Portable speakers with a kick

Advantages: Relatively powerful
Disadvantages: A bit big

...You know how it is ? you go away from home for a week or so, but you can hardly lug your 6 hi-fi separates to the coast with you, so you take your tape/CD/minidisc player as a kind of more minimalist approach. It?s not really the same when you?re in your room though is it? So, what are your options? Well, you could go out and buy some of those little sports speakers, but quite frankly, the sound quality of those things is like playing your music with a plastic cup and string, and you could very easily break wind and drown out the music, so pitiful is the volume. What you need are some active(powered) speakers, which will plug into the wall and give you the quality and volume that you need. The Goodmans Active 45 Speakers are a godsend. 20 watts PMPO, they?re not exactly going to blow out any windows, but they sure do pack a punch...

dermalogica active moist lotion

Advantages: lovely smell, verry hyrdating and lightweight
Disadvantages: have to use with other dermalogica products not so good on its own

...dermalogica active moist is recommended for skin prone to oiliness and is a lightweight lotion which provides daily moisture protection to combat surface dehydration. It contains silk amino acids, and natural botanicals of lemon, cucumber and burdock with no artificial colour or fragrance. It comes in a slim white tube - i do hate pot moisturisers they seem so unhygienic so this was great in that respect and it really lasts for ages despite the steep prices dermalogica products do work out to be quite economical over a long period. Always get your skin mapped by a dermalogica professional before purchasing to avoid all that trial and error when you start using a new regime. I would say this moisturiser is lovely, light and easily absorbed when used with a full regime of dermalogica cleansers and toners and scrubs. When I first bought...

'Actively' Hurts!!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Far too rough!

...of you who are interested in this fact and is from the 'Active Naturals' range: • A cleansing vegetable-based soap. • Contains rice bran to gently exfoliate. • Leaves skin feeling smooth and refreshed. • Contains ginger extract. ~ My Experience ~ On the little bit of paper that was attached to the 'cling film' type packaging, the consumer is advised to 'work the soap on to wet skin to create an exfoliating creamy lather'. - Smell - There is a very delicate hint of ginger in the scent. A good unisex soap in the sense that I won't leave a bloke walking around with a strong floral scent, unless that's what he wants! - Texture and Exfoliating Properties - When this is initially opened it really doesn't feel rough, however after the first wash it becomes extremely rough on the skin and I would even go so far...

Paranormal Activity - a living nightmore

Advantages: Scary - You will be hooked
Disadvantages: Unsure if real footage or re-enacted

...I am reviewing a movie - Paranormal Activity - A story of a couple moving into a california house. However the woman has had a strange past where unexplained events events occured. And now these occurences are happening again, but now their more dangerous and scary than before. In order to fully capture these weird occurances, her boyfriend buys a camera, and sets smaller cameras around the house.And the weird occurances are being captured, and are becoming more frequent as every day passed. THINGS ARE VERY WRONG IN THIS HOUSE - ITS SCARY. My Opinion: I did not know what to expect when i first saw this movie, i thought it was just a silly scary movie, but 10 mins into it, i was hooked. I believed that the footage in the movie was the actual footage of the people who experienced this, but then i was told, that it was re-enacted to...

Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

Advantages: sturdy, strong, robust, attractive, compact
Disadvantages: difficult to assemble, not as much fun as it could be

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most crèches or children?s play areas seem to have one of these activity gyms and they looked bright and colourful so we decided to get one for my brothers first birthday. The activity gym as shown in the picture is made up of four side panels, each with holes in for the child to climb through. There is a small bright pink slide and a blue floor, which the children can go under or climb on to go down the slide. As we unpacked the activity gym it looked relatively simple to assemble, as it was really just a case of slotting the panels together but don?t be fooled! It was not at all easy to assemble although the only consolation is that if it was that difficult to put together its going to be near impossible for it to fall apart! The brightly...

Dermalogica Active Moist

Advantages: Really hydrating, great base for make up, lasts ages
Disadvantages: Cost

...Dermalogica active moist is a moisturiser best used on skin with excess oil production. It is a light weight oil free lotion for daily us that combats dehydration. It is sheer, easy to apply and sinks in to the skin without a trace leaving it feelin really moisturised. It contains silk amino acids and plant extracts to help smooth skin and improve its texture. It also contains lemon, burdock and cucumber to help refine the skin. Dermalogica say that you should apply this lotion twice a day after cleansing and toning and this should be done using upward strokes. They then say for best results this should be used after the facewash and multi active toner and moisturiser (please see my other reviews). I use this product every day along with the toner and face wash. As a teenager having been prone to acne I was brought this as...

EA sports Active Wii, a workout that wil shape any couch potato

Advantages: Strict and challanging workouts but the wide range will keep you interested and motivated.
Disadvantages: The wii balance board would be useful for some tasks (extra cost).

...and hard. So if like me you are not physically fit, you can choose the easier setting and work your way up. But i can not stress enough that easy is NOT easy. The aim of the game is to get you fit and this it does!! EA Sports Active comes with the game disc, a Wii Nunchuk with a thigh band that tracks running, and a stretch resistance band for lunging and weightlifting. Your own wii remote will be used for such things as throwing and punching. The Wii balance boad is not an essential requirement but i find it is helpful with a number of activities. Th package also has a workout calendar, it can track your calorie losses and even asks questions about your diet. Compared to other computer games this is sure to get you motivated and possibly lose a good few pounds!...

Stay Fresh with Active Fresh

Advantages: Keeps you dry and fresh
Disadvantages: None really!

...work shirt on. Whilst no white marks were left I did notice a clear mark across the front of my shirt - how on earth it got there I have no idea! These marks were easily removed with a face wipe, so there were no problems on that front. Now obviously the most important thing is did it keep me dry and sweat free? I wouldn?t describe myself as a particularly sweaty person, but as I am often quite active at work I do get very worried about ?beefing up?. I was really impressed at how well this deodorant worked. For me it was tested in the perfect conditions. I work in retail and we had a really busy day at work with deliveries and new Christmas stock coming in, after five hours of being on the go I still felt and smelt very fresh. So the conclusion would be that yes it does work. It passed the test on sensitivity and it also kept me...

Review of Vaseline Active Fresh Spray

ACTIVELY GOOD

Advantages: wide range
Disadvantages: see review

...My old sunrise F45 had packed up and my new mobility aid ? rascal 329 was somewhat longer and I needed new ramps. I could have bought them from the place I bought my new scooter, but I forgot and as they were about 20 miles away I decided to scan the internet. My search eventually brought me to the web site of ?Active Mobility?, active mobility is motability accredited, they belong to the British Healthcare traders association and lastly though not least ? they have a positive attitude towards disabled people-something not all traders have even towards non-disabled people. The company were established in 1990. However, I am aware that this is an online store dealing with disabled peoples products. So when you type: http://www.activemobility.co.uk into your address bar a page begins to load which is well set out and quite attractive...

Compact Active Speakers

Advantages: Good design & Sound
Disadvantages: None

...I had the Sony SRS-Z510 active speakers with my old PC which I had around 3-4 years ago. They were decent active speakers at the time and did the job. The first thing I noticed was that they were quite heavy and the second thing I noticed was that although they looked small from the front, they were actually good 12cm long in height. The audio cable supplied was around 2 meters in length which was standard supplied as speakers were designed to be placed on your desk, hence the length of cable supplied. The speakers had two inputs, which was ideal if you wanted to connect you MP3 player and your PC to them at the same time. Also on the speakers was the usual headphone jack. The on/off switch was lit up by a green LED when the system was switched on. The volume knob was smooth and didn't feel loose at all, which made it easy to adjust...
