Turn On to Chanel 5

Advantages: A classic
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Now we're into December, the annual frenzy of consumerism that is Xmas is in full flow, and with it those shopping decisions that will determine whether you spend the festive season in the fun-house, or the dog-house. Here's my tip for the guys. If you can afford it, buy her CHANEL No 5. It's expensive, but it will tell her you think she's worth every penny! (which of course she is). It?s probably the most famous brand of perfume in the world, one that everyone has heard of, and she'll know you think she's special. CHANEL is French (there's a surprise), the French are well known for producing the best fragrances. COCO CHANEL revolutionized the fashion world in the 1920?s, and when she introduced Chanel no.5 in 1923, she was onto a winner with that as well. One of the good things about CHANEL is that it is timeless. This isn...

Cookworks Rice Cooker 1.5 Litre

Advantages: Cheap and accurate
Disadvantages: Does not have power off button

...Cookworks Rice Cooker 1.5 Litre Precise, Accurate. Just wash rice add correct amount of water , pop on the lid & go do something else for 10 minutes....... come back to lovely fluffy rice. Even keeps the rice warm for you if you are busy with the curry or someone has rung you on the phone. Keeps hot for as long as you want, an hour is okay! The rice is just right temperature when you get back to it. You can be sure it doesnt burn at the bottom if you have the correct amount of rice to water measurement unlike the traditional method where you have to keep an eye on the pan, in case it boils over or boils dry, its automatic. Its a very nice cooker with 1.5 ltr capacity Have been using it for 3.5 year without any problem Good for a family of 4 Does not have a power off button so have to turn off from mains Normal...

Review of Cookworks Round RICE Cooker White

Chilled water for only 5p a litre

Advantages: Pure clean cold water
Disadvantages: None

...Healthy living made easy! We all know that we are supposed to drink more water than we should, but tap water doesn?t taste nice and bottled water gets expensive? The answer for me is a counter top water chiller that uses a Brita Maxtra Water filter. This costs me about 5p per litre for filtered, chilled fresh tasting water. The water tastes great, the filter removes limescale, chlorine (which smells and tastes bad) aluminium and certain heavy metals (like copper and lead) along with certain pesticides. Organic impurities are also reduced. *Assembly: This is straightforward. Simply take the unit out of the box and remove the polystyrene packaging. Wash the clear plastic lid, upper and filtered water tanks in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. You then need to reassemble the tanks as they came out of the packaging. Put...

Review of Brita Aqua Fountain

Chanel No. 5 - eternal Femininity.

Advantages: sensual and feminine floral hart, good staying powder
Disadvantages: aldehydes - not everyone is used to this smell; can be found old-fashioned

...Chanel No. 5 will always remain a controversial perfume. Although used and praised for decades it's still a love or hate fragrance. I think it's because of aldehydes, the most important constituents of this fragrance. They possess a waxy, fatty smell that often makes think on washed and dried clothe. Aldehydes are found in nature (for example in a citrus peel), but never in amounts used in Chanel No. 5. That makes this smell a bit unnatural from one side, but it also gives an interesting exotic twist. In my opinion EDP is much softer than EDT version - the aldehydes are less sharp and the floral bouquet is more prominent. On my skin it starts with a fresh citrus note that slightly fades into a floral hart of orange blossom, rose and jasmine. An ultimate feminine bouquet, but modernized with waxy sharpness of the aldehydes...

Cookworks white round 3.5 litre slow cooker

Advantages: convenient, unattended cooking possible, dishes never over-cooked
Disadvantages: Lasted for only 3 months - inner crock leaking.

...I have no previously experience in using slow cookers however I do know that these cookers are good for convenient cooking i.e. put everything in the cooker in the morning, go to work, come back home and have a cooked meal ready for you. I intended to use it for soups and casseroles. In January I decided to have one and I saw this Cookworks slow cooker on January Sales at Argos for £10.99 (normal price £12.69). Before I bought it I have a quick look at the reviews of this cooker at the Argos website - plenty of reviews (~50) and almost 5-stars rating (max.). Also, there is forum in the moneysavingexpert website dedicated to this cooker and lots of praise about this cooker. When I got it, it comes with very brief manual and basic instructions for use and some 'do's and 'don't's. The cooker is easy to assemble - a removable inner...

Review of Cookworks SC35 Round S/Cooker White

Can you think of 5 places to dab it

Advantages: Smells wonderful, suits any occasion and most people, samples easily available
Disadvantages: A little costly

...I?m not a big perfume wearer, I often investigate new perfumes, but rarely find one I like, and there are just two perfumes which I like to keep in the house at all times. One is Rive Gauche and the other is Chanel No.5 Of these two, the Chanel is without a doubt my favourite. Evening or daytime, casual or formal Chanel No.5 works for me. Chanel No.5 has been around for a long time. Coco Chanel (famous fashion designer of the 1920?s) introduced this perfume to the world in 1923. I use it, my mother uses it, and I recently found out that my Grandmother used it for many years until she died too. It is one of those timeless perfumes, and dress a girl in modern Jeans and Jacket, 1920?s flapper outfit or Victorian crinoline and I believe this perfume would not smell out of place. ***The Look*** The Distinctive linked C?s of Chanel...

Tekken 5

Advantages: Old and new characters
Disadvantages: tricky bad guy/boss

...The tekken game series has always been a winner and the latest addition is no exception to the rule. many of the old favourites are back including Jin, lei, nina.... there are also some familiar faces back after a break including baek. as always there are the hidden characters, my favourite being devil jin, i never got to grips with the change in jins fighting style in tekken 4 so i was delighted to find that devil jin had all his original moves) there are some great extra features including the chance to earn money so you can customise the characters. the boss is a real tricky one and a tad disturbing! it comes with the classic storylines and character backgrounds/relationships. the graphics are amazing as is the gameplay. Tekken 5 is a classic beat 'em up tournament game. It is actually the 6th in the Tekken series which...

Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 17" TFT

Advantages: nice screen, good battery life, fast specs
Disadvantages: large size (price?)

...Apple mac-books, where to start... ok, so to start, it is an apple, that means you get a solid quality product and on the whole very good customer are. this particualar apple is deffinatly more suited to being a media center than other laptops. At first glance you realise that it is a fairly large laptop, this allows for a big screen, which being an apple ffers clear vivid displays, unfortunatly the big screen increases the overal size and also uses more battery, however, the 4.5 hour yattery is still very good for an entertainment laptop. The laptops technical specs include a very fast 2.5 ghz dual core proccesor which is very fast, the dual core allows it to tackle multiple tasks quicly as well as increasing the overall speed of the laptop. The price is quite steep however, but i believe, if given the money, it is...

Discovery TD5 ES 7

Advantages: Goes and carries everything, everywhere.
Disadvantages: Not quickly....

...rare I travel at peak times, so my figures may be higher than others. Tyres are expensive, but go buy a set of General AT2's for it, yes they will set you back over £700 for the 5, but they will last 70,000 miles. Makes it a bit more palettable compared to 20,000 miles for the Pirelli's. The other advantage mine has, is the 7 seats.Saves taking 2 cars at times, who say's they can't save you money? Kids love the rear most seats, especially if you have the extra radio points in the back. Over all, if you have a use for this type of vehicle, then you could do a lot worse than the Discovery. Jap stuff breaks down too, and the cost of parts is no where near theirs. I think it's a fantastic vehicle, a true all rounder....

COD5

Advantages: Graphics, Nazi Zombies, Trophy Sytem
Disadvantages: Maps, Guns, WW2

...Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare was my favourite game of all time. So needless to say I could not wait for this title to be released. When I found out that the game was being based on the World War again I was a little disappointed and worried that it would not be as good as COD4. And in my opinion I was right to think this. I spend most of my time playing this game online. So the maps are an important factor in my enjoyment of the game. However I have completer the story mode on Regular in around 5-8 hours (I'm not the best). The missions are quite good, but it can be frusrtating when more and more enemy soldiers keep appearing. A counter of how many enemies are left would be a good option to have. You play two different stories, one as a Russian and the other as an American. Both are just as equally challenging and enjoyable...
