Neon picked up a sample of DHC’s Water-Soluble Deep Cleansing Oil and was instantly hooked.

This amazing oil contains goes on dry skin as a super rich vitamin E and hydrating olive oil lotion and then rinses off leaving skin clean and fresh but also really hydrated and you can feel the difference after using it for the first time.

Since discovering the brand we’ve also tried their Olive-Corn Body Scrub and Polish and the Mascara Perfect Pro. The Scrub smells amazing, apparently using “granules from natural corn cob powder to exfoliate” which really does give you a polish. The Mascara stays of for ages thanks to the same polymer tubes as in Blinc so no smudging.

All of DHC’s products seem very well priced and we are looking forward to trying more of the range.

Nicholson’s historic pubs have been serving real ale since 1873 and have put together the ‘Seven Ales Of Christmas’ range.

Each of Nicholson’s 80 pubs nationwide deliver the ultimate ale experience with Cask Marque accreditation and fully trained experienced Cask Masters. Find your local and work your way through this festive list.

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Rudolf (4.8% – White Horse Brewery) – A fiery red beer with caramel and biscuit overtones, complimented with a mulled candid peel and citrus from the mountain of Willamette hops.

Elf Indulgence (5.5% – Cropton Brewery) – Developed from a complex blend of seven different English Malts and four different additions of English noble hops, its deep roasted flavours provide a surprising hint of coffee. The ale also provides a subtle aroma of spice and fruit.

Nollaig Mohr Brew (4.5% – Kelburn Brewery) – The smooth reddish coloured ale provides a hint of spice with a satisfying floral aftertaste.

Auld Saint Nic (4.3% – Rudgate Brewery) – The chestnut coloured bitter provides a full malt flavour and balanced bitterness with complex fruit and a slightly spicy nose. The main grist is pearl malt with oats rather than wheat to aid the creamier head retention and crystal malt and a touch of roast barley provides a rounded nutty flavour.

Gold, Frankincense and Moor (4.8% – Moor Beer Company) – An un-traditional addition to the collection, this exotic tasting beer is fit for a king. The spicy character is complemented with just the right balance of smoked malt, and is unfined to retain all the goodness and produce a beautiful opacity with its full flavours.

Ho Ho Soho (5.1% – Brentwood Brewing Company) – This smooth, rich and dark ale is full of spicy notes and a hint of citrus and orange.

St. Nich’s Tipple (4.3% – Itchen Valley) – Otherwise known as Santa’s gift to himself! A unique and luxurious brew displays an alluring red hue when held up to the light. Lingering hints of orange and cherry sweetness are balanced nicely by the punchy Admiral and Stirling hops, providing a sharp, fresh and fruity seasonal choice.

Channel 5 has teamed up with Sentric Music to offer emerging bands the chance to win a music video made by Channel 5’s award winning in-house creative promo team.

Rich Thrift, Creative Director for Channel 5 says: “This is great opportunity for bands to get a slick music promo for nothing. Simple. We have a wealth of directors who have worked on all kinds of clips for a variety of artists over the years and they have been loving the tracks we have been getting in since SUYM started. The idea came from them itching to work with some of these bands. You bring the music and we’ll make it look amazing.”

The successful bands will win a brainstorm session with the team of creative promo producers and a creative director, and spend a day using all the resources on offer to shoot the music video

Lee Maelzer makes paintings about the human need to record events and places and the visual languages. For her first solo exhibition at Poppy Sebire Maelzer will show new works that further develop her fascination for the mediated image; whether that held in the mind, the camera, or the physical archive.

The London-based artist is known for her odd, beautiful and technically adept means of describing facets of the everyday in paint; this particular body of work reflects the experience of flipping through a pile of photographs.

With places such as Allpress, Prufrock and Penny University it is all about the beans but for those who like to eat just as much St ALi is a rare combo of the two.

St.ALi is in the tardis space that used to be Dust nightclub. The interior has retained an industrial feel but benefited from some polishing up and customers can sit on the ground floor tables, the circular coffee bar, or the quieter upstairs.

The menu is served all day so if you fancy a breakfast at 5pm of House-braised Beans on Sourdough Toast with Salted Ricotta, Lemon, Mint and Truffled Mascarpone (£6.35) you know where to go.

Lunch serves similarly interesting food such as the vegetarian Caramelised Sweet Potato Tart with Snow Pea Shoots and Herb Salad (£6.35) followed by desserts like Chocolate Jelly or homemade cakes.

St.ALi’s roastery dominates the back of the ground floor behind the coffee bar. The aroma from the roasted beans is amazing at all times of the day and if you get there at the right time you can watch the roastery in action (no doubt they would be very happy to explain the process). The beans vary from day to day according to which are good at the time and this reflects in the taste; our lattes were so good we had two in succession.

Neon Rating: Go! Go!
Finally somewhere with really good coffee and really good food. We’ll go back with a group of friends and make use of the huge wooden table upstairs for a long boozy brunch.

Thank you to Cherie City for the photo.
