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...

Review of Bear Factory Hello Kitty Sequin Bag

HELLO! Do I know you??

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

...As I have stated in my other reviews, I am a bit of a nosy parker and I love looking at what is going on in other peoples lives. Why? No other reason then because I love people watching. Looking at what others are doing, how others live their life. Everyone is different. This also includes celebrities. I am not a huge fan of the news, but, celebrity news... now that is what I am interested in. You can call me shallow, sad, whatever?. But I can not help it and I am not ashamed to say I actually reading about Victoria Beckham and her day out shopping for specially made blue metallic Bonsai trees (or something along those lines?.!) One way of me to get my weekly gossip is through the glossy HELLO! Magazine. It is a weekly roundup of all things rich and famous. Now I will admit, I do not actually BUY the magazine. (Neither do I steal...

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...

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...

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...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

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...

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...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...
