I feel like this stripped my hair a lot. Especially while using it in conjunction with 'I Love Juicy'. It smells freaking weird. Like flowers but not pretty smelling flowers. It did not make my hair feel any better.
American Cream is the better conditioner Lush has to offer.

Ohhhhhhh I am in love with the smell of this conditioner!!! I can't stop sniffing my hair :D. I've gotten lots of compliments on how I smell since I started using it! I took off one lippie because it's kind of lightweight and I really need a heavier conditioner

neroli is like catnip to me so naturally i adore the smell. it lingers very nicely & when i use this i sniff my hair a lot to get more of that intoxicating scent. it's addictive. it is very strong tho, so not for everyone. smell aside, it's a pretty nice light conditioner w/ a thin, spreadable texture. works well for my fine & wavy hair, could also make a nice leave-in for thicker hair. 1 of my all-time fave lush products.

I have fine hair, and am always looking to add volume. I purchased Happy Happy Joy Joy along with Big (shampoo), and the two work great together.
Happy Happy Joy Joy is a lightweight conditioner that I use for detangling and shine. I love that it's not heavy or greasy, and does not weigh my hair down. It adds tons of volume and shine. My hair looks shiny, smooth and bouncy. And the scent is to die for! Sooooooooo intoxicating ........ and it lasts forever. I seriously cannot stop smelling my hair. This is good stuff! :)

First things first, this is not a conditioner you should use if you actually need some moisture in your hair. My sister has thin hair that tends to get greasy, so this worked perfect for her. I, on the other hand, have thick and dry curly hair. The reason I rated it a 4 still is because it makes my hair smell SO GOOD. With my hair, I only shampoo and condition about twice a week and the good smells usually wear off. With Happy Happy Joy Joy, I mix it with a heavier conditioner and my hair smells lovely all the way up until I wash it again. So basically, use this as a hair perfume! I buy the smaller container because a little goes a long way for the smell.

I love the smell of this but it is too thin for my thick hair. I mix it with Mixed Greens by MOP so i get the benefits of a proper conditer but the smell of the Joy.

I'm sad to read all of the bad reviews! I purchased this conditioner on a whim. I hadn't smelled it or anything; however, I'm really enjoying it. I have very long, fine, straight hair. Truthfully, I don't need much extra moisture. I don't feel that I need to use much of this at all for it to do the job. I only use this conditioner on the ends of my hair, from the ears down really. When I'm in the shower, the conditioner does feel a bit sticky. It doesn't feel like it's doing much, but when I get out, I really can tell a difference! My hair detangles quickly and it smells amazing! I really am loving this stuff, and I wouldn't hesitate to repurchase! My only complaint is the price. But, it's full of good ingredients, it smells absolutely divine (and it really lingers), plus, it does work for my fine hair. Both my boyfriend and his mother have tried this and they both liked it as well! I think this would work best for fine or thin hair, not too curly, frizzy, or anything like that.

This is probaly not the best conditioner I have used but the scent makes up for it !! People have complimented me on my perfume but it's actually this conditioner. Because of this I just can't stop using it and I think everyone should try it at least once.

Don't use this product all over your hair. You will regret it. I use it on the ends of my hair. It smells like a bouquet of flowers. The smell is enough for me to buy this product again and again.

I love it, but I have a hard time reviewing this product, because it is one of the worst conditioners I have ever used. It's worse than useless, it's actually as problematic as other reviewers have said. Leaves my fine curly hair a tangled mess and when my hair was chemically straightened, it left it a tangled strawlike mess. It's a TERRIBLE conditioner, and I don't recommend it to condition or even detangle.
OMG it smells amazing.I use it strictly as a hair perfume. Not a conditioner.
I am addicted to LUSH's orange flower scents. It mirrors that of Gorgeous and similar (though minus the coconut) of a LE soap "I Should Coco" To clarify, it smells like *orange flower* NOT ORANGES. No citrus; all floral. It's also unusual for LUSH in that it smells exactly the same when you use it as in the bottle, so you are getting exactly what you expect.
How I use it: After co-washing or washing and conditioning, I rub a little of this in my wet hands and run it through my dripping wet hair. Then I go on with whatever styling or leave ins are part of my routine. I sometimes rub a bi between my palms and run it over styled hair for fragrance or add a little water to it to freshen next-day hair-but not too much because it leaves a sticky film on my hair. The scent lingers and can be quite strong, but if applied lightly, it's amazing and people will tell you your hair smells amazing.
Great scent, terrible conditioner. I have found no other use for it like shaving cream or body wash, so it's strictly a one-use product.

Local, Social and Vertical Find a New Meeting Place:
Local Matters Launches LocalGuides.com Beta
Advanced Local Search Site Connects Local Directory and Vertical Content with User-Generated Guides
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Local Matters, Inc., a technology company developing search solutions that cultivate connections between merchants and consumers, today announced the beta launch of LocalGuides.com, a new local search website in the Local Matters network of Internet properties. LocalGuides.com aggregates local directory and vertical content, and provide consumers with enhanced tools to discover, organize, annotate and share their personal local guides.
"Consumers want more involvement with local information. While some progress has been made in a few entertainment categories, the search industry has failed to give consumers useful tools for personalized local information and opinions"
Designed to help consumers organize and improve local shopping and activity planning, LocalGuides.com enables site users to create a broad array of personal guides – from simple lists of favorite jazz clubs to complex shopping activities like kitchen renovations. The site offers a new place on the Internet for consumers to organize their local life! Users can create and share their guides with friends and family, or all other users. LocalGuides.com is a new Internet destination where the collective intelligence of a neighborhood can be explored – each user can easily copy and build on other users' guides.
Local Matters also incorporates a unique "Starter Guide" concept, with pre-created guides that users can copy and personalize. Complex shopping activities such as "bathroom remodeling" or "new driver" are just a couple of examples where Starter Guides give consumers simple productive guide templates with contextual search tools, and suggested reference sites.
"Consumers want more involvement with local information. While some progress has been made in a few entertainment categories, the search industry has failed to give consumers useful tools for personalized local information and opinions," said Perry Evans, Local Matters CEO. "LocalGuides.com fills this void by creating a relevant and engaging shared-consumer experience, while also helping local merchants find new ways to connect with their local audience. This is a big part of what has been missing in Local Search."
U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray predicts revenues for the local search industry will more than double by 2007. The latest comScore results report that more than 60 percent of U.S. Internet users (nearly 110 million people) performed a local search online in 2006 — nearly double that of 2005. The report also found that half of all users take their local search to the next level by visiting a local merchant they found via local search engines.
"LocalGuides represents a very smart mix of local, social and vertical elements," said Greg Sterling, principal, Sterling Market Intelligence. "But beyond being provocative and interesting, it offers real value to users by providing more depth and context for their local queries."
About Local Matters
Local Matters, Inc., with more than 20 Yellow Pages customers in nine countries and 22 U.S. and international 411 service providers in 13 countries, provides software and media services that enable Yellow Pages publishers and 411 service providers to expand their traditional service offerings and capitalize on emerging opportunities in the local search market. Local Matters' products and services are designed to broaden its clients' revenue and distribution opportunities by enabling them to deliver improved consumer local search services and extend their advertising reach.

So, do they need soaking? I've done this recipe before, and I pre-soaked the peas overnight, and they just wouldn't cook down! They stayed really firm, even after nearly 35mins at high pressure. I wonder if it's the fact that I'm pre-soaking them? I can't see why that would be, but what do you think?Morosohttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126244341111789852.post-48977989695834079042013-01-05T16:30:02.633-05:002013-01-05T16:30:02.633-05:00Hey there are plenty of slow cooker versions of th...Hey there are plenty of slow cooker versions of this soup so huzzah,,, you need not miss out.TheFoodyGuyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126244341111789852.post-8704751281053927532013-01-05T15:56:49.707-05:002013-01-05T15:56:49.707-05:00you could also add some dried mint for a tasty pea...you could also add some dried mint for a tasty pea and mint soup- make sure you balance flavor with salt [yes needed] and or some fat of some form so sprinkling of cheese, addition of cream or even butter will often lift and add dimension to a dried pulse soup.TheFoodyGuyhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126244341111789852.post-85793103007488587822012-12-31T15:05:34.197-05:002012-12-31T15:05:34.197-05:00no real difference as ive done it both waysno real difference as ive done it both email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126244341111789852.post-46535342322448829332012-12-30T15:29:37.860-05:002012-12-30T15:29:37.860-05:00Hi Gina, This is my first attempt at pressure cook...Hi Gina,
This is my first attempt at pressure cooking and I'm a bit confused. The liquid is brought to a boil and then covered. What difference would it make if I simply covered without bringing it to a boil first?

"We visited Agios Gordios in August 2008 for 1 week. The accommodation was spacious, well equiped and spotless and one of the nicest apartments we have stayed in while visiting Greece. Our apartment was situated at the back of the building so was cool and quiet. (We did not have air con)
Marina is situated off the main road up a steep hill and our apartment was then up three sets of stairs. Not for the unfit.
Agios Gordios is a gem and Kosmar describe it beautifully. The walk through the winding street lined with shops and tavernas to the beach is enchanting.
Eating out was always good. We paid between 12 euros and 33 euros for 2. The difference in price did not reflect in the quality of food so dont be put off by the price thinking its too cheap. I would recommend Nickys and Time out bar as best value for money.
On the down side, the resort is very popular and parking a nightmare. When walking the narrow street you have to be vigilent as cars are parked and motorists are often frustrated as they cannot find a parking space. The beach is a dead end so traffic is always two way and the narrow street is busy.
The beach was a little disappointing as there are large pebbles in the shallows and you have to wade through them (ouch) in order to reach the shallow sand bar. My wife is not a confident swimmer and was not comfortable in wading through the deep water before reaching the shallow sand area. The same will probably apply to young children.
I thought 8 euros for a beach set a little expensive but if you turn right at the beach you will find cheaper."

"In a nutshell, I wouldn't stay at the Marina again. I stayed at the front apartment facing the road. The positive features of the accomodation is that it is clean (you will not see any insects inside) also the decor is simple white. However, you need to pay a daily rate for air con (we didn't need air con as the room was cool enough without it), a deposit to use the tv and you need to pay for a tv remote control. Also note that if you lose your room key there is a 50 euro fine.
During our 7 day stay our bed sheets and towels were never changed. The temperature in Ag. Gordios was a wonderful 41 on average, so you can imagine that I needed to shower quite a few times during the day. I pleaded with the cleaning lady (the owners mother in law) to change the towels when she cleaned the room. Granted no one could ever be said to envy my Greek and she knew basic English, however, she seemed to smile and acknowledge my 'towel request'. I was still left with the same manky towel. The room (particulary the bathroom) began to smell and was nauseating at times.
There is no pool at the Marina. There is also no central lobby so it can be difficult to meet other guests. The owner does not live on the premises so there is also the feeling of being left on a limb if something is wrong with the room.
One thing you should watch out for is the checking out time. When I booked the holiday I was told that I could stay in the room until I had to head to the airport for my departure flight (4:05 Saturday morning.) However, when I got to the Marina I was told we had to check out by mid day on Friday! In addition, if I wanted a room, the owner of Marina could give me a room in one of hs holiday apartments across the road for an additional 30 euros. I refused point blank and sent my last night at Angeliqa's (which was truly wonderful!)
If you are an 'Only Fools and Horses' fan, I can sum up the apartments quite easily for you. Do you remember the episode called the Jolly Boys Outing? It is where all the boys end up at a hotel called the Villa Bella - Marina is the Greek equivalent. Before you book the Marina: watch the episode.
As for the resort, it is wonderful!!! My friend and I were very upset to leave Ag. Gordis. The people are the warmest bunch you will ever come across. Food in all the restaurants are reasonabley priced. The area is also very safe and the beach is stunning and beautiful. I can throughly reccommend Alexis Restaurant as a personal favourite."
Dear Miss Asamoa, i am personally sorry for this delay email but i just discover what you wrote (on the 31/7/2010). I must tell you that for the customers of Kosmar (Xl group) the air condition was charged extra as we have a special contract with them. Also the agreement was to change bed sheets once a week and towels 3 times a week. The tv was free only the loose of the remote controls were charged. Something that until today we never do. Finally we must inform you that we are finishing the construction of a big swimming pool, and that we are living permanently in the apartments now, so you don't have the feeling of being alone!. If you read this answer i would like to invite you for 3 days in our accomodation for free. best regards and sorry for the incoveniense Giorgio Papastergiou

"My overall rating is 7/10. I have only stayed in a few hotels aboard but a good many in England. I have used self catering accommodation all over Europe.
My family consists of 2 adults and 2 teenagers.
We had a 2 bedroom apartment on the front of the building with a small veranda leading onto the garden.
The apartment was spacious with old fashioned, but lovely furniture. It was basic but we had everything we needed.
We didn't find the road noisy at all, an occasional scooter but I must admit we were out most of the days.
Boy - was it hot! We decided against the air conditioning because it seemed expensive. We then decided to use it and settle up with the owner at the end of the week. This was obviously a bad idea. The cleaner went mad and started shouting at us in Greek. It was quite difficult to explain our plan.
The matter was solved by the very helpful Kosmar rep, but I wouldn't recommend what we did to anyone. We did need the air conditioning as the front of the building gets the sun all day and the rooms were unbearable.
The resort is small and friendly and I wouldn't like it to change.
Don't go there if you want nightlife. If you want to eat nice food and wander the streets safely at night, it's the best place you could choose.
We're visiting again this summer."

"Stayed in Marina apartments August 2006 with Kosmar. Rooms quite spacious with typical old fashioned furniture. Disappointed that linen only changed once while there (14 days). Also toilet leaked and smelled (room 503). (Number confusing - only 15 or so rooms in this accommodation).
Also we were asked immediately if we wanted aircon - had to decide there and then as owner doesn't live on premises - said yes, but you may find it unnecessary - no direct sun on balcony. Close shutters when you go out and leave glass doors open - room cool when you return. Also cool enough at night.
If you are in one of the front apartments, road is noisy with scooters and 'quad safari' from Pink Palace during day but it quietens down before midnight. Resort is great. We hired a car and deliberately subjected ourselves, out of interest, to the horrors of some of the other resorts on Corfu (depending on your point of view, of course - we are both a young 54). Ag. Gordios is the only resort we would return to if we ever go back to Corfu, with the possible exception of Kalami.
The island is still beautiful but the excesses of tourism in some resorts is just ghastly. There are many places to eat in the resort - we would recommend Steven's on the Hill, the Lemon Tree and Delphi - which is where a lot of the villagers go.
The Mad Greek is good too. There's a good beach - €8 for 2 sun beds & umbrella. Avoid at all costs eating at Posidonos behind the beach. Compare their meze (€7) of 4 fish fingers and some potato balls tasting vaguely of fish, and that at the Lemon Tree (€6) for octopus, calamari, fresh sardine fillets, onion rings, olives, taramasalata, tzatziki, fries, + other stuff - enough for two for lunch.
Go see George in the supermarket (Gee Bee's) at the crossroads/bus stop. He is a star and will make your holiday, along with his English wife Angela. We recommend hiring a car - we got ours at a good price, surprisingly (?) via Kosmar rep, Andy - cheaper than anything available in village.
Good beaches nearby at Pelekas and Glyfada. Pelekas village in mountains is wonderful. Corfu town (Kerkyra) is only about 20km away and well worth a visit. It's an easy drive once you find your way around the roads, or it's only €1.80 or so on the bus. We've been to Greece many times, but we found Ag. Gordios to be one of the friendliest places we've ever stayed.
We think it's an ideal balance - plenty of tavernas, a handful of tourist shops, nothing excessive, good beach, close proximity to 'real' Corfu, friendly locals, a very memorable holiday. Our first week temperature was touching 40º, but it cooled off for 2nd week after first thunderstorm (overnight). We had a further 3 storms and an earth tremor but it was generally hot (lovely!!).
We would recommend the generally available trip to Albania - it works out quite an expensive day but it's an experience not to be missed. Wish we were back in Aghios Gordios now!!!!"
