Mario party 8 (wii) A party for the whole family

Advantages: fun for all ages, exciting mini-games
Disadvantages: Boards can get repetitive

...This game is fun from all the family with tons of great little mini-games where you can play against eachother or play fun new exciting full length board games that'll keep you occupied for hours, either way they will definitely bring out you're competitive streak. Be the first of you're family to travel round the board collecting as many stars and coins as possible, and defeating them in battle and mini-games throughout. Have a look around the 5 different arenas to discover more fun games to play. Despite this game seeming a little bit childish, I in fact found it to be lots of fun especially playing the mini-games where you have to use the controller as a driving-wheel, sponge, can of fizzy drink and loads more, there is also a wide selection of characters and many different candies that'll make the boards more exciting!...

Review of Mario Party 8 (Wii)

Wild animals at the party

Advantages: bright attractive
Disadvantages: none

...Are there going to be lots of wild animals at your party? if so you maybe having a jungle themed party. These jungle paper plates will be just the thing for your guests to eat their food from. I went to a child?s party recently and the food was on these plates. I am not sure where the hostess got these plates from but they are available at many on line shops probably also available in party shops in the high street. On line they cost £2.75 for a pack of 8 from http://www.parteaz.co.uk Or 8 plates for £2.10 from http://www.balloons.co.uk or http://www.justforfun.co.uk has them for £2.99. There are several different jungle themed plates available. The ones I am talking about are 9 inches/22.8cm in diameter. They are paper plates with one face colours and with animal pictures on it . . The design of this plate is divided in to 4...

Bedhead After Party

Advantages: Smells gorgeous, lasts ages
Disadvantages: Price, not recommended for oily hair types

...First impressions with Bedhead After Party is the funky, stylish hot pink bottle that it comes in, it looks modern and has a lot of appeal! The bottle has a pump in which the product comes out of and you can see how much you have left, which is useful. The product smells gorgeous, like all other Bedhead products, its a yummy fruity smells which is smells delicious! After Party is great for putting on dry or wet hair, styled or unstyled and for before a night out or after. It helps smoothe and straighten wet hair before drying and also quickens up the drying process, and it smoothes out and de-frizzes styled or unstyled dry hair. Because of its gorgeous smell it disguises any trace of a night out before! Your hair always looks shiney, smooth, healthy, soft and frizz free when this product is on. It gives you control over your...

Review of TIGI Bed Head After Party

Party time!!

Advantages: Covers ever aspect of a childs party.
Disadvantages: None!!!

...In my previous reviews you may have clocked onto the fact that my daughters 7th birthday party is fast approaching, as her party is themed and I am not a millionaire I decided a little outside intervention would be required to keep the quality of the decorations at maximum, but the cost minimum! This is when I remembered purchasing a book that could help with this mammoth task, I have this really bad habit of buying things on the off chance I may actually use them one day! The book I will now review is "The party book". I actually bought this book two years ago due to the high level of activities in it, there are also things that my kids could make themselves without too much interaction from me, which is always a bonus when there's a pile of ironing that needs to be seen to, which there always is in my house! The book is as...

Let's Get This Party Started!!

Advantages: new ideas, impress your guests, have plenty, tastes good!
Disadvantages: takes time to prepare!

...Party, party, party, who does not like a little bit of partying here and there. Every time we throw a party in my family either a birthday, house, summer, Christmas or an anniversary party we always make sure we have some foods. A party wouldn't really be a huge party without food. If your party does not have food you would be lucky if you find me there to be honest. A lot of people only go to the parties if they hear the word food, because you do need to cover all those calories you lose via dancing on the party. A lot of the times, I go to parties to see the types of foods they might have, if the food look depressing, I get depressed so it's crucial that you prepare the foods to impress. However when I throw a party I always make sure I have a few snacks on the table of course that includes crisp (different types), a few drinks...

Review of Party Food

Family Fortunes!

Advantages: A great read
Disadvantages: none

...I have always enjoyed Rowan Coleman's books so I'm always pleased when I spot a new one of hers. I was especially pleased when I picked up The Accidental Family because I realised it is a sequel to one of her earlier books - The Accidental Mother. I had read this a while ago and really enjoyed it so it was interesting to see what happened to the characters afterwards. Having said that though, The Accidental Family can be read as a stand alone novel although it does have an added value if you read The Accidental Mother first. In the first book Sophie Mills suddenly finds herself looking after her best friend's two daughters after a fatal car accident. At the end of the book, the girls' long lost father has reappeared and Sophie has fallen in love with him. They all move to Cornwall and this second book follows what happens as they start...

Review of The Accidental Family - Rowan Coleman

Scholl Party Feet

Advantages: reusble, reduces pain
Disadvantages: feels wobbily at first

...I recently brought a pair of these when I saw them being sold for a pound (reduced from a fiver) in my local chemist and thought I'd give them a go. I tried them when I was going to a birthday party whilst wearing a pair of my highest heels (which always hurt my feet by the middle of the night). When I stood up after inserting them into the shoes I felt slightly wobbily at first but I soon got use to them. During the party I didn't notice much discomfort whilst dancing. At the end of the night I did still get the usual burning sensation in the balls of my feet but it didn't seem to be as bad as it normally is and when I took off my shoes when I got home they seemed to recover quicker. The inserts seemed to have stayed in place throughout the night....

Review of Scholl Party Feet

Every party tells a story!

Advantages: Excellent read
Disadvantages: none

...I am a big fan of the author Mike Gayle and have loved everything that I have read by him. Therefore I was really looking forward to reading The Life and Soul of the Party and I was not disappointed in the least. This is a really great book! There are many different reasons for throwing a party - New Year, birthdays, anniversaries, house warmings, people leaving and even funerals - and through the course of a year the characters in this excellent book by Mike Gayle experience all of these. In fact, the book is split into six parts each focusing on a different party. The main characters in this book are a group of thirty somethings who have a long shared history. Chris and Vicky are a couple; as are Cooper and Laura. Melissa used to be with Paul but they each have new partners now who sometimes feel a bit like outsiders when the group...

Review of The Life and Soul of the Party - Mike Gayle

Silent Alarm - Bloc Party

Advantages: Lyrically and vocally compelling.Sounds bit like Joy Division, Sonic Youth, The Cure and such like
Disadvantages: The vocals can sometimes bit a bit shouty and musically they aren't that impressive or different.

...Although I really dont like Bloc Party, I can appreciate this album on its merits. It's weighty with influences from much better bands like Joy Division, Sonic Youth and The Cure and therefore feels familiar and ok to listen to. The east london art-punkers definitely have a charming and down to earth feel both in their vocals and their lyrics. Songs like 'Like eating glass' and 'This modern love' earn this album the respect that I think it does deserves above other bands in their league like Franz Ferdinand and Hard-Fi. Lyrically and musically 'This modern love' puts them in the same league as great bands like The Rakes that still manage to say something new when so many things have been said and done before. To summarize, there is something sincere and convincing about this band lyrically and vocally and if like me you dont...

Review of Silent Alarm - Bloc Party

A party....in a pot!

Advantages: The biscuit of my, and now my childrens youth.
Disadvantages: All the same colour in a pot.

...My kids, like myself, have always been a fan of the biscuits ?Party rings?, these were an integral part of my childhood with my children always gravitating towards the brightly coloured packaging when asked to pick what they want for their biscuit tin. Upon a recent trip I spotted the newest incarnation in this brand the ?party ring pot?, I came to the conclusion (very quickly!), that these would indeed be ideal for my children?s school lunch boxes, so I promptly threw them into my trolley. There is no mistaking this for any other product, with the same colourful and eye catching pictures and information on the top of the pots. The plastic tray is segmented into 6 perforated tubs, each tub containing 4 party ring biscuits, these makes them preferable to the chocolate bars my kids normally take, as you may gather they do not...
