The Glam Guide By Fleur DeForce - Review

Fleur DeForce has recently written a book. I have watched Fleur for many years on youtube and also read her blog often, so this was very exciting news for me.
The book is called 'The Glam Guide.' It's very hard to specifically say what the book is about, because it focuses on many different topics, which I really like.


Fleur is a beauty blogger and youtuber, so naturally, the majority of the book is about hair and beauty. She talks about what products work well for different coloured eyes to how to make your own face masks. She also wrote about skincare, hairstyles and how to do a perfect manicure. There are so many different topics in the book, there is something for everyone.

I was very unsure how the book would be styled and what the layout would be like, but I personally love it. Fleur's book has a lot of drawing style pictures, instead of photographs, which I think is a very creative idea and it looks very effective.

As much as I love the beauty side of the book, there is also a big chapter on self-confidence, body image and positive thinking. I found this chapter very helpful for certain aspects of my life. But I think this would help somebody even if they are only having an odd bad day. She mentions how a lot of people of social media requested a chapter like this. I like that Fleur has added chapters that her viewers and followers would want to see.

 I love Fleur's book and you can tell she has worked extremely hard in order to make a perfect product that even if people have never heard of her, it would attract their attention and they would enjoy it.
It is definitely worth the money and I think everyone needs a book like Fleur's.

You can purchase  The Glam Guide in Whsmith which is £7.49 at the moment and Waterstones it is £14.99.

Don't Let It Bring You Down- A Post About Anxiety

For a long time, I have been very closed off about feelings I get when I'm anxious. I haven't actually told anybody how bad it used to get. Anxiety and stress take over a lot of peoples lives and it can be scary and cause different emotions during the time.
 I wasn't going to do a blog post about this, but even if I help one person, that is more than I can ask for.

My anxious feelings first started when I was about 13. I was always an extremely shy child, which progressed on to my teenage years too. It was during the summer holidays when this started. I think I left my house 1 or 2 times during that 6 week period. The feeling of leaving my house made me feel nauseous and as if there was a knot in my stomach. I wasn't sure what these feeling were. Nobody had ever spoke about anxiety at school before so it was scary. It got to the point of not sleeping because I had a lot of different emotions whizzing around in my head. I felt a pounding in my chest, I thought my heart would break through. I didn't want to go out and see people I knew. For a lot of people, this can be because they fear they are going to be judged by other people. I think this was defiantly the case I was in. At the time, I was thinking 'Everybody gets anxious, this is normal.' I kept it to myself.

When school began again, I used to get up and get dressed into my school uniform. I went downstairs about 8.00am. I used to leave my house at around 8:15am. I was 14 by this time. (I have a summer birthday). I remember for about the first month of school, I used to cry everyday about how much I hated it and didn't want to go. I used to get to the school gate and I felt as if I would pass out at any second. Anxiety can effect people in different ways. With mine, I stopped eating. I felt pushed out a lot at school. I thought this would help people to accept me and also and nausea ruined my appetite. I was never overweight. I was a healthy weight. But the thoughts in my brain made me feel as if it would help. I lost a lot of weight. It also came from the fear of people seeing me eat. I ended up fainting during a PE lesson. (Which I didn't complain about at the time, I hated PE anyway). That's when I had to begin eating properly again, which brought back the pounding of my heart and the dizziness.

It took me a while to learn how to cope with the anxiety. I'm 17 now and I have left school. I still get the feelings sometimes, but it's not as common now. I didn't go to a school that openly helped people with these sort of issues. If you are going through feelings of anxiety, there are a lot of people that can help you. The first step is talking. If you can't do that, self-help is a good way forward. A few years back, I made a positivity book. I wrote quotes and sayings that kept me positive when I wasn't feeling good about myself. I still pick it up from time to time when I need a pick me up. Find remedies that are right for you, whether that be drinking lots of water or taking deep breaths while counting to ten. Try anything and everything until you find the right choice.

Always know that you aren't alone in these situations and don't let it bring you down. Keep your head up and keep going. It will be okay in the end, and if it isn't okay yet, it will be, give it time.

January Favourites

January has been one crazy start to the year. And it has also been a month of many favourites of mine to come to light.

My beauty favourite of this month has been the Maybelline colour 24 hour tattoo Gel-cream eyeshadow in the shade Pink Gold (65). I saw Tanya Burr buy this in her recent drug store haul on youtube. I thought the colour looked so beautiful and it really is and I love it. - Boots, £4.99

My hair favourite of this month is Lee Stafford's treatment for hair that never grows past a certain length. I always see girls saying that want longer hair. Not only has it helped my hair to grow to its maximum length but it also keeps your hair in great condition. - Boots, £8.49

My favourite clothing item this month has been my black and gold cutout boots from boohoo.com. I brought these are few months ago, but have recently found my love for them. They are so comfy and also look really nice, whether for during the day or for an evening event. - I think this item is now unavailable, but hopefully they'll be back in stock soon.

 I am a massive bookworm. I read a lot, but my favourite book of this month has been Eleanor and Park, by Rainbow Rowell. I was so excited to start reading this book. I laughed, I cried and I didn't put it down. It was one of those books when you want to finish it to see what happens at the end, but you don't want it to end. I'm not going to talk to much about it because there may be a book review coming soon!! - Waterstones, £7.99

Lastly, my favourite movie of the month. I have been getting into musicals a lot recently and there have been musicals I have re-fell in love with such as Annie and The Sound Of Music. But I have a new musical love which is Les Misérables. I feel like I'm extremely behind with this film, because it came out nearly 3 years ago. I thought I'd give it ago. (Yes, 2 years later) AND I LOVED IT. Even if you do not know a lot about the French Revolution, it is still worth a watch, because it's about love, passion and sacrifice. My next stop is seeing it on stage! - HMV, £5.99

Let me know what your favourite items have been this month and what you recommend.
