Jo Malone Launches Second Edition Kohdo Wood Collection

The World of Jo Malone introduces the second season of the limited edition Kohdo Wood Collection. Two captivating fragrances created as a modern interpretation of the ancient Japanese incense ceremony of Kohdo: the ritual appreciation of incense.

One of the three formalised Japanese arts, Kohdo is a ritual that has been handed down f r o m generation to generation in Japanese society, taking over thirty years to master.

Today, the Kohdo ceremony is a journey of discovery that is made with friends, where moods are manipulated according to the natures and personalities of scents. The blend of ingredients in the day and night fragrances have been designed to inspire the senses and encourage emotions. For the day: uplifting and invigorating, and for the night: soothing and sensual.

Through a blend of mandarin, sacred lotus blossom, bamboo and aloeswood, Lotus Blossom & Water Lily – Kohdo Wood day will awaken the senses, encourage energy, inspire confidence and focus the mind, making it the perfect daytime scent.

Mandarin has a vibrant and lively nature, referred to as the little heart of the sun, it is thought to shed light on the drudgeries of the everyday and encourage a sense of joy. The sacred lotus blossom is serene and spiritual, symbolising the dawning of a new day. Bamboo offers strength and grace and aloeswood is believed to impart both mental and physical benefits to balance the mind and body.

Dark Amber & Ginger Lily – the night fragrance in The Kohdo Wood Collection – is a combination of black cardamom, orchid and kyara wood and is designed to encourage relaxation, it’s sensual and calming aura creating a sense of intrigue and mystery. It is the perfect scent to use f r o m early evening through to night.

Originally used as a perfume in ancient times, black cardamom has an aromatic and smoky nature, while the orchid carries a universal message of beauty and wisdom. As a base for incense, kyara wood is prized for its rarity and richness and its character embodies the true historical and cultural significance of the Kohdo ceremony. It is both relaxing and stimulating, an essence that’s said to be appropriate for meditation and celebration. This dark and sensual mix signifies refinement and perfection and brings the essence of evening to this night scent.

Like all Jo Malone Fragrances, Jo Malone Kohdo Wood Collection will be available to purchase online f r o m the beginning of April. Lotus Blossom & water Lily is available in a Shower Gel, Cologne and Home Candle while Dark Amber & Ginger Lily is available in a Bathing Soak, Cologne and Home Candle.

About Jo Malone: In 1994 Jo Malone opened her first store at 154 Walton Street London, selling a collection of personal fragrances, skin care and a selection of Scented Candles and bath & body products. Today the World of Jo Malone continues to both constantly challenge convention and educate on the way that fragrance can enhance everyday lives.

Beautiful packaging and thoughtful presentation is synonymous with the Jo Malone brand. F r o m the first moment the iconic gift bag with signature bow is received, a sensorial journey begins. A Jo Malone gift is the perfect pleasure, a luxurious way to create a lasting memory.

Bedroom Pleasures BPTV TV Shopping Channel

Bedroom Pleasures.co.uk has instinctively reacted to the needs of the online consumer and the somewhat limiting boundaries of the sex toys industry, by developing a new pioneering approach to effectively showcase their products.

This concept creates a new addition to the shopping experience on the BedroomPleasures website, in the form of BPTV. Understanding and appreciating a product before purchasing has never simpler with the BPTV sex toys tv. Instead of viewing a potential purchase from product photos on the website, the customer can also watch and understand the product from videos embedded into the website before they buy.

The assistance of a trained BedroomPleasures advisor helps the customer by operating a friendly and informative approach to dissect the function, and the purpose of the chosen product. These informative short snippets of video footage feature professional demonstrations and analysis of a large number of BedroomPleasures products. New videos are also added each week.

With just one click the customer can appreciate a product, or in some cases even watch product and promotional footage from the brand itself. This can be as diverse as watching behind the scenes product footage of an advert such as the Durex Play Vibration Ring, to genuine public response to a product, or even informative sex toys tips.

All of these new BPTV features have been designed to enable the customer to understand and become more familiar with the product brand, its mission, and the product itself.

Moreover, if demand is high enough the customer can even request a product on the BedroomPleasures website to be reviewed on BPTV. This makes a truly bespoke feature to BPTV and mirrors the company’s ethos of always putting the customer first.

About Bedroom Pleasures:
BedroomPleasures is a division of Net Trading UK Ltd and was formed in 2003 to provide a fast, safe and reliable way for shoppers to purchase adult products from the comfort of their own home.

BedroomPleasures is dedicated to bringing the best selection of adult toys and lingerie, coupled with an outstanding service and fast delivery. Bedroom pleasures also checks prices against other UK based retailer websites on a weekly basis and offers a price promise to ensure customers can’t buy cheaper sex toys in the UK, and the chance to claim free sex toys with purchases over a certain value.

This Project is devoted to providing the tools and information needed for personal safety. Guardyourself.net includes safety tips, instructional videos and laws pertaining to the use of personal defense products.

“Crime is on the rise! The statistics speak for themselves” Said Jake Buhrman, owner and operator of Guard Yourself. “Unfortunately many people rarely consider the danger until they are in a true life threatening situation.

The growing economic crisis has put a strain on society and the worst is yet to come. In today’s increasingly violent times, every citizen is responsible for ensuring their own personal safety and security. Statistics have always shown that people who fight back during a life-threatening situation substantially increase their chances of escaping and avoiding harm to themselves or loved ones.

ABOUT Guard Yourself

The site offers training videos for individuals who don’t have the time to attend self defense or martial arts classes. It also contains tips and information about choosing the right personal protection products for each unique situation.

www.guardyourself.net has a wide range of products for personal protection ranging from pepper sprays and personal alarms to stun guns and Tasers (including the new C2 Taser).

Displaysense Raise The Issue Of Fire And Safety Protocols In The Workplace

Displaysense calls for businesses and workers to take note of the upcoming national no smoking day and pay more attention to health and safety following potentially disastrous incident in Telford.

Ever since the introduction of the smoking ban in 2007 there have been mixed views on the law, however a warehouse worker in Telford decided to defy the regulation and watch some new office products go up in smoke.

Displaysense the UKs leading supplier of mannequins and shop display equipment were happy to receive a phone call from a customer, with what sounded like a repeat order for products the company had only ordered a month earlier.

During the phone call the unfortunate reason behind the repeat purchase was revealed. A temporary agency employee ignored the smoking ban, having snuck away for a crafty fag and accidently set fire to half of a small storage room at the back of their warehouse.

The company bought clothes rails, containers and display cabinets from Displaysense with the intention of using them in their offices after they completed a refurbishment and had temporarily placed them away in a storage room while the offices were decorated.

Steve Whittle the marketing manager at Displaysense commented, “Although our products are high quality, they are not meant to be completely fire proof. It was potentially a very dangerous situation and perhaps the individual involved should take note of the no smoking day on the 11th of March and quit while he is behind.”

Steve continued, “It just goes to show, with the various promotions the government runs to highlight the risks of fire, some businesses aren’t taking appropriate steps to protect their business and the message isn’t getting through to their workers”.

Given this incident, Displaysense are going to contact its customers to raise the question about their businesses health and safety measures, and offer appropriate solutions to protect their lively hood.

The fire and rescue services attend more than 30,000 work related fires around the country each year, with impacts including businesses not reopening, loss of jobs or even loss of life. With the no smoking day on March the 11th, the smoking ban and increased monitoring of fire and safety protocols in the workplace, it is hoped that this number falls and similar situations to that of the Telford warehouse can be avoided.

It is understood that employees at the warehouse managed to put out the fire without needing to contact the emergency services. The worker in question has subsequently been fired and told not to darken their doors or cabinets, again.

The Carphone Warehouse Launches Phone Trade-In Service

The Carphone Warehouse has announced the launch of its exclusive ‘Trade-In Calculator’ service which allows customers to exchange their old mobile phones for cash when either upgrading to a new handset, buying a new pay as you go handset, or taking out a new contract.

For the first time, customers will be able to instantly find out the true value of their old mobile phones and receive cash in-store at one of over 800 stores nationwide. The model of the old mobile is simply inputted into the ‘Trade-In Calculator’ operated by sales advisors, which instantly generates an exchangeable figure of up to £200, dependent on the model of the phone. This amount can then be directly redeemed by customers, or offset against the cost of the upgraded handset and contract. The mobile phone trade in service is also available online through The Carphone Warehouse site.

Being the first major high street retailer to offer such a scheme, The Carphone Warehouse can reveal that two million people in the UK are due a mobile phone upgrade, but are yet to take full advantage of receiving a new phone. Consequently, an astonishing £10,000,000 of potential cash is going unclaimed by customers – money that could make a noticeable difference to the bank balance amidst the current financial climate.

Utilising the ‘Trade-In Calculator’ takes the guesswork out of revealing how much an old handset could be worth. The service works by checking the value of every handset to make sure customers get as much as possible for their old phone. For instance, a high-end handset such as the Nokia Arte would equate to a huge £200 cashback, while more popular handsets from last year such as the Nokia N95 or Sony Ericsson K850i would still generate customers a valuable £115 and £45 respectively.

Andrew Harrison, UK CEO at The Carphone Warehouse said; “Customers are increasingly looking for the best deal when upgrading their mobile phone contract. It’s easy to forget the value of your old phone and many end up in drawers gathering dust. Our ‘Trade-In Calculator’ takes the guesswork out of the true value when trade in your old phone and gives an instant cash ‘thank you’ to loyal and new customers.”

The New Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask By Elemis

Elemis, the pioneering British spa and skin care brand, has unveiled its new Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask, which is due for release in April 2009.

Elemis has recognised the problem of the skin’s cell renewal process declining as people age. In 2006, after three years of research, Elemis launched a skin care programme that facilitated natural cell renewal of the dead skin cells to reveal a fresher, more radiant skin. This range was the Tri-Enzyme Programme which won several beauty awards after its launch including being voted the CEW Best New Skincare range 2007.

Following on from this success is Elemis’ latest innovation; the new Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask. This new product is a highly active gel based mask that combines the Elemis-patented Tri-Enzyme Technology with anti ageing Tetra Peptide, Amazonian Acerola Cherry, White Truffle, Great Burdock, Erysiumum and amino acids to encourage effective resurfacing of the skin’s surface.

Elemis Tri-Enzyme Technology adapts to the individual’s micro flora and skin condition, an important factor given that everyone’s skin is different. When the skin’s acid mantle drops below 4.5pH, enzymatic action decreases dramatically, resulting in rapid ageing. Elemis Tri-Enzyme Technology uses the synergy of Organic Acids with micro-encapsulated enzymes to support the micro flora enabling safe and highly effective skin resurfacing.

Noella Gabriel, Elemis’ Director of Product and Treatment Development, said: “After years of research we wanted to bring clients a resurfacing gel mask that is an active system to ‘take home’. Sadly, in the last few years, we have constantly been confronted with customers suffering with damaged skin from too harsh and abrasive treatments which have left their skin unsafely thin on the surface, very sensitive and in need of TLC. At Elemis we are proud to be able to offer a safe, yet powerful resurfacing programme that works naturally with the skin’s natural resources. It is our promise that we only create products that adapt to the individual’s skin as everyone’s skin is different. This Gel Mask gives skin a remarkable, visible radiance.”

The Try-Enzyme Programme includes a resurfacing homecare regime designed to address concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, acne and superficial scarring and uneven pigmentation.

About Elemis:
timetospa (commonly referred to as Time2Spa) is the official online store for Elemis, the pioneering British spa and skin care brand.

Elemis is proud to partner with over 1200 luxurious spas and salons, 130 lavish cruise ship spas, British Airways Elemis travel spas and over 100 retail stores around the globe. Elemis treats over 5.7 million people each year and it has the single largest influence on trends and developments in the global spa and skincare industry. The successful combination of powerful natural ingredients, cutting-edge formulation technology and proven clinical trials has enabled Elemis to bring to market some of the most influential anti-ageing homecare products and professional spa-therapies the beauty industry has ever seen.
