Robert Calcraft Founder of REN Skincare On UK’s The Secret Millionaire Show
Robert Calcraft or Rob Calcraft one of the founders on REN Skincare has recently appeared on UK’s reality television show The Secret Millionaire.
I’m still a huge REN Skincare fan, in fact REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash is one my favorite body washes ever! It is so pure and delicate I even use it on my boys (3 and 10 months).
REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash is also a must-have green summer body wash, especially after-sun I like to use gentle body washes to sooth my skin. And the REN body wash aroma is very delicate and light! Perfect for the hot summer days or night!
Robert Calcraft & Antony Buck in an interview with me about REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash back in June 2007:
“It is one of the very few products out there that contain (ridiculously expensive) real rose otto oil. The oil we use is extracted using steam rather than chemicals so it is even purer. The fragrance you get from the real thing is so extraordinary that once tried you can’t forget it. In addition and as with all our products there’s no petrochemicals, sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrance etc etc so the whole experience is very different (and much nicer) than your run of the mill body wash.”

The Hairstyle: A modern style with straight, sleek hair at the roots and textured thickness through the length.
“This look is reminiscent of natural summer hair. The top might be flattened from a scarf covering at the beach all day and the ends are textured and wind-blown. To create the look at home, create a sleek part and work Aveda Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener through the top portion of hair. Backcomb ends with your fingers to create texture and spray Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Veil for added shine.”-Kurt Lowry for Aveda

Tom Brady’s Interview for All American Stetson
Tom Brady is a handsome all American boy who also happens to be the spokesman for the latest All American Stetson fragrance for men.
Here is an interview with Tom Brady where he is talking about All American Stetson. He gives advice to women on how to buy cologne for their significant other. How he manages to stay grounded with all his amazing fame, and what is the best part of being Tom Brady!
How does All American Stetson differ from Stetson Original?
All American is a cologne that has a fresh and younger feel. It’s very modern. All American is the next generation of Stetson, it’s the NEW classic.
What makes this new Stetson cologne “All American?”
I think a lot of people would agree that being “American” is a state of mind that we all take pride in. It’s being adventurous, being free-spirited and it’s also about expressing a certain confidence. All American captures this kind of American ideal of “living free and living true.”
Who do you think this fragrance will appeal to?
All American is for the guy who lives life to the fullest. It smells great and has a cool, modern edge.
