Laundry Service Leaves Latin-Pop Smelling Of Roses

Advantages: See review, too many to list
Disadvantages: Aimed more at the pop market, may disappoint older fans, a few filler tracks

...A friend introduced me to Shakira's music around 4 years ago after finding Latin artists such as Gloria Estefan and Elvis Crespo lurking amongst my CD collection and told me then that one day this girl would be a huge international star if she ever released an English language album. With multi-platinum music sales across Latin America and Spain it was arguable that she was pretty big already before the release of the mainly English language Laundry Service in 2001 really catapulted her almost uncategorisable, very distinct brand of Latin-pop cross-over onto the global market. The golden locked Colombian?s music draws from numerous influences and by her own admission this former child musical prodigy (who released her first million selling album aged just 13 years old) tries to incorporate as many of those styles as possible onto her...

Washing Her Dirty Laundry In Public

Advantages: Great singer, brilliant songs, she sings in two languages
Disadvantages: Some slightly weaker tracks

...For Christmas this year I got the special edition of Shakira’s album ‘Laundry Service.’ It came in plush box case and underneath was the usual case you would see in the shop. I am not going to give you information on Shakira (like I did with Liberty X) as it is not really to do with the product. I would still buy her music, as long as I liked it, no matter what. So here are the details on each song from this album and my opinion of each of them. *Objection (Tango) This song is absolutely wicked. The music throughout is brilliant and the lyrics are interesting and amusing. Her Colombian voice and this music go together perfectly. There is humour in some of the words, such as: Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal, that’s why in front of your eyes I’m invisible! This is a very dancy tune, but not in...

The safest bleach for all your laundry

Advantages: great for stains, safe, doesn't harm your clothes or your skin
Disadvantages: none

...As a child and still even now I am spilling food down me at dinner time and when I used to play I was always falling over and getting grass stains on my clothes or oil from my bike chain. I remeber my mum worrying how she was going to get them out and using items like stain devils and Vanish and they rarely done the job. About 3 or 4 years ago now a safe bleach for your laundry named Ace was invented and my mum used to use it at home. Now I don't live at home and do my own and my man's laundry I forgot about this bleach and my mum mentioned it to me a couple of weeks ago on the phone and I decided to try it. I went to Tesco's and picked up a 1.5 litre bottle for £1.79 and put it in the cupboard. The next day I needed to use it as my man got a bit of curry on his jeans and I got some on my top so I poured a few drops over...

Dejunk your life

Advantages: Inspiring, good advice, interesting to watch
Disadvantages: Not currently on ... please return to our screens!

...Are you an obsessive hoarder? Does clutter prevent you from finding what you need? Do you feel in control or does your house look like a bomb has hit it? Paperwork piled up, dishes left in the sink, outdated cosmetics and medicines in the bathroom cabinet, even newspapers still unread from the 1990s? This is the problem facing the participants in BBC2?s Life Laundry series. This show is currently not on, but it?s been a while since the last series, so I?m praying it will return for a new series soon! THE FORMAT Life Laundry is presented by Dawna Walter (a bubbly, if somewhat grating, American ?life organiser?) and Mark Franks (down-to-earth clearance specialist and antique dealer). Each episode follows a similar format. We are introduced to a person or family who?s home has become overrun by junk. Normally, they focus...

Review of Life Laundry

Laundry Tablets For Tough Jobs!

Advantages: Works beautifully needing no pre-treatments
Disadvantages: Leaves a residue on the door seal at low temperatures.

...November for me sees the last of my garments blowing in the wind on wash days, before they are resigned to the clothes airer, or the tumble dryer, after emerging fresh and clean from the washing machine. So this time of year affords probably the best opportunity to enjoy the smell of newly washed laundry indoors, so how fresh and clean the garments are really matters, as they are not going to get that outside freshness. Well that's certainly the case for me here in Essex, but my frequent trips to the Outer Hebrides do see clothes clinging on for their lives on washing lines all year round, some ending up half way to the sea. The wind beats even the most robust of storm pegs! For this reason, and also because of my love of walking along muddy paths, a laundry treatment is needed which can cope with the stains that wayward laundry...

Sassy Shakira Sings Sexily

Advantages: Great cd, a little bit different
Disadvantages: Some weak songs, a bit like Eurovision

...in the same place, in one song." The Arabic tastes that Shakira mentioned shows up in 'Eyes Like Yours (Ojos Asi)', there's a distinctively Beatles sound in 'Underneath Your Clothes', and the tango-influence of 'Objection', her sound is much more rock than I had ever imagined. I was partly dreading a very Spanish CD. Whilst some of the songs are sung in Spanish (she speaks 3 languages), the CD has a very international sound. The lyrics can appeal to any modern woman - she amusingly sings about how she shaves her legs more often and learns to cook to reward 'The One'. She is an odd little thing but it works - which is reflected in the fact that her album "Laundry Service" has gone double platinum. 1. Objection (Tango) Starts off slowly, like traditional tango, but speeds up into a fast paced rock-pop song about a love triangle...

Secret ingredient needed for laundry

Advantages: cheap, softens clothes, stain removing ability
Disadvantages: none

...had not used fabric conditioner. Whites appear whiter! I was surprised as I thought I would need fabric conditioner but soda crystals soften the water used to wash clothes and therefore reduces the need for this and I also found out that soda crystals are great for removing stains and act as a stain remover so your whites really do come out whiter! I was really pleased with the results of my white wash and wished someone had told me sooner. Soda crystals have other advantages to using them in your laundry. As they soften water it helps prevent the build up of limescale which is caused by hard water and therefore preserves the life of your washing machine. This will be beneficial to those living in a hard water area. This saves money in the long term as it means the pipes leading to your washing machine are kept cleaner for longer...
