Protecting the body beautiful

Advantages: Moulds to your body, great protection
Disadvantages: Bit pricey

...My good old father always told me about the importance of protection, well in fact his actual, and only words, with regards to my sex education were "Show them a good time but don't get them in the family way" which I then interpreted to mean that he meant wear protection. Wise words indeed and an ethos I apply to any sport which involves the risk of injury hence for horse riding a body protector is a must have item. Body protectors resemble the stab or bullet proof jackets that you see police officers and drug dealers wearing and are designed to protect the back and ribs from injury should you take a fall from your horse and the Rodney Powell range of Body Armour have a good reputation both in the professional ranks and the general riding population. The latest body protector that I have bought is the Series 5 protector and it cost...

Review of Rodney Powell Body Armour

Does God Need Armour ??

Advantages: Jackie Chan..... Does his own stunts......
Disadvantages: It nearly killed him......

...For a long time now, I have watched Jackie Chan movies. My first was Drunken Master in 1987(where Jackie dresses as a woman), and here is another which I have seen, and now own, on DVD. Armour Of God. Starring Jackie as "The Asian Hawk", he plays a Bounty Hunter. He is searching for something called The Armour of God, which holds the key to "unlimited power"... meaning, someone who wants to take over the world....... The fight scenes are awsome, particularly the end fight sequence, which I won't tell you about, because it's explosive !! I don't want to spoil the plot too much, but a little of it is like this...... His former friend Alan, is a rock star, and Alan's girlfriend is Jackie's former Love....... She is kidnapped, and Alan comes to Jackie for help..... But Jackie is on a mission, to find the Armour of God, which he is...

Bodies!

Advantages: Great information book for young children
Disadvantages: None

...This is a great non-fiction children's book which I have used with Reception aged children (4-5 year olds). ~ Style and Format ~ The book is a board book, thicker than usual pages that are great for little hands and for those of us buying the books as it is far more difficult for any little rips or tears in the pages to take place! The book is full of great coloured photographs of children, with clear labels as to the different parts of the human body. It also contains questions for the reader to ponder and answer. It has double page spreads and is full of information aimed at young children. ~ Content ~ The book begins with a double page spread, front photo and back photo of a young boy. The face, back, elbow, thigh, knee, leg etc are all clearly labelled. The next focus is on the 'skin and bones'. It introduces...

Bamboo Body

Advantages: long-lasting moisturiser with an agreeable smell
Disadvantages: doesn't produce giggles

...I needed new body lotion and decided to try a new brand. My eyes were wandering along the shelves at the chemist?s and came to a halt at the NIVEA section. This was due to the shape of the bottle the NIVEA designer(s) had created: the upper part of the right side is slightly curved in (see piccie at the top of the site). The bottle looks elegant and cries out to the consumer, ?Grab me!?, at least to the right handers among them. I looked closer to find the right skin type and discovered ?normal to dry skin?, just what I need. Under the name of the product NIVEA Body Lotion Happy Time half a slice of orange is depicted lying in some white sloshy stuff - obviously the body lotion - and underneath stand the words ?Feel-Good Sensation? and Bamboo Extracts. Bamboo! This must be one versatile plant. We?ve got a bush in our garden, I...

THe Sanctuary Body Butter

Advantages: Rich and creamy, quality product
Disadvantages: Smell not for everyone

...The Sanctuary Body Butter. The Sanctuary began as a Spa in Covent Garden over 30 years ago. Their philosophy is all about providing the time, space and expertise for women to renew that glow. I've never been to the Spa but friends have been and they do say that it is a wonderful experience and definitely a very upmarket product. The Sanctuary beauty products were produced in 1998. Customers had been wanting to take the spa experience home with them without needing a therapist or special equipment so they came up with the idea of selling their products. Apparently they are only sold exclusively at Boots and of course you can buy them in the spa's themselves. I've always liked the look of the products as I think they have quite an expensive, quality look about them. I have used the foaming bath soak for quite a while but this is...

Review of The Sanctuary Body Butter

Beautiful Body

Advantages: Great scent, moisturising
Disadvantages: Pricey, does not absorb easily

...I actually received thhis product as a present in part of a gift set, with a bottle of the perfume and a shimmer stick pulse point perfume. I really love the fragrance of the perfume, quite floral and woody (lotus blossom, liquid amber, black orchid and mahogany wood) and very distinctive. I was interested to see how this translated into a body lotion. The bottle itself if made of pretty thick plastic (it's quite hard to squeze the product out) and opens to a capped end with a small hole in - much like sun lotions. The cream is pretty thick and smells quite strongly of the euphoria scent. On application, the product goes quite a long way and not a lot is needed. However, I found that it did not absorb very easily into the skin and needed quite a bit of rubbing in. Once it had been absorbed, my skin felt soft and smelt great...

Review of Calvin Klein Euphoria Body Lotion

Lovely Body Butter!

Advantages: Smells lovely, responsibly produced, works well
Disadvantages: A bit expensive at full price

...A few years ago a friend of mine bought me a gift set from The Body Shop for Christmas and amongst the items contained therein was a pot of body butter. I really wasn?t expecting to like it at all; from the term ?body butter? I expected it to be really greasy and oily. I was quite wrong and have been hooked ever since! The one I am currently using is the Satsuma Body Butter which normally retails at £12.20 for a pot containing 200ml although there is an offer on at the moment reducing the price by 20% so it is only £9.76. If you do like Body Shop products it is worth keeping your eyes open during the year as they often have special offers so it is worth stocking up when things are cheaper. If you are a regular customer it is also worth investing in their reward card. It costs £5 per year but you get a free gift worth £5 on your...

  The Body Shop - Too Bad You Can't Buy Replacement Body Here!

Advantages: Excellent products, great smell and environmentally friendly.
Disadvantages: Very expensive products.

... Have you heard of ?The Body Shop?? It is one of the most visited beauty shops by women and MEN equally . . . The reputation and the popularity of the shop is not only throughout the UK but also spread globally. There is no surprise that it had over 2400 shops worldwide diverse between small shops and mega stores expanded over sixty one different countries in most Europe, the Middle East, South Africa and the United States of America! Many years ago, while I was struggling to look for a decent job to survive in the United Kingdom, I worked at one of their smaller shops for over a year. As a result, I?ve learnt a lot about customers? preferences, how to communicate and satisfy clients and most importantly, I?ve gained knowledge about beauty which was an advantage to me in future jobs. What is The Body Shop? Oh...

Review of The Body Shop (Shop)

The perfect body exfoliator

Advantages: Melts onto the skin; leaves skin soft and smooth; lovely smell
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Exfoliating is one of the most important steps of my skincare routine and one that makes the biggest difference to my biggest body irk - the tiny bumps that appear on the tops of my arms when my skin is a bit dry. The Clarins Toning Body Polisher is one of the best exfoliators I've found and one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. It's both a sugar and a salt scrub and is packed with essential oils - rosewood, geranium, hazelnut, mint, palm, rosemary and shea - which all work to moisturise the skin, as well as exuding gorgeous smells. It has a really fresh, intense and invigorating smell which really perks you up in the morning - initially it's very strong but calms down when you start to use it. To use, you simply apply a generous amount to damp skin - the moisture means that the scrub almost melts into your skin and the grains don...
