Colgate Herbal Toothpaste

I used to use McCleans toothpaste but now have switched to Colgate for a number of year now, basically because you can't get McCleans in my home town shops. I certainly am fussy when it comes to toothpastes as I am very proud of my teeth. I always feel fresh and squeaky clean after a Colgate brush and now I have bought the Colgate herbal toothpaste on a trial basis as a special offer was on at the time. Did it live up to the Colgate standards?

Well it certainly tasted different, a fresher more distinctive almost sweet taste. To me this put me off a but as I associated the sweet taste with sugae, it felt like I was brushing my teeth with a sugar based paste. Looking at the ingredient this was not the case so my mind was put at rest on that account.

After every evening where I have raw garlic with my meals I certainly hoped that this would counter the morning garlic breath - It did I don’t have to worry about my breath as it worked quite well, I suppose the herb content counteracts with the garlic smell. I know that eating parsley is great for getting rid of garlic breath where some parsley based compound is in the mixture I don't know, but it works.

So far all good points however, this Colgate herbal toothpaste I found has negative side effect. The compound used leaves my lips dry. Not too much of a problem as I use lip moisturiser to counteract the effect. Other than this I can't see any other negative points.

Would I buy Colgate herbal toothpaste again? Well no, the only reason was because it was on special offer and cheaper than the conventional Colgate toothpaste products that do a good job.

A thumbs up to the product but a thumbs down to the normal price! 

Video Surveillance Works

My brother has a property in France and it was burgled last year. He didn't want this to happen again as it wasn't the loss of electrical goods and valuables that was the most upsetting part it was the trashing of furniture and fitting done out of spite. If he ever catches the culprits they would be dead meat! He now has done something about it he should have done years ago when first getting his French property renovated and fitted out.

He has got vidéo surveillance installed and is pretty sure this will be the end of any more criminals ransacking his house. Drum type system or fûts in French are seen outside his house so there is a visual deterant to anyone who considers breaking in. They will know that they are being watched 24\7!

This review is of the video surveillance products in general and to date it doesn't only reduce the risk of burglars but give peace of mind whilst away form the house. The particular company that my brother bough the system from included an ampoule discount which made it an even more attractive deal considering the amount he will now save from being burgled again. He has even though about getting rid of the insurance covering burglary he is that confident with the system fitted in.

A thumbs up to surveillance systems in general and in particular systems that don't cost the earth.

The New Fleece Microwave Hot Water Bottle

I have always been a fan of the hot water bottle the trouble is you can't buy any in Bulgaria they don't stock them in the shops. So I had a friend who brought me one over. It wasnt' the conventional rubber type with the rubber smell that comes with it but a fleece covered on with get you heat up in the microwave. So what did I think of it?

I don't know why these hot water bottles aren't more popular in Bulgaria ads they are excellent for the old folk in particular those who find it difficult to fill up the older versions with hot water from the kettle. I'm sure many an accident has happened with this tricky task a hot water bottle.

I was told that this particular fleece hot water bottle lasts up to ten years and would save lots of money on fuel bills the power to heat it up is less by microwave. Sounds good so far. I have used it every night for the last month and I can honestly say it remains warm through to the morning. No rubber smells and not having to empty out the lukewarm water on older versions.

As a whole is out rates the rubber version in every department unless you haven't got a microwave of course. Less work, cleaner, cheaper and of course does the job it is intended to do, - Keep you warm in winter.

I now have a new friend in bed who never complains and the fleece hot water bottle can be bought from Amazon for under a tenner with free delivery in the UK. Well worth the money

A thumbs up? You bet!
