spot on

Advantages: works!
Disadvantages: expensive

...oxy on the spot is definitely spot on when it comes to combatting those zits. I had tries many things in the past but this seems to be the best yet. I may be older and less prone to 'them' now but when I do it zaps the little buggers. It contains an ingredient called benzol peroxide (if I spelt it wrong I know what I mean) which dries them up and really works. It could be due to this ingredient that it is expensive but although it is a small tube don't be alarmed. Unless you smother yourself inch thick in the stuff every night then it will last for a relatively long time-a few months maybe. It may not work for everyone as everyone has a different skin type which will react differently to differently creams. Due to the harsh agent in this cream it could cause irritation, but I found that rather than drying my skin like I would assume...

Review of Where's Spot? - Eric Hill

Spot The Dog!

Advantages: a great book
Disadvantages: none

...Where is Spot? - By Eric Hill I absolutely adored Spot books when I was younger and couldn't wait to pick up some for Jack as it seems he is becoming a right little book worm! Luckily a colleague of mine who has a couple of older children was passing on some books to me and in amongst the piles she gave was a couple of Spot books. Of course I couldn't wait to read them myself let alone get home and share the experience with Jack. The book itself is a board book so the pages are nice and thick and easy for small fingers to turn the pages over to the next one. This book is a lift the flap book so not only is it great fun but it makes the child feel like he is playing a part in the book if it is being read to them. The flaps are not as strong as the thick pages but they seem fairly tough none the less. The main story...

ON THE SPOT TREATMENT FOR SPOTS

Advantages: it works
Disadvantages: very very very expensive for only 20g.

...I, being a long time sufferer of spots, thought that there was no such thing available as a cream that GETS RID of spots. I thought that you could only get the usual 'preventatives' such as Clearasil, and the others. So can you imagine my amazement when I saw 'OXY-ON THE SPOT' in my local Tesco's? Please read on.... ---WHAT IS THE NAME & WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?--- This product is called Oxy On The Spot. It comes in a tube that is about the length of the mouse on your computer (looking for something that you can easily compare the size of it to, thats the best i could do!) The tube is supplied in a silver box, when I say silver, you can almost see your face in this thing. On the box is the words 'OXY' in big pink capital letters, and then in yellow, 'ON THE SPOT' in yellow capitals on a blue background. It is very...

Review of Oxy On The Spot Cream

Hit the spot

Advantages: Minty freshness in one squirt
Disadvantages: Watch it doesn't hit the back of your throat!

...Gold spot Sometimes, it just has to be done?a bit of breath freshening especially after a night out! Sometimes I think that a quick blast with the freshener actually does something to stimulate wakefulness- probably the rush of mint. I had never used this one before, so decided to have a go, and see what it was like ~~WHAT IT DOES~~ This is going to instantly revitalise me with just one quick squirt, so I can be ready at all times to get close up and personal with anyone I want; assuming they want to as well, of course. I like the bit of marketing when it tells me that it will leave my senses soaring, because I am quite sure that after a festive "do", one quick blast of mint won't undo the over excesses of the previous night. ~~PRODUCT AND PACKAGING~~ Inside the box is a rather nifty little black spray bottle...

Review of Gold Spot Mint Blast

Introducing Spot the Dog

Advantages: Interactive, Well Designed, Appealing to Youngsters
Disadvantages: Slightly Expensive, Flaps can Tear Out

..."Where's Spot?" was the first book by freelance illustrator, graphic designer and art director Eric Hill. Hill created Spot as a bedtime story character for his son Christopher, who was born in 1976. In 1980, the book "Where's Spot?" was published for the first time and marked the start of the "baby interaction" publishing concept. "Where's Spot?" was the very first interactive lift-the-flap book of its kind. When it was first published, "Where's Spot?" was a paperback book but it's since progressed to board book to better suit very young children. The 2000 edition is a lovely chunky deep blue board book which is just right for babies and toddlers aged one to three years to hold easily and turn the pages. Each page features a simple caption revolving around Spot's Mum trying to find Spot. For example, page one asks "Is he...

Review of Where's Spot? - Eric Hill

oxy on the spot cream

Advantages: dries the spot up. gits rid of them faster than if you had left it on its own.
Disadvantages: greasy. not always effective!

...There have been numerous occasions where I have woken up and looked in to the mirror only to be faced by a big huge zit! The first instinct is of course to pop it! Bad move! Because when you pop it, the stuff that you see coming out isn’t even half of what is getting squeezed in underneath and being pushed into your skin, and possibly infecting everything under there.....gross I know...but you have to hear all the details…that way those of you who pop your spots will stop doing it! Right, back to the cream. i think it works...sometimes. It dries the spot out and it vanishes a few days later. However there are always some stubborn ones that just wont go. On the whole this cream helps get rid of spots quicker than if you had just left them to go away on their own. But what am I supposed to do with those spots that...

Review of Spot's Treasure Hunt - Eric Hill

Spot on The Farm

Advantages: a great book
Disadvantages: none

...Spot Goes To The Farm - by Eric Hill Everyone must surely be aware of the Spot books Eric Hill first created Spot back in 1980 and the cute dog character has been a firm favourite for pre-school children ever since. I have fond memories of my childhood when these books were pride of place on my bookshelf and today they are pride of place on Jack book shelf. Spot is a cute, chubby and friendly dog that gets up to all sorts of mischief. In this book I am reviewing Spot takes a trip to the farm. This particular book I have is a board book but the same book is available in hardcover with paper pages or indeed soft paper cover with paper pages. The book still costs the same though and that price is £4.99 pence. These books are widely available in every bookstore or they can be found easily online at places such as Amazon...
