According to Gage, they actually put those teeth to good use. And he, Gage, has met them. Dinah is skeptical, but as the story unfolds and the storm rages on, she begins to believe.

Released on DVD yesterday, the original Mod Squad TV show will transport you right back to the 60s in an instant!

Meet Pete, Linc and Julie: The Mod Squad. This trio consisted of rich, long-haired Pete Cochran, Lincoln “Linc” Hayes from the tough streets of inner city Los Angeles, and beautiful flower child Julie Barnes, a runaway from San Francisco. They’re recruited by police captain Adam Greer (Tiger Andrews) for a covert unit that will help bridge the generation gap. Each week these three cops with love beads wrestled with criminals – and their own consciences. They may have been the “fuzz,” but they were determined to never compromise their values. They were The Mod Squad!

Excellent!

I was at Target last month (and every other month before that) to pick up my favorite and surprisingly inexpensive shampoo, John Frieda Sheer Blonde (comes in other hair colors too). It smells good without being overpowering, it makes my hair look great, and I can find it everywhere for about $7. But this time I noticed something new sitting next to it on the shelf, and on impulse I bought it. This turned out to be a fantastic decision!

John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze is this amazing product you let sit on your hair for a few minutes after you shampoo and condition. It incorporates a salon-style “glazing” treatment for shine and body, plus it adds a teensy bit of temporary color in a shade similar to your natural (or not :) color to give it some oomph.

This stuff rocks

After one use my hair was shinier and significantly smoother, and after about a week I decided I would never be without this product again. It is simple to use — just smoosh it through your hair and leave it there for a couple minutes– has no strong fragrance, and is affordable like the rest of the John Frieda products.

Where to buy

The best prices are online, and at Drugstore.com you can even get it shipped free if you get a couple of items to bring your total up to at least $49. (Secret fact about me: I love free shipping!!)

And right now Drugstore.com is having a great deal on shipping for new customers. If you’ve never used them before, the minimum for Free Shipping is just $25, so you have no excuse not to try them now :)
