On the Radar: McCarter Coffee and Moroccan Oil

I went to lunch with some friends yesterday and the topic of coffee came up and which brands we like. One of them mentioned McCarter Coffee and I learned it's a local coffee roaster in Millington who roast and brew their special selection of coffee from all over the world. As fate would have it, I went to a dinner last night and the hosts served McCarter coffee which they had picked up at the downtown farmers market earlier in the day. I remarked on how good it was and will be picking up a pound next week. You can buy it at their store, online and at several locations around town, click here for the full list: http://www.mccartercoffee.com/location.html

The other product on the radar that's worth mentioning: Moroccan Oil. Where have I been and how long has this stuff been around? Genius. Pure genius. It's expensive yes, but now that I've used it myself I can say it's so worth it. It's an oil for your hair that smells fantastic, makes your hair super soft and takes all the frizz away. You use just the tiniest amount in your hair when it's damp and style it however you normally do. Even though it's an oil, it does not make your hair oily or weigh it down. The Downtown Gould's in the Peabody carries it as do all the Gould's locations, I think, and a few other places around town. And of course, you can always get it online : www.moroccanoil.com
