's race, there was also a lot of happy talk around the idea that our city (which has always produced some of the most vibrant female politicians in the province) has added a number of talented women to the council table.
If council tradition holds, our new deputy mayor will be Shelley Rinehart, a well-known community volunteer and accomplished business professor. The incoming council will make the final decision on who takes the deputy mayor seat.
If ever there was a councillor in which Saint John should hand over stewardship of the budget process, it would be Rinehart. Let's remove the budget-making leadership from staff and hand it over to councillor-elect Rinehart, and make her the city's de facto finance minister in the process.
The other at-large councillor will be former mayor Shirley McAlary, who – despite her own missteps as mayor – should be a welcome addition to the council table. I've been around politicians long enough to observe that if candidates are given a second chance years after an earlier defeat, they're generally wiser and more humble elected officials. McAlary will likely fit that mould.
The two other female councillors at the table will be Susan Fullerton and Donna Reardon. Fullerton startled (and entertained) many at a recent campaign debate by sitting in front of a piano and breaking into a song. When I first heard of Fullerton's performance, it re-established my firm belief that Saint John has the most interesting politics in New Brunswick.
Reardon may well be the most compelling new councillor to watch. I've sat with her on different city committees, and while we haven't always been in agreement, I was constantly impressed with her ability to ask very direct and succinct questions. While other councillors may be tempted to launch ego-satisfying speeches, expect Reardon to be the one who asks the right questions of city staff.
Rounding out the new council are Greg Norton, John MacKenzie, David Merrithew and Ray Strowbridge.
Norton is the new mayor's younger brother, but he is also an innovative principal at Lorne School in the city's north end. It is his employment in the inner city – and not his family ties – that will likely most influence his time on council. MacKenzie is largely unknown to most voters outside of Millidgeville, but he did receive the early endorsement of outgoing Deputy Mayor Stephen Chase – a significant boost in that Chase was one of the few members of the previous council who still had a reputation for championing taxpayer interests.
Both Merrithew and Strowbridge are newcomers in east Saint John, and it will be interesting to see how they adapt to PlanSJ, the city's new municipal plan. While the document is absolutely a step in the right direction for the city (in large part because it embraces Saint John's status as the most urban space in the province), it may cause some short-term development pains in sprawling east Saint John. How they respond to this reality may be an interesting test of the ward system of governance in that what is good for the city as a whole may not be as good for one of the city's parts.
Among all the fresh faces on council, there is of course our brand new mayor-elect. Norton joined council in December 2010 and more than a year later was seeking the mayor's chair. Outside of a proven willingness to listen to voters on issues like the boundaries of Rockwood Park, he frankly didn't have much of a record. What he had to offer was a promise to conduct the city's affairs in a very different manner.
Because Norton was such a clean slate, in the final weeks of the campaign there was somewhat of a whisper campaign to undermine his momentum with a not-very-subtle counter-narrative. Norton was buying the city's votes, the argument went. He was more Union Club than Union Street. He was simply the front man to a well-oiled machine.
Since the whisper campaign never grew into a chorus – likely because there was little substance behind the innuendo – Norton ultimately won by a considerable landslide. On election night, one campaign wag even suggested my column headline: Court Dismissed.
At the Norton celebration, I ran into Bob McVicar, a former mayoral candidate who has witnessed all kinds of campaigns. His observation of the last-minute questions about campaign finance?
"The signs of the campaign has nothing to do with big money – it had to do with the broad level of support Mel had within the community," said McVicar. He added: "A smart city finally voted for smart leadership."
Over cookies at the Norton victory party, Natalie Godbout (a longtime law partner with Norton) helped me fill in the clean slate that is our new mayor.
"If anyone knew his dad, they'd totally get Mel," said Godbout, referring to Norton's father, who served as a church minister for decades. "It's always been service above anything."
Amidst the celebrations, I also ran into Sandra Norton, the loving mother of two freshly-elected members of Saint John Common Council. I asked her for her thoughts.
"I'm very excited, and very proud," said the mother of the Norton brothers. "I've always loved politics, and I've always loved Saint John."
At least for now, the feeling is mutual. Norton and all the fresh faces on council have made Saint John and its politics feel brand new once more.
As a historian, I've always felt that one of our city's greatest traits has been its ability to fall down, get up and renew itself time and again. We've survived natural and man-made disasters, prolonged economic depressions, and more than one dysfunctional council. Yet we remain standing.
And amid the euphoria of our robust democracy, I can't help but feel like we're standing a little taller this week.
