The Fault In Our Stars

Hello Lovelies!

As you may have gathered by now I'm quite the book worm especially over the summer break. I heard so many people rave over this book I thought "Okay lets give it ago". I already read "Looking for Alaska" By John Green and loved it so there was no harm in trying out another one of his books called "The Fault In Our Stars." Loads of people said I would cry and I can tell you now I balled my eyes out!

Who knew one book could make you feel that way? The main character is Hazel Grace Lancaster and the book is wrote in her point of view. She has a tumour affecting her lungs which means she must carry and oxygen tank around with her. Augustus Waters has a different kind of cancer but they meet in a support group with his friend Isaac. 

John Green makes it so easy to fall in love with the quotes and characters he piles into books and you feel so many different emotions because its so brilliant. I thought he did a wonderful job on Looking for Alaska but this is so much better I'd say. And I loved Looking for Alaska so you can see how much this book meant to me. It was hard to read because reading about Cancer is upsetting especially when you know people dying of it but you also can't stop turning over the pages to read more. 

This book is being made into a film just like The Perks Of Being A Wallflower was and I know the film is going to be amazing but just like the others it wont be as good as the book. A book will always be able to capture more than a film can. I try to read the book first before viewing the movie so I will use my own imagination to capture the characters appearances not the actors that play them in the films. However I am excited for the movie and I better get my tissues ready.

Summer Essentials

Hello Lovelies!

I've seen loads of people doing a "summer essential" post and video hauls so I decided to do one. I didn't want to do it early in the summer like July as everyone was doing it then. This time next week I will be on holidays so this is why I've decided to do it now! I will be taking these products away with me. Obviously I will be taking things like shampoo and toothpaste but I didn't want to get into all of that boring stuff.

1) Barry M Nail Paint. I adore Barry M and I don't tend to use other nail paint because this one is so good. However it is a little pricey. These colours are (from Left to right) Peach Melba, Lemon, Greenberry and Pure Turquoise. I probably won't take all these colours away with me but I'm undecided on which one is my favourite. They are so cute and pastel colours, I love these for the spring/ summer seasons and then for autumn and winter I go for a more bold colour.

2) The Righteous Butter. This is my favourite moisturiser ever! Its so nice and makes my skin so soft. I burn so easily in the sun and this acts like an after sun care too. I use this ever night and ever time I come out of the shower and it is honestly the best moisturiser I've come across. However 'Soap & Glory' is not the cheapest brand but well worth its money. 

3) Spray. My all time favourite spray is Hollister Crescent Bay. As you can see I've used about half already. Its got a real sweet smell to it and I think it's got the sweetest smell out of the whole collection of sprays. I do have another which is Seacliff Beach, its a pale green colour, which isn't as sweet but still quite nice too. The other spray I will be taking is a deodorant more than a Body Mist. It is Sure Long Lasting Protection. It smells of Flowers and Apricots and due to the compressed can it fits nicely in my bag for on the go protection.

4) Hair Care. The first is Tresemme Heat Defence with UV filter. It helps protect against damage from dryers and heat styling tools as well as the sun. The last thing anyone wants is split ends and dead hair by the end of summer. This is good to use before using styling tools like straighteners and you can really see a difference. The last product is Schwarzkopf Got2b beach matt salt spray. I use this when I don't want to use heat on my hair and it gives a lot of texture to your hair.
