Advantages: AMAZINGLY comfortable bed and pillows. Friendly staff. Lovely decor. Disadvantages: Scarily expensive extras. Lousy view.
If you're on holiday for a few days or a few weeks, you may well choose a boutique hotel. After all, you will likely be spending a fair amount of time in it. However, if you are just attending your office Christmas Party in what might as well be Outer Mongolia (Hatfield), you'd think a cheap and cheerful hotel would do. And indeed it would, were they not all booked up the night of said booze up. However, for guests attending events at Hatfield House, Beales Hotel, a modern, 4 star establishment offer, during the week, bed and breakfast at £90 for a double. Having checked the cab fare between Hatfield and Hampton, and discovered it was £90, I duly booked myself and my husband into Beales Hotel.
Beales is in an unlikely location for a boutique, 4 star hotel. It's right on the Comet Way (A1001), a rather busy road, and not particularly ...

The cannister itself is a bright yellow colour with a jade green plastic lid. The cannister is re-cycleable and is found amongst the normal shampoos on the shelves. It supposedly had a Tropical scent to it, which was the theme ...
Advantages: Handy, pleasent smell Disadvantages: Longer to brush product through on dark hair
I first started using this product when I was a teenager and now I try have a can in incase of a bad hair day emergency. My hair is naturally thick and wavy and takes ages to dry and style, so I find Batiste useful if I don't have time to wash my hair and I'm going out.
The packaging is fairly simple and old fashioned looking and the product itself has a pleasent, clean smell. You apply it like a hairspray and the product goes on as a fine powder which you brush through your hair. My hair is currently brunette so I find I need to spend more time brushing it through than when my hair was blonde, however it's quicker and easier to brush this product through the hair than talc. ...
