Gok Wan Through Thick and Thin | Book

As soon as I picked up this book I couldn't put it down. It may have 357 pages, but fortunately the writing is on the larger side, so reading it in a few hours is possible; or at least it was for me! I am not a big reader, so it is a new thing I am trying to do as much as possible. I thought that there may be a lot of girls, and guys out there who don't enjoy reading, and neither do I really, unless I find a really good book. Sadly for us with little money; like Moi, books are rather expensive these days, so I have become quite the local at my library. Books are completely free to take from the library, and if you don't read them in the reserved 3 weeks limit then you can just renew them until you get round to reading it! 

I tend to find it difficult finding books that I can get my head into, so the library is a perfect option for me, when i'm never sure if i'll enjoy the book or not. A lot of the time i do tend to judge the book by its cover; bad i know, but i think petty books tend to be the best. 

I was recommended this book by a friend, and I really did enjoy it. I will definitely read Gok's other book/s when I find them! This book is inspiring, true and about life and family. Anyone who needs a boost in life will honestly find this helpful. You wouldn't believe how much even GOK has been through. Truly relate-able. 

Give it a read!

Jane Austen Stole My Boyfriend | Book

I purchased this book from a cute little bookstore in South Wales, and couldn't wait to read it. I just thought it sounded great! 

Here is what the back of the book says- 
"Jane Austen (who considers herself an expert in affairs of the heart) has done her fair share of matchmaking, and at the age of fifteen she has already found her best friend Jenny a very eligible gentleman. Now Jane's decided it's her turn to fall in love, and no amount of dancing, dresses and disasters will stop her from finding the man of her dreams. But a good reputation once lost is gone forever, and Jane is in danger of becoming the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons . . ."

It cost me £5.99 and i didn't think i could get so involved with one book! I could hardly put it down!

It was just so gripping, slightly rushed end i may add, but i still loved it!

Definitely give this a read if you like romance!

Nails | Pixie Stix

I am totally in love with this nail polish by Orly! It is so nice for summer! I'll definitely be wearing this a lot over the holidays! Such a pretty coral pink, but not too 'stand out'. Just right!

Hair | leave in conditioner

I love to give my hair as much care as possible because I tend to use a lot of heat on the poor thing. Before I dry or straighten/curl my hair I always use a heat protection spray, but after using the heat, my hair tends to feel a bit dry and lifeless...

Until I found this... Coconut and Almond Leave-in Conditioner!

What a life saver! I have re-purchased this product so many times I have lost count. I apply it all over my hair once I have styled it, and I just feel that I am giving it it's life back. It makes my hair less fluffy, gets rid of frizz and adds shine! What more could you want?!

Well as a bonus it does smell divine!

It is a Boots own product, and is cheap! ( yay for cheap amazing productssssss ! )

Try out this product and let me know what you think, and let me know of you think you have anything better!
