Santa Rosa - the perfect place to relax

Advantages: Warm, sunny, no insects, great local restaurants
Disadvantages: hotel food - apparently

...Review of Hotel Santa Rosa, Costa Teguise The country - and the weather!! Firstly, to set the scene i'll give a short introduction to the country, and of course, more importantly, the weather!.....Lanzarote is one of the hugely popular canary islands, and one of my favourite holiday destinations. Although part of Spain, Lanzarote sits close to the North of Africa and because of this, benefits from the heat of the mainland. Having said that, since its a fairly small island, theres quite often a fair breeze flowing through the country, but dont let that put you off, its a welcome breeze in the summer heat and means that the island has very few annoying insects which is a definite plus! All this together means Lanzarote enjoys a favourable climate all year round, with summer temperatures not too hot, and mild winters. In...

Review of Santa Rosa, Costa Teguise

Weleda Citrus Deodorant. I assume the Swiss dont shave!!! :D

Advantages: Organic, smells lovely, removes household odours in seconds.
Disadvantages: It stings like nettles!! Expensive but worth the money as an airfreshener.

...Here I go with my sister again. On her selling her organic produce shop I was given a bottle of Weleda citrus deodorant. Nice box, basic pump spray bottle containing 100mls of clear liquid. No instructions that I recall!! I jumped out of the bath, dried and reached for the weleda squirted a good few sprays under my arms and started to dress. Within minutes I started to tingle, then I was hot, then I was very hot, no more tingling, this was as if I'd rubbed nettles under my arms, I was stinging, badly, and I'm now beginning to pour with sweat. Panic stricken and shreiking audibly much to the amusement of my son who by now has rounded up his big sis to, 'come look at mum', both roaring with laughing at my ungracious attempts to remove with wet towels, what by now, I had decided, was lavatory deodorant. Ranting like a maniac with a bath...

A mad love album by Robi rosa.

Advantages: Greats to listen to when in a romantic moods!
Disadvantages: Don't listens to it if you just been dump!

...Robi Rosa, Robi Rosa. Now that name does sound familer. Ah yes! He the guy behind the massive hits of 1999 with some latin guy name Ricky Martin and 'livin la vida loca'. Wheather or not if you are a fan of the 'loca' crazy of 1999 you cannot escape and help notice the pure talents behind that song. And yes Robi Rosa was the guy! He now quit writing with his old mate to record for his own albums. Mad love i believes to be 3 years in the making and this is a pure albums of love ballard and heartfelt rock songs written from the heart. This album is dedicated to his wife 'Angela'. The First track of the albums is 'dancing in the rains'. Now i leave it to your imagination to where he going with this song but It a smooth jazzy songs that you would put on after you puts the kids to bed. The emotions and feeling he puts in this songs can...

Review of Mad Love (+DVD) - Robi Draco Rosa

A Rose by Any Other Name

Advantages: Scent, flowers, foliage, prickly.
Disadvantages: Prickly!

...You may think of single red ones. You will certainly think of large-flowered, carefully manicured ones. You will probably think of powerfully scented, old fashioned rambling ones. And rightly so, for these cultivated roses well deserve their prime spot in our gardens. But this is a big family, and I would like to draw your attention to some which rarely make the limelight. The breakdown of this category inspired me to this. The Hybrid Teas are listed, along with Floribundas, Patio Roses, etc. Then there’s this topic – Rosa. Being the botanical name, all varieties really fall under this heading. So I reckon, in these circumstances, for “Rosa”, read “The Rest”. ROSA RUGOSA Sometimes known as the Ramanas Rose, Rosa rugosa is widely planted as hedging. It can grow up to 1.5 or 2m high...

Review of Rosa

Rosa gallica officinalis

Advantages: an enjoyable historical mystery
Disadvantages: makes you want to read the sequels

...Believed to have been brought to this country by Knights returning from the Crusades, Rosa gallica officinalis is more commonly known as the Apothecary Rose. Growing wild in central Asia it was first cultivated by the ancient Persians and Egyptians, and later by the Greeks and the Romans who acknowledged its medicinal properties. ~~0~~0~~ ~~0~~0~~ The species name officinalis was adopted in the eighteenth century 'after' Linnaeus, and refers to this medicinal use and derived from the Latin word opificina (herb store or pharmacy). This red rose has many uses in the home, in medicine and cosmetics. The dried petals retain their scent in pot pourri. When freshly harvested rose petals are crushed they produce a mere litre of oil per 5,000 kg of petals. This oil is used in many perfumes including Chanel No 5. Aromatherapists use...

Review of Weleda Creamy Citrus Body Wash

I was talking to preachy preach about kissy kiss

Advantages: Best album by a brilliant band
Disadvantages: One or two vocal growls and barks too many

...Album: Surfer Rosa Artist: The Pixies Released: 1988 Producer: Steve Albini Label: 4AD Vocals/Guitar ? Black Francis Guitar ? Joey Santiago Bass/Vocals ? Kim Deal (credited here as Mrs John Murphy) Drums ? Dave Lovering TITLE OF REVIEW: I Was Talking To Preachy Preach About Kissy Kiss As part of my punk trilogy of music reviews, I decided I would write about at least one American punk band. It just so happened that the album I settled on ? Surfer Rosa ? influenced more 90s alternative rock bands than any other American indie/punk release I can think of. The Pixies are often described as an indie rock outfit, and I?ve seen some reviewers describe them as indie pop. However anyone who was had even a cursory listen to ?Come on Pilgrim? (1987) and especially ?Surfer Rosa? (1988), would have a different...

Review of Surfer Rosa - Pixies

ROOM IN THE INN IN RIMINI

Advantages: GREAT LOCATION NEAR THE BEACH
Disadvantages: RIMINI

...Rimini is not my idea of a perfect destination in Italy, but it's close to San Marino, which isn't a perfect destination in Italy either when you come to think of it. Anyway, Rimini worked out fine for us last year as we wanted to visit San Marino and the choice of hotels was so much better. That's why we went there - now for where we went there. We opted for the Ramada Villa Rosa, mainly for the location it has to be said, but also because it looked a half decent hotel at a half decent price (80 euros). The location couldn't be any better. It's 5 minutes from the historic town centre, sits right on the main drag just across the road from the beach and surrounded by bars and restaurants. We weren't really there for the beach, the historic town centre wasn't up to much but the bars and restaurants held a little more appeal...

Review of Ramada Villa Rosa, Rimini

Luscious Lips

Advantages: has everything a perfect lip salve should have
Disadvantages: maybe the GB price

...Are you hooked on lip salve or do you know anyone who is? I'm not but I know people who are, they use lip salve because their lips are dry, they feel fine after applying the stuff but only for a short time, the lip salve creates exactly the sensation they experienced before using it. A product creating its own demand is certainly clever from the salespeople's point of view but not what a customer dreams of. There are brands on the market that are not addictive but they're too soft and consumed too quickly and thus too expensive, not good either. All this cannot be said about Everon, the lip salve from Weleda, a firm founded in Switzerland more than 80 years ago operating now on all five continents. There are at present 20 associated companies the largest of which is located in the small town of Schwäbisch-Gmünd, Germany, which is...
