Dr. Hirsch spoke Monday, June 16th at the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society in San Francisco about his study on taste and smell and the connection to weight loss. Trysensa.com launched on Saturday and the response has been great. In addition, a syndicated health piece has been released by a few local news networks around the country.

Here are some press pieces around the web, everything I could find:

Great review on "Associated Content" about IQ Derma RestorEyes Triple Zone Eye Therapy.

I found a great write-up on a blog about iQ Firmaceuticals Firming Body Gel. The body gel was one of the items we included in the gift bags to bloggers during the Total Beauty event.

My favorite line in the posting… “But it's cellulite cream (well a gel really) and it works. How can I call myself a beauty editor and not share this fabulous thigh and mind altering product? It's like having proof of the Loch Ness monster and keeping it to myself out of some awfully warped sense of pride.”

Here is a link to the Total Beauty site to check out what all the bloggers are saying about the Blogger Summit:

http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/article/tb_blog_summit_08

The event seemed to be a success with bloggers (influencers), brand representatives, Total Beauty representatives and IBINC employees all discussing that which interests us most: the relationship between the Internet and Beauty and Skincare.

It's almost an unfair match. People want information first when buying products they are so intimate with (rubbing it on your face). The Internet and Skincare go hand in hand.

Tonight was an example of how we are all LEADING the way through this wonderful space.

I hope everyone had as good a time as I did. It was a pleasure meeting everyone.

Rachel Jacovino has done a great job coordinating all the moving parts to make sure this event is a big success. I helped load the wine in the fridge today and that took about half an hour. If the amount of champagne and wine is any indication, this will be a great time!
