Castor oil as a skin cleanser (OCM)

Advantages: Cheap, great for your health, natural, can adjust quantities in skin care
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...

Tripp Trapp Chair

Advantages: baby to adult use; good posture
Disadvantages: chair can be flipped by child; difficult to get cushions off

...My husband found this chair and we have been very happy with it. We live in a small house and have no where to store a high chair so we got this chair in black (to match our table) and it stays at the table with our chairs. Our son is now 12 months old and we have been using it with him since he was 6 months. We have never used the restraints on it and our son has always sat very upright in it. Other high chairs that he has sat in, he has slumped forward in. This one keeps him in excellent posture. It sits right up to the table and is a perfect height. He sits with us at the table at lunch and dinner and he feels more part of the family. The Tripp Trapp is supposed to encourage good eating habits and manners from an early age as the baby eats at the table with you instead of to the side with a tray. The cost is justified by...

Review of Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair

Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair

Advantages: Easy to clean, Long lasting, Good support for child
Disadvantages: Altering seat/foot plates

...of colours to suit your tastes too. The main aim of the chair is so your baby/child can sit up at the table with you, (there is no food tray) therefore encouraging your little one to join in with the family and feel a part of what is going on. the way the highchair has been designed means that it doesn't take up much space and is solid so won't tip over. it is pleasant to look at so doesn't have to be hidden away. the main design with the seat and foot plate is that they can be moved up or down to accomodate your child's size, encouraging them to sit up straight and with their feet on a base rather than hanging freely. Most highchairs i've seen, the child ends up sitting slouched or has slid down and ends up in a twisted position. The wood is easy to clean, and the covers are washable, although it is harder to take the seat cushion off...

Review of Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair

I love this chair!

Advantages: Excellent quality, really solid, baby can join in family meals at the table
Disadvantages: Personally haven't found any yet.....

...I'm so pleased with this chair! The Tripp Trapp is a Swedish design which has been developed in order to grow with your baby right through to adulthood. They have been around for ages, and I know various family friends who have had the same chair(s) for twenty-five years, now using them at the computer or still at the kitchen table. So the longevity of a product like that is a distinct advantage, particularly since with highchairs the usual shelf-life is so short and they end up in the loft / cellar after a few years. The quality of the wood, and the design, contributes to this longevity. It really feels solid. You have to build it yourself but it's only a few parts and the instructions are very easy to follow. If you're buying for a baby then you need to buy the baby kit, which comprises of a higher curved back and a front...

Review of Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair

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...

Review of Castor Oil

More than just another high chair

Advantages: Grows with your child
Disadvantages: No tray

...A Stokke Tripp Trapp chair is a well designed piece of furniture that will last long after your child has grown up and left home. I bought mine when my baby was 6 months old complete with the baby kit for around £125.00. It was simple to assemble and feels very sturdy and stable. Alex was comfortable in it from to word go, and it blends in well with the rest of our furniture. It is available in a large range of wood finishes to blend in with any decor. The high chair is designed without a tray so that you child gets used to eating at the table with the rest of the family from an early age. I was very wary of this at first and almost didn't purchase it for that reason but I must say that I have not missed the tray one little bit. As your child grows, the baby kit can be removed turning it into an ordinary chair which you can...

The devil's chair

Advantages: Lots of twists and keeps you guessing to the last minute
Disadvantages: can be a little confusing, all in all a good film

...The Devil?s Chair Film only review Nick West took his girlfriend to a disused assylum and they both dropped some acid. His date Julie sits on an old abandoned chair and her body is mutilated and dragged into a mysterious black hole. After Nick explains his story to the police he is placed in an asslyum. After four years a brilliant psychartrist takes care of him and takes him and four of his students back to the murder scene. As Nick arrives back at the assylum he begins having a flashback. The psycharitrist wants to find the truth behind the murder. This film is as gruesome as saw. It has lots and lots of twists. The doctor seems to have other motives for taking them all back there, he wants to summon the monster to our world but it needs sacrifices. This is the real reason we are led to believe for them all being there...

Review of The Devil's Chair (DVD)

My daughter loves this chair.

Advantages: Great Product. Lively, fun.
Disadvantages: Putting it together

...I bought this chair for my daughter Christmas 2008 who was 18 months old at the time and she absolutely loves it. It's safe, brightly coloured with music and flashing lights, what more can a toddler ask for? Inside the box You'll find the assembly instructions, they are a little vague just pictures with numbers and arrows, but they do the required job. There is also the chair, in 8 pieces, granted 4 of those are the feet. Assembly In all i would say it would take 10/15 minutes to put together. Unless your me who decided not to read the instructions and take my chance to click it all into place in the wrong order, therefore spending an hour on Christmas Eve pulling at it to try and undo it again, failing to do so and unscrewing parts, to start all over again. But then if was easy to take apart it...

Review of Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Musical Chair

The binding chair... not a bind to read at all.

Advantages: An incite into an unknown world.
Disadvantages: Sometimes a little uncomfortable to read.

...On one of my many, many trips to my local library I was thrilled to discover that there was another book sale, unfortunately the books on sale were not of the usual reading material that I go for, hence the review I will now write. The book I will now review is ? The binding chair by Kathryn Harrison? As I stated earlier this is not the sort of book I would normally go for, more of a semi fictional history book this only appealed in the fact that it was A, on sale for 20p, and B, I liked the cover! (Sorry I am so shallow!). The cover doesn?t really give much indication as to what the book is about, aside from the fact that the binding chair in question is the piece of apparatus that Chinese girls sat in to have there feet bound. Not being that knowledgeable on the subject of Chinese history or the barbaric traditions behind...

musical chair

Advantages: great entertainment for children 12 months and over
Disadvantages: same songs can be very annoying at times

...The fisher price laugh and learn musical chair is an excellent toy, a great learning fun toy. my son had this for christmas 2007 and has not stopped playing with it since then so it must be a fab toy as normally things get forgotted within a week or so.

Learn colours, numbers, counting, animals and opposties. The chair has a sturdy side table with a cute lamp that changes colour a small book that has pages you can turn to activate story time and some coloured crayons that can be pushed to learn all about colours. the toy is full of bright coulours that will appeal to you child. as for the assembly which i feel is normally an issue with kids toys it...
