It's Beary cute!

Advantages: adorable, not too pricey on its own, gift idea
Disadvantages: can be expensive if bought as a set

...I remember when the Bear Factory first opened up in the Metrocentre. I would have been around eight or nine at the time, and still completely in love with teddy bears. As soon as I entered the world of stuffed animals and clothes, I knew it was the most perfect place for me. I found myself spending the majority of my pocket money in there - quite a large amount in the long run! I haven't bought myself anything from there in a while now, however I have spoiled my sister on many an occasion. One of the latest items I bought her is the Hell Kitty Sequin Bag. The Bear Factory have their own wide range of clothes and bears, but they also do a few 'designers'. Along with the Disney Princess range and the Hannah Montana Collection, they also do a range of Hello Kitty items. One of the latest items I bought my sister is the Hello Kitty bag...

HELLO! Do I know you??

Advantages: Keep up to date in all things glossy and shiny!
Disadvantages: No real news. Just pretty pictures!

...the magazine!) I work in a reception that gets it delivered every week. So before we put it out for the general public to destroy, we have a gander ourselves. Cheeky? Yes. Clever. Yes! It means we recycle at least! HELLO! Started in 1988 and is one of the biggest selling women's magazines. 427,054 copies are circulated per week, which is an average of 19 million copies each month! That is a lot of gossip! Its photo journalism is what makes it famous and it as one of the few magazines to get access to the social elite and exclusive access to events and gatherings. The magazine itself contains everything from general celebrity news, to royal family interviews and worldwide political updates. The magazine costs £2.00 per issue, some would say expensive, I say you get what you pay for? don't believe me? Well here is what you get?? Every weekly...

Review of Hello

I love this too dolly palette

Advantages: great colours
Disadvantages: price

...****MAC Hello Kitty Eye Shadow 4: Too Dolly***** What happens when you take a highly popular makeup brand and mix it with the even more popular hello kitty symbol?.The answer is a product range that is mostly sold out everywhere. **Packaging and case** Even the box it comes in is quite sweet as it has hello kitty on it and is nicely decorated. The eye shadows come in a black case with pink glittery bits attached. The top of the lid has a picture of hello kitty on it along with the product name(well i say picture but it is in graved in not stuck on or anything) . I think its made of metal as it feels quite sturdy. When you open it up the entire inside of the lid has a mirror which is quite a good size. **The eye shadows** This comes with four different colours yogurt-a really light porcelain colour. This is matte shade. Romping-a pink...

Review of MAC Hello Kitty Eye Shadow 4: Too Dolly

Goodbye Hello

Advantages: Good to get your bonfire going
Disadvantages: Everything about it

...Are our lives really so empty that we feel we have to fill the void by reading about "celebrities'" lifestyles? Today I have been unfortunate enough to have been given a copy of Hello! magazine (there is no way on this earth I would buy it). Still - there is one good thing to come from it - an opportunity to write an opinion for Ciao. Hello! magazine is a glossy mag full of pictures of celebrities arriving at parties, celebrities at award ceremonies, celebrities relaxing in their 10 acre mansions; oh, yes, and let us not forget the frequent articles on the Royal Family and anyone even remotely connected with the Royals. In this article I have here in front of me; dated March 6 2001; there are features on all of the above. What I cannot believe is that there is a 20-page (yes 20 pages!!!) feature on Celine Dion and her "miracle...

You Say Hello I Say Goodbye

Advantages: Excellent TV Guide
Disadvantages: The rest of the magazine

...Sometimes we need something to do to amuse ourselves... no not that, get your mind out of the gutter. We write, we paint, we play a sport and we read. The list could probably go on forever. For any one thing you could think to do someone else has probably had the same thought. Yes and that does include lewd thoughts about your wife,husband, boyfriend or girlfriend. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that I am doing this opinion on the weekly magazine HELLO. In particular I am going to pick on Number 697 that was published on January 22 2002. On the front cover is a happy Patsy Palmer with her three kids. For those of you who know the name but cannot place the face all I need say is Eastenders and RICKY. Sharing the front cover but with smaller pictures are GMTV's Penny Smith, Elizabeth Hurley (Yes again) and the wedding...

A flick through Hello

Advantages: Good TV guide
Disadvantages: Where are the celebrities?!

...Sitting in front of me, on my desk, is this week’s issue of Hello! Magazine. Staring back at me off the flat page is an image of Princess Margaret. ‘The Nation Mourns,’ the cover tells me, under the ever-increasing £1.85 price tag. What is ‘Hello!’?… For the very few of you who do not now, I must explain what Hello! Magazine is! Well, it’s called Hello! Magazine, so guess. Right, it’s a magazine. It contains all the latest gossip on what are supposed to be high profile celebrities, but that’s open to discussion. It is [and always has been as far as I can remember] at war with OK! Magazine, just to set the scene. They are both what would be called ‘Woman’s Weeklies,’ but some men do enjoy flicking through the glossy pages. Publishers… Hello! is...

Boots Kitty Cat Stacker - a colourful fun toy

Advantages: soft, washable, easy to pick up
Disadvantages: cats head falls off too easily

...When I had my baby I was given, amongst other things, a £20 Boots gift voucher frommy office. So when baby is a few weeks old, we take a trip into town to spend it. Browsing among the toys, I caught sight of the Boots Kiity Cat Stacker, costing £15. I thought that was quite a lot of money, but seeing as it wasnt actually costing me anything and it looked quite cute, I decided to buy it. Boots Kitty Cat Stacker The toy consists of a cone shaped base, 3 rings and a cats head, all made out of a lovely soft material. The cone shaped base is a green colour, with a patttern of numbers and letters around the edge and some dangly thin grey strands of material with knots at the end. Next comes a blue ring, with green triangles sticking out all over the edge of it. The next ring is patterned in pink and orange and has the cats...

Review of Boots Kitty Cat Stacker

Kittie "Paperdoll"

Advantages: Contains the full video "Charlotte"
Disadvantages: None

..., crunching guitars and heavy beats. 3) Brackish This by far is my favorite song on this CD single. I find it quite rare for an all girl rock band to have such a powerful, raw vocal style. They are uncompromising to the extreme, and it's really refreshing. Other girl bands seem to fall into a trap after releasing a couple of singles, where their style changes and they become commercial, radio friendly dolly birds. Not Kittie. 4) Suck This is a great track where the drums & bass along with the guitar go out , grab you by your soul , tells you that you are in for a great time music wise. 5) Do You Think This song is really great to dance to either in the Mosh Pit or if you prefer to Slam Dance to. This track should be deemed as a great violent rocking track. 6) Raven The final track on this album just screams out at you. It's pure...

Hello Igglepiggle

Advantages: The children love it
Disadvantages: Not great for grownups, irritating songs which get repeated all the time!

...see the Pontipines come out of their house and we count them and then they do a little dance and return inside. The Pinky Ponk flies into the garden with the Tomblibooes and Makka Pakka onboard. The Tombliboos and Makka Pakka say hello and dance. We see the Pinky Ponk fly around the garden. Upsy Daisy and Igglepiggle are in the garden and they sing and dance and then go off waving. The pontipines are out for a walk looking for the Pinky Ponk. The Pinky Ponk lands and we see the Pontipines, Igglepiggle and Upsy Daisy getting onboard. The Pinky Ponk goes for a fly around the garden but becomes stuck in the branches of the trees. All aboard the Pinky Ponk start to rock forward and back to free the Pinky Ponk. When it is free it lands and we see all the characters get off and then they all go off to bed. 5 - Igglepiggle's Blanket Walks...

Hello Split Ends!

Advantages: Nice looking bottle and smells lovely.
Disadvantages: It doesn't condition anything!

...When I was in need of a new shampoo and conditioner I was delighted to find the new Herbal Essences range on BOGOF in Boots. I had used the previous range in the past and was more than happy to buy a big bottle of the shampoo and the conditioner for about £3 and collected my Advantage card points as well. I selected the Hello Hydration products as I have highlighted hair that I do subject to heated appliances on a regular basis. I always select products designed for damaged or dry hair and so luckily I have been keeping my hair in reasonable condition. The product is presented in a lovely looking blue bottle with promises of orchid and coconut extracts. The conditioner bottle sits in an upside down position, to use you have to press the lid underneath which opens a slot for the conditioner to escape from. This is useful as...
