I'm a sweaty Betty!

Advantages: Fabulous clothing range, great sale
Disadvantages: Slow delivery, inability to manage account

...having some fab clothes to do it in! Background Sweaty Betty was launched in 1998 with a small store in Notting Hill and the website followed two years later. It's the perfect place to shop for women's sportswear, whether you're looking for running gear, yoga wear, swimwear, or even ski-wear, everything they sell is trendy and looks great. Everything they sell first has to pass 3 key questions: does it look beautiful? Will it help us perform better? Will others covet it? The whole ethos of the site sends out a very positive and healthy message - the emphasis is on fitness promoting happiness and well being rather than obsession, and they have numerous blogs written by members of their team describing their preparations for marathons amongst others, and every January and September run a "Get fit 4 Free" scheme where you can try out a new...

Gagging to Shave my Tongue!!!!!

Advantages: Inexpensive, compact, easy toget hold of
Disadvantages: Makes me gag, hate the scraping sensation down my tongue

...Over the past year or so I have been having quite a bit of bother with my teeth, including having to have two wisdom teeth removed recently, having root canal work and a chipped front tooth. I have always been fastidious about oral hygiene and take great pains to ensure that my teeth and gums are in the very best condition they can be. I religiously brush my teeth after every meal and floss twice a day. After a recent trip to the dentist, to check on the healing of my gums after having had my two wisdom teeth removed, my dentist remarked that I am having a lot of build up of dental plaque. Despite regular trips to the dental hygienist to have it removed, it just seems to come back quicker each time. I mentioned this to my dentist and he suggested that perhaps I should invest in a 'tongue scraper'. He went on to explain that when...

Review of OOLITT Excel Tongue Cleanser

The Diary Of A Tongue Piercing

Advantages: Everthing but the healing
Disadvantages: healing process

...Okay so what I've decided to do is follow what happens during each day of a tongue piercing. Instead of just one day sitting down and writing the whole thing in an hour I will spend a few minutes each night explaining what the day was like, how it hurts on the day, what I ate, the progress my tongues made, any worries, and anything else I can think on that day. I think then this will give everyone a good idea as to what a tongue piercing is like and what may happen day after day. So In some ways it's like a tongue piercing diary haha. I know it's very long but this way everyone who is interested will get an in depth review and I have also tried to add a bit of sarcasm, wit and comedy so it will not be a long boring read. I will follow what happens each day for 2 weeks writing a few lines for each day, anyway enjoy and I hope this helps...

BETTY COOKS UP A CHOCOLATE DELIGHT

Advantages: Makes four large muffins for 25 p each
Disadvantages: No nutritionalvalue on the package

...School holidays usually bring around baking days for my 13 year old son and 7 year grandson. They usually make cakes, scones and biscuits from recipes but if, when shopping, I come across a baking mix that is reasonably priced I often buy them for the boys as a change. This is what happened on a recent chopping trip to Asda, the Betty Crocker range had some special offers on and I found this mix for Chocolate Chunk Muffin Mix for £1 so I thought that I'd give it a try. BETTY CROCKER 'Betty Crocker' is a range of baking products that are part of the American General Mills Group. Now the list of products produced as 'Betty Crocker' is huge, most of teh though only available in the US, although the products have gained a lotof popularity in Britain. There has never actually been a Betty Crocker - Betty Crocker...

Review of Betty Crocker Chocolate Chunk Muffin Mix

betty back

Advantages: great programme
Disadvantages: had to wait till series 2

...Being a fan of most soaps and dramas I thought I would give this one a go and was not disappointed a little farfetched but I think that is what makes it so great, they do not take anything too seriously. Ugly Betty is based around the fashion industry and the lives of the employees around publishing Mode Magazine, unfortunately she is far from a model with her braces and her size 12 frame, although she was hired for the pure fact that her boss Daniel would not sleep with her. America Ferrera plays Betty Suarez, Eric Mabius as Daniel Meade, Alan Dale as Bradford Meade, Ashley Jensen as Christina, Becki Newton as Amanda and Vanessa Williams as Wilhelmina Slater. Betty Suarez is a wannabe journalist she gets a job at Meade Publications as the Personal Assistant to Daniel Meade, who up till now has slept with all his PA...

Cook up a Cookie Delight with Betty Crocker's mix

Advantages: Easy to make, perfect results
Disadvantages: A little expensive and no nutritional values listed.

...Review of Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix The product I am reviewing is a home baking mix from the Betty Crocker range. The product comes in two sizes, to make 8 cookies and the larger size, which makes up to 24 cookies. This review will concentrate on the larger size. The Product, Packaging and Instructions The chocolate chip cookie mix can be found in the home baking section of most major supermarkets. My daughter purchased this pack as a treat for my 10 year old grand daughter, Katy, who enjoys learning to cook. My grand daughter brought her cookie mix with her when she came to visit and asked me if I'd like to help her make them. The things Grandmas do! The mix is presented in a recyclable cardboard box, the box bears a picture of three very tempting looking cookies stacked one on top of the other...

Bettys Tea Rooms: Betty's Hotpot is more my style

Advantages: Tasty food, nice atmosphere and lovely staff
Disadvantages: Steep prices and nothing I can't do myself

...I have visited various Bettys in the dim and distant past and can't remember ever being particularly impressed. I visited the Bettys in Harrogate again recently as part of a hen weekend. We went at about 3pm on a Sunday afternoon, there were a party of 12 of us but we had been unable to book ahead as it was a Sunday. We 'only' queued for about 10 minutes before being found a space big enough for us all to squeeze around despite warnings of a long wait and the offer to split us up from the 'queue master'. Being someone who could practically bake before I could walk I am invariably disappointed with cakes that I buy, or as is more probably the case in Bettys I would find the cake pleasant but be annoyed at paying a price for a slice that I could make probably 2 cakes myself and they'd be just as nice. For this reason I avoided...

Review of Bettys & Taylors

Tongue piercings

Advantages: The men like it ;-)
Disadvantages: Can get infected, swells up etc *see op*

...People often ask me, why did u get that done? Well, I had my ears pierced when I was 4 and since the age of 12 I’d always wanted my tongue pierced. I asked my parents if i could get it done, but as I expected the answer was NO! Eventually, after 3 years of nagging, moaning and wining, they gave in to me and said I could get it done, but then I began to think. Dare I? I plucked up the courage when I was 14 to go into town and get it done. I had to have a letter from my parents to say they gave their consent, as I was only 14. The lady in the shop had hers done so I was asking all questions possible. Did it hurt? Can u eat normal food afterwards etc I paid her £35 pound and sent upstairs to be faced by a scary looking man - he was covered in tattoos and piercings but was a lovely bloke. I sat down on the chair a he explained...

TONGUE PIERCINGS!!!

Advantages: looks kind of cool, either scares or impresses people.
Disadvantages: long healing period usually 5-10 days and cant eat.

...Where to begin... dont let the first story put you off, let it be a lesson to go somewhere sanitary and trusted, even if it does mean waiting until you're 16. Just turned 15, an angry rebelling teenager, pushing the boundaries.. decided to go one step further and get her tongue pierced. Big mistake. ----MY STORIES ---- As nowhere allows you to get your tongue pierced (or any piercings for that matter) before the age of 16 or without parental consent, I was driven to pretend a friend's big sister was indeed my big sister, and we went to a place where they would actually buy that kind of nonsence (aka. a dodgy place). They did find it a bit strange, but accepted the situation and agreed to pierce my tongue. ----The Procedure:---- They checked underneath my tongue for veins. I was told to eat a chocolate bar and drink...

WHY SO BLUE BETTY BLUE?

Advantages: AN AMAZING FILM
Disadvantages: Subtitles

... BETTY BLUE 37º2 LE MATIN Released in 1986, Betty Blue Better known as 37°2 le matin is based upon the novel by Philippe Djian. Directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix ( Diva and Moon in the Gutter). It tells the tale of a tragic love affair, a kind of modern day Romeo and Juliet. Starring Beatrice Dalle (La Belle Histoire and Dans tes reves), and Jean-Hugues Anglade (Killing Zoe and La Femme Nikita). I love French Cinema, and Betty Blue is one of my all time favourite French films. Known as a bit of a cult film, there is just something special about Betty Blue that really captures my imagination, and it is a film that I can watch time and time again. It's charming and honest and totally believable. The film charts the relationship between Zorg, a handyman man on the housing estate that he lives on...
