I went walkabout sporting my new" Rubbish bag "which had been used on the new series of the T.V. Prog Ugly Betty and received many comments and compliments on the bright yellow eye catching shoulder bag which is ideal for holidays.

The Rubbish Bags are handmade in The Philippines from recycled sweet wrappers and are Fairly Traded. They are tough and strong and make very bold fashion statements because of their unique characteristics".

Betty has clearly identified the latest fashion trend and it`s great that she is also supporting both Fair Trade and recycled products".

If you are tempted have a look on www.thefairtradestore.co.uk.

The holiday season is now here and what better to pack then a battery operated toothbrush, no need to re-charge which means that you can take this toothbrush anywhere.

Versatile product, Ideal to pop into your handbag for a quick whizz after lunch at the office, really efficient little brush to make life easier and sweeter!

I must admit I was turned off mexican food some years ago when I tried chicken in a chocolate sauce in America, I realise this is a signature mexican dish but it didn't appeal to me at all.

However the Fajitas that I gingerly tried at Chiquito were absolutely delicious. The whole presentation was excellent. The sizzling dish contained strips of chicken cooked with peppers and onions and were served with cheese, salsa, sour cream and tortillas, which for the uninitiated are thin pancakes which you can roll all the ingredients up in.

It was a lovely experience and I shall certainly be returning to try some other dishes.

Should I ever end up on a desert island with only one beauty product with me it would have to be an eye pencil because without one my eyes just sink into insignificance.

It might sound silly but its really hard to find a pencil that is just right, one that doesn't drag your skin ,and stay put.

Hallelujah there is a perfect one its ESTEE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR STAY-IN-PLACE EYE PENCIL. It goes on so smoothly and also has a smudger at the other end so that the line doesn't look too perfect... if you understand me.

have a play and let me know what you think.

I must admit I was sceptical about this makeup because when you first squeeze some out of the tube it comes out pure white...........however when you smooth it into your skin it adjusts to match your particular skintone.

It is available in light, medium & dark and has a SPF of 15.

Very easy to apply and it produced a really natural look.

I just could not resist trying these summer puddings the packaging just sold it to me,
Spoonfuls of summer.....juicy summer blackcurrants, redcurrants, strawberries and raspberries layered between slices of bread drenched in tangy summer berry juice and Prosecco Rose` I defy you to resist trying them........delicious.

I also picked up a tub of Cook Asian black bean stir fry sauce which was so authentic and added such flavour to a stir fry.
