Girl Online

A well known girl who has written what now is a well known book. It was super hyped up when this first came out, and even before that. I didn't want to give into the hype straight away so it wasn't until a few weeks back when I actually ordered this book. I was placing an order from Amazon and needed to spend over £10 to get free delivery so I thought why not give into the hype and give it a read. I knew this book was aimed at slightly younger girls than me but I'm all for an easy bedtime read.

The blurb says:
"Penny has a secret.

Under the alias Girl Online, Penny blogs her hidden feelings about friendship, boys, high school drama, her crazy family, and the panic attacks that have begun to take over her life. When things go from bad to worse, her family whisks her away to New York, where she meets Noah, a gorgeous, guitar-strumming American. Suddenly Penny is falling in love - and capturing every moment of it on her blog.

But Noah has a secret, too, one that threatens to ruin Penny's cover - and her closest friendship - forever."

The story line basically incorporates blogging, friendships and love. I think the story line is great and highlights all these areas well in a positive and negative light. You can tell when reading that this book is aimed at the slightly younger girls but it still made me want to read on. Even though the messages throughout the book aren't really aimed towards me personally, I can see how they are relevant to others.

This book was quite long if I'm honest but the short chapters made it easier to read. Once you got into the book, towards the middle, I was reading a few chapters at a time which meant that the lengthy book wasn't one to go on for months. Like I mentioned this was a super easy read for bedtime when you don't want anything too difficult or scary. Also there is going to be a Girl Online 2 which is set to come out this November.

I'm glad I gave this book a read but it was slightly too easy to read and the messages that came across just weren't all that relevant to me personally, as I said. But I did enjoy reading it and probably will still give into the hype after a while and get the second book. You can buy this book here from Amazon for only £6 at the moment. I'd love to hear if you've read this book and your thoughts on it? :-)

Zoella Beauty!

After watching many vlogs all introducing the Zoella Beauty launch, I couldn't resist purchasing a couple of bits for myself when they were released on Feel Unique. I'm 100% sure that you have all heard about Zoe's products because if you haven't then where on earth have you been? They have Zoe written all over them from the rose gold to the polka dots, they are the prettiest and cutest packaged items ever. I did have to restrain myself when purchasing these and did only manage to get two (which shocked me) but I'm sure in the future I will have the others in my collection as I won't be able to stop myself.

So firstly I picked up one of the make up bags out of the two from Zoe's collection. I needed a new make up bag as my old Primark one had served it's time and was on the way out. So when I came across this one I needed to try it out. Now I understand this isn't really aimed at my age group but I wanted to give it a whirl and I love it! It's the perfect size; not too big nor too small. The colours are great and the rose gold zip just makes it.

Secondly the bath fizzes which were top of my list and I just had to have. I've always been a fan of bath bombs/fizzes and anything to make a bath that little bit more exciting and these do exactly that. As I've mentioned the packaging is to die for and the product inside is amazing too. I've already used three of these and they're great. They are simple but make your bath smell gorgeous and the scent isn't too strong nor overpowering either which I think is nice.

Both of these products are amazing quality, affordable and just have Zoella written all over them! I have always watched Zoe's YouTube since starting my own blog and she has always been an inspiration, as she is to many, many other bloggers too I'm sure. If you haven't already (which I'm sure you have) you can find the Zoella Beauty products on Feel Unique and Superdrug also and I definitely recommend checking them out! The other products in Zoe's range are definitely on my wish list for the future :-) well done Zoe!
