Madra - Miranda Sex Garden

Advantages: A great all round soap for anyone
Disadvantages: None

...This is, without a doubt, my all-time favourite Lush soap. And it was my very first Lush soap, too! There I was, in a virgin Lush shower with Miranda and I was having such a fantastic shower, all because of a piece of soap! Needless to say my boyfriend thought i'd gone mad, as he said and I quote "its only a soap". Oh no my friend, its not just a soap its a Miranda soap! Originally named Carmen Miranda (the singer from the 70s, who dressed in very elaborate head- gear made of fruit. She was as famous for her singing as she was for her fruity head dresses) it was created as a big soap "pie" decorated with huge pieces of carved soap fruit on top. Truly, it was nothing short of a work of art. But then it was briefly discontinued, reformulated, and returned as Miranda, a white to light green soap with the fruit now being stirred into...

Advantages: A great easy to read book!
Disadvantages: One of my favourites this year!

...My mum passed this book onto me a week or so ago, and as I had just finished another book, I thought I would start on this one, I have read one of Jill Mansells books before, Millie's Fling, and loved it, and so I was very excited to get into this one, and I was not disappointed!

Advantages: nice location, necessary amenities
Disadvantages: noisy surroundings at times

...Hotel Miranda is a small quaint hotel. the staff are quite friendly, although not always on hand, the hotel can feel desolate at times. The swimming pool is lovely, although not heated so can be cold. The hotel has a nice bar, although quite expensive. Morning buffet breakfast is served with nice simple food which can be eaten on the beautiful terrace. The rooms are quite basic, but hold all the necessary amenities (eg shower, double bed etc. However, at night it can get quite noisy, especially with children staying in the hotel, and with the locals outside. The hotel is situated near to the santa ponsa's tourist and beach area, with all the amenities nearby. However, the hotel is located in what appears to be an alley road, so the smell of rubbish/bins can become quite bad when the whether is hot. I found santa ponsa itself to be... Read review
