They Fit Just Like A Glove

Advantages: Provides relief and protects hands.
Disadvantages: Not widely available on the high street. Need to come in other sizes.

Our hands take a beating, we use our hands for everything this combined with chemicals, soaps and harsh weather can leave our hands feeling dry and sore. Since having my daughter 13 years ago I find that I have to wash my hands a lot more, and even more so now that I have a 2 year old. In the winter my hands suffer and become dry and sore very quickly. The skin on my hands becomes dry and this causes the skin on my hands to crack and even bleed. ...
...place to have dry sore skin. So if my hands are suffering it makes everyday tasks uncomfortable and if my hands are feeling tender and I catch them on something this can cause the skin to break. Ouch! When we get dry skin on other areas of our body we can moisturise and it is usually easier to soothe other areas that are not being moved as much. When it is on our hands it is not as easy because they are being used all the time, and if the skin is ...

Review of Jasmine Silk Cotton Moisturising Gloves

** A Positive Step Towards Slightly Smoother Feet **

Advantages: Smooths already well maintained feet, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive, does not get rid of hard skin.

** The Body shop ** Most people know about The Body Shop brand or have heard about it at some point in their life but in case you haven't this is a very brief run down of who they and what they do. The Body Shop is a HUGE company, it has over 2400 stores in 61 countries and they have a product range of over 1200 different products, and this is growing all the time!! The Body Shop was originally set up in 1976 by human rights activist Dame Anita ...
...terms of caring for the environment and everything in it. Hence, why all of their products are naturally sourced, not tested on animals and all fair trade. This means all people who are part of making the Body shop products, especially in developing countries, get a decent income. Thumbs up to an organisation that puts others to shame! Because of all this I feel it is beneficial to buy a lot of my beauty products from The Body Shop, but another reason ...

Review of The Body Shop File A Foot

My Happy Feet

Advantages: Comfort, stability, shock absorbing sole.
Disadvantages: Only available in one colour.

Avon's Claim Avon claim that these flip flops help to stabilise feet to improve posture and enhance your natural walking motion, helping to tone legs while you walk, and that the shock absorbing sole cushions feet. My Experience I had heard a lot of praise for the brand Fitflops this year, but the price of £36-£50 put me off. This sounded to me like Avon's cheaper take on this increasingly popular footwear. I am lucky that I have a very ...
...am absolutely certain that these Avon Toning Flip Flops are the best flip flops I have ever owned in turns of comfort and stability. Other flip flops have caused the balls of my feet to hurt if I have tried to walk too far in them, and have made me more likely to trip up than in other types of footwear. I'm not sure about how much they are toning my muscles, as I would have expected the gardening I have been doing, as well as the amount of walking ...

Review of Avon Toning Flip Flops

Pearls? I invented them, darling!

Advantages: Applicator, wrapper, box
Disadvantages: The size it swells to

...strolled through the door with Tampax Pearl. I even wished my period to come quicker! They were on offer at Morrisons so she got them for me to try. I usually use regular tampax with the cardboard applicator, I prefer it to the plastic, it just feels nicer, and plus I can flush it all (even though they advise you don't!) which you can't do with plastic. So today I wake up and low and behold - my monthly gift had arrived, hoorah! The box is resealable ...
...Pearl without a little bit of leaking. In summary, I'd stick with my regular tampax in future. I feel wasteful using such a posh seeming product when I'm comfortable with my bog standard cardboard ones. Those of you who use compak though, I'd definitely recommend to! -Sephs ...

Review of Tampax Pearl

Benefit Wonder Mitt is a real circulation booster & exfoliator!

Advantages: Boosts circulation, exfoliates and cleanses
Disadvantages: Needs to be washed out after each use and occasional machine wash

I have been using my Benefit Wonder Mitt for around 6 years and its still as good as new! It goes in a hot machine wash every so often and over the years has saved me a fortune in body scrubs. The Wonder Mitt is worn as a glove and has two sides, one soft flannel-like side for your face and chest and an exfoliating side which feels similar to velcro! Its best used lathered up with a moisturing soap or shower gel, i gently scrub my entire body using ...
...first, it feels VERY stimulating and scratchy and my skin turns red and tingles as my circulation is given a massive boost, it really wakes up my skin and senses and removes dead sluggish skin. I always feel like a new person stepping out of the bath after using the Wonder Mitt, this leaves skin glowing with health and not at all irritated. Its great for preparing skin to moisturise or tan. ...
