You can’t have failed to notice that digital music players are everywhere right now, with Apple’s iPod this year’s must-have fashion accessory. More than just a flashy walkman, MP3 players can store thousands of songs (depending on the memory size) and connect to your home or car stereo, doing away with the need for CDs and CD players. Price is the drawback, with top of the range iPods still costing £299.00. They have just brought out the even smaller iPod Mini that holds up to 1,000 songs and costs £179.00. With Christmas hurtling towards us it might be time to start buttering up your sweetheart.
Dear Santa...
Wola Nani, ‘we embrace and develop one another’, is a South African non-profit organisation set up to help bring relief to women and their children living with HIV. The crafts they produce allow them to earn a small but steady income. Made from recycled packaging, their range of original and vibrant papier-mache bowls add a splash of colour to any home and certainly create a talking point. They also have a fantastic range of beaded jewellery, photo frames and place settings.

If that old saying were true I would be a big pie, but there is no doubt a wholesome diet can dramatically improve your health. If you have seen food guru Dr Gillian McKeith’s Channel Four program you will know the good doctor knows her stuff. Each week she whips lardy families into shape with the same nutritional expertise used to create her range of healthy drinks, bars and supplements. The emphasis is on ‘live’ foods, those that have not had the nutrients cooked out of them or destroyed by chemical processing. Nothing can replace a sensible, well-balanced diet and her book has many hints on retraining your eating habits. But there is nothing wrong with giving yourself a boost. Her products are organic and GM free, and have no added sugar but still tastes great.
