Advantages: Unique Smell, leaves you cool and refreshed Disadvantages: Not moisturising enough. Quite Pricey.Bottle wont last long.
...On a recent shopping trip, I purchases a trial size (125ml) bottle of Te Tao body wash for £1.25. Anyway, before I go into the pro?s and con?s, one simple question: Would I by this product again? Answer: Yes
The body wash contains many natural ingredients. The two main ingredients are Chinese angelica, and green tea. The green tea is added to smooth and soften, and to leave a layer on the skin to protect from pollutants. The angelica is an ancient remedy for sluggish circulation flow, so it has a refreshing and revitalising properties. Other ingredients include ginger, cinnamon and sunflower oil.
So as you can see, the emphasis is on natural ingredients. This isn?t a surprise, as the Te Tao range are made by Kaun. Kaun was created in 1998 by four women who were inspired by holistic and herbal medicine
The product comes in clear...
Advantages: Good colour and texture, smells lovely, enhances colour Disadvantages: Expensive for what it does
...Seeing as my hair is now at the stage where it needs a complete rest from dyeing, I have been on the lookout for alternative ways of keeping my red colour a little bit longer. Therefore, when I saw The Big W had a sale on recently, I was happy to snap up this product for half price. (Expect to pay between £3 and £4 for a 250ml bottle normally.)
Te Tao has been a well-known range for quite a while now, but it wasn’t one I had ever tried, feeling the products were rather over-priced. They do a range of shampoos for various hair types (see www.tetao.com for further details) but this one caught my eye because it is a deep, dark orange-red colour and had the word ‘henna’ in it. As you probably know, henna has been used for centuries to dye hair in a more natural way than using bleaches and chemicals.
The full name...
Advantages: Excellent highly defined display. Good for the price. Disadvantages: Can develop faults over time.
...Earlier this year, lacking the funds for a fancy flat screen TFT or LCD monitor to replace my 4 year old Dell monitor I decided to opt for the Relisys TE 770 model CRT model. Having never even heard of the brand name before, I was rather skeptical.
My sole reason for buying the TE 770 was that it was the only black monitor currently on offer in the shop, put simply I wanted my new monitor to compliment my other hardware components.
Setting the model up was quite easy, a power cable is supplied with the monitor, though you may need some help from another person when lifting the monitor onto a desk or workspace.
You do need to plug in two leads, the monitor's input cable, and the power cable. The input cable must be slotted into the American style 3 - pin slot in the back of your tower/ flat case unit.
The power cable has two ends...

Review of Relisys TE 770
Advantages: Great information book for young children Disadvantages: None
...This is a great non-fiction children's book which I have used with Reception aged children (4-5 year olds).
~ Style and Format ~
The book is a board book, thicker than usual pages that are great for little hands and for those of us buying the books as it is far more difficult for any little rips or tears in the pages to take place!
The book is full of great coloured photographs of children, with clear labels as to the different parts of the human body. It also contains questions for the reader to ponder and answer.
It has double page spreads and is full of information aimed at young children.
~ Content ~
The book begins with a double page spread, front photo and back photo of a young boy. The face, back, elbow, thigh, knee, leg etc are all clearly labelled.
The next focus is on the 'skin and bones'. It introduces...
Advantages: long-lasting moisturiser with an agreeable smell Disadvantages: doesn't produce giggles
...I needed new body lotion and decided to try a new brand. My eyes were wandering along the shelves at the chemist?s and came to a halt at the NIVEA section. This was due to the shape of the bottle the NIVEA designer(s) had created: the upper part of the right side is slightly curved in (see piccie at the top of the site). The bottle looks elegant and cries out to the consumer, ?Grab me!?, at least to the right handers among them.
I looked closer to find the right skin type and discovered ?normal to dry skin?, just what I need. Under the name of the product NIVEA Body Lotion Happy Time half a slice of orange is depicted lying in some white sloshy stuff - obviously the body lotion - and underneath stand the words ?Feel-Good Sensation? and Bamboo Extracts.
Bamboo! This must be one versatile plant. We?ve got a bush in our garden, I...
Advantages: Rich and creamy, quality product Disadvantages: Smell not for everyone
...The Sanctuary Body Butter.
The Sanctuary began as a Spa in Covent Garden over 30 years ago. Their philosophy is all about providing the time, space and expertise for women to renew that glow. I've never been to the Spa but friends have been and they do say that it is a wonderful experience and definitely a very upmarket product.
The Sanctuary beauty products were produced in 1998. Customers had been wanting to take the spa experience home with them without needing a therapist or special equipment so they came up with the idea of selling their products. Apparently they are only sold exclusively at Boots and of course you can buy them in the spa's themselves. I've always liked the look of the products as I think they have quite an expensive, quality look about them. I have used the foaming bath soak for quite a while but this is...
Advantages: Great scent, moisturising Disadvantages: Pricey, does not absorb easily
...I actually received thhis product as a present in part of a gift set, with a bottle of the perfume and a shimmer stick pulse point perfume. I really love the fragrance of the perfume, quite floral and woody (lotus blossom, liquid amber, black orchid and mahogany wood) and very distinctive. I was interested to see how this translated into a body lotion.
The bottle itself if made of pretty thick plastic (it's quite hard to squeze the product out) and opens to a capped end with a small hole in - much like sun lotions. The cream is pretty thick and smells quite strongly of the euphoria scent. On application, the product goes quite a long way and not a lot is needed. However, I found that it did not absorb very easily into the skin and needed quite a bit of rubbing in. Once it had been absorbed, my skin felt soft and smelt great...
Advantages: Fun, educational, entertaining, hands on Disadvantages: Very big (can't see it all), can't take pictures of exhibits
...Te Papa Tongarewa museum ("Te Papa" or "Our Place" for short) is New Zealand's national museum and is right in the heart of Wellington next to the docks. If you only have time to visit one thing in Wellington, visit Te Papa. Many of the collections are online, so if you can't make it all the way to New Zealand, then have a look at the web pages instead. Originally dating from 1992 (or 1998 for the present incarnation in its iconic building), this is a modern museum suitable for children and adults alike and the exhibits are fun and often interactive, whilst still being educational.
Most of the exhibitions are free, but you pay if you want to go on a guided tour. Lifts going to every floor help with accessibility and are useful for everyone - the museum goes up to floor level 7, so we were quite worn out by the end of our trip...
Advantages: Smells lovely, responsibly produced, works well Disadvantages: A bit expensive at full price
...A few years ago a friend of mine bought me a gift set from The Body Shop for Christmas and amongst the items contained therein was a pot of body butter. I really wasn?t expecting to like it at all; from the term ?body butter? I expected it to be really greasy and oily. I was quite wrong and have been hooked ever since!
The one I am currently using is the Satsuma Body Butter which normally retails at £12.20 for a pot containing 200ml although there is an offer on at the moment reducing the price by 20% so it is only £9.76. If you do like Body Shop products it is worth keeping your eyes open during the year as they often have special offers so it is worth stocking up when things are cheaper.
If you are a regular customer it is also worth investing in their reward card. It costs £5 per year but you get a free gift worth £5 on your...
Advantages: does what it says, smells lovely Disadvantages: slightly expensive.
...For as long as I can remember I have been using Head and Shoulders shampoo as I suffer with a dry flaky scalp. This works well, but recently my hairdresser advised me not to use it as often as I do as it was to harsh for me.
So over the last week or so I have been searching for a shampoo that wouldn't be has harsh but still gave me the effect of my usual shampoo.
I spent ages looking on the shelves and spotted a shampoo that I had seen a while back but never bothered with as I didn't know much about it.
WHAT IS IT CALLED?
TE TAO (chinese herbal therapy) TEA FOR HAIR
This shampoo gently cleanses your hair and regulates dry scalp, so it seemed ideal for what I needed from a shampoo. It contains mild chrysanthemum, lycium berries and eclipta.
It cost me £2.99 for a 250ml/8.4floz bottle. This was from Tesco.
I started...
