I recently wrote about Celeb endorsed perfumes and I wasn’t particularly kind. I would like to retract my comments, I have just had a sniff of Avril Lavigne’s Forbidden Rose.
This will be singer Avril Lavigne’s second perfume. Her first release, Black Star, has won an award for “Best Fragrance” from Cosmetic Executive Women, which is one of the beauty industries biggest honors in the States.
Avril Lavigne’s Forbidden Rose
As a singer, Avril is credible, current and sits comfortably on the rocky edge of mainstream pop.
As a scent, Forbidden Rose is also very credible and current. Mysterious and magical, Forbidden Rose introduces a feminine composition of floral, woody and foamy fruity essences.
The scent features juicy Top Notes of Red Apple, White Peach, and Bourbon Pepper, fused with deep Heart Notes of Lotus Flower, Apple Blossom and Heliotrope.
Forbidden Rose is all about pushing the boundaries and searching outside your comfort zone to discover who you are.
The bottle is very Avril. It features an Avril Lavigne barbed wire ring with a pretty rose black cap and cute and chic faceted bottle.
Celeb scents, All is forgiven! Forbidden Rose is a wonderful, youthful fragrance.
Forbidden Rose is available now at The Perfume Shop in an EDP Spray 30ml TPS Price £19.50, EDP Spray 50ml TPS Price £26.50 and EDP Spray 100ml TPS Price £36.50.
Being able to design and personalise your own jewellery really is a fantastic idea. But many of us have no idea how to do it! So, with thanks to jewellery personalised, you can in fact make this happen. Just imagine how impressed your friends would be, showing up on a girls night out with your very own necklace you have created yourself. It will be unique, and you can guarantee that nobody else in town will have it – fantastic!
Or, if you don’t want to design a piece of jewellery yourself, then why not choose from the amazing selection that Jewellery Personalised have available on-line. There is a vast range of classic charms and dog tags, of which can be engraved with the name, word, and date (or all 3 them) of your choice. You could even add your birthstone to your piece, adding that splash of colour and even more uniqueness to it. Choose from pendants (from £22), Bracelets (from £25), and add charms (from £12). All the jewellery is indeed classy and elegant, incredibly well designed and just stunning.
Whatever celebration you are buying a gift for, Jewellery Personalised will have that something extra special. There are charms to fit any occasion, be it a birthday, anniversary, Valentines Day, a wedding or a new baby. Or even, pet love, young love, old love, peace and love, flower and hearts – there really is a lot of variety, something for everyone. All you need to do to make it more personal is to add you own fine details! Choose from 9 carat yellow gold or sterling silver, whichever one suits your style, and your budget! This is the best personalised jewellery UK has to offer in my eyes.
What I love about Jewellery Personalised is that they deliver perfect and precious pendants at manufacturer’s prices! Now that sounds good, doesn’t it? No big expensive shop, just great quality personalised products for unbelievable prices. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t like that sound of that!

Being an Irish lass myself, I just love my potatoes (or as we call them, spuds!). I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love a good old helping of mashed potatoes with dinner, apart from my 5 year old son of course! The problem with mashed potato though, one that really puts me off, is when you get lumpy mash – yuck. Nothing better for ruining your Sunday lunch.
So for the best quality mash you could make in the comfort of your own kitchen, why not try out OXO’s stylish stainless steel Potato Ricer. This is my new best friend in the kitchen! I love it, and can’t actually believe I have lasted so long without one. It literally transforms lumpy potatoes into creamy, delicious mash with one simple little press.
This Kitchen Potato Utensil is so easy to use. Simply hold over a bowl, fill with cooked potatoes and squeeze through. The non-slip handles helps absorb the pressure as you squeeze, which in turn will save you time and the strain of mashing (not to mention the dead arm syndrome after).
Don’t think that you can use this just for potatoes; why not mash your turnips or carrots this way. Or better still, purée your little ones food with it. You really will find a lot of uses for it.
OXO state:-
“If the thought of all that mashing deters you, try a ricer instead to save you time and energy in the kitchen. There’s no doubt that some mashers could do the job admirably, but for a professional result that makes you look more like Heston than Delia, the ricer wins hands down. Just one quick squeeze and you have a bowl of steaming, delicious mash for everyone to enjoy.”
The OXO Ricer costs a well spent £24, and the whole range is widely available through a selection of national retailers, or visit http://www.oxo.com.
