petals on the wind

Advantages: An unbelievable read
Disadvantages: you gotta get the next part!

.... Petals on the wind is a poignant, moving tale of the three little mice who once lived in the attic, trying to find inner peace, artistic fulfillment and true love. You will not be disappionted with part two....

Review of Petals on the Wind - Virginia Andrews

Girly, vintage inspired salve

Advantages: Great moisturising effect, fantastic smell, cute packaging, girly, vintage feel
Disadvantages: None

...When it comes to beauty products, a good dose of nostalgia goes a long way and any rose scented product instantly reminds me of being a little girl playing perfume shops, making up perfumes in jam jars made from crushed rose petals in water. While the scent of these was sadly undeniably revolting (and the iffy brown colour pretty nasty too) there is something fabulously nostalgic about a rose fragrance, bringing to mind all things girly and vintage. Rose & Co is a product line created by Caroline Rose, an aromatherapist whose aim is to use traditional recipes using natural, old-apothecary ingredients. The Rose Petal Salve was the first product Caroline created and was made by hand on the Aga in her kitchen, so not so far removed from my childhood perfume making after all! Rose & Co have capitalised on the vintage feel of their products...

Review of Rose & Co Rose Petal Salve

Fiddley Flower Petals!

Advantages: Elsa loves it
Disadvantages: Pricey for limited activity

...every time a cuddle ended in Fifi talking, we eventually managed to get through the rest of the gifts and Fifi quickly found herself next to a baby doll in Elsa's toy pram, wrapped in a tiny fleecy blanket and being fed juice. Ever since that first encounter Elsa has loved her Fifi toy, we had to stop her taking it to bed on an evening because she would keep Christopher up half the night with Fifi's "fiddley flower petals!" She does occasionally struggle to get the voice working as her hands are quite tiny and can't squeeze the toy very well but that's all the better for me who'd have to listen to endless Fifi chatter if she could manage it perfectly on her own. A child of the designated age group should be able to manage this with ease but it just goes to show the quality of the toy that it is durable and safe enough for a younger child...

Review of Vivid Imaginations Talking Fifi Forget-Me-Not Plush

High tea and rose petals

Advantages: Superb customer service, high quality dining options
Disadvantages: Nothing will ever live up to it? It is expensive

...wedding at the Ritz, we had champagne in the lobby lounge afterwards and obviously they could not fail to notice our outfits, so when we retired that night they had decorated the bed with rose petals, left champagne on ice and a plate of strawberries which had not just been chocolate dipped but the chocolate was painted on as dinner jackets! They left another plate the next night too. Summary There is no need for a long summary here. I have stayed in many five star hotels and all I can say, with my hand on my heart, is that this was and remains the best hotel I have ever stayed in....

Review of The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco

Life is full of surprises!

Advantages: A very good read
Disadvantages: none

...Rose Petal Soup tells the story of Joss and Nico Carbury, a long standing married couple in their sixties. Their marriage appears to be rock solid but even the strongest of relationships can be sorely tested when unexpected things happen. In this case, it is the sudden and unexpected marriage of their daughter Elizabeth to Edward, a man they have never met and who is, in fact, older than they are. From the very start, Joss and Nico react in very different ways particularly when Edward's children are introduced into the family. What follows is a powerful and absorbing tale of conflicting emotions and much soul searching particularly for Joss. The story is told through her, so the reader is invited to share much of her anguish particularly when she feels the need to question her own marriage and the relationship with her daughter. She is...

Review of Rose Petal Soup - Sarah Harrison

A Thrilling Sequel

Advantages: too many to count
Disadvantages: none

... Buying The Book This book, and the rest of the series (bar flowers in the attic) were bought for me as an easter present. I wanted them because i'd read flowers in the attic and fallen in love with the family I suppose. Petals on The Wind became my favourite of the series, aswell as Flowers in The Attic that is. As much as I love the other three in the series these two stand out as the best of the series. The Book Petals on The Wind carries on where Flowers In The Attic left off. After finally escaping the captivity of the attic the three remaining children are on a bus heading for Florida. They don't make it very far however before Carrie takes a turn for the worse and gets sick. The older two are scared and don't know what to do. Then a guardian angel in the form of a big, mute, black woman named Henrietta Beech...

My Grandmothers Traditional Rose Petal Jame

Advantages: Roses have to be in season!
Disadvantages: Shelf life can be quite short

...Preserves refer to fruits or vegetables that have been prepared and canned for long term storage. There are various types of fruit preserves made globally, and they can be made from sweet or savory ingredients. There are many variations of preserves which include, confit, conserve, fruit butter, fruit curd, fruit spread, marmalade, jam and jelly! I never knew how many there were!! I will be reviewing a preserve which my english/ austrailian grandmother used to make and was constantly in her cupboards. It's an incredibly old fashioned preserve which is not often seen! Let alone able to buy in the shops!! Rose Petal Jam has a very unusual but pleasant taste. For best effect you should choose deep red, heavily-scented roses (damask roses are perfect). Just remember the color of the petals will be the colour of the jam. Some rose...

...Burberry checks around the bottom of the bottle and weekend scrawled across the bottle. There is no probs with application and comes out in nice easy squirts.

Review of Burberry Weekend Burberry

  Baksheesh, rose petals, dreams and mysteries.

Advantages: A truly wonderful experience
Disadvantages: Maybe a dodgy tummy.

...member per holiday maker. Our man never failed to amaze me with his wonderful skills with towel folding, Day after day there was a little treat on the bed, rose petals, a towel tied up to look like my husband with a cigarette in it?s mouth. It was all good fun. The boat had a small swimming pool on the top deck; there was only one child on board, not a holiday recommended for children. On one side of the Nile is lush green, little houses, camels and fishermen trying to catch their food, the other side a complete comparison of yellow sand and barren land. It was incredible. At the end of the holiday I left all my cosmetics, shampoo, conditioner, body lotions, nail varnish remover, wipes, for him as they are so hard to get in Egypt and I knew he was going back to his wife and family when we left, as the boat was closing down due to...

Review of Nile cruises

remember summer rose petals

Advantages: feminine without being sickly and girly
Disadvantages: spray nozzle slips a little

...? Is it the alkaline in your skin, your body temperature? I don?t know. Maybe someone can help me here. The odour is a light touch of femininity, without smelling too girly and old-fashioned. I can detect what to me seems like garden rose petals (like the tinctures I used to make as a child in the garden) but the perfume is still young and fresh enough to wear for work. I find the packaging pleasing on the eye - it?s smooth surfaces and oval shape - and it feels like a pleasing beach pebble in my hand. Also, unlike a lot of perfumes nowadays, I can slip it into my handbag and take it to work without it sticking awkwardly through the bag or out of the top. I must admit this is often a reason I decide not to buy a perfume. I know I could get an atomizer but I can?t be bothered with filling it up and trying to get rid of the old perfume...
