A whole lot of shaking going on

Advantages: A low impact, all over workout for those on the go
Disadvantages: Might be a little too unconventional for some.

...reminds me of what you seen when you get behind the wheel of an expensive. This can be intimidating to some people. As previously mentioned, the 'Powerplate' brand falls at the upper end of the vibration training market. You can get cheaper pieces of equipment like the interestingly handled 'Crazy Fit Body Shaper/Massager' for around £300 whereas the 'My 5' (the flagship Powerplate model) weighs in at just under three and half grand. To be honest, I would trust my fitness and well-being to a company whose products have the word 'crazy' in them. Besides, the cheaper products may work on the same principles of vibration training, but are not as effective. Most people do not have a couple of thou lying around to buy this piece of kit. Happily there are companies who offer a course of Powerplate sessions, so you get the benefits...

Review of Power Plate MY5

My 5 superpowers..

Advantages: Brings out your inner child
Disadvantages: Yeah like it could happen

...I have been sitting here going through ciao, when i found this.and thought, didnt we all as kids wish we had these powers, and what we would do with them. So heres my 5 superpowers *****FIVE***** Flying would have to be one of them. To be able to soar through the sky and look down on everybody, especially the people who I didn?t like and drop things on them,. That would be so much fun. No traffic jams, no toll fees, no waiting?.I could go anywhere and everywhere and see it all?The only set back being I would have to carry my own luggage.. *****FOUR***** To be able to see into the future and know what would happen, don?t want to see anything bad only the good (well they are my super powers). And use them for doing good, *****THREE***** Invisible, that would be so cool. Being able to turn yourself invisible...

Review of Five Superpowers I wish I had

My 5 favourite actors

Advantages: N/A
Disadvantages: N/A

...Ok before I begin this is a list of my 5 favourite actors, this is just my opinion and therefore please don't have a go. Furthermore this isn't a list of the 5 greatest actors in my opinion as that would be a different list, this is purely the actors which I love to watch and why. 1) Robert De Niro, Regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time, De Niro is also one of my favourites. His performances are of the highest standard and his films are always brilliant. One of the reasons I like him so much is that many of his performances are so gritty and lifelike it brings something unique and memorable to his films. As well as this he has the perfect face and voice for comedy, although he will be remebered primarily for films like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and the Deer Hunter, his roles in meet the parents and analyse this...

My 5 best memories of hols......

Advantages: You'll learn about my holidays
Disadvantages: May be expensive if u want to go there too

...Quite fancied doing this one for a change. I haven't been many places in my 25 years off life but I make the most of what I have been on. I have finally made it to 5 holidays as I have time! My 5 Best memories of holidays are..... 1) For my honey moon in October 1998, my new husband and I went to Walt Disney World in Florida. The moment I saw the Mickey Mouse ears as we drove along towards our hotel was fabby. All my dreams had come ture. But the best bit had to be walking thru the gates of the Magic Kingdom for the first time and seeing Cinderella's Castle. It all became so real to me the Magic of Disney. The honeymoon had to be the best time I have ever had on holiday (nudge, nudge, wink, wink!!) 2) Had to be my daughter's face when we saw Winnie the Pooh in WDW in May 2001. She was so pleased to see her friend...

Review of What's in my bag?

GUESS WHO MY 5 BEST ACTORS ARE!!

Advantages: my favourites!
Disadvantages: none!

...4 Best Actors Until my new Avon products arrive later this week, I've temporarily run out of stuff to review! So I decided I'd choose something from the ciao cafe selection, as I haven't done a review on any of that yet... I picked this one as it is one of the first I came across, and I decided I'd be best at reviewing this one. That doesn't mean this reviews going to be any good, though! This was probably the hardest review I've ever written, to be honest! I decided to give this a twist to make it more interesting, so you have to guess who I'm talking about and wait till the end when you can find out by scrolling down to see the answers! Number One I had to choose the main star of my favourite comedy film ever, and that is 'Bruce Almighty'. I've seen this actor in other things, too, such as 'Number 23,' 'The...

Review of 10 Best Actors

1 of my 5 a day is solved!

Advantages: It REALLY works!!!
Disadvantages: It's a little expensive - but it works!!!

...We're all told to "Eat 5 a day". And sometimes, getting those fruits and veg into your diet can be a pain. In my case, it has been literally, as one of my fav fruits is Mango. Have you ever tried to get the nut out of a mango? I have sliced and diced mango's so many ways, and I usually end up having more fruit on the seed and less of it to enjoy! And occasionally, I've come close to cutting off digits in the attempt to get to the sweet fruit. (I'm not known for my Gordon Ramsey or Delia chopping skills in the kitchen!) It was getting to the point, that I would pay way over the odds and buy my mangoes pre-sliced & diced from the store - just so I didn't go thru the pain of cutting the thing! Someone must have been watching me, and thought "let's come up with something to fix this problem - she could do with the help...

My 5 Things

Advantages: I love all this stuff.
Disadvantages: The island would have to be covered in food.

...1) My computer So I could still go on Ciao and other websites Iike. If you want to know these website, I'm writing a review on my top 10 websites soon! 2) A Generator How would I be able to use the computer without it? I would build the generator with my own bare hands..... Then get a professional to build a new one after mine's failed miserably!!! 3) My Pets My dog, Nell, and my hamster, Nibbles, would most definatly have to come too. If I suffer, they suffer (just kidding - I would take them for the company!) 4) The T.V. I love watching the T.V. at home and since I'd have a generator I would be able to watch it on the island. 5) My Bed (teddy bears too) I know I'm a little old for teddy bears but I got them from my gran and she died last year so they are very important to me! I would be taking my bed because I wouldn...

MY 5 STAR MAKE UP

Advantages: gives a smooth look
Disadvantages: a little expensive

...hello let me explain to you my experience with Laura Mercier , Matte Bronze I have been using this powder for 6 months now, but I have been using Laura MERCIER products for three years. I must say that this is a very cleaver bronzer, if you want a natural look in your face this is the product for you. I have a olive skin and when I apply this bronzer it looks very natural and sleek on my face and it bring a glow to my appearance . When my hair does not look good after blow drying I put a little of this bronzer and all of a sudden my appearance changes and my hair looks good to me. How to apply the bronzer Laura mercier bronzer is very cleaver , you can tone the shade on your face , for example if you want a natural look its best to apply one or two layers. If you are going out to clubbing it is best to put 4 layers, this...
