Its The Weekend...!

Advantages: Cute bottle, girlie fragrance
Disadvantages: Could last a bit longer and fairly expensive too

...My friend bought me Burberry Weekend for my birthday about 2 years ago and I have been hooked on it ever since! Packaging I would describe the packaging for Burberry Weekend are being quite summary. The bottle comes in a pale yellow box which is decorated with the Burberry hatching. Across the front of the box Burberry Weekend in white italic writing. The bottle itself has a circular top, but obviously has a flat bottom. The bottle looks quite chunky and rounded. The glass is frosted white but only slightly so you can still see how much fragrance you have left. The lid to the bottle is silver and has the Burberry logo printed on the very top of it. The famous Burberry hatching runs around the outside of the bottle in white and Burberry Weekend is also written in white italic writing across the bottle. Price As I mentioned...

Something For The Weekend...!!

Advantages: Lovely smell, quite cheap compared to other brands
Disadvantages: Smell doesn't last as long as some others.

...I first smelt Burberry Weekend while I was shopping at Bluewater in the perfume shop. I didn't buy it because I was Christmas shopping and didn't have the money spare. I never forgot the smell though and later bought in on eBay. Packaging The packaging is quite summary. It is pale yellow with the Burberry hatching across the box in white. Burberry Weekend is written across the front of the box in white italic writing. The bottle is almost dome shaped but with a flat bottom. The glass is frosted but still see through which is useful when you want to know how much is left. The lid is silver and has the Burberry logo (the man and horse) printed on the top of the lid, and Burberry is printed around the side of the lid. The Burberry hatching runs around the outside of the bottle in white and Burberry weekend is written in white...

Burberry for the weekend

Advantages: Pleasant enough fragrance, not too strong
Disadvantages: A bit too 'soapy' for me

...A neighbour recommended I try Burberry perfume - And no, it wasn't a hint that I wasn't smelling my best. It was just that I'd told him about my continuing hunt for a daytime perfume -honest! Well, anyway, his wife loves Burberry. Everything Burberry. Perfumes, bags, clothes... she's got the lot. Lucky lady! So when I found myself downtown today (last minute trawl of the shops to find the kids halloween outfits - it's the same last minute rush every year!) I decided to drag them into Boots for five minutes and give Burberry a go. I hadn't realised there were so many different Burberrys though. Burberry London - for men and women Burberry Brit Burberry Weekend - for men and women Burberry Touch - for men and women Which was a girl to choose?! My neighbour hadn't been that specific - but then again when is a man...

Review of Burberry Weekend Burberry

A weekend and a half.........

Advantages: We visited some fabulous places
Disadvantages: It was over far too quickly

...The weekend I?m writing about is a little different to most of my weekends that are invariably spent ferrying the children around to their various social occasions and doing mundane housework, gardening and of course shopping and visiting the family. A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win tickets to go to the VH1 Divas concert. The prize was wonderful in itself but when I realised the extent of the whole package I was quite taken aback as not only would we be travelling to Las Vegas for the occasion, we would also be staying at a hotel for three nights and given £250 spending money. The weekend begins on the morning of Friday 16th April 2004. Bleary eyed I stumble out of bed at 4am to begin our mammoth expedition across 6,000 miles before we reach our destination. After soaking in a Lush Bath (well you knew I?d have to mention...

Review of My Weekend

My Weekend !

Advantages: You get to know even more about me !
Disadvantages: You may not want to ?

...Found this in Ciao cafe, and it seems that everyone has written about fantastic weekends they have had, seeing as I never have fantastic weekends, thought I would give a bog standard review of a typical weekend of mine......this one just gone in fact...so enjoy !! SATURDAY Rose from my 'pit' at 9am, with a stomping great headache...you'd have one too if you'd been out on a girly night in the night before, drunk copious amounts of wine and sung your heart out at Karaoke (Tom Jones in fact..oh I'm so ashamed)half the night !!Came downstairs to find the place an absolute tip ! So I settled into my usual Saturday morning routine (partner and son had long left to play football), First I cleared away the breakfast and coffee things, neither son nor partner seem to know where the dishwasher is despite being told countless times...

Review of My Weekend

Vampire Weekend have a bit of bite to them

Advantages: original, great instrumentation and rythmns
Disadvantages: Not an immediate album

...I might be a bit of a Brit pop babe and really love my quirky, little known Scottish indie bands but lately I have been seeking inspiration from across the pond. Recently there have been a number of bands from the good old US of A that have impressed me such as the Hold steady, The Gaslight Anthem and the subject of this review Vampire Weekend . Vampire Weekend are a quartet that hail from New York state and released their eponymous debut album in 2008. I discovered them when their catchy single ?Oxford Comma? was played extensively on XFM. Their name may suggest a goth or emo band but they are far from this. There are certainly no overwrought, gloomy dark lyrics here. Vampire Weekend are far from generic and sound unlike any indie or alternative band I know of combining African percussion rhythms ala Paul Simon on the ?Rhythm...

Vampire Weekend: The Debut Album

Advantages: Uplifting and puts you in a good mood!
Disadvantages: only disappointing song was "One"

...Vampire Weekend, a band from New York, started out in 2006 and released a few songs but this album which is their debut album was not released until January 2008. I bought this album two weeks ago and have listened to it a number of times and really enjoyed it. The music is uplifting and easy to listen to. The genre of music is quite a mix its mainly indie with some uplifting afro beats. With one song even reminding me very much of a traditional Slovenian dance I saw! Some of the lyrics are a little bizzare but it all adds to the individuality and uplifting style brought to the album by the band. The songs on the album are as follows: 1. Mansford Roof - A fairly short song but puts you in a good mood for the rest of the album and gives you a taste of whats to come. 2. Oxford Comma - Quite a well known song if you listen to...

Calvin Harris- Ready For The Weekend : 'Quality'

Advantages: Lyrically brilliant, catching beat and a good dance electo style. Overall a great listen.
Disadvantages: A few songs with no lyrics don't stand out.

...Calvin Harris returns with his long awaited second album, Ready For The Weekend. Released on 18th August 2009, the album headed to number one in the album charts. The album as a whole has an 80?s 90?s feel with the beats, dynamics and the auto tuned vocals. The album is easy to listen to and the lyrics are catchy and work well. I was first brought to the attention of the Calvin Harris listening to radio 1 at the start of 2009. The song being played at the time was ?I?m Not Alone?, a mixture of vocals, beats and a variety of disco styles. So far off the album, Calvin has released 4 songs. 1. Dance Wiv Me 2. I?m not alone 3. Ready for the weekend 4. Flash Back First to be released was the summer hit of 2008, ?Dance Wiv Me? featuring Dizzee Rascal rapping along with vocals from Calvin. The majority of the vocals are from Dizzee...

Review of Ready For The Weekend - Calvin Harris

Weekend in Paris

Advantages: Easy to read chick lit
Disadvantages: Ending is a bit weak

...of Hutchinson, until at seven months pregnant she was made redundant. This was probably a turning point for Robyn and when she reluctantly decided to have a go at writing a book. Her first novel was Special Relationship and was followed by Perfect Strangers and Just Friends - both of which were top ten best sellers and translated into 25 languages. Just Friends was bought by Warner for movie adaptation. After researching a little about the author I really do feel that Weekend in Paris is a reflection of Robyn's life and the characters include herself and others that have been part of her life. THE PLOT Molly Clearwater is a twenty-one year old secretary working for a Pharmaceutical company; she is given the chance to accompany her boss to a convention in Paris and is obviously very excited at the prospect until she over-hears some...

Review of Weekend in Paris - Robyn Sisman

Weekend of Exceitement from Peckinpah and Ludlum!

Advantages: Great cast
Disadvantages: Confusing unless you're up on your Cold War politics

...The Osterman Weekend is a 1983 thriller originally penned by Robert Ludlum, who is also the author of the Bourne saga. The film was released at a time when Cold War conspiracies were the plot for many TV series, film and book. Recent events with Aghanistan had heightened friction between the States and the USSR, and thus this film touched a very nervous point. The Plot This is a lesson in conspiracy gone wrong. John Tanner is the host for a TV show that regularly outs corrupt government officials. He is approached by Laurence Fassett, a CIA agent, and told that 3 of his closest friends with whom he has a reunion every year are in fact KGB operatives. He is convinced when he sees video evidence and experiences a kidnapping attempt. The CIA persuade him to go ahead with the reunion and to try and turn one or all of his friends into...
