Top Quality Coconut Milk Simply Packaged.

Advantages: Delicious ingredient
Disadvantages: NOne

...certainly something you might not expect. Their Essential range is superb. Many everyday items are included in this category, and one of my favourites has to be the coconut milk, which I buy weekly using it to make many curries which my family all love. This retails for £1.28 for 400 ml at Ocado, and you can also buy the lower fat version if you prefer for the same price. This shaves about 30p off traditional brands such as Amoy and Blue Dragon, although there are low cost brands such as Island Sun who sell budget tins for budget prices in competing supermarkets. The packaging for this coconut milk is lovely. Simple white and stylish the tin has a cut coconut which looks clean and appetising. There is something really pure about the design which I love. In case you are not familiar with coconut milk it is derived from the actual...

Where is the Coconut and Vanilla?

Advantages: moisturises, cheap
Disadvantages: lacking in the frangrance dept.

...As I had a sneaky trip to Asda the other day I headed for the bath section as I got a wonderful festive bath foam on my last visit so I was pleased to find another bargain buy. This time it is a comforting one which is scented with coconut and vanilla. ~~THE BOTTLE~~ The bath foam comes in a plastic bottle which shows off the white liquid and allows you to easily see how much of the bath foam is left and it has a white screw lid. The front of the bottle has the product name and the Asda name in light blue lettering and the back of the bottle has the product details and directions for use. ~~USE AND RESULTS~~ This is very easy to use you just screw the lid and then pour the liquid under a running tap. I would say that you really don?t need to use much of this at all as a little does go a long way and makes lots of bubbles...

Coconut flavour yogurt

Advantages: Tastes great, for me it is effective
Disadvantages: none

...'s but my favourite Actimel is not available there so I buy them in Tesco. I buy two packs of 8 for 4 pounds. My husband drinks it only occasionally but I drink it every day. The Danone Actimel is packed in little white plastic bottles. The bottles are not transparent at all. There are 100 g of yogurt in a bottle. They are sealed with a silver foil (I think it is made of aluminium). There are packs of 4 or 8 but when they are on offer you can se packs of 12 as well. The coconut Actimel --------------------------- Actually it is very similar to the other ones the only difference to the original is its coconut taste. It is odd white coloured and thin as a drinking yogurt. The lovely taste of the coconut can be felt very well. I really love it. Ingredients --------------- Yogurt, Skimmed milk, Sugar/liquid sugar (sucrose: 8.9%), Coconut...

coconuts candles and wine!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...I really like the Original source shower gels so when I spotted a bottle of Original Source Almond and coconut bath foam for just £1 in my local Tesco, I decided to give it a try. Original Source makes a range of products including shower gels, shampoos and deodorants. They only use pure and natural essential oils or natural extracts and they are a member of both the Aromatherapy council and the Vegan society. On their web site the company says they source as much as possible from the U.K. Original source have a very clever marketing strategy, advertising their products as environmentally friendly .natural products. Original Source Almond and coconut bath foam comes in a rather plain looking 500ml plastic bottle. The bath foam is a sort of beige colour and doesn?t really look that appealing to be honest! The bottle has a screw top...

~ Milk Tray ~

Advantages: Great variety, amazing tatses, luxury packaging
Disadvantages: price for some

...~ Milk Tray ~ Milk Tray chocolates are one of my favourite boxes you can buy from Cadbury?s. This week one of our colleagues brought a box in for us all to share. We usually have biscuit Fridays but this week it was chocolate. I only ever see boxes like this really at Christmas time. We never buy boxes otherwise and I hadn?t had Milk ray for years. Due to the demand and high quality the box was pretty much gone by noon. You have to be quick in this place, as soon as you?re offered you have to take one or you won?t get a chance. Even those on a diet can?t resist one of these cheeky choc?s. I am not a huge fan of chocolate myself, I mean I like the stuff but if I had to choose out of a bar of chocolate and sweets it wouldn?t be the chocolate. ~ Where did it come from? ~ The Milk Tray box is produced by the one...

Tesco Cool Coconut Bars

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Sweet

...A review on Tesco Cool Coconut bars. Well, after a busy day, I found myself in Tesco's at 8.00pm last night. Not the usual night out, but it couldn't be helped. Anyway, I was drawn, as ever, to the chocolate. It was the bags of Tesco Cool Coconut mini bars that caught my eye this time. The bag said, "11 Treat size bars. Moist, sweet flaked coconut covered in thick milk chocolate." But, did they live up to their expectations on any of those counts? We'll see. Some Brief Facts + The name TESCO comes from the initials of two men - T.E. Stockwell (a tea supplier) and Jack COhen (the founder of Tesco's). Why Stockwell? Well, the first product with the Tesco name on it was a packet of tea in the 1920's. + The bag of Cool Coconut contains 11 bars or does it? + The product is suitable for Vegetarians...

SUPERDRUG COCONUT OIL

Advantages: Cheap and does the job!
Disadvantages: Slight articifical Coconut smell, packaging needs revamping.

...to use Superdrug Coconut Oils by a good friend of mine. She said that it is not a miracle product that can heal the injury of my hair, but it can prevent it from more damages until I have the gut to visit a hairdresser. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE PACKAGING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have no choice but to buy it. I wasn't too impressed with the look of packaging. It looks like some baby petroleum jelly! The only reason I didn't mistake it is because it was among the hair products. It is in a small white plastic mini tub of 100ml, which looked pretty cheap and tacky. Unfortunately I can't remember how much it cost exactly; it was only a couple of pounds maximum. The lid is seal with a plastic ring around the tub and once you have opened it, you can still close the tub with a 'click'. Re-opening isn't always easy, as it has a small beak...

Coconut body butter

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...It's been a while I have shopped at The Body Shop. There wasn't a real reason why I stopped going I just didn't really like their stuff any more. Recently though I received a free 50ml pot of Coconut Body Butter with Marie Claire magazine and I loved it so much that I will definitely be making a trip to Body Shop, (or at least their website). ~~~~~~ The pot I have is 50ml which is worth £5.00 and comes in a little brown plastic pot. The lid is a screw off affair and does up nice and tightly meaning I can carry it around in my bag. Once you open the lid you are greeted by a smell very similar to coconut milk. I love this smell so this definitely a great variety for me to try. The smell is very realistic as well rather than fake, sweet smell you get with some coconut fragranced things. The smell even provoked a reaction from...

The best milk

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...it was more expensive than the other milks, only by a pound but I am sure this would soon add up if your baby was solely bottle fed. The tub isn't anything fancy, it's not all bright and colourful with pictures of babies on the front like other formula tubs, instead it is a simple blue tub with a white polar bear on. It does not say 'formula milk' on it but 'breastmilk substitute' which suggests it is in a different league to the other formulas on the market. The tub itself has the information about how to make up a feed and how much your baby should be having. The lid is resealable with a plastic lid that clips back down. It is useful as it keeps the powder dry and sealed, but the lid is so very hard to open. It's not a case of just lifting it up, I still don't quite understand what it is you're meant to do to make it open but it...
