Nicks & Cuts

so it’s seal.on blotters £2.59 to the rescue. They stop bleeding
fast, allowing you to get on with your day confidently. PS - maybe your blade
needs changing? Chemists nationwide.
stiff competition
A good lube is hard to find. Some dry out, some go tacky and others aren't
condom safe. Clonezone's new water-based, fragrance-free lube, Clear,
will keep gliding all night and it doesn't taste bad either. We have five
bottles to give away to the first five readers who answer the following:
Condoms don't help prevent:
a) STIs including HIV
b) unwanted pregnancy
c) bad relationships
Email your answer to prize@clonezone.co.uk with ‘stiff competition’
in the subject line.
Clonezone Clear, 250ml £8.95 from Clonezone stores
or www.clonezonedirect.co.uk
HAPPY THOUGHTS
Thinkhappy Jump Up shower gel £5.25, Feel Good body
butter and Let's Face It moisturiser £7.35
Many ingredients in Boots’ new Thinkhappy body-care
range are organic and avoid using chemicals common in beauty products thought
to cause skin irritation and health problems, including sodium laurel sulphate.
SLS is used in everything from baby wipes to floor cleaner and it’s
what makes foamy products foam. Some claim it is carcinogenic but it definitely
irriates skin. If you have sensitive skin this could be the answer.
LUNCHBOXES
Persuading children to eat well is no mean feat, as Jamie Oliver recently
discovered. Smoothie-makers Innocent have cunningly disguised one portion
of fruit as a delicious drink and, unlike any other kid's drink, they are
made from 100 per cent fruit with nothing added. Just don't tell them they
are good for them.
Innocent Apple and Blackcurrant and Orange, Mango and Pineapple smothies
£2.99 for 4 x 180ml from supermarkets
