Waiting On Wednesday||❤

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

The book I can't wait to be published is.......

Girl Online 

by Zoe Sugg.

Publication Date: November 25th 

From Goodreads:

I had no idea GirlOnline would take off the way it has - I can't believe I now have 5432 followers, thanks so much! - and the thought of opening up to you all about this is terrifying, but here goes...

Penny has a secret.

Under the alias GirlOnline, she blogs about school dramas, boys, her mad, whirlwind family - and the panic attacks she's suffered from lately. When things go from bad to worse, her family whisks her away to New York, where she meets the gorgeous, guitar-strumming Noah. 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.

Why I'm Waiting This Wednesday?

Well, I have been a big fan of Zoe's blog for over two years (I think the end of 2011) and it was amazing and I loved how she wrote each post. I just want to see if she can really excite me with the book. Although the description sounds very cliché I still want to get my hands on the book and see if it is really worth my money.

Lip Balm Favourites||❤

Hello!
Today I will be reviewing one of my all time favourite lipbalms..... *drum roll* the Nivea Lip Butter. Oh my gosh I can not rave about these cute tins enough I mean it is moisturising, small and is at a brilliant price, only £2:50. People may find it a bit pricey but compared to the maybelline baby lips which claims to have 8 hours moisturisation, more like 8 minutes, is for £3 which is not worth the tiny tube they give you.
This creamy lipbalm is literally a god send! It last for 3-4 hours without drying out the lips, you only need one coat and it is soo affordable. You could just pop into your local superdrug or boots and it would be there do you.

Advantages

• Super Creamy
• Long Lasting
• Moisturising 
• Compatible
• Affordable

Disadvantages:

• Finger Application- It might seem unhygienic to those who don't want to keep on dipping in grubby fingers then applying it straight to the lips.

Overall, this is the best lipbalm I have ever used. I have hit pan on this one and I'm still scraping at the last non-existent parts. I was deeply saddened when I walk into the local superdrug to find that it had sold out before hand. Oh well, luckily enough I picked up a Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lip Balm with Spf 15 which I am yet to do a review on.

Lots of Love,

Naomi...xxx

Any Red-Blooded Girl-A Book Review||❤

Hi Guys!
I was looking around my kindle at some YA Reads and this one popped up. I clicked on it eagerly, found out that it was free (A big win for me.) and read it in a night. Not because I liked it so much it is because I am quite a quick reader and can finish a book in less that 24 hours with a cup of tea and a packet of hobnobs. The book was 203 pages (With real page numbers!) well that was what Amazon told me. I just wanted a book, no need for the useless details. To be honest this book had so many problems in that this will be more of a rant than a book review. Grab a cuppa and enjoy this essay on why I despise of this book so much.
Goodreads description; The last thing fifteen-year-old Flora Fontain wants to do is spend her summer vacation stuck in a tent with her overprotective parents and angst-ridden brother, especially when she should be in Europe with her best friend Jessie-sipping espresso, posing for cutesy tourist pics, and hunting for hot Italian (or French, or maybe even English) stud-muffins.

But since her parents trust her about as much as they trust a cat burglar at the moment, Flora has no choice but to suffer through the boyfriend-less summer of her discontent from the back of a rented SUV, until Fate tosses a sexy, sophisticated gypsy boy into her path, making Flora wonder if destiny might know best after all. 

That is until destiny screws up, big time. Because just as Flora falls head over heels, an unexpected turn of events threatens to land her in the slammer - or worse, separate her from the man of her dreams.

*yawns* I don't even know why I bothered to read this book. So Flora goes on a six day holiday with her family at a huge campsite. Whilst lost she catches the eye of a gyspy boy called Mick and their romance blossoms. Well I thought she wasn't going to see the boy until the last day but noooo they fell in love in less that 48hours!! That really bugged me and it made me laugh so much. They are complete strangers who end up kissing eachother and saying 'I love you' and they haven't even properly got to know him. It is a six day holiday not a summer camp!!!! (excuse the excessive exclamation marks it is a way to show my hate for the book.) It was just plain annoying, then the next day Flora has been introduced to Mick's parents. I don't get it it isn't even her third day there and they are doing what people who have been dating for months do. Just ridiculous really. Then ooo suddenly she is in a big mess up and who will save her! Boringg, it was the worst ending ever but I won't say it or it will spoil the book if you want to read it (please just don't). I'm so glad that I didn't pay for  it because that would be money straight down the drain.
Overall, I would give this book a 1/5 no just a 0/5 it annoyed me so much and I dont know how I survived to the end of the horrendous book.
Keep Reading,
Naomi...xxx

Lana Del Rey-Style Steal||Fashion❤

Hi Guys,

This post might be a surprise for you guys, right? Well I have decided that having seperate blogs for all my interests is just too complicated to keep them both active. I have decided just to mash everything into one blog. The timetable for it will be books on Monday and Wednesdays, and other things on Fridays and maybe even Sundays if I have time.

So today will be a bit of a style steal where I will show you guys pictures of Lana Del Rey on a normal day and give you guys affordable clothing which you can wear and buy in your daily life!

So as you can see Lana (Elizabeth Woolridge Grant) wears casual clothing yet looks classy at the same time. So I found some clothing from different shops and made a polyvore set on it. Also I will link all of the clothing afterwards so you can check it out yourself.

I would advise you to just pop into primark, where they have loads of shoes, and but yourself a pair for around £5 but primark doesn't have an online store so you would have to take a trip outside.

The Fault In Our Stars-Film Review Friday||❤

So, I took a trip to the cinema with my friends so we could watch The Fault In Our Stars together and could laugh at our hideous crying faces. Being a big fan of the book I was expecting a lot from the film and the cast of the film and the director and wanted it to stay loyal to the book and it definitely did!
The film follows the lives of two teenage terminal-cancer patients Hazel-Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort). I'm going to add the amazon description from the dvd because I just tried to explain the film and put a hell lotta spoilers; Hazel and Gus are two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel's other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg, and they met and fell in love at a cancer support group. Based on the best-selling novel by John Green.

I was so excited as soon as the film started and I really did find the first part funny to put up the mood in the cinema before the pain and tears hit you. I did hear a couple of sobs when the first said 'okay' to eachother which just made me smile a bit. A couple of people were sniffing quite loudly when he surprises her and a full on bawl near the end. I found that they missed out the most vital bits personally for me, in the book Augustus is explained so well whereas in the film he comes across as a creepy teen who likes to stare at 'beautiful' teens. We know nothing about Hazel's friend from highschool called Kaitlyn who she goes to the mall with and the part when a little girl asks Hazel if she can wear her Cannula, the swing set scene (the best one) and most importantly Augustus' deceased girlfriend Caroline Mathers. Those parts of the book were what I was waiting for in the film and was dissapointed when they didn't turn up.

My favourite character? Well of course it has to be Isaac, with his wide sense of humour he did steal the show. I would say next Hazel mainly because Shailene Woodley portrayed the character so well. I didn't really think that Ansel Elgort fitted Augustus for me, his smile did get quite annoying throughout the film and was just too jolly for my liking. It is good to always be bright but leave it for the right moments.
The ending!!! It spoilt the whole film for me the whole cinema literally stopped crying when the film ended. I could hear everyone saying, "The end just spoilt the film!" I kept straight face and didn't feel as moved from the letter in the film as the letter. I just didn't get ending it with "Okay Hazel Grace?" I thought Augutus sent the letter to Van Houten not Hazel Grace it just didn't make any sense to me and sat there as the light went on with a confused expression on my face.

Overall I would give the film a 3/5 because it didn't impress me a lot but I do have very high expectations. Maybe I'm a bit picky when it comes to films?

I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You-A Book Review||❤

Hi guys!
I'm sorry for not being active this week. I was in Brighton yesterday, I woke up so early and I barely got any sleep the night before and I arrived home quite late too so there was no time to really do a post. On Monday and Tuesday I was a bit ill so I didn't feel well enough to be staring at my computer screen for an hour.
Enough about that, today I will be reviewing a book I have recently just picked up and that is the first of the Gallagher Girls series. I used to be obsessed with any spy based book like the Young Bond, Alex Rider, Cherub etc, and I wanted to revisit my phase and read more action based books. I picked out this one because first it is a YA book and second the cover was just too good not to buy it.
The goodreads description says, 'Cammie Morgan is a student at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, a fairly typical all-girls school-that is, if every school taught advanced martial arts in PE and the latest in chemical warfare in science, and students received extra credit for breaking CIA codes in computer class. The Gallagher Academy might claim to be a school for geniuses but it's really a school for spies. Even though Cammie is fluent in fourteen languages and capable of killing a man in seven different ways, she has no idea what to do when she meets an ordinary boy who thinks she's an ordinary girl. Sure, she can tap his phone, hack into his computer, or track him through town with the skill of a real "pavement artist"-but can she maneuver a relationship with someone who can never know the truth about her? '

So first of all I really liked the concept of the book, young and intelligent female spies who are trained to become worldwide spies. The school, Gallagher Academy, is covered up as an elite boarding school for the 'poshies' as the local townspeople say. I liked how a bit of romance was slipped into it which made things even better. The school was different and interesting and I liked the parts when they were in the dining hall and had to speak to eachother in different languages. I also found it odd how boys had crushes on her mother which I find quite creepy. The author tried to connect with teengaers and write it in a way which teenagers would understand the book but it didn't really work and I burst out laughing at the parts which weren't meant to be funny. The censoring on the b-word was hilarious and the reaction I had was that I was aching with laughter. It was meant to be a shocking moment but I couldn't help but snicker. It was a fun book and would like to see if the second book is any better so the series could redeem itself.

Keep Reading,
Naomi...xxx

Magenta Orange- A Book Review||❤

Hi Guys,

I was digging through some books I have and I found an old book of mine with had me in stitches called Magenta Orange. I decided to re-read it after a long time and wanted to do a less childish and what I would think about it now review.
The goodreads description says, "Magenta Orange is bright, sassy, and massively accident-prone. Her neighbour—and nearest thing to a best friend a boy can be—Daniel, tries hard to dissuade her from some of her more impulsive actions, but it's a tough job. Magenta has set her sights on Year 11 heart-throb, Adam Jordan, but all her attempts to impress him are thwarted by a series of mishaps. Adam is convinced she is a jinx and tries to avoid her at all costs—while Daniel spends his time trying to demonstrate his undying affection for Magenta. Will the best man win?"

First of all the cover, I mean this used to scare me a bit. Just a picture of someones teeth, how nice! I didn't think this was necessary at all. It was kind of off putting but I didn't buy it my sister did. So negative points for the cover. The actual book, well I did find parts funny and stuff but it was poorly written. It was hilarious and I'm not going to lie about that but the format was just not for me. The concept of a girl having a crush on an older boy but then doesn't notice that her best friend has a crush on her has been overly used. It is so similar to the Georgia Nicholson series, the concept actually got boring after a while.

I had my favourite parts which I will not mention so I can lessen the amount of spoilers involved in my blogs but I did find it humorous. The classic teenage sarcasm had me laughing because we are/were all guilty of slipping that in whilst talking to parents or teachers.
I would give this book a 3/5, mainly because I found it quite similar to other books and a bit boring but learnt extra points for the well thought of jokes!
Sorry for the short review this week it is just that I'm still searching for a YA book so if you can, comment what books you have heard of or read that would be nice.

Keep Reading,
Naomi...
