An Excellent Alternative To Body Butter

Advantages: Price, moisturising ability, smell, Community Trade
Disadvantages: Size, lack of availabilty in the UK

...The Body Shop Coconut Dry Oil Mist **************************************** Why I Chose This Item: On my Birthday this year I was given a wide variety of The Body Shop?s products, and the Coconut Dry Oil Mist was one of them. I?ve decided to write about this one first as it?s definitely my favourite out of the gifts! Luckily, I love The Body Shop so the presents were lovely, but it seems that now I may have found a contender to my ever-expanding collection of body butters. The Products Claims: The Coconut Dry Oil Mist itself is a spray-on oil that helps to moisturise the skin, whilst leaving it lightly fragranced. The coconut oil has been included to aid normal-to-dry skin with it?s moisturising properties- something my skin constantly needs! It also suggests it will be left ?soft, smooth and subtly scented...

Excellent Light Natural Body Lotion!

Advantages: Good quality, ethical product, natural ingredients

They do not use any SLS, parabens, phthalates, lanolin and artificial fragrances and won the Best Organic Range at the National Health Beauty Awards in 2008.

Failed to Excel for Me

Advantages: Can be used at very low temperatures
Disadvantages: Not suitable for hand washing, overpowering scent on Febreze version, made stains worse

...a garden but I do have a large home so luckily I have space to do this. And it works fine with everything I wash except for towels. You shouldn't use fabric conditioner on towels - it badly affects the absorbency of them - so without a tumble dryer, you run the risk of towels feeling like cardboard and lacking that lovely scent you get from a softener. Over the years I have mastered how to soften them a little - do not overdose detergent and shake them before and after airing. However the scent issue has bugged me for some time...until I saw Ariel Excel Gel with Febreze effect in the supermarket. The Product I had been aware of the Ariel Excel Gel range for a while - it was heavily advertised when launched - and the main premise of this product is that it will give you "outstanding cleaning" with low temperatures - temperatures as low as...

Review of Ariel Excel Gel

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...

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...

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...

Review of The Body Shop Satsuma Body Butter

Vibrate your Body into shape!!!!!!

Advantages: Great Hz range, well priced, sturdy, good size platform
Disadvantages: There are cheaper alternatives just as good

...comes as no surprise to read that generally it is attracting the interest of females rather than males. However I can honestly say that there is more to this machine than meets the eye and when used correctly can become an important piece of kit for anyone also interested in strength training. In particular because the machine is generally used using isometric contractions (muscle held in a fixed position), it is excellent for developing core strength in the muscles. I also enjoy using the machine within the warm up and cool down aspects of training as it stimulates the muscles in preparation for other exercises you may be taking part in (as part of a warm up), as well as aiding the removal of toxins in the cool down aspect of training. COST Worst: Bodi-tek.com £199.99 Best: Amazon £146 This is a great piece...
