Healing Space - Tia Fuller

Tia Jilldo

Advantages: That Caribbean atmosphere.
Disadvantages: Stinking hangovers!

There's a lovely story attached to the origins of Tia Maria, all about Jamaica during the Colonial Wars, fleeing noblewomen, black pearl earrings and a secret family recipe. You can read it on their website (http://www.tiamaria.co.uk) if, like me, you like to know the folklore and stories behind the things that you buy. The website will also tell you how this famous liqueur is made and the process sounds equally romantic: coffee beans grown in the foothills of the Jamaican Blue Mountain range are gathered, cracked, and mixed with vanilla and sugar and alcohol then bottled and sold to those of us who love to savour a little bit of the taste and the atmosphere of a lazy Caribbean holiday whenever we can.

Review of Tia Maria

Sooth & Heal

Advantages: A staple product, effective and cheap.
Disadvantages: a very small tube, have to use straight away.

The tube is easy to un-screw with a red cap and easy to read text. It is a handy size to carry around in your handbag too.

Review of Blistex Healing Relief cream

Spaced

Advantages: Genius comedy
Disadvantages: None!

There was a time when Simon Pegg wasn't appearing in bad Star Trek films and starring in exceptional sitcoms which he had a big hand in writing - this is Spaced. Now starting to edge over the ten years old mark, Spaced was a sitcom regarding two strangers (played by Pegg and Jessica Stevenson) who meet in a greasy spoon café, and figure out they both need somewhere to live, despite barely knowing each other. They move into a two bedroom flat owned by the creepy landlady Marsha and then the tales begin. The two series predominantly feature storylines regarding Pegg and Stevenson's characters - Tim Bisley and Daisy Steiner - but there are other characters heavily featured. Tim's best friend Mike (played by Pegg's good friend Nick Frost who stars in the likes of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead) is a 'weapons enthuasiast' and plays ...
