Misery by Stephen King – Book Review

     16 Comments

stephen king misery review

Title: Misery

Author: Stephen King

Pages: 420

Published: 1987

Genre: Horror Fiction, Thriller, Psychological Thriller, Psychological Horror.

My mum has read and collected many Stephen King books over the years. I grew up watching her with a book in her hand when she had free time. I was lucky because recently she asked me if I would like any of her books so of course I jumped at the chance as I am a huge fan of many of Stephen Kings films and TV series. I have seen the movie Misery with Kathy Bates and I loved it, so I thought Misery would be the perfect Stephen King book to start with.

I started this book with an open mind because I’ve watched the film but my goodness, it had me putting the book down with shock in some parts of it because it was quite gory! Check out what I thought with my review below.

10 Simple Ways To Get a Good Nights Sleep

Sleep is one of my favourite things to do! I love winding down and relaxing before bed then finally getting into my comfy soft bed and drifting off to sleep. I have a simple routine of things I like to do before I go to bed.

Life can sure be hectic at times as we all have things in our lives that can be stressful at times whether it be our jobs, family life or just 2020 vibes rolling into 2021. I like to take a little time out and try to make sure I get a good nights sleep so I am ready for the day.

First Impression of Essential Oils | Blended Valley

     9 Comments

Now we all know essential oils aren’t a new thing, in fact, the first mention of them being used was way back in the 12th century by an Al-Andalusian Physician, chemist and pharmacist Ibn Al-Baitar.  Ever since then they have been used by many cultures around the world that are even continuing right into the present day.
Essential oils have many helpful and amazing uses including one of my personal favourites Aromatherapy!  Now you may be wondering what the heck is Armotherphy so I will give a quick low down on what it is. It is a form of alternative medicine to help induce relaxation. Now with today’s busy lifestyles, relaxation isn’t always easy to reach but aromatherapy is a simple way to relax easier and enjoy the time we have to ourselves, we all deserve that right?
Blended Valley has an amazing selection of essential oils to choose from; some for sleep, relaxing and even energy. I chose Attraction & Love because I love fragrances that have the combination of rose and lemon because they are a nice twist. I love having nice fragrances in the background because they can uplift my mood for many things include reading, relaxing or spending time watching a movie.

Child’s Farm ‘Sensitive Skin Products’ | Review

Child's Farm Products | Review
 
As we all know January is also Veganuary. Now for people who aren’t sure what that is, Veganuary is a month in which people try out being vegan for a month, not only with food but also products too. Childs Farm is a child-friendly bath and skincare range who happen to be cruelty-free and many of their products are vegan-friendly too.I was kindly sent 3 of their products to try including their 2 in 1 hair, bubble bath and moisturiser. They are labelled for babies but anyone can use them since their formula is so mild that its kind to sensitive skin and people who have eczema.  We tried out their products for a month and I have done a mini-review on each of them below.

Childs Farm was founded in 2011 and was created by the founder who wanted a bath and skincare products for children which were suitable for sensitive skin but also smelt nice too. Their products are also multi-award winning.

Illamasqua Shiver Palette

     17 Comments

Hello everyone! 🌙
If you remember a few backs when I posted about my latest TK MAXX haul I actually totally forgot to mention that I actually found myself some amazing Illamasqua products too. It has been ages since I last bought any Illamasqua products so thought it was time to treat myself, especially when it was all half price or less mwahaha. In my haul, I bought this palette called “shiver palette’ and also the ‘precision abyss eyeliner’ and also something I have wanted to try for years ….’ beyond veil primer’.
The Illamasqua shiver palette has another similar palette called ‘Delirious’ which has a similar package which is red. I wanted the blue one as I wanted cooler tones as I have a lot of warmer tone eyeshadow palettes. Shiver cost £36 when it was released but now its had a whopping price drop and now its a bargain price of £18. It has 8 highly pigmented shades in the palette which are a mixture of shimmery and matte.
