Bliss, Dry Towels.

Advantages: Good for a compact bathroom
Disadvantages: I dont think that there are any !

...We often have a good grumble about the amount of junk mail and flyers that come through the letterbox and if the Betterware representative is delivering his catalogues then that can be like a red rag to a bull. Betterware do have some good ideas but I get so annoyed because the rep expects you to leave the catalogue outside of the door for him to collect within the next couple of days. I just feel that anything left outside of the front door signals that you may not be at home or you could even be away on holiday, so more often than not I end up in hot pursuit of the Betterware representative as he makes his way down the road. Overdoor towel rails, not the most exciting product in the world but certainly a very useful thing to have. Our bathroom is compact, we have no room for a free standing towel rail or even a wall mounted...

Review of Betterware Overdoor Towel Rail

They Wash Like A Rag

Advantages: An inexpensive tea towel that does the job
Disadvantages: Nothing major

...For some unknown reason I have a tea towel fetish,the amount of times that I have been browsing around our local Wilkinson's store and have found a pack of tea towels irresistible is no odds to nobody. Cotton or terry towelling, either or will do and more often than not I will pick the paler colours with the spots or stripes that seem to be very fashionable lately. These Betterware tea towels caught my eye for one reason, they were well priced at £4.99 for a pack of five. I only had one gripe, they were all the same design. The tea towels are 70 x 40 cms, an average size and they are 100% cotton. The background is a plain white cotton and they have overlaid red and orange stripes that form squares. At £1 each I was not expecting miracles, hold one of the tea towels up to the light and you can see that they are fairly thin. But...

A Tea Lover's Tea

Advantages: A proper cuppa without having to go "the distance" to the UK for a resupply
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...I've long been a lover of British teas. Whenever I come back home from that "small island," it's a sure bet my luggage will contain a restock on my standard favorites that are either hard to find or unavailable here in the States. There is, however, one brand among my favorites for which this is not a problem--Twinings. Twinings is easy to find on the shelves of our American supermarkets. As a result, Twinings English Breakfast Tea always has a place in my cupboard. **My Relationship with Tea in General** First, honesty requires me to admit that I am far from monogomous where tea is concerned. There are many teas with which I take up a dalliance. And there are a few that are constants in my life. Twinings English Breakfast is one of the latter. It is always there because it produces a good cup of hot, black tea. If I'm to...

Kitchen towel at a smart price!

Advantages: Great price, simple packaging, perforated edges.
Disadvantages: None

...Everyone is looking for ways to save money at the moment and I recently looked at the kitchen towel in my kitchen and decided that I would try something cheaper for a week or two and see how I got on. Each roll has perforations and contains what appears to be a standard amount of kitchen towel. To use a piece I simply roll it out and then pull near the perforations and one piece will break away. I used this kitchen towel for a variety of things such as wiping my hands, cleaning up spillages and even for cleaning the windows. I found them to be absorbent and they didn't break up at all if I used them to do a little bit of scrubbing. Overall I couldn't find much different between these and the better brand. I can use them for all the same purposes and they can even be rung out a few times before they need to be binned. They are also...

Review of Yorkshire Tea

Tea Service

Advantages: kids love it
Disadvantages: none

...My daughter just loves Barbie things, so when Christmas time comes people know just what to buy her. This tea set was one of them things. I am not sure how much it cost when purchased as I am not cheeky enough to ask, but I found one the same one in Toys R Us for £4.99p, so would it be worth the money. Read on to find out. What is included in the tea set? -------------------------------------------- 4 Cups 4 Saucers 4 Tea Spoons 1 Large Tea Pot Milk Jug And a Sugar Pot The design of the Tea Set -------------------------------------- The design is really very basic; the set is all made of plastic, although there is one available in porcelain, which I would not recommend anyway for children. The plastic seems pretty strong, and unbreakable, although I am sure that it could be broke but not very easily. I will say...

Review of Barbie Tea Set

Nice cup of Tea

Advantages: Great cup of tea
Disadvantages: None

...Twinings English Breakfast Tea Packaging The Packaging has a distinctive colours in that it has gold and orange. I found this to be quite eye catching and unique compared to other tea branded products. This makes it unique and recognisable in buying a second time. I also found the product packaging to be quite difficult to open up on the first tab correctly. It is nice to see that the box can be closed for storing the tea bags. On the packaging the box does have Twinings tea company claims of flavour, and other useful information. Regarding the box claim to have traditional tasting tea, this is certainly true as they have taken away the bitter taste of drinking tea. The Tea The tea itself is appealing and deep and rich in colour. It has orangey and brown and has very clear colouring. The taste is strong but mellow...

Tea Time

Advantages: A fantastic tasting tea!
Disadvantages: None

...I am a huge tea drinker. Mornings aren?t right without a cup of tea straight away, one there is always one before bed. Then, as many as I fancy during the day, which can be anything up to 20 or so. I always have enjoyed drinking tea, but since coming to uni, I seem to drink it even more, probably due partially to fact that water here tastes horrible, even with squash, and I cannot afford to live on Pepsi Max. The other thing that has changed at uni, is what I have to spend money on. From buying my own food, to washing, and all those other things which I had previously been able to rely on Mum for, it all added up, and my overdraft was demolished rather too quickly (still waiting for my student loan?) and that left me with my cupboards running bare, as I watched the last pounds drift out of my bank accounts. Then, I remembered back...

Review of Clipper Organic Tea Bags

Tea fixes everything

Advantages: Fresh taste, lovely packaging
Disadvantages: Maybe the price

...I come from a family of tea drinkers and I am a tea drinker through and through. Despite this fact, I used to be quite naive when it came to tea - I just thought tea was tea. I couldn't understand why anyone would pay over the odds when you could buy a value box for a quarter of the price. Oh, how wrong I was! My first encounter with Yorkshire tea came when I was at uni and managed to get my hands on some free samples! Any company that sends out free samples immediately goes up in my estimations! When I tried my first cup I was amazed at how the taste differred to my normal tea. It's a bit difficult to describe but it tastes extremely fresh and clear. When I say that, I mean that it tastes as though the the tea has been filtered and all of the impurities removed. Ever since then Yorkshire tea has always been my brand of choice when it...

Review of Yorkshire Tea

Hooded towels

Advantages: look pretty, usually soft
Disadvantages: expensive, small, pretty useless

...I have fallen into the trap of buying hooded towels for both of my children and each time wondering why I bothered. Basically what they are are very small towels, more like hand towels, with an extra triangle shaped piece of towel sown into one corner in order to make a hood. This time I chose a Mothercare pack of three towels in shades of pink and white. This cost me £12, but if you shop around you can find them slightly cheaper at around £3 per towel, or a lot more expensive like toys r us at £9.99 per towel! I was disapointed with the mothercare ones as while in the pack they look quite thick and soft but upon opening you realise that the thickness comes from layers of cardboard wedged in between each towel! They are thin and not exactly rough but they could be softer. The idea is that you put the hood over the babys head...
