Since I sampled my first Soap and Glory product a couple of years back and instantly fell in love with the brand, I always ensure it's at the top of Christmas list every year and this is one product I received in a gift set this year.
This normally retails for £6.50 and it is available from Boots, Amazon, eBay and Soap and Glory direct, this price is for a 250ml bottle. What I like about the range is that it is frequently has promotions running such as 3 for 2 and there are also a lot of gift sets available which offer some good savings.
The bottle is quite tall, with a slim neck; it is white in colour and topped with a silver spray top lid. To the front of the bottle is the brand in black, pink and white writing, I must admit the bottle is quite pretty looking. The fragrance is a little different to the other Soap & Glory moisturisers I have used before, this one is a mixture of peach, strawberry, jasmine, mandarin and musk, I must admit, I cannot pick out any of the notes individually however this does smell rather nice – although it is a little faint for my liking and a few hours after applying, I cannot smell on my skin anymore.
One thing that does annoy me about this is that the spray needs a bit of force to operate so after the first squirt and my hands are a little greasy; I find my hands just slip down the bottle. Having said that, I do find applying this is quite quick and the milk like fluid does absorb really easily into my skin and leaves my skin looking soft and hydrated all day long.
Overall, I quite like this however I much prefer their creams and butters so this only gets 4 out 5 stars from me.
Thanks for reading.
I have somehow managed to get two bottles of this, one is a smaller 100ml bottle which comes in the gift sets, and a friend bought me a full sized one for Christmas last year. I was planning on keeping the full sized one for use later, but my mum was checking what I had received and opened it. Thankfully, this moisturising spray does have a shelf life is 24 months after opening. I was drawn to this product though in that as this was a spray, it would be easy to use and would be handy to use after a bath/shower if I was in a hurry but wanted some extra moisture.
I may be potentially revealing my blonde side, but I didn't know whether to use this straight after the shower, like I do with a body butter or baby oil, or whether it works on dry skin. As I couldn't find any instructions on the bottle to say whether or not to use this on wet or dry skin, I tried both. When I used it on wet skin, the moisturiser slid off my skin, so I have been using it on dry skin.
I like Soap and Glory products on the whole, and I love the fresh scent that a lot of their products have. As my friend once described, Soap and Glory products on the whole smell 'clean' and I do understand what she meant by that comment. This moisturising mist is scented with a blend of bergamot, peach, strawberry, jasmine, mandarin and musk, which means that it has a really fresh, fruity scent. When I spray this, the peach is the scent that I can detect most, and disappointingly, I can't really detect the mandarin and strawberry (two of my favourite scents). I love the fresh, fruity scent of this spray and I find that the scent does really last on my skin as well, in fact, the next morning I can still detect the musky scent of this on my skin. Apparently "Sensible men have been driven to dizziness by this moisturising scented mist" but as I am currently single, this lotion hasn't helped with the man attraction (maybe I should start using this when I am on dates?). This does smell quite similar to the 'Clean on me' shower gel, so would be ideal for layering with this.
I do find that the spray on this lotion makes it easy to apply, even with wet hands, as you just spray and rub it in. It also means that you can control how much of this that you use, as you just spray it where you need most moisture. Maybe the first couple of times you use it,(as I did) you might spray too much on, but you soon get used to how much you need each time. The spray is a thin, light lotion but thankfully it's not so thin that it drips before you are able to rub it in. I also did find that it only took seconds to dry after application, so no standing around naked for 10 minutes waiting for your moisturiser to dry.
Initially, I did find that this felt slightly greasy on my skin, but the next morning, it had soaked in and left behind slightly softer feeling skin. I don't like that slightly greasy feeling that I get with some moisturisers, with this one, I did feel the difference in my skin.
This costs £6.50 from Boots but often on a three for two, which means you can stock up for less. Boots also kindly send me vouchers every new months for extra points when I buy Soap and Glory so it's another incentive for me to buy more. The range is also stocked at Harvey Nichols and at time of writing, it is on sale on the website for £5.20.
Soap and Glory only test on humans, not animals (though I do have to ask the question, how do I volunteer my services as a tester?).
I do like this spray, but it wouldn't be something that I would buy myself, as I don't really need additional moisture most of the time, as my skin tends to be on the oily side. If you suffer from dry skin though, I think this would be ideal. I will probably use up the two bottles, as I hate wastage, but if I received any more bottles, they may be donated to the charity shop - might sound awful as after all, I appreciate any gifts, but I'm sure that others love this it's just not perfect for me.
I am usually a fan of the thicker body creams that are available and would not have chosen to purchase this myself, but received it as part of a set as a gift. At first glance, the packaging is lovely as with all Soap and Glory products - a nice sleek canister with a witty name emblazoned stylishly on the front, and a feminine pink lid. The product has a spray nozzle which you depress to get a mist of moisturiser.
The nozzle depresses very easily and dispenses a good amount of product - you get plenty to apply to your skin but not so much that you end up running out of places to put it. The consistency is liquid with a slight oiliness to it, but not greasy. I found that the flirtigo mist soaks in to skin nicely with a little gentle rubbing, and leaves a nice sheen to the skin. It doesn't feel greasy and didn't transfer onto clothing. The fragrance of this product is similar to other Soap and Glory products - light and fresh with a hint of fruitiness to it without being overpowering.
After use I felt that my skin looked lovely and had a real glow without looking as though a lot of product had been applied (in other words the effect was quite natural). I didn't feel as though my skin had been deeply moisturised but it felt smooth and soft. I think this product is probably not one for everyday use (especially in winter when a thicker moisturiser is required) but is a nice product to apply before a special event to give a healthy glow. It is very easy to use and apply quickly without mess, and it did seem to last a while. I think this is a nice alternative to a body oil - it gives the same sort of finish to the skin without the greasiness.
Soap and Glory's Flirtigo spray-on body moisturising mist was one of the first products I used from Soap and Glory and I have had a few bottles since, all of which I have received in gift sets.
~ Packaging ~
It comes in a white plastic bottle, which is tall and thin narrowing at the top. There is a spray dispenser pump on the top and a clear plastic lid sits over the top of it.
The front of the bottle has a pink cloud shape with, 'Soap and Glory Flirtigo 100ml' written in.
Underneath there is a pink rectangle with the words, 'spray-on body moisturising mist' and there are white stars, which surround the round pink Soap & Glory logo underneath.
All of the writing on the bottle is quite small.
On the back are the directions, 'Do your own flirty work: Spritz Flirtigo on all-over post shower for temptingly fragrant, softer, smoother, more supple skin.'
Below this are a list of ingredients, company address and website address in much smaller writing.
~ In use ~
Soap and Glory products have their own unique scent. There is a sweetness to it, without it smelling cheap, but it also has a slightly sharper floral scent. I really like the scent.
The body mist is really nice to use.
If you hold the bottle close to your skin when you are spraying it I find that quite a lot comes out onto your skin. You can even see a thin white coloured liquid on your skin and it needs to be rubbed in or else your skin is left feeling wet and sticky.
If you hold the bottle about 40cm from your skin when spraying it, there is space for a much lighter mist to develop and it hits your skin as a fine mist, but it does feel like you are wasting quite a bit of the mist this way as a lot of it falls to the floor as it disperses.
It has that lovely distinctive Soap and Glory scent and it feels as though it is helping to refresh, hydrate and moisturise my skin.
It rubs into my skin easily without leaving behind any residue, but the sweet scent does linger on my skin for a few hours after spraying.
I used to carry a bottle of this around in my handbag and use it to freshen up and rehydrate my skin during the day, but one day it leaked all over my bag so I always just use it at home now.
~ Price and availability ~
My bottle of Flirtigo is 100ml and was from a gift set, but the full size 250ml bottle is available to buy from Boots for £6.50.
I think this is quite expensive for what it is and although I like the product and enjoy using it I don't think I would buy it for myself at this price.
Soap and Glory products are often on 3 for 2 offers, but they wouldn't have to be if they were priced appropriately in the first place. While I do think their scrubs are well worth the asking price,I don't think, for me, a moisturising mist by any brand would be worth paying so much for. I have used similar products in the past that only cost £1.00.
~ Conclusion ~
This is a nice moisturising body mist, with a lovely sweet scent.
It makes my skin feel refreshed and hydrated. It sinks into my skin quickly and the scent lingers on my skin for a few hours.
I do enjoy using this moisturising mist, but I think at £6.50 for 250ml, it is quite expensive and although I feel some Soap and Glory products are great and are worth the money, I don't think this moisturising mist is worth paying so much for.
Soap & Glory Flirtigo Body Moisturising Mist
This was another one of my items from the Soap and Glory gift set
=The Packaging=
This follows the retro theme of the Soap and Glory range, but has a pale pink colour, and has the most amazing retro 50s style photo on the front of the bottle.
This is at first hard to describe, it is not a perfume, nor is it a body spray, but an in between of a mist, light, and delicate.
=Skin Freshener=
The mist just sprays easily and can be used as a freshener, it is lighter than a body butter, but not as heavy duty, as once sprayed to the skin it gives a lovely sheen, and if you have used any previous products, such as shower gel, bubble bath or butter this further enhances the smell of the soap and glory fragrance.
The spray has a mixture of bergamot, peach, strawberry, musk and mandarin, although the musk is generally a heavy smell, when it is combined with these fragrances, it just falls into place and no fragrance tries to overtake the others.
Although mine was within the set, this can be purchased for around £5 from most Boots Stores.
=Would I recommend=
I would highly recommend this spray, as I find it is dual action, from a mist to give my skin a little treat, through to using this as a perfume for days when I want some perfume on, but not a strong fragrance, just something that is light enough to be there,
This is a nice product that comes in a pretty bottle and smells lovely but I'm not quite sure what to use it for. It is like a watery moisturiser that you spray on your skin and then rub it in to leave your skin feeling softer.
However, I don't feel this is thick enough to use as a moisturiser but is too heavy to use as a body spray. I didn't think it absorbed very well and didn't really help my skin (although my skin is quite dry).
It did smell beautiful and flowery but I didn't think the scent lasted very long, which again makes me feel it can't really be used as a fragrance.
To me this product is just an added bit of faffing when i come out of the shower. My beauty routine already takes long enough without adding this into it as I would still have to use a moisturiser and I just don't think this is worth the price.
Flirtigo or Girligo as it is now know, is a spray on body moisturising mist with fragrance that men will love - according to S&G, anyway! It is basically a mix of a moisturiser and a body spray and is available from Boots or Ebay priced at £6.50 for 100ml.
The liquid comes in a spray bottle which is contoured which helps with application of this. The liquid comes out in a light watery mist which is easily rubbed in and absorbed into the skin. Around 4 sprays is needed per limb, on my body. The fragrance of this is quite strong (those with asthma or respiratory problems, I would probably avoid this) - I'm not sure if it lives up to its claim of being able to attract men, but it does smell nice! It doesn't smell a typical synthetic body product, it actually smells like a decent perfume and the musky tones are very noticeable. When using this after showering, an additional perfume or body spray is not needed as this would result is a bizarre mix of scents, so I would avoid this if you like to wear perfume on a daily basis!
The mist is lightly moisturising, obviously due to the nature of this product it isn't overly conditioning but it is suitable for everyday use. Because of this I wouldn't recommend this to people with dry skin, or who prefer a more nourishing body cream. My skin does still feel moisturised at the end of the day, after using this, and the fragrance is still vaguely noticeable.
The mist doesn't leave my skin sticky or tacky and I am able to dress straight away after using this. I have never experienced any skin irritations whilst using this.
Overall, this is a nice, slightly different product. I am not sure it worth £6.50, however, but I would purchase this again if I saw it on offer. I recommend this to those who like fragranced, light moisturisers.
4 Stars due to the price
Some people may have now found that I am a bit of a fan of all things bath and body. To continue in my search for the best products I tend to buy gift sets, which give me the opportunity to often test a number of products at a collectively reduced price. I had purchased the Soaper Heros gift set, a collection of some of Soap and Glory's best products, contained in the set was a 100 ml bottle of Girligo, a new name for the product formerly known as Flirtigo.
*** A Little About Soap and Glory***
This doesn't seem to be too well known, but Soap and Glory is created by the same person (Marcia) that released the Bliss Spa products, which are about three times the price of Soap and Glory! She wanted to create a range that was more affordable, but still with the Bliss Spa philiosophy, with the idea that 'you shouldn't have to spend an arm and a leg to moisturise one.'
From small beginnings focusing on bath and shower products, Soap and Glory's range now encompasses make up, perfume, skincare and haircare. Soap and Glory have gone to receive cult status due to their retro and kitsch packaging, fab smelling products and entertaining strap lines.
*** Packaging - Good to go? ***
As previously mentioned, I own the 100 ml bottle of the spray which can be purchased separately, a 250 ml bottle is also available. The larger bottle comes in a card box with a retro design with photos of a glamourous woman most likely from the 1950s/ 1960s. The smaller bottle comes without the box, but has the same curved retro shape. The bottle itself is white plastic, but it is not super opaque, so you can see how much spray you have left, when you hold the product up to the light. Like I had previously stated in the Mist You Madly, the slightly unadventurous bottle and sticker does cheapen the look of the product slightly, and is slightly uninspiring compared to most of their other products.
However, more important to me is not the look of the packaging, but if it makes the product easy to use. The 100 ml bottle is small enough to fit in a handbag, making it great for travel. The product is a non-pressurised spray. To prevent the spray going everywhere, there is a securely fitting clear plastic lid that firs over the spray itself. The bottle is easy to grip, and the spray itself operates smoothly to dispense a fine mist of product.
*** Is the scent suitably girly/ flirty as the name would suggest? ***
The scent is certainly young and fruity, to try and give an idea of what the spray smells like I have included the list of notes from Soap and Glory's page, and is the same as their original pink range.
Top Notes
Bergamot and Peach
Heart Notes
Strawberry and Jasmine
Base Notes
Mandarin and Musk
I personally find the notes quite hard to distinguish, particularly when compared to the Mist You Madly spray. However for me the peach and strawberry definitely stand out, I can also detect that there is something other than just fruit which may be a combination of the jasmine and/ or the musk, but I can't identify whether that is due to the jasmine, the musk or both. Soap and Glory give the impression with giving top, heart and base notes, that the scent develops over time, which it does slightly, becoming less of the strawberry and peach, but by the time this is noticeable the whole scent has just faded into a fruity-floral musk.
The scent doesn't last as long as the other spray, Mist you Madly on my skin, I would say the scent is no longer noticeable after 45 minutes to an hour. Neither do I feel like this spray projects as well as Mist You Madly.
*** Moisturising Properties ***
The main reason I love this product is the convenience, a quick spray and rub in, means I can top up on my moisturiser throughout the day. In fact I normally keep this in a gym/ swim bag, so I can quickly rehydrate my skin after exercise. The product makes moisturising, quick, easy and relatively mess free.
When spraying the product onto the skin it has a similar colour and consistency to milk. It is thin and is easily absorbed into the skin. The skin on my limbs does feel softer, however it is nowhere near as moisturising as a body lotion or body butter, so I prefer to use this to top - up, rather than my main moisturising product. If i was to use this as my main moisturiser, I would probably want to top up every three to four hours to keep my skin soft and supple.
I have currently used a third of my bottle, I have been using it on my limbs once to twice a week, over the past six weeks. Compared to my bottle of Mist You Madly, I did find I needed a lot more product per application, so for me as just a spray, this isn't as economical.
*** Price, Availability and Other Products ***
Soap and Glory can be found in stores at Boots and Harvey Nichols, as well as online at ASOS, and I have always found this product easy to find in stores.
The price for a 250 ml bottle is £6.38, or £3.11 for the 100 ml, this making the 250 ml slightly better value.
Other products to go with this scent, the original pink range, are hard to identify, but I have always found them easy to find in stores. These include:
Clean On Me Shower Gel - a sweeter, more perfumed spray than Girliglo, but an exceptionally popular product that has one best shower gel by a number of beauty awards voted by readers.
The Righteous Butter - Smells like Clean on Me and has won countless awards, in my opinion, it is every bit as good as those rewards claim it to be.
Eau de Soap and Glory Number One - This can be a little harder to find, I have never owned it, but I have tested it and it smells very nice and fits in with the range well.
*** Recommended? ***
I would recommend this fun and fruity mist. Particularly if you find it hard to get into a good moisturising routine, or your skin needs a quick moisture boost throughout the day. However trying to satisfy both camps of body spray and moisturiser I feel that the product lacks a bit in both of these areas, so I'm deducting one star.
This review is also posted on Ciao under the same username.
Another S&G item found in the xmas box on offer in Boots last year.
The product is in typical S&G style. I have the travel size which is perfect for handbags and suitcases. The bottle is easy to hold when squirting (some bottles need two hands but this one doesn't).
The product is a moisturising body mist. I don't normally go for products such as these as my skin borders on the dry and I find thicker creams are more effective.
I use by spraying on and rubbing in, the mist leaves your skin with a little glow so the appearance of your skin is immediately improved. It also isn't greasy so it wont mark your clothes or mess up longer hair. The scent is nice and subtle so if you don't want to wear perfume, this is pleasant enough.
However, as a moisturiser, I would not recommend it as your only moisturiser as I think every skin needs something a little more intense. As a one off for occasions where you are pushed for time and you don't have time to wait for moisturiser to be absorbed before dressing, then this is a reasonable product. I probably wouldn't advise that you bring it as a replacement for your normal moisturiser on holiday when your skin may be drier from the sun in any event. It would be good as a top up to give a skin an extra sheen
For christmas this year I received a whole santa sack full of soap&glory products and one of my favourite has got to be the girligo body mist. It's a really innovative product from soap&glory and really stands out from its other products for numerous reasons. Obviously, due to me receiving this product as a gift, I have had to do some research of my own to find out the price to see if this product really is worth it.
Owing to the fact that the mist came as part of a set I did not receive the tall cardboard box packaging as it came in a plastic packaging which housed the whole set. The actual bottle itself is a really modern, sleek shape so it looks excellent on my dressing table along with my makeup and perfume bottles etc. The bottle is a squeezy plastic material making it durable. It has a squirty nosel and a plastic opague lid. The design of the bottle itself, is again really modern and funky; typical of soap&glory products. My body mist came in a 100ml bottle, I still have over half the product left and received it at christmas and I do use it a lot so I think the size is perfect.
The mist itself is highly perfumed and it lasts for hours; the smell is really pleasant. It isn't sticky in substance and can be easily removed with water. It is transparent on the skin and adds a perfect sheen. This product can be used as a substitute for perfume, to freshen up a day to night look, to be used as a hair product to make your hair smell fragranced and also can be used on freshly tanned legs/arm/chest to add shine before a bit night out. Thw added shine to the skin makes the skin look really healthy as it gives the skin a glow.
The mist also doubles up a moisturiser, so as well as making you smell good it makes you feel good also. Your skin is left really soft even after removal of the mist.
As previously stated I did some research into the price of the product. At Boots this product retails for £6.38 which I think is a great price considering some perfumes are £30-£40! I would definitely recommend this product to a friend as it is really girly and unique and has dual advantages. I award this product 5 stars.
Over the months that I have been using dooyoo, I've realised that Soap and Glory is extremely popular amongst a lot of users! So when I discovered half a bottle of Flirtigo sitting forgotten in the back of a drawer, I thought I must start using it again and write a review!
The most noticeable thing about Soap and Glory products is the packaging. They are all pale cream and pink, with a fun retro look and feel. Lots of the products have dodgy puns in the names, such as Clean On Me shower gel and The Greatest Scrub of All exfoliator. The products can be found in Boots, Harvey Nichols and on asos.com, and are mid-range in price. And you can get everything from perfumes and lip gloss to face wash and body butters.
My review is for Flirtigo, which is a spray-on moisturising mist. I got the product a year or so ago as part of a gift set, and it comes in a 100ml bottle. But I think the full size bottle is 250ml and is about £6 or so in Boots.
As with the whole range the bottle looks cute. It's slim and slinky and is very simply illustrated. The back claims the the mist will leave skin fragrant, softer, smoother and more supple.
The product has a cap on the top, covering a simple pump action spray. As you press the spray, the mist is very light and fine. If you spray the product on up-close, it leaves a slight film of cream on your skin, which is a little watery but is incredibly easy to rub in. and if you spray from a little further away, you barely need to run the spray in at all as it gently coats your skin in a fine mist of the product.
After use it definitely leaves skin feeling a lot softer and moisturised - but I would say the affects are similar to that of a light lotion than a richer body butter.
But the very best thing about this product is the smell, which is simply gorgeous. The product contains a blend of bergamot, peach, strawberry, jasmine, mandarin, so it's obviously quite a fruity smell, but a little musky too and just delicious. The scent lingers really nicely on the skin, and I would say you definitely do not need to use a perfume afterwards.
I am so glad I rediscovered this product. It is fun and easy to use, and it smells wonderful. It makes me want to stock up on a few more Soap and Glory products too, so no doubt I'll be checking out a few other reviews on here soon!
I would also recommend checking out the company's website which is lots of fun - and full of temptation!
I have had a bottle of Flirtigo sitting on my dresser for ages. That by no means makes it a bad product though! Flirtigo is a moisturisng mist in a spray bottle and its a really cunning idea from the makers of soap & glory, its just not something I like to use everyday.
Flirtigo comes in the usual soap and glory pink 50's style. What I love about this product is that it comes in a box. I know some people will think that this is a waste of packaging but I think it makes it seem much more expensive and stylish. I also like the fact that alot of the writing and soap & glory witt is saved for the box, where as the bottle inside looks simple and stylish and doesnt look too out of place alongside my perfume bottles.
I just had a quick look on boots to see how much this product cost (as I said I have had mine along time) and it looks like its names been changed to girligo. To investigate further I had a quick rumage through the hatbox I bought myself before christmas and found a small bottle of girligo. I had a quick spritz and as far as I can tell its exactly the same. No idea why they changed the name but a 250ml bottle of girligo will set you back 6.00. Whether girligo is available to buy individually in travel sized bottles I'm not sure but they do appear in the gift sets!
The box claims that flirtigo is scented with a mix of 'bergamot, peach, strawberry, jasmine, mandarin and musk'. Now in my opinion thats alot of smells to mix together and with that combination you would think it would smell flowery and fruity. However, to me it smells pretty much the same as the other pink soap & glory range there might be something slightly different about it, but not enough to be noticeable.
The back of the bottle says 'do your own flirty work: spritz flirtigo on all-over post shower for temptingly fragrant, sofrt, smoother more supple skin' Quite a big claim for just a moisturising mist. The bottle is right in saying to use it straight after a shower. I find this is when it works best. After you have had a shower just hold away from you a little bit and spritz all over, letting a fine moisturising mist descend on to your skin. I must admit one thing....the fact its a spray makes it really handy for moisturising your back!
Flirtigo is definitely for the more lazy soles out there and I think soap & glory have hit on a bit of a niche market as we all love a shortcut from time to time! Flirtigo is perfect to use straight out the shower so you can have soft skin without the hassle of sitting down with a tub of moisturiser all the time. Aftert using Flirtigo, my skin feels noticeably softer, though not quite as soft as a normal moisturiser. The flirtigo smell also stays on your skin for quite a long time after spraying it which is really nice. Personally, I use this when I really cant be bothered or when I happen to notice it on my dresser after a shower. Though if I do the latter, I must admit I will still end up using a normal moisturiser aswell later on to make my skin extra soft. I find flirtigo to be a nice way to spritz myself before a night out knowing I have moisturised my skin and of course it helps makes me smell extra nice!
The only issue I have with Flirtigo is that if you spray it too close to your skin you can end up with too much moisturising mist leaving a puddle on your arm and then having to rub it in. When this happens I end up with my skin feeling a little sticky and greasy. Its not really a pleasent feeling and none of the other soap & glory moisturisers do this! However, used at just short of arms length and making sure it does reach your skin as a mist it does work really well.
I think for its purpose it works well and when I am feeling lazy its nice to know I've moisturised with very little effort. However, I dont think its a good substitute for day to day moisturising, its just not quite the same. I personally dont find it does much good on any tough areas such as elbows. Thats why the bottle I bought ages ago isnt even half empty yet - which I guess is a good thing as it makes it very good value for money for me!
Overall, if you're lazy with your moisturising then this product is for you. Even if you get lazy from time to time its handy to just have a little bottle of this lying around as it does moisturise well and it is nice to spritz on your skin before a night out. However, I wont be throwing away my normal moisturiser to make way for flirtigo anytime soon!
For Christmas i recieved this as part of a soap and glory gift set and i have just been to Boots to buy the full sized version. It as on special offer for £3.99 so every better!
I love this product, it's great that its a spray as i hate squeezing moisturiser out of bottles then it gets all crusty round the top! Discusting i know!
This smells great and isnt too thick or greasy. Its in a cute bottle and i love the quirky slogans on the box. This is the first product i have bought from soap and glory and it definetly wont be the last. It reminds me of benefit skincare however at a fraction of the price!
Overall i would say its a lovely smelling fun and pleasurable product to use. Also with all soap and glory 1/3 off at boots just now i would buy it now!
I am a huge soap and glory fan, and stocked up on all sorts of products in gift sets this Christmas to use throughout the year. One of the products I didn't manage to find in any gift sets this year was this, the Soap and Glory Flirtigo Body Moisturising Mist. Luckily I had collected so many Boots points over Christmas that I could purchase this with my points, and not even feel like I was splashing out on things. The product cost approximately 6.10 which used up 6.10 in points.
The product comes in a pink box (which is of course recyclable). The box is decorated in traditional Soap and Glory packaging, very funky and cool. The product claims to be a spray which moisturises and adds fragrance to you. My skin suffers from being quite dry, so if this product could solve that and help me smell nice too it would be a big bonus.
Inside the box is a plastic spray bottle, which I am very pleased to say is also recyclable. The mist sprays easily, with a simple pump action onto my skin. I used my normal moisturiser first, then sprayed this on before I put my clothes on. It has an added advantage over moisturiser, which often takes ages to soak in, and can end up marking your clothes.
The product felt nice on my skin, and certainly didnt irritate it or make it itchy. It had a classic soft Soap and Glory scent, which I find a bit almondy with hints of bergamont. It soaked into my skin nice and quickly, which makes it great as a quick spray on before you go out type of product. If left my skin feeling very soft and silky whcih showed it had definitely softened it. It is also worth mentioning that Soap and Glory do not test on animals.
This is a great product, its a funky, easy to use, two in one. It smells nice and moisturises, and all at a reasonable price. What more could you want from Soap and Glory?

Mount Washington resident Benny Hill recently pulled something unusual from his garden—a two and a half-foot banana cantaloupe.
Even more unusual than the cantaloupe itself was how it was grown.
The seventy-seven year-old spent weeks nurturing the cantaloupe on his 14-acre property on Ellis Cook Road intravenously.

Pacers get: Larry sanders, #28, #30
Bulls get : Rush, #42
Bucks get: #15
Larry Sanders will be better than what we could get out of the number 15 pick. He's 6'11 and has a 7'7 wingspan. He's a rebounder and shotblocker first and foremost. #28 and #30 gives us a chance to get Reggie Jackson, Jeremy Tyler, Darius Morris, Jajuan Johnson, etc. who will be really solid players in this league. Chicago and Rush would be a perfect match and also get a second rounder.

Starbucks® Decaf Pike Place® Roast, Ground
From our first store in Seattle's Pike Place Market to our coffeehouses around the world, customers requested a freshly brewed decaffeinated coffee they could enjoy throughout the day. So in 2008 our master blenders and roasters created it for you, a blend so consistent and harmonious that no single characteristic dominates—or disappears. A smooth, well-rounded blend of Latin American coffees with subtly rich flavors of cocoa and toasted nuts, it's perfect for every day.
Pike Place is a registered trademark of The Pike Place Market PDA, used under license.
A Better Cup
We're committed to ethically sourcing and roasting the highest-quality arabica coffee in the world. When we buy coffee this way, it fosters a better future for farmers, and a more stable climate for the planet. It also helps create a long-term supply of the high-quality beans we've been carefully blending, roasting and packing fresh for more than 40 years.
Balanced, Smooth & Rich
Recipe for great coffee
- Use cold, filtered water and a clean machine.
- Grind beans just before brewing:
- Coarse for coffee press
- Medium for automatic drip
- Measure 2 tbsp (10 g) ground coffee for every 6 fl oz (180 ml) water.
To help preserve that fresh flavor, keep this bag sealed tight in a cabinet (not in the refrigerator) and brew within a week of opening.
Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
- Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
- Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
- Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.

Wrestlemania 29 - A List of Unlikely Possibilities
by, 01-07-2013 at 01:10 PM (6912 Views)
Hello all, after being a visitor to this site for a good while now, I thought it was about time I became a member and posted an article on here. Given that the Royal Rumble is only a few weeks away, and the Road to Wrestlemania quickly follows that, I thought I would write about some of the things that I would like to see happen at this year's Wrestlemania. Now, before I start, let me warn you, these are merely just ideas, with no back ground info on how to properly build up to said matches. So, with that said…
I shall start with the most important match on the card, and the surrounds the WWE Title. I can't see anyone other than CM Punk holding this come Wrestlemania as I don't think the WWE will give it to The Rock given his part time schedule. To me there are only three possibilities as to who CM Punk will face by the time he reaches the MetLife Stadium on April 7th, he will either be squared off against John Cena; The Rock; or what is seeming most likely at this point, the both of them in a Triple threat. If I had the casting vote in deciding which of the 3 outcomes became reality I would go with CM Punk facing John Cena for the WWE Title. The reason I would go for this is because I think it's the biggest rivalry within this era of WWE. It began with CM Punk delivering his most memorable pipebomb, which culminated to their match at the Money in the Bank pay per view. For me, this match needs to happen as it would vindicate the WWE; vindication with regards to showing that at the Grandest Stage of them all, they didn't throw away one of their main attraction matches to that of a foregone conclusion, because every man and his dog knows The Rock won't be round for more than 2 weeks after 7th April so it would be, in my opinion pretty dumb to have him fight for something we know he won't keep for too long.
Now, by reading the last line just above you could probably interpret that as if I have a problem with The Rock, which I don't – not in the slightest. I think it's great to see him come back again; he is without doubt the most the biggest star that the wwe has ever produced. With that said, I just don't want to see him have a title match at Wrestlemania 29, but that's not to say he still can't have a marquee fight. I have thought about this one for a while, now while it would seem obvious that if The Rock wasn't to be involved in a title match the next best thing to have him do is face Brock Lesnar, but given the way Brock has been booked on his return to the WWE I can't see how that match could take place. So whilst Brock would be the perceived easier option, I thought I'd propose a slightly ambitious option of having The Rock go for something which many people would consider bigger that a title match… The Undertaker's Undefeated Streak at Wrestlemania. Granted the chances of this happening are as big as Santino becoming WWE Champion, but in theory it could work very well, there is no need for a long drawn out build up; no need for either of them to be involved each week on Raw leading up to Wrestlemania 29; just have The Rock come out and say he wants to do two things he has never done before: face, and defeat the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Obviously his promo would need to be beefed up a bit more than that, but I'll leave that to the "professionals" within WWE's Creative Department.
Now on to Brock and how I think he will be used at Wrestlemania 29, which should take all of about 1 further sentence to clear up; I can't see any other possibility other than he and Triple H squaring off again, which is not bad thing in my books. So that would be three marquee main event matches, CM Punk – John Cena, The Rock – Undertaker and Brock – Hunter which on the face of it looks very appealing, if a tad unrealistic. So what comes before the main event I hear you say? Well let me focus on those who could, but more importantly should have a spot on the card. First and foremost, Daniel Bryan. Given that at his first Wrestlemania he was bumped down to the pre-show card, and after last year's 18 second Title defense debacle, it is only fair that Daniel Bryan is at least given a meaningful spot on the card and I don't mean have him and Kane defending the Tag Titles. I personally would like to see Bryan challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship, and if I had the choice of choosing his opponent for that match, it would be against The Show Off himself Dolph Ziggler. Again, this idea seems very farfetched, and there are a lot of things that need to happen for this to fall into place, but in simplistic terms: have Bryan win the Rumble; and let Dolph cash in either at the Rumble or EC. Dolph would be another person that deserves a chance to shine on the biggest stage, he has been far the most watchable person on Raw / Smackdown for a long time now (though the addition of AJ and Big E Langston seem to be detracting from him – maybe it's just my dislike for AJ, but I'll leave that subject for another day).
One of the main things I'd like to see happen, but in keeping with the rest of the articles, has very little chance of coming to fruition is the return of Money in the Bank. MITB has the ability to make new stars, whilst maintaining the spotlight on those who find themselves with very little to do leading up to XXIX: case in point Mike: and wwes pursuit of trying to turn him face. I have missed seeing the MITB match in previous Wrestlemania's, and think it's absence helped detract from those shows.
Possible entrants: (8 out of the following)
Kofi; Christian; Rey; Evan Bourne; Del Rio; The Miz; Damien Sandow; Cody Rhodes; Justin Gabriel; Randy Orton and possibly, but very, very unlikely, John Morrison
Well, those are just some of the things that I'd like to see at this year's Wrestlemania and I'll be very surprised if any of them actually occur, but in the land of the WWE you never actually know.
N.B. On an unrelated note, as a WWE fan based in the UK, the one wish that I do have, is the possibility of holding an annual pay per view on these shores. While I'm not asking for one of the Big 4 to be shipped across the Atlantic Ocean I think it would make good sense on the WWE's part to bring at least on ppv over, considering that their bi-annual tours are always well received in these parts.
So, thanks for reading and feel free to leave any comments, good, bad or indifferent at the bottom. Cheerio!

THE Taliban in Pakistan have said they want to negotiate a ceasefire, in a video statement by their leader, Hakimullah Mehsud.
The video, delivered to Reuters in Pakistan on Friday, is the latest in a series of statements in recent days stating that the group want a peace deal - though they refuse to disarm.
Military and civilian authorities in Pakistan have repeatedly reached agreements with militants, most of which were short lived.
Experts have dismissed the latest statements as ''posturing''. Imtiaz Gul, an Islamabad-based author and expert, said the Taliban were mounting an ''orchestrated campaign to improve [their] image'' following three high-profile attacks in Peshawar.
This month several suicide bombers struck at the northern city's airport, a senior provincial politician was killed in a bombing, and on Thursday 22 paramilitary soldiers were kidnapped.
''They feel they have the upper hand. They have been trying to improve their image for some time through less indiscriminate attacks on ordinary people and more targeted assassinations or attacks on the police, paramilitary [forces] or politicians,'' Mr Gul said.
The Taliban are a coalition of groups founded in 2007 who have since been responsible for the deaths of thousands of Pakistani civilians, police and servicemen.
They have been linked to at least two international terrorist plots but have yet to show any serious commitment to exporting militancy beyond their immediate neighbourhood.
In a letter distributed to local news media this week, another commander of the Taliban demanded that Pakistan rewrite its laws and constitution to conform with Islamic law, break its unpopular alliance with the United States, stop interfering in the war in Afghanistan, and instead focus on India to seek revenge for Pakistan's defeat in the 1971 war with its neighbour. The demands seemed designed to appeal to popular local sentiment.
There is increasing evidence that the Taliban's hold on communities along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan has weakened since the murder of elders, teachers and health workers. Their extreme violence has revolted many ordinary Pakistanis.
However, senior police officials in Pakistan say the Taliban retain a network of active militants and supporters around the country, despite pressure from counter-terrorism agencies and the army, and attacks from US drones.
In the Punjab, the eastern province, the movement had been able to forge ad-hoc links with fragmented sectarian groups or freelance operators who had split away from bigger organisations that were under close watch by intelligence agencies, the officials said.
There was no immediate response from Pakistani authorities to the video.
Mehsud blamed the Pakistani government for the violence along the frontier with Afghanistan, and said his movement would follow the strategic lead of the Afghan Taliban after most NATO troops withdrew from the neighbouring country in 2014.
He reaffirmed his organisation's support for al-Qaeda, much of whose remaining senior leadership is believed to be in Pakistan.
''We are Afghan Taliban and Afghan Taliban are us,'' he said. ''We are with them and al-Qaeda. We are even willing to get our heads cut off for al-Qaeda.''
Western intelligence experts say the exact nature of the movement's relationship with the group founded by Osama bin Laden in the 1980s is unclear, but unlikely to be as close as Mehsud claims, with links based on individual relationships between senior militants rather than organisational alliances. But any increased involvement of the Pakistani militants in Afghanistan or with international networks would complicate Western strategy in the region. GUARDIAN

TRANMERE Rovers chairman Peter Johnson says he thinks he has found the right person to become the new owner of the club.
Mr Johnson says he expects to be able to make an announcement within a couple of weeks and that he is "quite confident" a deal will be completed.
He said: "It's very important we find the right people.
"I've had to find someone who loves the club and the fans can trust and I think I've done that now.
"We expect to make an announcement fairly soon, within a couple of weeks I would think.
"They're a bit younger than I am, they've got the money and I'm satisfied the fans will be able to trust them."
The club up for sale since 2002.
Tranmere Rovers Supporters' Trust recently staged a public fundraising campaign to try to raise cash for a takeover, but failed to hit their £250,000 target.
Mr Johnson said he expected the deal to go through "in about two weeks" but nothing was yet certain.
The club's assistant manager John McMahon said news of a new owner will end a period of uncertainty.
During a press conference at Prenton Park on Monday, he said: "It's good that something seems finally to be happening, because there's been a lot of uncertainty around here.
"It's difficult to keep up with the rumours that are going around.
"People speculate and make assumptions on who's to take over, when they're going to take over, how they're going to take over.
"Fingers crossed it will perhaps help settle people down. A change of owner will also lift morale of fans.
"But until the deal's been signed and sealed, we'll wait and see what the targets are."

If trees could talk and we could listen, would we be wiser? The Forest History Society believes that we must understand the history of forests and their people in order to shape the future of people and their forests.
This 11-module, middle school curriculum gives teachers the opportunity to download social studies activities that are based upon archival materials. The centerpiece of each module is a compilation of primary resources--documents, maps, newspaper articles, oral histories or photographs--from which students will be asked to gather, examine, and analyze information, and synthesize insights.
If Trees
Could Talk was produced
by the Forest History Society in collaboration with Duke University's
Nicholas School of the Environment, North Carolina State University, Project
Learning Tree, and the North Carolina Forestry Association. Funding
was provided by the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources and
the USDA Forest Service through the Urban & Community Forestry Grant
Program; the Laird Norton Endowment Foundation; the Bradley/Murphy Forestry
& Natural Resources Extension Trust, the Weyerhaeuser Family Foundation, and the U.S. Forest Service.
Trees Could Talk is correlated to National History and Social
Studies Standards, as well as individual state standards. The
curriculum also meets the indicators for the Guidelines
for Excellence developed by the North American Association for Environmental
Education (NAAEE).

Just got our annual report from Rocky Mountain Power's Blue Sky Program. We purchased 195,600 kilowatt-hours of wind power in 2011. We avoided 234,403 lbs of CO2 release which is the equivalent of 238,329 miles not driven or 2,756 trees planted. It turns out that we actually used 203,366 kilowatt-hours so we missed our 100% goal and ended up at 96.2% wind.
We are making that up right now by purchasing extra blocks to overshoot 2012 usage and get back to 100% wind power overall.
If you are interested in Blue Sky for you home or business check it out at http://www.rockymountainpower.net/bluesky [1] It really isn't that expensive overall and goes a long way to helping keep our air clean. The Beer Nut and Bayou are determined to maintaining a 100% renewable power program.

Capital Preservation, Businesses Life Blood
If They Were Called Instrumented Capital Preservation Systems Instead of Safety Instrumented Systems, Every CEO Would Insist the Company Invest in Them
By Dave Harrold
Those who ignore history tend to repeat it, says the old adage. No doubt thats true, yet we continue to ignore the message.
For more than four decades the chemical industry has talked about process safety management (PSM), created sophisticated ways and means to identify and analyze risks, developed quantified probability statistics, implemented multiple layers of protective procedures and systems, and yet serious incidents continue to kill and injure people.
Ignoring the past
During the 1970s and 1980s a series of chemical incidents occurred that are so legendary that they are often referenced by the nearby city: Flixborough (1974), Seveso (1976), Mexico City and Bhopal (1984). These were catastrophic incidents that awakened the world to chemical industry risks and each has been summarized in Lees Loss Prevention in the Process Industry (Sam Mannan, ed., © 2005, Elsevier.)
Despite some of these incidents occurring as many as three decades ago, the errors and root causes that led to these accidents still exist today. Process safety guru Trevor Kletz discusses this problem in his book, Lessons from Disaster: How Organizations Have No Memory and Accidents Recur, (© 1993, Institution of Chemical Engineers, Rugby, U.K.). Kletz discusses with significant detail numerous incidents that were examined, documented, and the results openly shared, only to have a nearly duplicate incident occur at a different facility just a few years later. Kletzs findings reveal that organizations tend to have poor memories resulting from such factors as insufficient failure investigation, inadequate communication and distribution of investigation findings, lack of information retention and little training concerning previous plant, company and industry near misses and incidents.
A recent example of how those who ignore history tend to repeat it occurred on March 23, 2005, at BPs Texas City facility, where 15 people died and more than 170 were seriously injured.
Since that 2005 explosion, numerous committees have examined the Texas City incident, and their findings have been made public. Among these are the Mogford Report, the Stanley Report and BPs Management Accountability Report.
There is also The Baker Panel Report, a 347-page document prepared by an 11-member panel chaired by former secretary of state James A. Baker III. (For a copy of the report, go to www.csb.gov/completed_investigations/docs/Baker_panel_report.pdf.)
Issued in January 2007, the Baker Panel Report was prepared as a result of urgings from the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB, www.chemsafety.gov/) for BP to commission an independent study of all of its U.S. refineries.
In the report, the panel said that BP failed to provide "effective" leadership to make the safety of its industrial equipment "a core value" at its five U.S. refineries. In other words, BP did not foster and embrace a robust safety culture.
In March 2007, CSB issued its own 341-page report about the Texas City incident. (See www.chemsafety.gov/index.cfm?folder=completed_investigations&page=info&INV_ID=52 for a copy.)
Dr. Daniel Horowitz, CSB Director of Congressional, Public and Board Affairs, summed up the findings of both reports when he said, "It is a very significant finding that BP does not effectively investigate incidents throughout the corporation. If you're not learning from near misses, you're not in a position to prevent major disasters like the one in Texas City."
So there it is once again, that age old prophecy, Those who ignore history tend to repeat it, but it really doesnt need to be that way.
It begins at the top
The Baker Report included ten recommendations, the first being, The Board of Directors of BP p.l.c, BPs executive management (including its Group Chief Executive), and other members of BPs corporate management must provide effective leadership on and establish appropriate goals for process safety. Those individuals must demonstrate their commitment to process safety by articulating a clear message on the importance of process safety and matching that message both with the policies they adopt and the actions they take.
The CSB report wholeheartedly endorsed the Baker Reports recommendations.
The message to BP and the rest of the chemical industry was clear: Create a top-to- bottom safety culture that talks the talk and walks the walk. Learn from the past and apply it to the present. Do what you are morally and legally obligated to do in order to provide a safe working environment for your employees and the surrounding community. Establish a safety culture that helps preserve shareholder value. Stop making excuses.
Stop the eye rolling
Stand before an audience of senior executives and/or shareholders, use the word safety in your opening remarks and watch the eyes begin to roll as everyone begins looking for the nearest exit.
Now imagine that same audiences reaction if you substituted the word capital preservation for safety. Imagine just how attentive the audience, especially the shareholders, would become if you explained to them that a proven-in-use, industry- and regulator-accepted, fully documented guideline is available that significantly helps to preserve capital investments.
Of course theyll listen. These are people who pay very close attention to the stock market, commodity prices and world events that can affect both. These are people who are all about reducing risk and preserving capital. You will have their attention.

While his active wrestling days are long behind him, Coach Darwin Shorters still isn't adverse to mixing it up on the wrestling mats.
That's what he did at the Takedown Wrestling Camp in the Bill Willson wrestling room recently at Pontiac High School, applying the hands-on approach to his method of instruction.
But at 41 years old, he knew his limitations when it came to grappling. "You got any oxygen?" he queried after a brief session with one of the campers.
Indeed, Shorters was winded and sweating in the hot atmosphere of the wrestling room as he occasionally mixed it up with youngsters more than half his age.
Shorters, a wrestling coach at St. Johns High School in South Carolina and a former coach at Central and Northern High Schools, came at the bequest of Adam Polk, head wrestling coach at Pontiac High. He was the guest instructor at the camp, which attracted some 50 youngsters, including some high school wrestlers from Avondale, Rochester and Pontiac.
"It's very nostalgic for me because I was born and raised in Pontiac, wrestled here, taught here, coached here for a long time," Shorters said. "It's good to see some of my former athletes that were very little grown up ... to see these guys develop into young men is very rewarding and gratifying for me."
For the youngsters, it was a three-day grind of physical activity, conditioning, wrestling and listening, under the watchful eye of a cadre of adult instructors, including Cisco McKinney, Tim Gomez, Kevin Davenport, Tyrone Logan, Nate Hansen and Georgio Ballentine.
"This is my passion, it comes from here," said Ballentine, thumping his heart area.
Wrestlers learned a variety of wrestling techniques, including underhooks, takedowns, strategic endeavors and discipline.
"You shouldn't be walking, run to your circle," commanded one instructor, while another urged, "use your speed, work something you learned today" to a pair of wrestlers in a simulated match.
But Shorters, familiar with the Michigan style of wrestling, was in charge of them all, bringing his brand of instruction to the camp.
"We're just trying to give them a lot of different setups, attacks and finishes on takedowns and expose them to as many things as we can," said Shorters of the campers, some who came as far away as Wayne County, such as Kyle Borthwell of the Silverbacks Academy of Highland Park. Others came from Macomb County and Oakland County, including an Avondale group which included Brock Mathers, Brennan Kuhn and Kyle Gray.
The Maier brothers from Rochester, including Dillon and Nick, and younger brother Steven, a student at Reuther Junior High, also made their way to the camp.
But Pontiac's contingent, including Deshawn and Dazon Cole, Nick Reid, Damion Davis, Davion Logan, Clarence Farmer, Xavier Hershovitz and Damion Davis, was as lively as them all.
"Find and perfect a takedown," answered Xavier Hershovitz of his objective during one session. "We're getting better for next year," said Davis. "(But) most of all, having fun."
The three-day camp continues at noon Wednesday with the takedown tournament, where trophies and medals will be awarded for the age-group leaders.

A beautiful facility called USA House is operated by USOC. It is located in what was once an upscale restaurant and bar near to Workers Stadium where the soccer matches are being played. USA House is private and like almost everyplace associated with the Olympics requires credentials to get in. There is a store on the basement level where non-credentialed US visitors can purchase Team USA merchandise.
USOC operates USA House to support its own marketing, international relations and PR activities. There is ample space for large parties and smaller private functions. The space includes a coffee/smoothie bar, internet café, chair massage center, outdoor grill and office space for USOC staff. One of USOC's most important objectives at the moment is to return the Summer Olympic Games to US. There is a large contingent of Chicago 2016 in Beijing and they use USA House as their base of activity as well.
USA House is also used to celebrate medals won by US athletes and teams. There is a special celebration area on the lower level where parties are held nightly throughout the Games. There is also a Bud Party Deck on the roof level that cranks up at 10PM each night to keep the celebrations going.
I think USOC has done an outstanding job with USA House this year. It is a spacious, functional and comfortable place that is very well suited to helping USOC and the NGB's achieve their off-the-playing goals in Beijing.

The photographer and ranch owners split $51,000, the top award out of a total of $160,000 in prize money. It was Nussbaumer's second year running to claim the top prize, sponsored this year by AEP Texas. At the awards ceremony in Victoria, Nussbaumer received the award with Fennessey Ranch owner Brien O'Connor Dunn and manager Sally Crofutt. This year's grand prize was renamed the William Henry Jackson Award, honoring the "first photographer for conservation," a painter, photographer and explorer famous for his images of the American West. The photo contest paired 20 landowners from the Coastal Bend region of Texas with 20 professional photographers. Throughout April the teams worked together, with one photographer shooting a variety of images on one ranch all month long. The Images for Conservation Fund created the photo competition to improve rural economies and conserve wildlife habitat by promoting nature photography tourism on private land. D. Robert Franz of Cody, Wyoming won the Second Grand Prize of $28,000, sponsored by Heart of Texas Landscaping and Irrigation, Wachovia Securities, and Bruce and Gail Hoffman. Franz split the prize with his landowner partner, Mustang Ranch in Duval County, owned by Hugo and Laura Berlanga. John Hendrickson of Clipper Mills, California won the Third Grand Prize of $15,500, sponsored by Alamo Lumber Company, which he split with the Welder Wildlife Foundation in San Patricio County, represented by Terry Blankenship. Carter Smith, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department executive director, gave the keynote address and acted as Master of Ceremonies for the awards banquet. The awards celebration took place at the University of Houston at Victoria. Also Saturday night at the awards, the ICF announced that the 2010 Pro-Tour location would be the Laredo area and surrounding counties. Besides the top three teams, teams through 10th place in score also received cash awards. And this year, for the first time, the top 100 images, 20 in each category, each received a $500 prize. Complete lists of 2008 competing landowners and 2008 competing photographers are on the ICF Web site. ICF is a Texas-based, non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of a sustainable, self-funded wildlife conservation industry based upon nature photography tourism. The goal is to establish exciting nature photography destinations while simultaneously generating significant income for the private landowners who lease them. To raise public awareness of these opportunities for both landowners and photographers, ICF has created the Pro-Tour of Nature Photography and a number of supporting events. --- On the Net: http://www.imagesforconservation.org/ -30-
