Accessories: Blackbox Case For MacBook Pro

The aluminum uni-body on the Apple MacBook Pro is a work of art, simply one of the best looking laptops of all time. But every once in a while, it cries out for something a little more organic. That's where the Blackbox Case comes in. Each case is made from a solid piece of oak and is lined with felt. They come in two sizes: 13-inch and 15-inch, to correspond with your MacBook for a perfect fit. So give your computer a little facelift and protect it at the same time! (oh yea, Blackbox will donate 15% of proceeds to charity). Click HERE for more info ($130).

Advice and Tips: Grooming - Use an Exfoliator

Bottom line:

An exfoliants fights the aging process. How? It's a product that sloughs off dead skin cells and helps unclog pores. Removing all the gunk from your skin will reveal a new layer of cells, meaning your epidermis will be visibly brighter and younger looking.

How to use it:

The skin cell turnover cycle takes approximately 28 days, so don't exfoliate more than about twice a month. When selecting an exofoliant, search for a product with fine grains as it will be gentle and won't scratch your skin. For more mature skin, exfoliants containing alpha- or beta-hydroxy acids are a smart choice.

Music: Fran Healy - Wreckorder

Some of you may be familiar with the band Travis, as we've featured them here on GentDaily. Back in October, however, Travis frontman Fran Healy released his first solo album, Wreckorder. As it flew undetected below our radar until now, we're bringing it to your attention today. If you're a Travis fan, this solo effort will leave you happy. Fran brings the same slow melodies and flowing vocals that made Travis such a success to Wreckorder and the results are great. Take a listen to a few sample tracks below.
