Own A Colour Charity Initiative Proves That Boys No Longer like Blue the Best


Thousands of Britonss have taken part in the new global Own A Colour fundraising initiative, which is raising crucial funds for UNICEF, the world’s leading children’s organisation. In a surprise twist on gender stereotypes, most men are ditching blue shades in favour of red hues, turning tradition on its head to disprove the old adage, ‘blue is for boys’.

The Own A Colour website offers the chance for everyone to buy their own personal colour for a minimum donation of at least £1 per colour. Faced with more than 16.77 million colours to choose from, 39% of red-blooded men veered towards the colour of passion when shopping for their colour.

Men also showed their romantic side when buying colours as gifts, with 44% of men opting for a shade of pink or red for friends and loved ones.

Pink packed the biggest punch in the popularity stakes and proved to be the most popular colour overall, with 21% of Britonss purchasing a shade of pink. Yellow and green were the least favoured colours.

Own A Colour has the potential to help UNICEF transform the lives of millions of children across the globe. The initiative is powered by Dulux, that has a mission of ‘Adding Colour to People’s Lives’.

Michael Newsome, Director of Fundaraising at UNICEF UK said, “UNICEF is really excited that people from all over the world are snapping up colours. There are plenty left so get onto www.ownacolour.com to join in the fun. At the same time you could save a child’s life, so why not?”

Matt Pullen, Marketing Director Dulux UK said, “Thousands of people in the UK have bought a colour to raise money for UNICEF and current colour choice trends show men prefer to see red! It is great to see the characteristics such as passion, warmth and romance are not just the preserve of other nationalities such as the Italians. The Own A Colour initiative has shown British men aren’t afraid to show their true colours in aid of such a worthy cause.”

Global Own A Colour buying patterns show the UK shares its love of red with Japan, Taiwan and China, where red is the colour of joy, good luck, happiness and prosperity.

UK women reveal their odd beauty secrets, but most still put their faith in milk!


Spraying hairspray on the face to avoid smudging and sleeping on your back to prevent wrinkles are among the weird and wonderful beauty secrets employed by women, it emerged yesterday.

Other tricks of the trade include placing cold teaspoons on puffy eyes to sooth swelling and spraying perfume on a hairbrush to give the hair an alluring scent.

Researchers who carried out a detailed study into beauty regimes, habits and rituals found four out of ten women utilise goods found in kitchen cupboards to look good.

Smearing toothpaste on spots and blemishes and sleeping in bed in socks full of moisturiser are also common.

The extreme lengths to which women go to were revealed following a comprehensive study involving 2,000 women by dairy drink Modern Milk.

Yesterday a spokeswoman said: ''Some of the beauty treatments in this list are more extreme than others and it’s clear the lengths some women will go to to look beautiful.

‘’Having some little hints and tricks up your sleeve is one thing, but trying to constantly sleep on your back to avoid wrinkles or spraying your face with hair spray are quite severe.

‘’We wanted to poll women to find out what alternative beauty treatments they use and whether people make use of ingredients from kitchen cupboards.

"The age old trick of putting cold teabags or cucumber on the eyes to reduce puffiness is still used today."

The research revealed the majority of women stick to tried and tested beauty rituals passed down through the family or gleaned from female friends and colleagues.

They include drinking two litres of bottled water every day and drinking a glass of milk or two when possible to give the body a calcium boost.

The survey also revealed that tomatoes (74%) salmon (59%), olive oil (56%), oats (54%) and avocado (40%) were foods that women consider an important part of diet in terms of beauty. Top of their list was that old favourite milk, which 77% of women in the UK believe is the most important beauty food, especially when it comes to their skin, hair and nails.

This was pleasing news to TV Doctor Dr Hilary Jones, a big fan of milk, who believes women shouldn’t be wasting money on cosmetics but spending it on foods that are rich in calcium and essential nutrients.

Dr Hilary said: "You need milk in your diet for health and as an additional bonus it has beauty benefits and doesn’t cost the earth. I support supermarkets like Tesco putting really great offers on beauty foods such as Modern Milk, which contain added vitamins and minerals and are one of life’s natural beauty products".

He added: "Milk is the nearest thing you can find to a totally complete food containing, as it does, a perfect balance of protein, minerals, vitamins, essential fats and carbohydrates".

Along with traditional methods, the study also revealed a plethora of more modern unconventional habits undertaken by women in the privacy of their bathrooms.

It found many shave their legs with hair conditioner, WHY?????

Others admitted to splashing lemon juice on their hair in the hope it will develop a lighter tint when exposed to the sunlight.

Brushing hair with talcum powder to freshen it up and using lipstick on the cheeks when blusher runs out also emerged as common tricks.

Vaseline is regularly used to smooth out frizzy hair and many women also use toothpaste to soothe insect bites.

Among the other weird and wonderful techniques was pinching cheeks before entering nightclubs, bars or restaurants to give them a radiant red glow, using tea tree oil on ingrowing hairs and steaming the face in herb water.

From today, 26th October, Modern Milk will be encouraging women everywhere to start drinking milk by offering a 50p voucher on their Facebook page www.facebook.com/ModernMilk. The voucher will be valid until the 9th November. For more details visit www.modernmilk.co.uk.

The Bridal Coach" Dvds Promise Wedding From Paradise

"The average spend on a wedding in the UK is £24,000 It's very easy for the stress to mount and for brides to lose sight of the fun they know that they should be having.

“In The Bridal Coach, I teach both the practical skills and the mindset required by the bride and their family to make the day go like a dream." - Michele Paradise - The Bridal Coach

TV fashion judge and modelling adviser Michele Paradise has released a unique DVD guide to help women enjoy the wedding day of their dreams.

In The Bridal Coach 4 DVD set (www.thebridalcoachdvd.com), Michele Paradise - a former catwalk model - advise brides on all aspects of their wedding day, from how to look stunning, how to stand with poise and elegance all the way through to how to feel fantastic on their special day.

Michele, a judge and adviser on TV hits "The Clothes Show", "Model Behaviour!" and "Britain's Next Top Model" is also a life-coach and hypnotherapist trained by self-help expert Paul McKenna. She combines a unique set of skills to help brides-to-be enjoy their day, and feel and look fantastic, inside and out.

"Being a Bride is like being a supermodel for the day," says Michele. "The big difference is supermodels have guidance and years of experience. Brides don't - and they only get one shot at it."

In The Bridal Coach, real brides-to-be discover the secrets of instant calm, creating confidence and enjoying every moment of their day, thanks to the psychological techniques she learned from McKenna.

At the same time, with her model's eye, Michele gives the brides practical advice on choosing the right wedding dress for their body shape, selecting the right shoes and walking in them, as well as posing for a photographer. Among other useful skills, she gives brides professional make-up advice, and of course, teaches them the art of walking down the aisle with style.

Michele has made a real difference to hundreds of weddings, and countless happy couples' days were made so much more special with her advice and psychological techniques.

Now a recognised figure in the wedding industry who shows a bride how to shine, Michele is an expert in turning a potentially stressful day into one that will be remembered "happily ever after".

Founder Holly Davis, who recently relocated from the north-east back to her Yorkshire roots, is passionate about working small scale and bringing individuality back to fashion.  Holly and Ruby is an online treasure-trove of original, handmade handbags.

Each piece is lovingly made in the small Yorkshire studio by the Holly and Ruby team. “The design team is currently just me” says Holly. “I quite like it that way though. It means I can cater to my creative whims as I please.” 

Holly set up Holly and Ruby in response to the growing domination of mass-manufacture.  “I understand the role of mass-manufacture within fashion. However, I also strongly believe there is also a place for originality that is affordable and desirable“, says Holly.

“Each piece from Holly and Ruby is original and absolutely unique. I never make two bags the same. Once each bag is made, I give it a name and a character description. When you buy one of our bags, you are buying a unique piece of artwork, something especially for you.” It is these qualities that make Holly and Ruby an important part of the handmade revival.  

Holly and Ruby offer a design for every occasion, from bags such as the desirable Lady in Red to the wild and funky Wild Child. 

“There are design and production skills that we, as a culture, are in danger of losing unless we celebrate handmade and encourage others to do the same.”  Holly continues, “There is something satisfying and authentic about owning your own slice of fashion, something that belongs to no one else. That is style that you cannot buy from high street.” 

To celebrate handmade, Holly and Ruby are offering a fantastic 15% discount from their online store www.hollyandruby.co.uk Quote offer code HANDMADE24 Offer expires 31/01/12

But with heavy boots stifling our toes all winter, what do you do about those tired nails and feet? Never fear, Scholl has some perfect solutions to keep toes twinkling this festive season.

To banish foot faux pas such as chipped nails, dry skin or unsightly cuticles, Scholl's Color Pop Portable Manicure Set can be used on both hands and feet to get them party perfect. With two speed settings and seven attachments, the rechargeable wand can be used to tackle troublesome nails, dry or hard skin and untidy cuticles. It also contains exfoliating stones to smooth the skin and  you can finish off by shaping the nails with the fine grain cone attachment.

Or for an extra special treatment, the experts at Scholl recommend a regular foot spa to keep skin soft and supple. To tackle dry skin, Scholl's Color Pop Foot Spa uses massage attachments including a pumice stone to smooth soles, as well as massage rollers and acupressure pads. The foot spa uses a range of relaxing programs to soothe tired feet, with vibrations to enhance the benefits of the textured base of the spa, and bubbles to help boost circulation in the feet and legs. The thermal design helps the spa maintain heat for long, leisurely relaxation, ready for braving the chilly weather.

For the ultimate relaxation whilst preparing your feet for pampering, the Scholl Arctic Heat Shiatsu Foot Massager uses four Shiatsu nodes to penetrate aching muscles, sooth tensions and reduce any swelling in the feet before donning heels and heading out to party. The infrared heating and cold air propulsion system means that massages can be tailored to different needs, invigorating tired feet or soothing tight muscles.

So this festive season, get your feet twinkling and prepared to party with expert pampering tools from Scholl.

Running Shoes Selling Fast With Six Months To Go ‘Til The London Marathon 2012

22nd October marks an important day for thousands of people in the country as it is six months ‘til the London Marathon - and time to start training!

The countdown is on with just 183 days until the big race and, already, Google is reporting a huge spike in searches for ‘marathon training’: 5,400 people have made this search just this month alone.

Sales figures at Sportsshoes HQ have also shown an increase in people interested in preparing for the marathon. The Asics GT 2160 running shoes have been flying off the shelves as athletes race to get the correct sports kit to prevent any injuries when running.

Running gear specialist and MD of SportsShoes.com Brett Bannister says:  “The London Marathon is one of the most enduring races in the world. When people run, around three to four times their bodyweight is placed on the shoe at a time and that’s a lot of pressure over 26 miles! So it is paramount to get some really good running shoes with the right amount of support and cushioning to suit the level of pronation. Runners will also find their feet will heat up and swell when running long distances, so they should choose half a size up from their normal shoe size.”

He adds, “When choosing clothing it is important to look for moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics to ensure a comfortable run.”

Brett includes his top 5 essential kit items for marathon runners below:

1. For neutral runners, the cushioned Nike Zoom Vomero +6 running shoes are brilliant for high mileage usage and just £64.95. For more support try the Saucony Progrid Hurricane 12 shoes, a reasonable £69.95

2. The Nike Dri Fit range offers super breathable vests ideal for marathon runners. Made of a high performance, microfibre fabric it wicks sweat away from the body to keep runners cool and comfortable. Prices start from £12.95.

3. The Adidas Response Tight Running Shorts have a zip back pocket which is ideal for keeping essentials at hand throughout a race. The ‘climalite’ fabric also wicks sweat away from the skin. They are available for men and women from £17.95.

4. Thorlo Light Mini Crew Running Socks are made of 70% Coolmax fabric to keep your feet cooler and drier than ordinary socks. The light weight pads of these anklet socks make them more comfortable, reducing fatigue and minimising blisters. Available for men and women at SportsShoes.com at £9.99.

5. Music is an essential morale booster during the epic journey. Why not check out our Sportsshoes.com playlist on Sharemyplaylist.com which has a great variety of tempos to work through during practice runs.

Hotter Shoes says reveals one in three women carry extra pair of comfy shoes in case of pain


Hotter Shoes has revealed that one in three UK women carry a comfortable pair of shoes with them to swap into because they are anticipating foot pain, according to a new survey.

Women who work, rest and play are going to great lengths to remain on their feet longer, despite 81 per cent admitting to experiencing pain by wearing 'killer' heels on a night out. (EDITOR: That must be why they call them 'killer' heels) But don't think that it's just fashionistas suffering for their art as an incredible 46 per cent of women admitted to walking in comfortable shoes to meet friends then changing into killer heels at the last minute.

The study into the footwear choices of 2,000 women was conducted by comfortable shoe specialist, Hotter Shoes which is looking at what motivates women's shoe choices for occasions.

Lisa McCarten of Hotter Shoes said: "The research highlights the amount of pain women encounter in uncomfortable shoes but shows they are willing to do something about it – logically shoes that look good and feel fantastic are the answer."

She added: "We were astounded to find comfy shoes often being seen as 'handbag accessories' in women’s daily lives. Shoes shouldn’t have to be worn in - it should be a pleasure to put on a brand new pair of shoes not a pain. At Hotter we know that women want shoes that look good and make them feel fantastic whatever they are doing."

A staggering 84 per cent of women wear killer heels on a night out, despite only one in ten saying they can find comfortable high heels.

34 per cent of women anticipate experiencing pain from their shoes within an hour of leaving home and 60 per cent carry plasters because they expect a blister or cut. More than half have ended an evening bare foot as they couldn't walk further in their uncomfortable shoes.

Half of the women surveyed said they buy new shoes to take on holiday and almost 60 per cent of them have experienced pain whilst abroad.

One in three has had to buy another pair of shoes when out of the house due to the level of discomfort experienced in the shoes they were wearing. A third of women in the UK walk to work in a comfortable pair of flats before changing into heels at their desk.

FACTFILE:
The company, which was established in 1959, now has one of the most successful production facilities anywhere in the world. The 'Comfort Concept' in every pair of women's shoes includes features such as smooth internal seams; removable insoles; soft leather uppers and soft padding. The 1.7 million pairs of shoes that will be designed and made in Hotter's UK factory this year have shock absorbing soles which contain millions of air bubbles that make the shoes incredibly light and give a feeling of walking on air.

Hotter shoes makes a range of womens shoes and mens shoes that are designed to look stylish but secretly hide a raft of comfort features including padding at heels; roomy toe boxes and removable insoles. The shoes made in the Lancashire factory have polyurethane soles that contain millions of tiny air bubbles, making them incredibly lightweight, flexible and shock absorbing. The company also manufactures work shoes and extra wide shoes, as well as several other ranges.
