Wishlist #5

This is probably my most exciting wishlist for me that I have put together - as sad as that is haha!

Clinique Anti Blemish Solutions - I LOVE this foundation, I was first introduced to it when I was looking at make up for my prom and I've loved it and used it ever since, I need some more pretty soon! Buy it HERE

Calvin Klein underwear - It's only been recently I've started to really want one of the sports bras, but I'd love a set too! They look so comfy! Buy them HERE

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus - A less well known fact about me is that I love Psychology, it really interests me and especially the mind set both genders have and the psychology behind relationships, I have wanted to read this book for a long time! Buy it HERE

Pens - I need more pens and as I am a (hand) writer most of the time I always need about three pens in case I run out of ink! Buy them HERE

What did you think of this one chums?

Book Review: Gone Girl

As a few of you may know I am a writer, not just in the sense of blogging but I write articles for my local newspaper (and online) as well as entering poetry competitions. One of the bad things about loving writing this much is that things like reading kind of fall off the bandwagon! Gone Girl is the first book in about 3 years I've read! I know, that's so bad, I'm actually embarrassed writing it!

Here's a small summary of the book: Nick's wife, Amy,  goes missing on their 5 year anniversary. The crime scene, a diary and internet history all lead to the police and public believing that Nick is responsible, but as the story unfolds and other characters are revealed is he still the one to blame?

ANYWAY...This book is AMAZING! You think you know where it's going then BAM! Plot twist...It's so gripping and I love the amount of detail you find out about each character. I kind of like how it jumps around a character's timeline - it's not confusing as it's quite structured but it makes you feel like you really KNOW the character and what they're like rather than other books where the whole story is set in the present.

I think all the characters in the book are relevant and have an involvement in some way or another in the storyline which I like because I don't like reading about characters in books which don't seem to have an relevance to the actual story!

As a non book reader of about 3 years I REALLY recommend reading this! Next stop for me will be watching the film - woo!

Official Fifty Shades of Grey Trailer

Hi chums!

Yesterday the official Fifty Shades of Grey trailer was released, ready for the anticipating eyes belonging to the loyal fans who have waited months for this. For those who (somehow) don't know, Fifty Shades of Grey is a trilogy written by E.L.James which soon became bestsellers across the World. 

The books follow the...um...erotic (shall we say!) relationship between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey - hence 50 Shades of Grey - and they both discover different dimensions of not only their relationship but also themselves. 

You can watch the trailer here:

Personally I'm really looking forward to it. I read all the books - it was all ANYONE was reading so I had to jump on the bandwagon - I borrowed my friends books which had been passed round most of the year! I enjoyed them quite a lot: they're well-written and always had cliffhangers and twists and turns throughout the story. Whilst watching the trailer I also found the Film Blog of The Guardian had done a review on it. THIS is the review, it's a good read and very entertaining! 

The film is out Valentines Day 2015 - let the countdown begin!
