ORS stands for “Organic Root Stimulator.” Strange name; effective as all get out. One of my girlfriends told me, “ORS Replenishing Pak is the truth.” I agree. Yes, it is. Best deep conditioner on earth. Chicas, if you don’t already know about this amazing protein deep conditioner, you really should. You should have seen my hair all last week after conditioning with the Replenishing Pak. I confess that I flipped my long hair over my shoulders in public more times than I should say. I should retain a modicum of sanity; or at least, the appearance of it. Remember those Herbal Essences commercials with the chick in the shower having a hairgasm? That was me. Any good beauty supply store carries these Paks. **Beginning of rant:** I just hope now that the word is out about ORS they don’t go and change their formula, trying to cut corners in their formulation to save themselves a buck in production. If they do, I’m retracting my praise and boycotting them - maybe even publicly. Nothing peeves me more than finally finding an excellent beauty product, only to have it slip out of my grasp like holding water in my hands. Manufacturers - if your product is good - LEAVE IT ALONE. Raise the price if you must, but don’t tamper with a working formula. I’m warning you - change the formula of this Replenishing Pak, and I’m coming after you with my slipper. **End of rant.** These Paks are just fantastic. Ladies, your tresses will be incredibly satiny, silky and glossy and you’ll get compliments for days. Your hair stays moist, moist, moist after deep conditioning with a Pak. All the softness your hands can handle! *Everyone* will want to touch your hair. I had to literally politely ask people to not touch my hair. So I found my holy grail weekly deep conditioner in this lifetime. Yay me! You know how they say clothes make the man? Well, hair makes the woman…especially this one. Tue 25 Sep 2007 ## [The Artist Formerly Known As The Rock: My Interview!](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/25/the-artist-formerly-known-as-the-rock-my-interview/) Posted by GoodLuckDeluxe under [Hollywood](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/category/hollywood/) [[2] Comments](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/25/the-artist-formerly-known-as-the-rock-my-interview/#comments) So guess what I did over the weekend. I said guess *what* I did. I attended the private screening of The Game Plan, starring Dwayne Johnson, and I interviewed him at the film’s press junket. But let’s remember that Dwayne doesn’t go by his old wrestling moniker, The Rock, anymore - so please get it right. Darling readers, sorry I haven’t blogged in a week, but hey. You would be MIA if you were in my shoes, too, so cut a blogger some slack! You can check out my interview of Dwayne Johnson [**here.**](http://www.blackfilm.com/20070921/features/dwaynejohnson.shtml) And before you ask, he didn’t do the eyebrow thingy. Not even once. Wed 19 Sep 2007 ## [The Tiffany Mark Timepiece!](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/19/the-tiffany-mark-timepiece/) Posted by GoodLuckDeluxe under [Luxury](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/category/luxury/) [No Comments](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/19/the-tiffany-mark-timepiece/#respond) I have had my eye on [The Tiffany Mark](http://www.tiffany.com/shopping/item.aspx?sku=17042092&cid=96673&mcat=9000) timepiece lately. It’s absolutely gorgeous, isn’t it? Just the facts, ma’am (and sir): **The Tiffany Mark® large chronograph** Self-winding, mechanical movement 18k gold on a farmed alligator strap 3 hands: hours, minutes and counter for elapsed seconds 2 sub-dials: small sweep seconds and counter for elapsed minutes 49 glorious jewels Love it!

Grilled Bananas Foster Grilled Poundcake with Spiked Peaches and Plums Tropical Fruit Salad with Yogurt Dip Happy grilling!

This video illustrates how flan is made in Spain, which is not poured into individual ramekins, but is rather served as one large custard dessert to be sliced. Yum! Enjoy your Latin food this fall. I sure will! Sun 16 Sep 2007 ## [Sweet Sunday: Coffee-Glazed, Sugary Macadamias!](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/16/sweet-sunday-coffee-glazed-sugary-macadamias/) Posted by GoodLuckDeluxe under [Food and Beverages](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/category/food/) , [Sweet Sunday](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/category/food/sweet-sunday/) [No Comments](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/16/sweet-sunday-coffee-glazed-sugary-macadamias/#respond) I must confess that I’ve been snacking on these non-stop…especially with my morning cup of java. I’m a live wire all day! There’s really not much to report about these macadamias except to mention they’re highly addictive. Combining Hawaiian coffee with sugar, butter and macadamias is just asking for trouble. But it’s trouble that I’ll gladly subject myself to time and time again. **Let’s be clear:** I have no intention of ever abstaining from these things. For those gluttonous souls who care to join me, they can be easily ordered [from here.](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=B000IZVBVY%26tag=goolucdel-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/B000IZVBVY%253FSubscriptionId=0EMV44A9A5YT1RVDGZ82) And you thought honey roasted peanuts were something!

You know how much I love dancing babies! Watch little Chloe as she forms the Soul Train line…wearing only one sock! Sun 16 Sep 2007 ## [Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding?!](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/16/krispy-kreme-bread-pudding/) Posted by GoodLuckDeluxe under [Food and Beverages](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/category/food/) , [Sweet Sunday](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/category/food/sweet-sunday/) [No Comments](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/16/krispy-kreme-bread-pudding/#respond) Why didn’t anyone tell me about this recipe? I should not be **just now** hearing about it! I love bread pudding, but I love Krispy Kremes even more. What in the world does the Krispy Kreme bakery put in their doughnuts - CRACK?! Seriously, those aren’t normal doughnuts. I smuggle them into my house like drugs, and I am not kidding. No one but me knows how many Krispy Kremes I can down in one sitting…even more when I’m hormonal. Anyhoo, enjoy this Paula Deen video. And don’t forget the rum sauce! Sun 16 Sep 2007 ## [Fall is Near: It’s Gumbo Time!](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/16/fall-is-near-its-gumbo-time/) Posted by GoodLuckDeluxe under [Food and Beverages](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/category/food/) [1 Comment](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/16/fall-is-near-its-gumbo-time/#comments) I love Monica Mingo’s super simple gumbo recipe. She really simplifies the process, which I appreciate. Some folks prefer to brown their poultry and meat first, but if you’re going for easy, do it Monica’s way. I always add a cup of good red wine and some grated fresh ginger root to my gumbo. Emeril - eat your heart out! Sat 15 Sep 2007 ## [Yummy: Caribbean Black Bean Soup!](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/15/yummy-caribbean-black-bean-soup/) Posted by GoodLuckDeluxe under [Food and Beverages](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/category/food/) [No Comments](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/15/yummy-caribbean-black-bean-soup/#respond) This cooking video is similar to how I make my black-eyed peas. I always add a can of coconut milk to mine with some scallions and fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, which makes them oh-so-good. Cook those babies in a crockpot for hours, and you’re about to savor a little slice of heaven! If you were deprived of bean dishes as a child, it’s never too late to learn. Check out this video! Oh, and please don’t bug me about the host of the show being anything but of Caribbean descent. I don’t care. That soup is bangin’. Just in time for fall! — [Next Page »](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/09/page/2/) Design Downloaded from [www.vanillamist.com](http://www.vanillamist.com)
