Buzz: Fly me Mars…

…actually flying me to New York would do, I am a little scared of Mars now after last nights episode of Doctor Who! There are many things I would like to do in New York of course, it’s a tourists paradise with so many famous landmarks to see and experiences to, well, experience.

Top of my New York wish list at the moment though would be ticket to see the new Cirque De Soleil show – Banana Shpeel! I blogged about it last month and wanted to see it then, now that I have seen adverts for it on the television and various places online I really want to see it.

It’s a crazy, intense, non stop roller coaster ride and follows the tale of a producer, an actor and a beautiful maiden – there are many other strange and interesting characters along the way including the mysterious Banana Man – who despite the image in my head probably isn’t the 1980s cartoon superhero that I grew up watching (showing my age here, huh?).

I keep entering contests online to win trips to New York, I am determined to win won one day!

Want Absolutely Free Samples?

I am sure I have mentioned before that one of my other main hobbies…if you can call it that, is shopping and bargain hunting. I even run a UK bargain and shopping blog where I share all the best voucher codes, freebies and killer offers. I love nothing more than getting free samples in the post and I am the sort of person who will just order any thing and every thing I can – I have had samples of chocolate, vitamins, make up, labels – you name it I have had it! My absolute favourite free samples are perfumes, a lot of them come on cards that are only good for one use but sometimes you get little 5ml bottles and they are awesome

If you are from the states and want to jump on this free sample bandwagon then take a look at qualityhealth.com, you simply register for free, have a look around to see what they have on offer at the moment and then sit back and wait for the mail man to come with your Absolutely Free Samples. The site also have coupons and rebate offers as well as interactive games, tools and quizzes and videos and news about all things health related.

Are you ready for The Hopper Invasion?

What would you do if you were walking down the street one day, and saw 500 people bouncing towards you on space hoppers? Well that’s what happened to some people in Barcelona recently when they witnessed The Hopper Invasion.

Take a look for yourself below:

If you think that looks as awesome as I do, check out Hopperinvasion.com where you can create your own hopper and take part in the very first online flash mob. I am going to be there, I hope you will be too

Crazy Banana Shpeel!

I’ve wanted to see a Cirque du Soleil show for years, ever since I saw a brief clip of them on TV — so it was great to see them again last week taking part in the photoshoot on America’s Next Top Model, they were masked and throwing some awesome shapes on the ropes and it made for a great shoot.

This prompted me to do a little searching online to see if they were up to anything new and I came across information about the new Cirque du Soleil Banana Shpeel show!

It looks awesome. Fact.

It’s a lot crazier and intense than your usual Cirque du Soleil show and follows the tale of an unpleasant producer and his manipulations of a young actor – the young actor meets many zany characters along the way including ‘Banana Man’ who is a bit of a mystery to us at the moment.

Take a peak at the video below for more insights into the new show:

The show opens in November in Chicago and you can buy your tickets now.

One of these days I will win the lottery and get to head to the states to see them perform up close and personal, I am sure I will.

New Cell Phone Needed!

Every one has a cellphone these days, right? From 5 year old kids to 80 year old grannies! I remember getting my first phone around 12 years ago now, it was the size or a brick, cost a small fortune and it’s most advanced function was that you could choose one of five ringtones. How times have changed.

I am happy with my phone at the moment, but am on the lookout for a new one for my other half — his got drowned when we went out on a boat trip on my recent holiday. Looks like his Christmas is sorted at least, I will be looking for celluar accessory coupons on one of my favourite bargain sites over the next few months and getting him some bargain bits and bobs to replace the dead stuff. There seems to be some great Cellular Factory coupons at the moment, but I can’t take advantage of them as we don’t know what sort of replacement phone he’s getting yet!
