Camp Biche is located a half hour from Cahors, in the south of France. It is situated in an 11th Century mansion perched atop a hill, with views of the surrounding valley. If the scenery doesn’t entice you, the food certainly will. The cuisine is healthy French, prepared by chef Michael Spitali, who also cooks for the queen of Denmark. Highlights of the menu include Cointreau-drench fruit salads, scallops with hollandaise sauce, and of course, French wine.

So, what about exercise? Well, you won’t find any claustrophobic gyms here. Guests come for a minimum seven-day program, which includes daily hikes, yoga, an intensive ab workout, and a massage. Participants get up early, at 4:30, to begin this intensive regime that alternates between vigorous exercise and luxurious pampering.

Each “bootcamp” has a maximum of five participants, so every guest gets a wellness experience tailored just for them and a lot of individual attention. The opulent interiors, majestic surroundings, delicious food, and all-around positive attitude inspire travelers from around the world to ditch their gyms and take a feel-good (and look-good) Camp Biche vacation.

Does it work? Well, Camp Biche is regularly at the top of the lists of the world’s best wellness resorts, and participants regularly write to Libby Pratt, the owner, to tell her that the experience changed their lives. I know it would definitely be easier for me to get through a 16 mile hike if I knew there was a massage waiting for me at the end of it!

The 12-acre property is located in the elite area of Deer Crest and designed to be luxurious from point A to point B, of course.

Now, who wants to book a luxury ski trip?

Inlaid on the snowboards, the crystals will shower you not only in shiny wonderfulness, but also praise from fellow boarders, and maybe a hint of jealously.

Beatle Paul McCartney sent ex-wife Heather Mills a reported $16,000 in birthday gifts.  The gifts included a $4,000 Cartier watch, $10,000 in gift cards & a large bag full of luxury beauty products for the model’s 40th birthday.

Wow, thanks a lot, Paul.  But it doesn’t seem that Heather is returning the favor, as she has hired an ex-MI5 spy to try & catch McCartney acting as an incapable parent to their child.  Well, I guess we all can’t be grateful birthday girls….

No, this is not some kind of magical pod that can take you to the outer reaches of the universe, though it does rather look spacey.

This $5,000 sleeping bag, for lack of a better word, does much more than just provide you with cover for a good night’s sleep.  This bag was designed to treat your body to all kinds of wonderful therapies. 

Just jump in & let this invention give you a steam sauna, enjoy the water jets as well as some good old fashioned oxygen misting.  All this for just $5k.  You know what?  I’ll take two, in pink!

Isn’t it time that you treated your dad to a $3,000 humidor?  I mean, after all that he’s done for you, that’s just pocket change, right?

This lovely Elie Bleu Deluxe Che Cigar Humidor from Vivre offers not only a comfy home for your Cuban friends, but also a very handsome design that will add a nice touch of warmth to any father’s office.

So, you’re a pimp, right?  Well, have you ever had a 24 karat gold facial?  Yeah, I thought not.

You’re next order of business, to keep hold of your well-to-do pimp status, is to head on over to your local spa for a 24 Karat Gold Facial brought to you by the Japanese company UMO.

UMO claims that the gold will lift your skin, while firming it all the while.  Sounds good to me, but do I get to keep the gold after?  Cost, $250.

If you’re a crazed anime fan, then do I have the perfect thing for you!

Say hello to the new $250,000 Platinum Anime Gundam Figurine.  Almost as tough & indestructible as the character himself, this Gundam figurine will be the perfect addition to any collection.  But I guess you could buy a car & a house instead……

Have you ever thought to yourself, ‘Self, my life is wonderful & beautiful, yet it lack something.  Oh yeah, I know.  My very own personal Star Trek Voyager will make my life complete!’?

Well if you have, readers, then this is your luck day!  In a small town, north of London, on a private block in Hinckley, Leicestershire, England you will find a very unlikely house.  No, not a Harry Potter house this time, folks.  A real live Star Trek-themed studio apartment.  When you ring Englishman Tony Alleyne’s door, you will be greeted by Patrick Stewart saying “Welcome to the 24th century.”

That’s right.  Alleyne went bankrupt by totally remodeling his studio apartment to look exactly like the inside of the Starship Enterprise.  Alleyne plans on placing his Star Trek apartment on eBay later this month with a starting bid of $200,000.  Wow, either Tony is one dedicated Star Trek fan or one crazy businessman.

As of right now, Tony’s flat includes “AEI Security Systems, Vos System voice-activated lighting, running light modules, AgiLight z-LED lighting, and a DeLonghi air conditioning system.”  Which I suppose were all a part of the Voyager?  Tell you what, Tony, include Patrick Stewart in the apartment & we’ll call it a deal!

Why at DesignMiami, where some of Dutch designer Marcel Wanders’ lovely creations live!  And that’s where Beyonce reportedly saw, fell in love with & paid more than $40,000 for one of those delightful Knitted Chairs from Wanders.  They are beautiful and made from white cotton with coated epoxy resin.  But isn’t that a little much for a freeking chair?  I guess that’s why I’m not Beyonce & she’s not behind a laptop complaining about how much a doily chair is.
