Protect Your Hair In The Sun

Advantages: Gorgeous smell & protects against the harmful effects of the sun
Disadvantages: Not a fixing spray & the cost.

...I have been quite a big fan of KMS products ever since my hairdresser introduced them to me. I bought this product last year, having been abroad for four days in intense heat I came back with hair like straw. Knowing that I was going away again, I bought this on the advice of the pro and how glad I was to have had it! ~ Price and Availability ~ I have never seen this in the shops, only at hair salons but I know that you can get it on the internet. I paid £12.95 for it last year and I have found the following websites that sell it for the same price but look out for the postage costs, approx £2.75. www.uk.bizrate.com www.hairtec.com ~ What is this product? ~ Part of KMS's sol perfection range, this an all day protection spray. * It contains UV filters * Can be used on wet or dry hair * Suitable for all hair types...

Review of KMS California Sol Perfection

Man Paste?

Advantages: Smells great, looks great
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...*About KMS* KMS are a haircare company based in California and combine stylists and models to help produce products which encompass a certain 'look'. The company was founded by biochemist Jamey Mazzotta in 1976 who combined natural ingredients to produce moisturised and healthy looking hair. KMS produce products for both men and women and have a number of salons throughout the US. Products are widely available from most leading salons in the UK. *KMS Hairplay Moulding Paste* This is my favourite hair product and I would be lost without it. I use this moulding paste everday to quickly create the style I want. The product is economical and you do not need to use a lot for it to be effective. This paste gives my hair fantastic texture and definition with none of that unpleasant 'sticky' feeling or product build up. My hair is...

California Dreaming

Advantages: A relaxing place for a few days break
Disadvantages: It's much too far away from London

...In February I visited Monterey, a beautiful town on the central coast of California about 110 miles south of San Francisco which has become a popular tourist resort. Why Monterey? This town is 2-3 hours by road from San Francisco, less from the airport or from San Jose and Silicon Valley, and I think about 6 or 7 hours drive from Los Angeles. Because of its location and attractiveness, it has become a popular choice for conventions, and an event was organised there for readers and writers of mystery and crime fiction called Left Coast Crime over a long weekend in February. Hundreds of us descended on the town for a few days. Mikey and I arrived on Tuesday. Because of the convention (held at the Doubletree Hotel 5 minutes walk from the centre of town from Thursday afternoon to Sunday lunchtime), spending time with a large gang...

Flatten Out The Frizz?!

Advantages: Relaxes frizz to some extent!
Disadvantages: Cost & doesnt' totally flatten out my frizzy hair!

...~ KMS ~ I have only ever been able to buy KMS hair care products from my hairdresser. Please correct me if I'm wrong but up here in the NE of England I've never seen them in shops like Boots or Superdrug etc........ I have a few of their products and have been really impressed by all of them despite what appears to be a high price at the time! KMS have a huge range of hair care produce on the market at the moment, they have divided their range in to ten colour-coded regimes which I have listed below, including the colours of the packaging: * Add volume (green) * Colour Vitality (blue) * Curl Up (orange) * Moisture Repair (light blue) * Flat Out (purple) * Hair Play (green) * Hair Stay (pink) * Daily Fixx Remedy (pale turquoise) * Silk Sheen (orange/pale peach) * Turn Style (pale aquamarine) As you can see there...

Review of KMS California Flat Out Lite Relaxing Creme

Fixx Your Dandruff Problem!

Advantages: Effectively clears dandruff and dry, flaky scalps.
Disadvantages: None

...When tired, stressed and run down I suffer from psoriasis on my scalp as well as a little bit of dandruff. My scalp becomes extremely dry, itcy and flaky especially across my hair line which I think is a combination of the two nasty skin conditions. Whatever it actually is, it is most unpleasant to the eye and very uncomfortable when it begins to itch! Bemoaning my ailments to my Mum, who is always a good ear to 'bleat' on to, she got me some of this KMS Daily Fixx Dandruff Shampoo and within 2 washes, my dry, flaky, itchy scalp is no more!! ~ KMS ~ I have only ever been able to buy KMS hair care products from my hairdresser.

Tripping down California's Highway 1

Advantages: Mentions places of interest which you might otherwise miss, cheap too.
Disadvantages: Written in 2003/2004 so some prices / information might be slightly outdated

...In June 2007 my husband and I took a fly drive holiday to California. Being the kind of person who?s almost anal in their preparation for any holiday, I started scouting around for books to take with us months beforehand. This was one that I bought, I think from Waterstones, who had the best selection of travel books I could find. With only 64 pages, (three of which are the index) it?s not as bulky as the usual Lonely Planet guidebooks, but it?s specifically aimed at those driving down (or up) what is supposedly one of the most beautiful drives in the world - the wonderful Highway 1 in California. The most northerly town this covers is Fort Bragg, about halfway between San Francisco and the Redwood national Park to the north. The most southerly is Laguna Beach in Greater Los Angeles. There?s a small paragraph describing each...

California Dreaming

Advantages: Bargain price, even at full price.
Disadvantages: Bottle two creeps up you and pounces like a stalking big cat.

...Alright hold your hands up if you thought this was going to be a Mama's and Papa's review? Well it isn't, it's a review of fermented grape juice instead, or to give it its proper name Sainsburys California White Zinfandel. Unfortunately Ciao have decided to put a picture of Blossom Hill's version of this wine at the top of this review, so I've included an actual picture at the bottom. The bottle is unopened as well, aren't you impressed? THE WINERY I've been unable to track down the actual winery that produces this wine for Sainsbury's. The only information I could ascertain comes from the label itself, this informs me that the grapes used to produce this wine are sourced from more than one vineyard. Some coming from California's Central Valley and others from vineyards on the Pacific coast. THE GRAPES Zinfandel is...

Disneyland Dreams in California

Advantages: Fastpass system really helps with queues
Disadvantages: Small park so gets cramped very quickly

...Disneyland California the first ever Disney park I visited and also the first ever Disney Theme Park opened on July 17th 1955. Located in Anaheim, California, Disneyland California consists of 2 theme parks, Disneyland Park and Disney's California Adventure Park, 3 resort hotels, Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Grand Californian and Disney's Paradise Pier and Downtown Disney for all your shopping, dining and entertainment needs. *~*Tickets*~* I always would recommend purchasing your tickets before you leave the UK as you tend to get better value. You can purchase 2,3,4 and 5 day hopper tickets allowing you access to both parks starting from £65 per adult and at least you don't have to queue up to purchase tickets when you arrive. *~*Disneyland Park*~* As with all Disney Parks there are themed areas, at the entrance you will...

  Things To Do In California

Advantages: Advantageous exchange rates mean it's a total steal!
Disadvantages: Can't think of any off-hand, unless you don't like flying...or Americans I suppose.

...Can there ever have been a better time for Brits to visit the USA? The dollar is in the doldrums, so everything is even more inexpensive for us European types than ever! It would be a crime not to take advantage?so I did, and here?s the result of my recent ? and first non-business ? trip to the wonderful land of Murky. Things to do in Southern California: i) All the usual tourist stuff like Universal Studios and Disneyland, San Diego Zoo and Sea World ii) All the other stuff people don?t tell you about, but which can be really good fun. Details of all those jolly good things which come under part 1 can be found in a squillion places, so I won?t bore you further here?besides, I didn?t do any of them, so I can?t really help?sorry. I can, however, offer a suggestion or two regarding part 2. I should point out that this will be...

Review of General: California

Disnland California: the happiest place on earth!

Advantages: Great park and great rides
Disadvantages: Long flight from UK and not as big as Disney World

...What is Disneyland? Disneyland was the first Disney theme park built by Walt Disney in the 1950s. Up to several years ago Disneyland just consisted of one theme park (the Magic Kingdom) but in recent years has undergone a big transformation and now includes Disney's California Adventure which is a brand new theme park and Downtown Disney which is an evening and shopping complex. As I visited before Disney's California Adventure opened, this review will just focus on the Magic Kingdom park and the Disneyland Hotel where I stayed! (Hoping to go back early next year however, so keep looking out for new review!!0 Where is it and how to get there? It's located in Anaheim in California which is about a 14 hour flight from the UK and the nearest airport is Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) which is about an hour from...
