STRANGE FISH & CHIP FLAVOUR ICECREAM

Looking just like normal fish and chips, who would have thought it was actually an icecream?

The fish is cod flavoured icecream with a vanilla and pepper batter and the chips are icecream with potato. Sounds like weird food, but you would have to try it to see, even if it was just a bite.

The UK based food producers Frederick Dairies said:

‘It tastes delicious and will certainly raise a smile with our customers,’

Would you try this if you had the chance? Or are you more of an observer!?

ESSENTIAL VANITY UNIT STORAGE

A girl can never have too much vanity space, and i'm sure I speak for some of the men out there too!
Whether it's units in the bathroom or bedroom - Some people even have a hallway cloakroom unit with a mirror too which is quite cool. Perfect for doing those last minute checks before you go out the door.
You can find some modern vanity units, lighting and faucets over at CSN store Just Vanities. I picked out a few of my favourites here in this post.

Which one do you like the best?

Also don't forget to check out my CSN store Lighting giveaway over at my Mummy Diaries blog, where the winner will get a $40 gift code to spend on whatever they like.

UNSEEN MICHAEL JACKSON PHOTOS TO BE AUCTIONED

This picture was one of the considerations for Michael Jackson's tenth album Invincible from 2001.

It didn't make the cut out the time, but the image that has never been seen before by the public will go up for auction alongside 11 other unseen portraits and 50 contact boards.

The bids are said to be starting from $1,2280 per picture.

It's hard to believe it's been a year since he passed, but his memory is still going on strongly.

CELEBRITY HAIR CARE: Wen

Do you ever wonder how celebrities get that most wanted shiny hair in great condition?

Mostly they usually have a really good hairdresser who can assist them like Chaz Dean (pictured)

Chaz wanted to share his experience and expertise by creating a hair care system called Wen.

One of his products is a cleansing conditioner that you use instead of your normal shampoo and conditioner.

It's ideal if you have really dry hair and want to bring the moisture back into it again.

The cleansing conditioner works as a shampoo and conditioner in one, but without having the harsh chemicals.

There are much more benefits to the range. You can find out more by visiting the Wen Haircare website.

WAYNE ROONEY PIZZA CREATION

World Cup fever is high, and still around unfortunately for all the women out there having to watch it and miss their TV programmes!

A pizza shop in Mulberry Street in Notting Hill, London, UK has created a pizza to look like England footballer Wayne Rooney. Not that he deserves any such honour the way he played recently - but I won't go into football politics.

It's a fun idea. Probably something I would try once for the novelty, but I love my meat and two pieces of ham eyes just wont do for me!

IMPROVE STRENGTH & TONE BODY: Yoga & Pilates

I remember when yoga classes first came on the scene and was all the rage. Looking at the poses it looked quite easy and I thought it was all just a relaxation technique and that was it.

Then I tried a class, and I was so wrong. Yes it does help your mind and body relax, but it's also great for your posture, strengthen different parts of your body and help tone up target areas too.

The class was different kinds of yoga postures for about half an hour, and although I could feel the stretching in my movements I didn't really feel I had a proper work out.

But by the next day I felt I had definitely done a work out the day before and was really impressed. And I didn't even break out in a sweat!

Now I have started doing it from home too using the techniques I learned and with the help of some DVD's for more variety.

I am always on the look out for new techniques, advice and information.
There is a website called 1800GetYoga.com that provides everything you need to know about yoga pilates .

You can find out why Yoga is good for you and the benefits it carries, how to get your body more flexible and see videos that range on average about 10-20 minutes of Yoga and Pilate's positions.

On another note I suffered with a bad back for years, but by doing a few simple positions each day it really helped strengthen my back and make it strong again.

Yoga is something anyone can do, and where you can go on to advanced levels to make it a more challenging exercise.

Have you ever tried Yoga and Pilate's yourself? If so was you surprised by the way it really works at and tones your body?

WOMEN USES 32,000 TEA BAG COLLECTION AS A DIARY

People can collect some weird things for a hobby, but this is the first time I have came across anyone collecting teabags, and used ones at that!

44 year old Patti Gaal-Holmes from Portsmouth in the UK has collected 32,000 over 11 years, and keeps them in suitcases to mark the memorable days of her life. Once the tea bag has been finished with she dabs in on some paper, numbers the bag, notes down who she had the drink with and the conversation.

She said of her strange hobby:

"I love drinking tea and I save the teabags because it’s a way of marking the days – it’s better than a diary,"

"They do smell a bit but I find it quite comforting. Sometimes friends think it’s a bit weird or eccentric and my kids just say, 'It’s mum and her tea'."

Bizarrely, if she hasn't had the cup of tea at her own home, she will take the teabags out of other people's bins!

I least we all know where to go if we ever run out of tea bags!

HIGH STREET OPTICIANS VS ONLINE RETAILERS

I'm sure you have probably heard of the company Zenni Optical many of times. That's because they have a good reputation for offering high quality eyeglasses online at cheaper prices than you would ever find at high street opticians.

One of the things that Zenni asks their customers for is a PD. This is your Pupillary Distance that is basically the distance in Millimeters between the pupils and the eyes center to center.

The reason for this is to ensure that your eyeglass fitment is accurate. You would get this from any optician that can do an eye test for you.

But alot of opticians won't give you this result unless you actually use their services.

I can understand where they are coming from really, but then the reason people haven't gone directly to them to buy their glasses in the first place comes down to price.

No matter how good a service is it will always come down to where that item can be bought for the cheapest.

With the Internet becoming more and more popular every day, the demand to buy glasses online is becoming greater.

Maybe the opticians should just charge a fee for a prescription like this instead of turning people away?

DRAB TO FAB: Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus was so young and innocent when she first made her appearance as TV character Hannah Montana, at just 12 year's old.

Adored by millions of young fans that inspired to be like her. But when Miley turned 17 she wanted to grow up and ditched the blonde wig and the Hannah Montana character she was so well known by.
Now she has transformed herself into a sexy sultry singer, much to the annoyance of Hannah Montana fan's parents who think she is a bad role model, but to others she is a hot artist. And it's not just her songs I mean either!

Do you like the new Miley? Or was you more of a Hannah fan?

THE PERFECT PRESENT: Gift Baskets

I always think gift baskets are a great present to send, as you don't end up buying the wrong thing for someone. And I find they are also good if you have no idea what to get for that person as a gift.

You could use them for birthdays, leaving presents, a Get Well Soon treat, Thank You gesture, a way of saying Sorry and much more.

My favourites I like to send (and receive of course!) are bathing products, food hampers and chocolate gifts.

The gift baskets and boxes they are laid out in come in pretty handy for use afterwards too.

You can find a nice variety of collections at 1-800 Baskets.

LEONA LEWIS' VEGGIE DIVA DEMAND

Nice girl Leona Lewis has gone all Diva on us lately. It has been reported that the singer has told her staff they can eat vegetarian food only around her.

Any food prepared for staff for breaks have to be meat free, and they are not even allowed to bring in food from outside to eat.

Leona is a strict vegetarian and doesn't even want to be around meat.

One staff member commented saying "There are going to be murders." and "Leona has demanded that only veggie food be made available for everyone. She is getting a reputation as a bit of a pain in the arse."

Surely she can see that people would respect her wishes as vegetarian, but others around her shouldn't have to suffer because of her choice of lifestyle.

I cant see staff members sticking around for long. Taking orders is part of the job, but picking which food you eat by someone else isn't!

FIND BEST PRICED DIOR PRODUCTS

Dior is a popular brand name that has been around for many years.

Over this time they have extended their range and have skin creams, perfume, handbags, Dior cosmetics and more.

With so much to offer, you can expect that many shops will stock their products.

There is a price comparison website called Become, where you can find the best deal for the product your looking for.

As well as tell you if the item is in stock and if the merchant is a 'Become Trusted' one - meaning a good history of secure check out processing, has been with Become for at least 6 months, has valid contact information and other criteria.

You can easily shop by price, keyword or category and the site makes it really easy to browse and order when you run out of those essential women's items.

CATCH UP WITH YOUR FAVOURITE PROGRAMMES ONLINE: SeeSaw

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of SeeSaw. All opinions are 100% mine.

Don't you just hate it when you miss your favourite programmes? Or you have heard a friend talk about how good a series was but you never watched it?

There is online TV service called SeeSaw where you can catch up for free, and where it's not from as little as 99p an episode.

You have got your standard Chanel's like BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, as well as being able to browse through different categories for sporting events, Drama, Entertainment, Lifestyle, a Comedy Section and more.

SeeSaw lets you watch hundreds of UK and USA premium programmes for free, and with a full screen too so it's just like you were watching it on your actual TV.

Popular programmes include Big Brother, Home and Away, Skins, The F Word, Doctor Who and SouthPark amongst others.

It's not just single episodes you can watch either - it can be a whole series.

I found myself looking through at programmes i had missed, and thought i wouldn't mind watching those, even if they are over now.

You can even share what your watching with friends on Facebook and Twitter.

More importantly it's safe to use and legal. Have a browse through the A-Z section to see whats available.

I think it's great for those nights where there is nothing at all on TV, and you have the flexibility to access it 24 hours whenever you like.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE TO STAR IN GLEE

When shows become big there always seems to be a following of celebrities that want to feature.

Musical show Glee has caught Justin Timberlake's attention, but it would seem the show wants him to be in it anyway to be Mr Schuester's brother and a substitute teacher.

Apparently according to the shows sources they are "They are just trying to work it all out at the moment."

I have always found Justin to be quite a good actor as well as a singer and be funny!, so he should be good. Do i like him you ask? I don't know what makes you think that!!?

GARDEN GAMES SPECIALISTS

With a love of the outdoors i like to play different kinds of Garden Games for us and the kids.

You have got croquet, football tables, table tennis, and novelty games like giant dominoes and Score 4 games.

The world's oldest games manufacturers since 1795 Jaques London, stock these kinds of tradional games on their website, as well as special edition antique ones for collectors.

Did you know that they actually invented croquet in 1901? So they know a thing or two about games - inside and outside at that.

You can also read guides on the history of how each game got started, what it's all about and the rules of play.

BIG BROTHER LOOK-A-LIKES

Rachel White and Beyonce

It's no secret that Big Brother reality show contestants thrive for the attention and fame. But for some of them it looks like they are deliberately trying to look like their idols.

Take these guys pictured here for instance. Some of the resemblances are uncanny. But it's obviously some of them go to the extra effort to actually look like that star?

Do you think it's deliberate or do you think they had their 'look' first?

Mikey Dalton and Vernon Kay

Gerry Stergiopoulos and Dale Winton

Chantelle Haye and Victoria Beckham

Marcus Akin and Wolverine

HAVE YOU BEEN AFFECTED BY ACCUTANE MEDICINE?

You may have heard in the news recently about many people taking accutane lawsuit's out against the company?

The powerful acne medication had severe side effects that left some people having to deal with birth defects, liver damage, inflammatory bowel disease, bone fractures amongst others.

It seems shocking to me to think this has been around for 20 years, and was only pulled from the market last year.

Why wasn't something done about it sooner? I can only vaguely remember their ads but i know it was a much desired medication, that doctors would only prescribe as a last resort option.

You can find out some really good detailed information on this over at Newsome Law Firm site. If you or someone you know have been affected by this they will be able to give you a free legal case evaluation, to see if you would be able to make a claim for your loss.

Many people have already been to court and succeeded with their case. Why should you suffer from a product that you trusted in? Sure it may have solved your problem, but you don't expect it to create another one do you?

I know the money can't take back what has happened, but at least Newsome Law Firm will be able to help you get what you rightly deserve.

ASCOT LADIES DAY: More Strange Hats

It was ladies day at Ascot, and of course this meant more amazing hats going around. It's getting like a competition now to see who can wear the strangest one i'm sure!

Again a few celebrities graced us with their presence such as Joan Collins and Declan Donnelly.

Which one is your favourite? And what kind of hat would you wear if you attended?
