I received an excellent Four Hand Massage from June and Nadia while in LA.  I had never indulged in this type of extravagance, because I always assumed a longer 2 hand would be better.  In truth I have never had such a great massage.  Both June and Nadia are very conversational, fun, and friendly, and [...]

Sometimes people create a product with out thinking about what people should be using it for, and how they are going to use it. Cell phones live in people’s pockets, sit on desks, and have caller ID.    Well not this one. If you want a phone that looks different than all the others this is [...]
