The Foamy Gnome is on the roam!

Here it is the second Rowntrees RANDOM video below, following the adventures of a ‘foamy gnome’, Random’s special pink sweet. As is the case with Random’s, most of the time you have no idea what is going on, which is half the appeal. Also, if anyone is following the Facebook group you may find this even more confusing than the video’s:  ‘Hi ice creams! I am a teapot flower feeling monkey bike! I like Randoms, they are very squidgy chess piece. Bye post boxes!’….um, ok?  
So the story starts with the Foamy Gnome who has left his flatmates, Jedward, behind and is off on a random adventure in his giant hot air balloon. Where will he go? What will he do? And will you get anything for free? Interested parties can follow the gnome on Facebook, Flickr and Twitter to find out! www.rowntrees-randoms.co.uk
In the second video The Foamy Gnome continues his random adventure. Included is a massive people washing machine. See how much Jedward are missing him. Follow the Foamy Gnome’s antics on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr! www.rowntrees-randoms.co.uk

Independent Clothes Shops

Since the economic downturn, there has been a recent influx of smaller clothes shops popping up in cities everywhere. People are choosing to keep their buying more localized and are more willing to support the smaller shops in lieu of the larger department store. There are many perks to shopping in a small clothes shop, one of them being the fact that they will have more current styles than the larger department stores. One reason for this is because they have a smaller overall stock that they have to deal with each season. Since they are only buying a fraction of the merchandise that large department stores are buying, they are usually able to get rid of their stock more efficiently.

Perhaps there’s a clothes shop in your town that you just haven’t checked out yet. It might be a hole in the wall, but if you are a fan of fashion at all, it would be wise to check it out. These shops are also more willing to do special orders and order specifically for the people that frequent their store. For instance, if you are a great lover of long dresses, a smaller clothes shop will be more likely to put a few on special order just for you to look at.

Many people have chosen to forgo shopping at larger stores and have chosen to instead support that smaller clothes shop in their area for many different reasons.

Travelling to Meet Someone New? Dating Tips For You

Traveling to reach the goal of dating a person for the first time doesn’t always end up with flying colors. Here are some dating tips when traveling to meet someone new.

Before traveling to meet the potential key to your heart do a background check! If the date turns out to be a criminal, one word comes to mind, accessory. The person could have a criminal record longer than the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. If warning signs appear, when in doubt do without. But what happens if they check out?

Who wants to witness sweat dripping from a face with a drenched shirt from perspiring? Pack tissues and a water bottle to dab on the face. Wear a breathable shirt.

Be relaxed, calm and don’t appear anxious. No one wants to meet a chatterbox who lacks self control. Keeping the conversation light helps. Leave room for future conversations to grow. Don’t stun the growth by obnoxious chatter.

Do you have to be right all of the time? Allow the other person to be right once in a while. They may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, the weakest link of all dates, or the kind of person that wants to be the center of attention too. Give them their moment since the date only lasts until your plane takes off.
