V Fit Mini Stepper

Advantages: Very easy to use, move around and store.
Disadvantages: I'm sure there are better steppers but for a higher price.

...Before I start describing the wonders and blunders of the v fit mini stepper I'd like to explain why I opted for this style of home gym equipment. I read a bit on the internet about steppers and how people lose 2-3 inches just using the stepper every day, although this would be a nice bonus I wasn't focusing on losing weight so much as getting fitter and healthier. I live in a large block of flats in London, on the 7th floor with other people living below, above, each side and across the hall. Purely because of this I gave up on my collection of fitness DVDs as I didn't want to be banging about jumping and running every day to the tune of "Lift 2,3,4 and Down 2,3,4, Slide 2,3,4 and Back 2,3,4, and Starjumps...". So basically I believed the quietest exercise equipment I could buy would be a mini stepper. So off to Argos to get...

Review of V-Fit Mini Stepper

Lateral Stepper

Advantages: Good workout,
Disadvantages: Can be boring

...I own one of these steppers, not this particular model, but from the read up it does exactly the same. I purchased mine for around £40.00 from Argos. It has an adjustor which you turn to tension the feet pedals but other than that, there is nothing to it. It also has a computer which tells you how many strides you have done, how many calories you have burned (supposedly) how long you have been working for etc. The one thing I don't like about this machine is that the computer cuts off after a couple of minutes of inactivity. I like to use it in short bursts over the day but I find I have to write down what I have done each time and then add them all together at the end of the day. This machine also has the lateral action and yes, you definitely do feel the advantages of using this machine. It is small and compact, although quite heavy...

Review of One Body Side Swing Mini Stepper

Steps to nowhere?

Advantages: Small and easy to store - gives cardiovascular work out
Disadvantages: Can get boring

...and wellbeing, I needed to find a way to do it. I considered jogging but in the winter in the rural area where I live it is quite dangerous along the narrow country lanes so I discounted that in much the same way as I did cycling for the same reasons. I do not like swimming so that really only left either joining a gym or exercising at home. I have done both in the past and I was quite good at being a regular attender at the gym however there isn't one nearby and the half an hour journey there and back would put an hour onto my day before doing any exercise which meant I was left with considering exercise at home. So I looked around for something to meet my needs - it needed to be compact and easy to store, not too expensive, easy to use, not too noisy and effective. The One Body Side Swing Mini Stepper...

Mini 10

Advantages: Quite a lot
Disadvantages: Hard to adjust to

...I have just been bought the dell mini 10 which is a compact web book. Now, until now I did not know a great deal to do with web books so my first thought was that it was cute and I was genuinely excited to get using it, however I noted that this product has not been reviewed so I did some research and had a look through some of what this dell has to offer and though I would offer a review on the item. Design Firstly I want to comment on the design of this dinky thing, the lid of mine is piano black and glossy which obviously is one of those things which you think, should I take the film off? I have left my film on as I am prone to eating whilst browsing and therefore I do not want my mini 10 to be covered in my prints within the first uses! Whilst browsing this computer, I noted that it came in other colours, green, pink...

Review of Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Laptop

I love MINI adventures

Advantages: cute, good to drive
Disadvantages: small, uneconomical

...I have had my car for 2 and a half years and I really like it but it is not without its downsides. I really don't know too much about cars so this will be a frank account of my experiences, but it probably won't be too technical. I really like my MINI. He is cute and called COCO (not after chanel!) and is red with a white union jack roof and white bonnet stripes. He looks good, he drives well, he is reliable and he makes me feel safe on the road. It has a 1.6 litre engine and this makes it relatively powerful and it can reach high speeds when necessary. The handling is realy good in my opinion, it just goes round corners as if it is on rails and the steering is amazingly responsive and quick. On the bad side, he isnt too cheap to insure (£600ish for the year) and is not very good on petrol, servicing and parts are very expensive...

Review of MINI One

bmw mini one

Advantages: to many to state.
Disadvantages: heavy steering

...bmw mini one was the first car i ever brought and to be honest i wish i started with something a little cheaper then maybe changed car a few time to experience how other cars drive and then gone to a mini. only because i now know my next car WILL be another mini. One of the best features is the run on flats. when your tyre pressure goes below what it should be, the car shows you a flat tyre sign and a beebing sound, so you know that there is something wrong. The only thing i think could be improved is the steering i find it a bit heavy compared to other cars but would not hold that against the car. Handle brillianly at a round about!!! The bmw mini, well all mini's are stunning looking car.i love evey minute driving my mini. in my opinion this is the best car ever made....

Mini Eggs :)

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Caburys Mini Eggs are one of my favourite easter treats and luckily this year they have hit the shops extra early. These sweets are produced by Cadburys so have lovely Cadburys chocolate in them. They are egg shaped milk chocolate pieces in a crisp sugar shell and come on different colours including pink, white, yellow, purple and brown. Each sweet has a speckled brown effect to make them look even more egg like. Mini Eggs may contain traces of nuts, eggs or soya for those of you that have heath conditions or allergies. The nutritional information is as follows: Per 100g- Calories 455 Protein 4.6g Carbohydrate 64.7g (of which sugars) 63.1g Fat 20g There are 100g in an average bag of Mini Eggs. As you can see there is a large amount of sugar, calories and fat in a bag of Mini Eggs, so you may only want them...

Review of Cadbury Mini Eggs

Mini One a fun car to drive

Advantages: Solid, fun to drive high quality small car
Disadvantages: Heavy on fuel, not alot of leg room in the back

...We bought a Mini One in 2005 for my wife as a second car. We bought it on the lease purchase scheme that they ran at the time. It works by paying a deposit, we paid £2500 then for 3 years it was £199 a month with a final payment of about £5000 after the 3 years or you can trade it in for a new one and continue the monthly payments. We paid the final installement. Anyway enough about the boring finance, whats the car actually like? Its great it feels really solid and very high quality in all the finishes in the car. The doors, paintwork, buttons, steering wheel, gearstick and all the bobbles on it just feel like they are really good quality. We had to pay extra for a black roof £500 and the rest of the car is off white, it looks really good. If you buy the Cooper the black roof is included in the price. You feel really safe in this...

Mini Meringue Mess

Advantages: Erm; they look nice
Disadvantages: Taste horrid

...Obviously over Christmas we stocked up on lots of nibbling goodies and the best place to go was definitely Iceland with it's huge range of party starters, mains and puddings. I had already been major impressed with the 50 piece sweet American Platter dessert (see my review) and seeing as I love lemon meringue pie; 12 mini Lemon meringues for just £2 looked ideal. The little meringues are found in the frozen departments at Iceland under the party selection of puds and desserts and obviously need to be defrosted before eating which only takes a bout 30mins to an hr so they really are ideal for parties. When I got in from work, my mum had made xmas dinner and they were sitting on the table in front of us. They look really attractive with a piped white meringue topping of the crunchy gooey kind (not my favourite I have to say. I like...

Review of Iceland 12 mini Lemon Meringues

Mini pleasures!

Advantages: Cheap, tastey etc
Disadvantages: Nutrition or lack of.

...I love birthdays! Espescially when it's mine. I love the presents, the party, the family gathering, the atmosphere, and I also adore the food supplied! I remember when I was little, and we used to have big family parties. I used to love going shopping with my mum to chose all the party food; mini sausage rolls, cocktail sausages, pizza bites, party rings, fairy cakes, and all things nice! Parties at my house have never really changed to be honest, the dining room table is still overflowing full with delicious looking edibles! The day before my brothers birthday this year, we went shopping to Asda to purchase the delights we would be tucking into the following night. Into the trolley flew mulitpacks of crisps, sweets, savoury snacks and so on. We were just about to go and pay for the food when at the end of an aisle something...
