Sometimes I wonder if the women I see on TV ever get old? While common sense dictates they should and do, what is it they do differently that has an age-reversing effect on them? A closer look tells me that, other than cosmetic surgery, special diets and workouts, the ultimate secret of eternal good looks–they all take excellent care of their hair and choose the right hairstyle to suit their face and match the occasion.
What is the one thing the fantastic looks of these celebrities have in common? You guessed it–it’s their glamorous hair. Well, that’s not all there is to it. They all use GHD straighteners, too, to keep their hair looking sleek, smooth and shiny–and celebrity-like!
And now, non-celebrities like us don’t need to strive to too hard to achieve a celebrity-like hair-do. We too can have the GHD hair straighteners, considered the pinnacle of hair styling products.
GHD has gained a worldwide reputation for excellence in hair stylers and hair straighteners. The hair doesn’t get pulled or stretched and looks smooth and glossy after the styling. Depending on your choice, you may also curl, twist, flick, wave, bounce, ringlet, lift and frizz the hair.
With the sky rocketing popularity of GHD products, naturally, there has been concern that fake GHD products are being sold through salons and on websites. However, Compare-GHD is one online outlet where you never have to worry about buying a GHD fake. Compare-GHD researchers monitor the web constantly and show you the best value on GHD products from official GHD retailers. The prices are reliable and you’ll also find that Compare-GHD offers you some of the best deals on GHD straighteners and hair care.
October is the month of pink–Breast Cancer Awareness month. To highlight this cause, GHD has launched the limited edition Pink mk4 ceramic hair styler. GHD will donate £10 to Breakthrough Breast Cancer from every pink GHD styler sold. Last year alone 55,000 pink stylers were sold raising £404,650 for charity. The pink GHD straightener is a limited edition and comes with a gorgeous hot pink carry case and detachable roll mat.
While all these products are exciting enough, GHD does have some special up its sleeve for the upcoming holiday season–the GHD Christmas Gift Bag 2007, which is a limited edition as well and is all set to be the seasonal must have.
The Christmas Gift Bag is suave and elegant, with a load of beauty goodies tucked in. The travel sized thermodynamics range includes the GHD mk4 styler, GHD styling bag, GHD shampoo, GHD conditioner, opulence mask, obedience cream, thermal protector for hair and a styling bag. The Gift Bag itself is a luxuriously cream soft leather bag which unzips to form a heat resistant mat. The expertly designed bag is versatile that is perfect for a night out or travelling–not to mention being a unique gift to warm up the Christmas cheer!
And that’s just not about all. At Compare-GHD, you’ll also find the legendary mk4, the summer gift bag, the mini straightener as well as the new mk5 scheduled for launch in 2008.
Compare-GHD.com displays in a convenient tabulated form the prices of GHD products from several official and well-known stockists and retailers such as HQ Hair, Beauty Sleuth, Jason Shankey, the Funky Group, Beauty Bay and more. The best part of shopping from Compare-GHD lies in the fact that you know you’re seeing the best prices for genuine GHD products from official dealers, and what’s more, you can even visit the retailer with a single click to complete your purchase in total confidence.
Compare-GHD is not just a retail site but is also engaged in trading and wedding and salon supplies. If you’re planning on buying GHD products in bulk for any project or special occasions, why not try contacting Kirsty? You could be in for a pleasant surprise.

In a move to symbolize the spirit of their collection, Dooney & Bourke has tapped actress Hayden Panettiere as their new spokesperson.
Hayden visioned the bag to be a large leather shoulder bag with puffy pleats, a buckle closure and great style. Peter Dooney and his design team took Hayden’s vision and created the limited edition Hayden Bag, which will retail for about $500.
Dooney & Burke, most famous for their line of handbags, are continuing their five year tradition of introducing their trend collection aimed at today’s youth. With this deal, Hayden Panettiere joins Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, and Emma Roberts, who have all taken on the role of being the spokeswomen for the brand.
The new ad campaign is set to debut next month, and the bags are scheduled to hit Dooney & Burke retail boutiques by the end of the year. The bags will also be available at Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, and dooney.com.
Dooney & Bourke has built their reputation over 30 years as a leader in the accessories market with their commitment to superior materials, expert craftsmanship, and classic styling.

Oscar-winning Hollywood star Julia Roberts has designed a bracelet for Giorgio Armani to mark World AIDS Day. The bohemian-style leather bracelets will be available in stores on February 1.
The bracelets, featuring silver clasps, are designed in red for women and brown for men and bear an imprint of a symbolic “tree of life” with the slogan “Revolution-Evolution-Devotion” (an acronym for Product RED). Look on the interior, and you’ll find Roberts’ insignia “J.R.”
It is the first time the Italian designer has worked with another name on any project. The fashion house chose the materials and colors for the bracelet.
“Julia has helped to create a beautiful accessory for both women and men, which will also be a visible reminder of the part we can all play in fighting AIDS in Africa,” said Giorgio Armani.
Proceeds benefit Product RED, the business initiative started by U2 front man Bono and Bobby Shriver to help battle HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Fashion Week Daily has reported that the RED bracelets will be available exclusively online at www.emporioarmani.com starting on World AIDS Day on December 1.

Christina Applegate has stepped out of her way (and her clothes) to convince holiday buyers not to buy fur during the gift giving season.
In support of animal rigts group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the vegetarian actress wears nothing but a pair of festive gloves, a necklace and a smile in an e-card. Her campaign slogan goes, “Cross cruelty off your shopping list by avoiding fur coats, collars and cuffs – unless it’s fake of course.”
Addressing those planning on buying a fur item for a gift, the Sweetest Thing star tells PETA: “They make really great synthetic fur—you really don’t need real fur. And it’s cheaper, so why spend the money?
“The holidays are also a time when people freak out about their finances. If you don’t want to spend the money, why not try some of the other options instead of killing a bunch of animals?”
Christina, who is a vegetarian and animal lover told PEOPLE that her house ‘has been basically a zoo’ since childhood. She said, “Everything I have has dog hair on it, and that’s just the way it is.”
The 35-year-old actress, who’s currently starring in the new hit show ‘Samantha Who?’, also said she decided to become a vegetarian while she was still a teenager on the set of her U.S. TV sitcom, “Married…With Children.”
“I realized I can’t eat something that has been alive. So I stopped, and that was it. That was the last time,” she added.
Christina joins the ranks of Alicia Silverstone, Alyssa Milano, Maggie Q and Dominique Swain in stripping off for the charity movement.

When you let your imagination fly about jewelry, you need to be able to look at plenty of choices in the kind of product, design, material and the price. To top it, it has to be the latest! I had to look up quite a few online jewelry stores to zero in on MyJewelryBox.com, an online jewelry store, which brings you the most up-to-date jewelry styling that you see on the TV and the runways at unbeatbale prices.
You can search for your piece of jewelry by product, material and price ranges. You’ll find hundreds of styles and designs in rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, engagement and wedding rings. These could be in gold or silver and further embesllished by diamonds, gemstones, citrines or pearls.

You can also search by very flexible budget ranges, starting at under $100 and up to over $5000. You can also display the results list sorted by prices or newest.
Christmas jewelry specials? MyJewelryBox offers a range of collections in what they call ‘Christmas Treasures’, which again can be browsed for various price ranges, starting at less than $250. The website also has a section on featured collections, beginning with Top Sellers (all time hot designs in earrings, pendants, bracelets and rings), an exclusive Tennis Diamond Bracelets Collection, Diamond Stud Earrings Collection, a Wedding & Engagement Center, Crislu Jewelry Store with platinum over sterling silver with sparkling cubic zirconias, Birthstone Shop and the ever popular New Arrivals section. Don’t forget take a look at the ‘Bargain of the Week’, though.
