If this article is to be believed sales of the nappy rash cream Sudocrem are up as people try to cut costs. It seems the cream has become more popular as people try to save money during the recession because it has multiple uses. Apparently it is good for acne, cold sores and dry skin as an alternative to more expensive beauty treatments. Costing just £2.75 a tub it doesn’t break the bank and with a an 150% rise in sales in the past year it is certainly becoming more popular. We have quite a few pots of it in the house which we use for Penny as intended but perhaps I will start reaching for the cream for myself after reading this, it might do something for my dry hands.

This is interesting its some high heels that can help you lose weight. According to the article they can help you to drop a dress size in a month. They feature a concave sole and a unique spring action in the heel which destabilises the wearer's centre of balance. Early trials have shown that women can shed as much as half a stone or one dress size if they wear the heels for a month. They work by causing the foot to rock back and forth as the weight of the body shifts much like walking on a unstable surface such as sand. The result of this is that the muscles in the legs, hips and buttocks have to work harder to maintain balance burning more calories in the process. They look interesting but I can’t really see me wearing these to pop to the shops, now some trainers that do the same thing might work.
