Snow in Southern India? No kidding

Advantages: Unique - and that's not an exageration
Disadvantages: A Health and Safety Officer's worst nightmare

...Can you remember the first time you saw snow? As we sit here in the UK, surrounded by snow and enduring the longest cold-spell in almost 30 years, it would be easy to forget how exciting snow used to be when we were young. It's one of those growing-up things, I suppose; you hit an age at which snow stops meaning fun and days off school and starts representing power cuts, hours of digging out the driveway and treacherous journeys sliding around the roads. I struggle to remember how it must have felt to see snow for the first time ? or at least I did until we went to Snow World in Hyderabad, India. A couple of days earlier our driver had asked us ? a propos of absolutely nothing we assumed ? had we ever seen snow. 'Of course' we said ? most years there's a bit, not usually very much and it causes total chaos. We thought no more...

The Snow Fairy is coming

Advantages: Fun, girly, sparkly
Disadvantages: Too sweet for me

...It's nearly Christmas and the snow fairy is coming!! I have read about Lush Snow Fairy shower gel on this site for quite a few years now and how people rave about it so this year I decided to try it for myself. Lush is a handmade cosmetics company. The first Lush store was opened in 1994 by husband and wife team Mark and Mo Constantin. There are more than 600 stores in 43 countries.

The Scent of Snow? No!

Advantages: Pretty glass jar with snowflake print is seasonal and ideal for a decorated living room
Disadvantages: Smell not really what they claim, burns faster than suggested, after scent can be pungent

...It?s not often I will burn candles in the house ? I have a terrible fear of fire and have sadly read of too many house fires caused by candles, but now and again I do like to have a scented candle burning and I like candles in particular at Christmas. I spied in Morrisons last week Glade scented candles on offer for £1.46, which seemed reasonable to me, so I picked up a ?Glistening Snow? candle to burn beside my Christmas tree in the evenings. The Candle What drew me towards this candle was, I will admit, the winter theme. Packaged in an attractive blue and white box, the candle sits inside a glass jar which has snowflakes printed upon it. The candle wax matches the blue on the box. I have had scented candles in the past which sit on a little glass holder and these terrified me - I far prefer these glass jars as they feel...

Calling All Snow Fairies...

Advantages: Smell, Smoothes Skin, Generally Amazing!
Disadvantages: Only Available At Christmas! x

...bought for me every year without fail, and boy do I look forward to it... Little Bit Of Background... Snow Fairy is sort of like Lush?s signature product (now signature scent, more about that later) at Christmas, it appears every year without fail and if Lush ever discontinue it they would have many angry customers to deal with. Snow Fairy is known for its pinkness, sweetness and girliness and me and my friends have to stock up with many of the large bottles to enable it to last all year round. I am literally on my last little drop of it now, and it is treasured, so I need to head off to my local Lush to get some more! Snow Fairy has been around for years, and I predict it will be around for many more... It was invented by Mark Constantine and Mo?s (the founder?s of Lush) daughter, Claire Constantine, when she was fifteen. She made it...

Review of The Snow Queen (DVD)

A nice tale of snow and dogs!

Advantages: Fun family Disney film
Disadvantages: Nothing special

...Snow Dogs is one of those cheesy Disney family movies that you can't help liking. It was released in 2002 and stars Cuba Gooding Jr, who had recently broken into the main casting scene on the big screen. The film is essentially a poignant comedy which features some clever special effects work and that traditional addition of classic Disney family movies: animals! Dr Ted Brooks is a successful dentist who hates dogs. When he finds out he has inherited some property including a team of sled dogs, he dons his winter wear and heads to collect his new property and tries his best to fit into his new surroundings. He soon finds this hard as everyone judges him, and he must adapt to earn the respect of his new neighbours, some new enemies, and hardest of all: the dogs! Cuba Gooding Jr gives a very cheesy performance as the black dentist...

Review of Cadbury Snow Bites

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

Advantages: aroma, brand, price, attractive
Disadvantages: /

...When I was younger I used to be terrified of candles. I have a phobia of fire *shudders* and I am incredibly paranoid when it comes to making sure sockets are switched off. I cannot use the cooker and I only recently have been able to watch television at night now. Though oddly I can now light candles, despite everything else. And when I saw an advert for the new Christmas collection of candles from Glade, I was instantly attracted to them. So off I rushed out to the shops to see what I could find, and there on the shelf in Tesco among the air fresheners was a collection of Christmas candles. Straight away I knew the one I wanted! The candle I decided to go for was the Glistening Snow candle. I think the fact that it caught my attention was largely down that the packaging. The others were all reds and greens, but this one was an ice...

Review of Glade Glistening Snow candle

Glade Glistening Snow Candle

Advantages: A really good quality candle that smells wonderful
Disadvantages: None that I have found

...My partner is a smoker and we have recently acquired a dog so as I am sure you can imagine our home doesn?t always smell the best, which worries me slightly! I stock up well on air fresheners, odour eliminating products and now scented candles after a recommendation from a friend to try them. I have brought many different scented candles in the past, but I was recommended to try Glade candles as Glade are a leading expert in air fresheners and odour eaters so I brought a couple in. There are many different fragrances to choose from in the range, but this week I opted for the Glade Glistening Snow candle as I wanted a Christmassy candle and I saw it was also the product of the week on Ciao so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone!! ~The Product~ Glade scented candles come in a small clear dome shaped holder made of glass...
