Reiki channels energy in and out of your body to reduce stress and induce relaxation.

Perhaps the best maintenance program you can be on is not a regular shiatsu massage or an appointment with your manicurist, but a by-appointment-only Reiki session. “It’s like a massage but there’s no squeezing or physical contact — it’s the perfect way to reduce stress, relax, and take out the negative energy,” he explains.

Think Dolce and Gabbana’s super limited liquid gold Motorola RAZR V3i and the gaggle of designers coming out with their own iPod casings, from Chanel and Kate Spade, to Prada and Marc Jacobs. Even jeans are not spared: Levi’s is coming out with its RedWire iPod DLX jeans, where you can actually dock your iPod in the pocket of your Levi’s denim!
