The Hardworking Fairy

Advantages: A washing up liquid that is well worth paying extra for.
Disadvantages: None

...Was it really as far back as 1965 when we were treated to that unforgettable television advert that featured Nanette Newman as the `Mum` and Leslie Ash as the young daughter politely conversing over a bowlful of dirty dishes that were on the receiving end of the Fairy Liquid treatment ? Having done some Internet research it seems that that advertisement did run all of those years ago. Leslie Ash was waiting for the empty Fairy Liquid bottle to make a skittle, if Leslie was hoping to make a full set of skittles then she might still be keeping those bottles ! Proctor and Gamble UK, By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen, manufacturers of soap and detergents, that has a certain ring to it doesn't it ? It is hard to believe just how many types of washing-up liquid there are sitting on the supermarket shelves, I must confess that I am...

Review of Fairy Washing Up Liquid

Concentrated liquid fairy

Advantages: Glorious sweetie scent!
Disadvantages: Sickly sweet sweetie scent?

...It took me a while to try Lush's shower gels - they do seem rather expensive, after all. However, since Snow Fairy is part of the Christmas range I'm working my way through entirely, and smelled okay if a tad overpowering, let's give it a go! And yet again - I'm glad I did! As I say, one whiff of the bottle and Snow Fairy is quite overwhelming - it's a very concentrated sweet scent, and I had to assume that it'd calm down a bit diluted in use. We-ell, it does, but it's still quite strong! It's incredibly sweet/sweetie-type scent - my favourite description has been that it's a super-charged version of the Creamy Candy Bar or Rockstar soap. For those who haven't sniffed those before, it's a bit like bubble gum meets flumps - sweet and vanilla and candy floss! Add to the bright pink colour, and the sparkles (although I haven't had...

DIJEH presents: 'Saving the Fairy's Light'

Advantages: ----
Disadvantages: ----

...and all you women with your hairs, done listen to this sensational story about my debut poetry - ???Heavenly Sprite and Ghastly Knight???. Well today, as I made a departure from facebook as ???Uzor Dijeh???, I decided to embark on an adventure to Ciao cafe to put a show on stage for Ciao members. Revisiting my home city of Ciao.co.uk, I was entering the Ciao cafe concert, appearing before citizens as DJprimo. I was standing on a stage of wood so smooth in texture, in front of an audience so friendly in nature in the presence of confetti falling like rain. That's when I was ready to tell a classic tale about how I saved a kingdom with the help of a holy fairy's magic light that turned me into a heroic Knight. Talking into the microphone, I was spreading my vocal testerone, with my voice naturally baritone to capture the thoughts of everyone...

Fab Fairies!

Advantages: lovely illustrations, descriptions and puzzles
Disadvantages: none

...My four year old daughter loves books and she also loves puzzles. Added to this her ultimate aim in life is to become a fairy dressed in pink! Therefore, when you add up all this information, the Usborne Fairies Jigsaw Book was always bound to be a big hit with her - which it is! The front cover is pink and sparkly and very enticing to make you want to look inside. The cover and all the pages are very strong and sturdy which they need to be because if you find a little girl who loves it as much as my daughter does it will definitely get a lot of wear! Inside the book we find some very beautiful descriptions of five different types of fairy - and there was me thinking that all fairies are the same! There are Tree Top Fairies who live high up in the trees and travel in nutshells pulled by dragonflies. Then there are Rainbow Fairies who...

Review of Fairies Jigsaw Book - Usborne Books

Calling All Snow Fairies...

Advantages: Smell, Smoothes Skin, Generally Amazing!
Disadvantages: Only Available At Christmas! x

...lovely, but nothing can beat the original Snow Fairy shower gel. What Makes It So Special? Apart from the amazing scent, I love the fact that Snow Fairy, like many other Lush shower gels, can be used on your body and hair. It is obviously a fantastic body wash but it cleans my hair fantastically too! I use it instead of a shampoo and it lathers up brilliantly! It doubles (triples?) up as a great bubble bath too! The colour of the gel is a bright girly pink, which in itself is a reason for me to purchase it! I also love the specks of iridescent glitter; don?t worry, you don?t get covered in it, in fact it almost goes unnoticed unless you catch the right light ? and then you?ll seem to be ever so slightly sparkly, like the fairy on top of the Christmas tree... The Scent Snow Fairy smells of what you would imagine candyfloss, jelly...

Review of Lush Snow Fairy

The Snow Fairy is coming

Advantages: Fun, girly, sparkly
Disadvantages: Too sweet for me

...It's nearly Christmas and the snow fairy is coming!! I have read about Lush Snow Fairy shower gel on this site for quite a few years now and how people rave about it so this year I decided to try it for myself. Lush is a handmade cosmetics company. The first Lush store was opened in 1994 by husband and wife team Mark and Mo Constantin. There are more than 600 stores in 43 countries. Lush produces and sells a variety of handmade products, including face masks, soaps, bath ballistics, hand and body lotions, and hair treatments. Lush uses organic fruit and vegetables, essential oils, and safe-synthetic ingredients in all products produced. In addition to not using animal fats in their products, they are also against animal testing and perform tests solely with volunteers instead. You can smell a Lush store even before you get to it...

Review of Lush Snow Fairy

Fairy clean clothes

Advantages: cleans clothes, delicate smell
Disadvantages: smell does not last

...I bought an 800g box of Fairy non biological washing powder as it was on offer for £1.97 at Wilkinsons and thought this was a bargain. I have never used this brand before but as it was on offer and it is a well known brand I thought I would give it a go and if I didn?t like it I could always go back to my usual brand. The normal price for this was £2.97. The box is light blue with the well known Fairy logo and baby on front. It says a box this size could wash approximately 10 loads. Non biological means that it does not contain any enzymes and therefore should be better for those with sensitive skin. There is a metal pull down flap on one side to dispense the powder and upon opening I was greeted with a light fresh smell which I thought would be great on my clothes. The powder itself is fine and white with light blue flecks...

  The Fairies of Facebook

Advantages: Great, Free app, Lots of Potential, Fun Games, Achievements, Spells, Dust and Alchemy
Disadvantages: Attempts to stay in flavour sometimes fail, Might get boring without those Achievements.

..."My Fairy" is an application which can be added to Facebook.com profiles by users, and played with other users who have searched for and added the same application on the social networking site. It's basically a game which you can play with other users, although people are required to sign into both Facebook and My Fairy to play. First of all, some general info on how the application works within Facebook (I'm afraid you might not understand this if you don't use Facebook?) On a Facebook user profile, the game appears as a thin box (see pics) which is perhaps best suited to the Facebook sidebar since the box is quite thin, and doesn't really change shape when placed on the main-page part of the profile. One can access the application-proper by clicking on a link from any "My Fairy" Facebook profile box, which is useful, because...

Review of My Fairy (Facebook Applications)

Clean and smelling good! (Fairy Liquid)

Advantages: A little goes a long way so it lasts for a long time.
Disadvantages: Tempting to use too much which results in huge volumes of bubbles, everywhere!

...Fairy Original washing up liquid, although used less in our house now due to the use of a dishwasher, it still takes pride of place next to the kitchen sink. The bottle I have is 450ml and made of clear flexible plastic allowing for the liquid to be squeezed out with easy. The top is a red flip top and made of plastic. The bottle I have cost 98p and boasts it contains 50% extra too, so looking good on the value side of things. The label contains a number of details including advice on hand care (simply saying to rinse hands after use and that as the product is a detergent therefore avoid prolonged use, especially if you have cut on your hands), gives reference to a website that I haven't yet checked out (www.sustainale-cleaning.com), ingredients (which can be found at www.infdo-pg.com) and contact details (see end of review). Does it...

Review of Fairy Washing Up Liquid

Fairy simple cooking

Advantages: Simple to follow instructions and appealing makes
Disadvantages: All very pink and fairy like

...Fairy Cooking With a few family birthdays on the horizon, Little Miss, naturally wanted to do her bit for the tea parties, so knowing how she enjoys cooking, this seemed an appropriate starting point for the occasions. The book itself is produced by usborne, so having bought Usborne books before, I knew that it would be good value and that the "makes" would be child appropriate. Naturally, being on an almost permanent pink fest, the front cover was instantly appealing to Little Miss- what more could a little lady want?this is a pink book featuring cakes and fairies! The book itself has the instructions for 18 makes- Spangly Heart biscuits; Fairy fudge; fairy Muffins; Swirly pink Biscuits; Fairy Star biscuits; Flowery cut out biscuits; Tiny fairy cakes; Iced raspberry mousse; Cut out sandwiches; Chocolate Cobweb cookies...
