Award-winning Somerset based Godminster Vintage has launched a new Valentine’s Cheese and Cake Combo – ideal for the food lovers in your life.  This offers you something a little bit different for Valentines Day.  This delightfully velvety, organic, mature Godminster Cheddar comes to us finished in a heart shaped deep red, jewel-like wax.  And to accompany it is an indulgent fruit cake from The Simply Delicious Fruit Cake Company.  Both together make a fantastic gift.
Godminster Vintage owner, Richard Hollingbery states:-

“We all love giving and receiving food and our deep berry red, heart-shaped cheddar has long been a favourite for those looking for something just that little bit different for Valentine’s Day.  Combine this with a delicious fruit cake and in my book, it’s pretty much spot on – the combination of sweet and savoury is unbeatable.”

It sounds as good as it looks!

Godminster has been producing this delicious, award-winning Vintage Organic Cheddar on its farm in Bruton, Somerset for the last 10 years – and the quality of it is outstanding.  The Cheddar is made to a unique 70 year old recipe and is instantly recognisable by its distinctive deep berry red wax coating and beautiful heart and round shapes.

The new Godminster Vintage Cheddar and Fruit Cake Pack includes a 400g Vintage Cheddar Heart and The New Discovery Fruit Cake, and has a retail price of £26.00.  Other delicious ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day with Godminster include a single 400g heart-shaped cheddar which retails at £14.00, or a cheese and cheeseboard at £35.00.  All prices are inclusive of postage and packing and orders can be placed on the Godminster Vintage website at http://www.organic-cheese.co.uk.

Those who know me will also know how much I adore Build-A-Bear teddies.  Cute, adorable, completely charming and the workshops is something truly amazing to do with your children.

Build-A-Bear Workshop will be spreading a little love this Valentine’s Day by introducing beary cute Valentine’s Day products.  Just take a look at how sweet these are:-

image

Start your loveable furry friendships with Marry Me Read Teddy £15.00, and available for a limited time only is Love Bear £13.50 and Love Bug Bear £13.50.

Either go yourself to make up your unique teddy, or bring your loved one to one of the many workshops in the UK to experience the excitement for themselves.  Build-A-Bear says:

  “As February approaches, Guests can find the perfect gift to cele-bear-ate Valentine’s Day at Build-A-Bear Workshop. Build-A-Bear Workshop provides an experience that the recipient and gift giver can share together, making personalised gifts from the heart to give to loved ones”.

As part of the Build-A-Bear Workshop bear-making experience, each Guest selects a small satin heart – a Build-A-Bear Workshop trademark, adds to it his or hers own love and wishes and carefully places inside their new furry friend.

Upon creating a love-themed bear and reciting the promise to love and adore their new furry friend, Guests are then able to dress their bears in personalised outfits and high fashion. The friendship by no means ends at the store however, as guests can bring new friends to life online at http://www.buildabearville.com, the company’s virtual world. 

I have two young boys who like me, are totally in awe of these teddies.  They had the ultimate experience of building their own bear, and these now live on their beds – and will for a long time to come.  The bears have been admired by many, young and old, and no matter what age the recipient is, they will be sure to love it too.

You can accessorise your bear with many items.  This Valentine’s, your new bear could include any of these:-
• Love Bug Dress (£10.00) 
• Red Bow Purse (£4.50) 
• Heart Fairy (10.00)

I have reviewed the new craze of Zumba Fitness before, and absolutely love it.  Not only do you get the ultimate workout, but you have a great amount of fun whilst doing it.  Zumba classes are getting more and more popular now, with many people wanting to find out what is so ‘good’ about this super new trend, and trust me, they are sure to love it and will most definitely go back for more!

If you are thinking of embarking on a Zumba Class, you will want to have the perfect outfit for doing so.  Something that is incredibly comfortable, but also something that will also make you look great is a must for your new fitness experience; so the perfect outfit has got to be ‘Zumba Clothing’. The clothing you wear should make you feel attractive and enhance your body image and appearance. You know you will work out better if you feel good doing it!  However, your clothes should fit comfortably and allow you to move with plenty of freedom - especially for a Zumba dance workout class.

Zumbawear is not only fashionable, but very practical and extremely comfy to wear.  With the Zumbawear, doing your next dance move will be easy.  There are many lines of Zumba clothing available today. They come in a variety of colours, styles and sizes (from xs-xxl).  From cargo pants to Hoodies, and Bra Tops to Sports Skorts, your workout outfit will be well catered for with the Zumbawear.

Here are some of my favourites:-

These Ribbed Tank Tops are the ideal top’s to wear for you dance. They come in pink, black and grey, with a contrast trim and a subtle nod to Zumba at the hem. The colours guarantee you the perfect pairing for all your Zumba pants, no matter the colour.  They come in a pack of three for £29.95.

The Panasonic EW-DS11 is possibly the best gift idea for the lady who travels a lot, it’s stylish, very portable and it brushes rather well too.

This ingenious little electric toothbrush works off a single AAA battery (average length is 3 months at 2m use per day) and is a very welcome addition to any wash bag or handbag. It provides 16,000 brush strokes per minute, leaving your teeth feeling very clean indeed. The brush contains some very fine bristles, a welcome break from the tough, thick bristles found on many toothbrushes today, they definitely make a difference when it comes to that ultra clean feeling.

image

In terms of size, it’s no bigger than a fountain pen (16cm) and it comes in black, red and pink. It also has a lid that ensures the brush is kept hygienic at all times. It retails for £39.99 with a replacement brush head (pack of 2) working out at £9.99.

Pick up yours from John Lewis, http://www.amazon.co.uk, http://www.shavers.co.uk, Panasonic stores and Panasonic e-shop.
