Katy Perry Exclusive testimonial for THOMAS SABO

She is a Pop star, funky, amiable and loves taking the spotlight with extraordinary fashion accessories: Katy Perry. She will very soon be particularly successful at this as the style icon has joined forces with the international lifestyle brand THOMAS SABO and will be the brand's new testimonial from January 2011 onwards.

In addition to accessories from the Sterling Silver Collection, Charm Club Collection and Watches Collection as well as further cooperations, the international chart topper will be the first global testimonial in THOMAS SABO's 27-year company history. In the future, the joint campaign will be incorporated in press, print, the www.thomassabo.com website and at the POS.

THOMAS SABO: "Katy is a match made in heaven for us. In terms of her personality and charisma, she is the absolutely perfect complement to our brand so much so that we just can't imagine a better partner."

Katy Perry: " I'm excited to make things pop for THOMAS SABO. I'm such a fan of all things cute and collectible - I like the Charm Club the best because I get to make it my own."

"Will Your Legs Slope Off?"

Get the most out of your skiing holiday with Nelsons Arnicare arnica cooling gel

Both skiing and snowboarding require a fitness level that is completely different to summer sports. Using muscles that have lain doormant for almost a year, could result in you not getting the most out of your ski or snowboarding holiday. With most trips often only lasting a week, time on the slopes is precious so why not go better prepared. A few weeks of excercise before your holiday could dramatically reduce the time spent recuperating from tired, aching legs after a full day skiing.

Should you run out of time to get fit, or if your legs aren't quite up to peak fitness then pack Nelsons Arnicare arnica cooling gel. It is ideal for massaging into aching muscles and tired, heavy legs to cool and revive them after a full day on the slopes. Made from organic Arnica montana, sourced from the Scottish Highlands, and refreshing menthol and grapefruit oil to leave your skin feeling and smelling fresh.

Nelsons Arnicare arnica cooling gel is available from all good pharmacies
