The Shampoo Shop

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:16:54 +0000

Salon-beautiful hair at home? Yes, despite the unconvincing nature of those badly-dubbed TV ads, it really is possible. The Shampoo Shop stocks the best-known salon haircare products and delivers them directly to your door, meaning that if you’re having a bad hair day help is just a click away. Better still, the site has a ‘Hair Doctor’ function that helps you to choose which products are going to be most suitable for your needs and hair type. There’s even a Tips and Tricks section with videos detailing how to get the look you want. ‘Staff Pick’ products are recommended by site employees and used in their own salons, or at home by their clients. Vouchers for a free cut and finish are also available. Although they are in a minority, there are a few man-friendly gifts on the site too.

Cartoon Network

admin — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 09:41:46 +0000

You may know nothing about TVs shows like Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends or Ben 10 (who, thanks to a device he found, can transform into ten different alien life-forms) but plenty of kids do. They may sound wacky but really it’s not that strange when you consider many adults are obsessed with The Archers.

Whatever your thoughts on children’s telly, rest assured that cartoon buddies occupy a significant proportion of most children’s waking hours, whether watching them live on TV, discussing them with friends or re-enacting their finer moments in the playground. So if you want to keep up with the kids, visit Cartoon Network’s website and pick up some merchandise featuring every child’s animated role models.

Peony Direct

admin — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:37:35 +0000

There is surely not a room in the world that wouldn’t seem brighter, lighter and generally nicer to be in thanks to the presence of a bunch of flowers. Many of us however, struggle with the reality that they will wilt within a few days, soon to resemble a sad, saggy lump of foliage.

Peony Direct have a solution to the age-old problem of premature expiration: beautiful, realistic silk flowers, in small bunches or extravagant bouquets, skilfully created and arranged. It’s not just peonies either; you can find all your floral favourites here, from roses and orchids to lilies and sunflowers, arranged in an attractive hand-thrown terracotta jug.
