1. 08 Trek Madone 5.2 ($3,099.99) at CycleWerks at The CAMP 2937 S Bristol St in Costa Mesa. 714.751.9551
My husband's beloved triathlon bike was mangled in a parking garage accident. (He forgot it was on the roof of his car). He needs this bike for future triathlons. I wish that I could buy it.

My favorite hairstylist, Ron Perez at Images Salon, suggested that I try Nanowax. It keeps unsightly fly-away hairs tamed. 100% vegan and it smells great.
