Advantages: Excellent functionality Disadvantages: Only for those who don't mind looking silly
Since joining ciao and posting my 'about me' photo I've had a number of comments - most of them fairly rude - about the hat I am wearing in the picture. I've now been warned by another ciaoster that if I don't write about my hat, he will and it seems likely to be safer if I do it myself. So I'm using this as a piece of self-indulgence involving two of my favourite things - hats and bears.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: exceptional Review of Buff headgear
Buffs is situated in the heart of the old part of Cardiff Bay at No. 8 Mount Stuart Square.

We booked a table of of eight here for a Sunday lunch. We ordered a variety of starters, home made soups, prawn cocktails, pate ...
The Body Shop has always liked to push its products underneath an ethical tag. I'm all for companies being as green and ethical as possible, (and from everything I read and hear direct from office staff they do stick to their word on it) but I sometimes find it a little hard to believe that corporations as big as The Body Shop can be all that angelic. To give you the low-down, The Body Shop formed in Brighton over thirty years ago by (the now) Dame Anita Roddick. Back then it was just one small shop; it is now a global business with more than 2,100 stores. It is now part of the L'Oreal group and is run following initiatives such as "Support Community Trade", "Against Animal Testing" and "Protect Our Planet".
Back to the product. This 'Brush On Buff' is sold at £11.50 online, a lot of money if you ask me. The most expensive cosmetic I tend to ...
