The greatest show on Earth......on DVD!

Advantages: Can see the show if you can't afford a show ticket
Disadvantages: Not quite as good as being in the theatre itself!

...I am a huge fan of the Cirque Du Soleil shows and have been lucky enough to win tickets to two of the shows. The last time I won tickets I couldn't actually go on the night they offered me the VIP package so they advised they could offer me two seats in the best section instead and they would send me a few bits of merchandise to make up for not being able to enjoy the VIP package. One of these items was the DVD of the show. I didn't actually watch it until recently as I completely forgot they had given it to me as when it had arrived in the post I had simply put it on my shelf to watch after seeing the real thing! Directed by Nick Morris this DVD is the full show of Varekai. It was filmed back in 2003 and was during a performance at the Grand Chapiteau in Toronto. The show: The show is quite hard to describe really as in...

Review of CIRQUE DU SOLEIL - VAREKAI (DVD)

Le Cervin Plange Soleil France Odlays Residence

Advantages: Ski to/from door, close to centre, smal village quiet, parking
Disadvantages: Tatty, tired, basic no frills.

...This review is on Le Cervin Apartments in Plagne Soleil at 2050M in the resort of La Plagne French Alpes. I am also going to review the whole area of La Plagne in a different review as I think it will be to long to put both together. In the other review I will price items and talk about areas other than Plagne Soleil. Well where to start, oh yes. I must say it was not our accommodation of choice so forgive me for the negatives but we were supposed to have a fully catered for chalet in Plagne Centre. Le Cervin as I have already mentioned is in the resort of La Plagne in France which is made up of 7 varying sized areas. The Cervin is partly private and partly public available block, when I say this I mean that some are run by Odlays and others are privately owned all in the same block. There are about 100 rooms in the block. The north...

Review of Odalys Residence Le Cervin, La Plagne

Tan in a Flash

Advantages: Good even tan, (if applied evenly!).
Disadvantages: Cost

...Now, if you have read my some of my travel opinions you will be well aware that I like to travel. I am therefore always on the look out for a decent self-tan as I do not like to use sun beds. I recently saw on the net, an advert for Lancôme?s website so with the lure of a free sample or two I went to investigate. Surprise, surprise a free 5mls sample of Lancôme New Soleil Flash Bronzer Face Cream (golden) was being offered. I hate looking pale and pasty, so this sample was put to good use, as I have very pale skin. I just had to have one. Well the sample was free! I filled in the registration form and waited for the postman to arrive. Within a couple of days my free sample dropped on to the doormat and I hurried up to the bathroom to try it on my face. (Well as fast as I could on crutches). **How to Use** 1) The lotion is...

Had A NUXE Of Plain Moisturisers?

Advantages: It's A Moisturizer,Protector, Tan Activator & Self Tan Effect All-In-One!
Disadvantages: Costly

...~~ NUXE (Paris) Soleil Prodigieux *8* Multi-Puropse Cream ~~ = 50ml tube. I have seen this in Boots. I was lucky enough to have been given this unusual face and neck cream. With nothing to loose, I thought I would give it a go! *Packaging* The box that this cream comes in in a distinctive bronze/gold colour. At the top of the rectangular box is a green tree with the word NUXE written underneath it in white writing with a green background. Underneath the tree in dark brown are the words Soleil Prodigieux, then underneath that there is a white number 8 (IP/SPF), followed by the discription of the cream below. The box also states that the effectiveness tests are conducted under dermatological supervision and with no mineral oils. Nuxe is nature-derived formulas in...

VareKai - this show should go on and on!

Advantages: Exciting, unusual, family show
Disadvantages: None

...Varekai is another superb Cirque Du Soleil masterpiece. I took my family to this show in the Royal Albert Hall (Grandparents, Parents and kids aged 12 and 8) and they all thoroughly enjoyed the show. The show runs in London until 10th February so book now if you want to see something quite different but spectacular. For people who have never been to one of Cirque's performances it is difficult to describe so here goes! Varekai is a beautiful combination of music, dance, comedy, trapeze acts and unusual "flying" men! Think of it as a very modern day circus style show with amazingly talented performers in breathtaking costumes with a specific theme throughout. The set design is fantastic and based on the inside of a forest. The forest is made up of vertical bamboo sticks which soar into the Royal Albert's dome. The stage comes...

Review of Varekai - Cirque Du Soleil

No it doesn't

Advantages: If you want to look like a tiger
Disadvantages: Indelible stripes

...Sorry about the title but the last opinion on Cap Soleil said "It works", well I beg to differ. The Hydra-Bronze Self tanning Lotion Face and Body does not do the job satisfactorily. I bought this because I am a long time customer of Yves Rocher. I have my favourites and I like getting big parcels of girly stuff every month. It isn't exactly Lancome but it'll do me. This product however won't. I bought it because my perennially milk-bottle white legs were playing on my mind. I thought maybe I should try a fake tan for once - just to see. Big mistake. Post shower, I shook the bootle and I applied this seemingly benign white liquid from the squeezable container to my legs. I spread it thinly as directed. Washed my hands. Didn't squirt it in my eyes or at my child and did not immediatlely scrub/exfoliate my legs. Instead I...

Golden brown straight from the can!

Advantages: Gives a nice natural looking colour to the skin
Disadvantages: Is a bit smelly

...-tanning products Lancome Soleil Flash Bronzer Self-Tanning Magic Mousse. Lancome is a French cosmetics company that makes high quality products including skincare, make up, perfume, self tanning and body care items. They are a popular brand launched in 1935 with five fragrances they then branched out into skincare with the launch of Nutrix a product which still has the same formula today. They then launched the Oceane line in 1955 which contained ultra-pure enriched with algae seaweed and trace elements. The Soleil line was launched many years later in 1997 and has become a popular choice for consumers. I first stumbled across this range when I bought a couple of items from it at my local car boot (yes more car boot bargains) I paid £2 for this orangey bronze coloured tin - much less than it retails for in the shops. I was hoping that as this item...

Hair that smells like the Sun!

Advantages: Clean fresh smelling, not heavy, good for fine hair as doesn't weigh it down
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...product - Kerastase Soleil Gelee Fraiche which is basically a light moisturising conditioner for use during and after you've been on holiday and your hair has been subjected to sunny conditions. I was most suprised (and pleased) to find it was a full sized item weighing at 150ml and that it was worth £12.95, not bad for a freebie! The product which contains ceramide and moisturising agents and claims to help replenish dry colour-treated hair exposed to the sun. It came in a lovely reddy orange coloured tub with a screw top lid, it had various writing in different languages on the pot, some of the writing was really tiny and very difficult to read (especially the ingredients). I decided to use it as an intensive conditioner, even though I hadn't been on holiday I don't think it really mattered my hair was feeling pretty dry and this...

Cause You're Worth It - If You Can Afford It

Advantages: Leaves hair soft and refreshed
Disadvantages: expensive

...set of products from L'Oreal which look after your hair, and there are various different ranges within Kerastase itself the Soleil one being for use after you have been exposed to the sun, salt water or chlorine. This one in particular being for coloured hair. Well I haven't been in salt water or been swimming lately but my hair did get a bit of sun when we were in Yarmouth a couple of weeks ago (please don't laugh - it's true) and as it had gone extremely dry with the hard water down there after just recently colouring it, this couldn't have arrived at a better time - It was waiting on my inner doormat when I arrived home. Well as I say my hair felt dry and in need of serious tender loving care so I was really excited to try this product as it is meant to remove all residues and leave your hair soft and shiny. It is also supposed to...
