Disadvantages: None really - some people may be sensitive to it, but it's rare

...Hello! This review is mainly of Castor Oil as a skin cleanser - I'll be explaining how its believed to work, how to use it, and what the results are like. This method has been spreading through alot of natural living communities as it's had such positive results! What it is --------------- OCM stands for Oil Cleansing Method - a method using oil (primarily Castor Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil but you can adjust the oil types to suit you {see below}) to cleanse and moisturise the skin. You make the mixture yourself, either in a bowl for single applications, or in a glass bottle if you use the method daily. How it works -------------------------- "When cleansing and moisturizing your skin, it is imperative that you keep in mind that oil disolves oil. Do not be afraid of applying oil to your face. Oil, alone, will not cause...

Review of Castor Oil

My granny recommended Castor Oil

Advantages: empty bowels, shiny hair
Disadvantages: yucky!

...Castor Oil, made from the pressed seeds of the plant ricinus communis, is a yellowish thick oil, available for little money from your chemist. When I had my first split ends - my granny gave me a bottle of castor oil. When I had constipation - granny just pointed to the castor oil. Since over 30 years (when my first split end appeared) I always have a bottle of castor oil in the house. Just in case. Does it work? Well... It definitely cured my constipation a few times. But it took ages until I was able to swallow this horrible stuff. And nowadays I'd rather eat spinach or a senacot pill than a tablespoon of the unpleasant castor oil. Only in very hard cases I'll go and fetch my hidden bottle. Granny's sister used castor oil each week as a hair-cure. I must admit, she had beautiful shiny hair until she popped her cloggs...

The alternative cup

Advantages: It might just happen this way
Disadvantages: Most unlikely

...All I hear is "ENGLAND, ENGLAND" wherever I go at the mo. "We're gonna win the cup". Right, ok. In your little pretend world, maybe but for the realists, getting out of the group will be an achievement. So for those of you that want to go along the "Mickey Mouse" England World Cup Winners Route, here is the real Mickey Mouse results. Group A France, Senegal, Uruguay, Denmark. The opening game sees France entertaining the upstart Senegal Team. Knowing that the Senegalese team will be a pushover, the French decide to field a select 11 and rest their main players for later rounds of the world cup. This means They are going with a 4-4-2 formation with Jean Paul Gaultier and Antoine from Eurotrash as the main strike force. Fabien Barthez even misses the game and lets Lovelable Resistance Fighter Rene Artois from Allo Allo to take...

Chicken & Leek in a Cup

Advantages: a quick snack
Disadvantages: none

...For the past few days I have been unwell with a migraine headache so I haven`t really wanted to eat much food. As I had skipped breakfast yesterday morning and my stomach was complaining I decided to have a cup a soup. Chicken and Leek Cup a Soup There are 5 sackets of soup inside a cardboard box, the box is blue and orange in colour and there is a picure of the soup in a mug. You can also see a picture of chicken, leek and onions, on top of the box you will find the best before date and opening the box is very easy. It says on the box that there are no artifical colours or flavourings, that the soup is low in fat and sugar. On the back of the box are simple instructions on how to make the soup, each sachet contains a powder, just open the sachet and pour into a cup. Then add the hot water and give a very good stir...

Review of Batchelors Cup a Soup

great cup!

Advantages: easy!
Disadvantages: may spill!

...I really like this little beaker! Both my nephew and my baby use these and they both got the hang of them really early on and with such ease! Babies need to learn to drink out of mugs and cups instead of just from a bottle. It's important they learn how to drink without just sucking at a teet and I tried alsorts of beakers to try to get my baby and nephew to learn this skill and none of them seemed to work. They both would choke a lot or just pushed it away and weren't interested. Eventually I tried this one and it's been the best we've had! It's easy to use, you just fill it up and snap on the lid. The spout can fold back to prevent leaks although it isn't fool proof and my bag is often damp in the bottom or my car keys covered in juice so be warned! I wrap it in a muslin cloth now when I put it in my bag-good tip there...

Review of Tommee Tippee First Cup (4 Months +)

world cup's

Advantages: comfortable, controlled, good boot overall
Disadvantages: lack of style, tore after 6 months

...I had these boots for 2 years then they became too small. I liked them so much i got another pair. Extremely comfortable, infact the most comfortable boots i've ever worn. they have a nice control and there just a nice boot. If i'd wrote this review a couple of months ago i would of given the boot top marks despite the lack of style. However when i was cleaning my boots, i fine a big rip down the side of the right boot. I was not best pleased as you can understand. Paying 65 quid for boots you except them to last. The first pair i had lasted 2 years until they were too small, but these lasted 6 months- not up to my exceptions of adidas. Overall i would recommend them as im sure the tore was just a one off but i'm still not best pleased. Im now wearing nike legends which are going along fine at the moment. For the world cup's i would give...

Review of Adidas World Cup Mens Soft Ground Football Boots

The magic of The Cup

Advantages: great cup competition,traditional, Small teams can beat the biggest teams
Disadvantages: semi finals at Wembley? not good idea -should only be final!

...The Fa Cup is the oldest football competition and is steeped in history. It is such a great tradition in English football and is run by the FA (Football Association) in England. The first Fa Cup final was all the way back in the 1871-72 season. The reason why the Fa cup is so special is because it involves clubs of all standards including non-league clubs. This allows meetings of top teams against so called 'giant killers' who are the lower league teams. The Fa Cup is a knockout tournament with ties for each round drawn at random. There are no seeds so this means any teams left in the draw at any stage can draw any team. The home team is drawn first and the away team second. If the resulting game is drawn by the two teams, there is a replay (at the Ground for the team away in first tie) with extra time and penalties used to...

Review of Fa Cup competition

MOOOsic to my ears, a cup.... that doesn't leak!

Advantages: Non spill, funky design, easy to hold
Disadvantages: Spout cover is loose, can stain

...I have been through so many baby cups, I've found ones that leaked, dripped, clogged up and ones where the lid just falls off. So when looking again, I came across the Cow Cup.... What is the Cow Cup? The cup I am reviewing is the Amadeus Anyway Up Healthy Eating Cow Cup (bit of a mouthful!). It is designed for babies 6+ and boasts that the cup doesn't leak or spill. It is a trainer cup with single piece insert valve so you can have slow flow or normal flow. There is another Cow Cup which is for toddlers aged 12+ from the same range. Amadeus sell a range of other products such as bowls, other cups and cutlery designed for babies and toddlers, Packaging The cup came strapped to a box. The box was very easy on the eye, showing a field and a sky so very blue and green.. I assume this is as cows live in fields...
