I admit it; shower gel is an essential item in my shower. I don’t like soap because it leaves my skin feeling dry and it slips too easily out of my hands.
If you are looking for something to add to Dad’s present this Father’s Day, check out Palmolive for Men’s range of shower gels. The great thing about these products is that they are made for men – they have a very masculine fragrance. The packaging is black and sleek and looks tough enough that he won’t feel ashamed about using it.
My favourite in the range is Active Fresh (pictured), it smells beachy and comes out of the bottle in a cool aqua shade.
Very refreshing - with a price tag that anyone can afford – RRP $4.59 for a 250ml bottle.
Buy Dad one of each; they come in Active Care, Active Power and Active Fresh! Recommended by Mr Lace

One of Mr Lace’s Favourite activities is playing golf with my mates. I am competitive but sure am a beginner when it comes to golf. To help improve my skills I have picked up a copy of the book “Beat Your Best Golf Score”
This book comes packed with tips, hints and strategies from top golf teaching professionals.
The techniques are sectioned into ability levels from beginners to experts, so its easy to find what you are looking for.
Beat Your Best Golf Score is a good pick for Father’s day, for a dad who loves his golf.
If any of my mates are reading-prepare to get owned next time we’re on the park!
This year’s Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay is set to be a corker. Tickets sold out in hours, so if you were one of the unlucky ones and the only rocking-out you’re likely to be doing in August is in your bedroom then look no further!
There is a competition which could see you head-banging, crowd-surfing and getting grubby in a field with the rest of them!!!!
Father’s Day is coming up and if your dad is anything like mine, he is one of the hardest people to buy for. He isn’t fussy, but his life is pretty much working and watching sport so that doesn’t really give me a lot of options.
This month, Remington have released a brand new range of men’s grooming tools, and I have chucked out my old razor and switched to the Remington Diamond 360. This razor would make the perfect Father’s Day gift for any hard to buy for dad, including my own…or you could just surprise your husband with one instead.
For most men, shaving is a hassle and needs to be done every few days, but with the Remington Diamond 360 Shaver my skin feels much softer and it’s a closer shave.
It comes with three separate shaving heads, which means it can pivot to the shape of your face. The heads are Teflon coated which makes them more durable and not as scratchy as my old razor.
One of the best features of the razor is you can use it with the cord or cordless…and it has an LCD screen to let you know how much shave time you have left. Perfect for fishing trips when you need a quick shave and there is no power.
It comes with a “pop up trimmer” which I like to use for my sideburns and the back of my neck. This Remington shaver looks manly, and I love the sleek black and grey design. Included is a handy storage pouch (black of course) – this is the whole package.
The Remington Diamond 360 Shaver costs RRP $153.95. It comes with a 30 day money back guarantee and a 2 year warranty.
For a pain free shave, it’s on my top Father’s Day gift list!
Vehicle entries are now open for the world’s largest continuous motoring event… the famous Bay to Birdwood Run.
Over 1,500 cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles are expected to take part this year and entries have already been arriving steadily from across the country.
But owners are encouraged to get their entries in early. Bay to Birdwood Chairman, Kym Hulme said “unfortunately we usually receive dozens of calls and late entries, but the overwhelming popularity and sheer scale of the Bay to Birdwood Run necessitates a strict cut off date of Friday 15 August”.
Entry forms are now available online for veteran, vintage or any vehicles manufactured on or before 31 December 1955.
This year’s Bay to Birdwood Run will be held on Sunday 28 September. Tens of thousands of spectators traditionally line the route to watch the cars, buses, trucks and motorcycles travel from Adelaide Shores to the post event party at the renowned National Motor Museum in the Adelaide Hills town of Birdwood.
Generations of South Australians have jostled for the best spots along the route to watch this exciting event. Since starting in 1980, the event has established itself as Australia’s premier historic motoring event and has earned Australia-wide recognition.
Entries are now available from:

The world can’t get enough of Gordon Ramsay, the expert chef with two television series and a taste for bad language. Now there is a casual game where you can work in Hell’s Kitchen, and be watched over by Mr Ramsay.
To pass each level you need to use good time management, to juggle between serving customers and preparing delicious meals.
The theme and recipes are taken from the hit US television show, and the only thing missing is the swearing…not a single bad word has been included.
As you work your way through the game it becomes more challenging, and you get extra customers and tables to serve. The only disappointing thing is that all the recipes use the same ingredients in different combinations…including the desserts.
If you think you have what it takes to work in Hell’s Kitchen, or love your cooking time management games, give it a try.

We use our minds every day, but just like any other muscle in our bodies, they need to be challenged. Quizzes and puzzles are a great way to test our brains, and to get better at problem solving.
Being a guy, there has to be some kind of competition involved, even if it is just against myself, and I have been working through the book The Book of IQ Tests. It has “25 Self Scoring Quizzes to sharpen your mind”, and I am finding them to be quite difficult.
Here are a couple from the book for you to try, and I will let you know the answers later this week:
Puzzle 1
Place a word in the parenthesis that when placed on the end of the first word makes a word, and when placed in front of the second word also makes a word.
BUTTER ( _ _ _ ) FISHING
Puzzle 2
Make one word using all ten letters.
SCOOP CRIME
Clue: Scientific Instrument
Puzzle 3

4. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas – Being a gangster never felt so good. Killing civilians, police, and gangsters. Stealing cop cars, ambulances, fire engines, motorbikes.
