REVIEW : Life With A Sprinkle Of Glitter (First Impressions and 'Glitz')

by - 07:50

Hello you lovely lot!

So, as some of you may know I am part of 'The Sprinklerinos Book Club' (and very proud to be a member may I add). So, I got sent the a signed copy of the book a few weeks before general release so I could tell you all how lovely it is! It came the other day along with a few sweet treats and today I finally had the time to sit down and read the first chapter 'Glitz'.

I thought it would be better to do this review in sections so that it's not the biggest blog post ever and so I don't forget anything that I want to say about it in the mass of writing!

First Impressions

When I came home on Thursday after just finishing my final exam my Mum said 'Becky a book or something came for you?' and I squealed. I was SO excited to get the book and start reading! I opened it and gasped (literally, that's not a joke). It is so beautiful. Full of colour and sparkles and glossy pages it is easily the most aesthetically pleasing book I ever did see. I even made sure I told Louise how beautiful it was!


I had a little cry at this moment. Louise has always been someone I've looked up to and someone who has had a huge impact on my life, whether she knows it or not. To see her come so far and to finally release something as amazing as this, I am very proud of her.

All of the pages in this book are beautiful. Every single one has lovely pictures and a glossy feel (can we make that mandatory for all books please?). The front cover even has glitter on it that you can FEEL (I KNOW RIGHT, IT'S GREAT)


Some pages even have lovely little quotes on them and some summaries of what's been said in the previous section...



Another first impression that I had is that the writing style is SO Louise. If you are scared of this book being 'not very Louise' or being all serious and what not, it's not. It's like you're listening to Louise talking in one of her videos and there's little jokes in brackets, kind of similar to the way I write which makes me ever so happy!

Glitz

So there are 6 sections inside the book (including 'Aloha Sprinklerinos' and 'Toodlepip!)'. The other four are 'Glitz', 'Create', 'Need To Knows', and 'All About Love'. Then each of these sections is split in to smaller sections. The sections for Glitz were..



BEAUTY AND PAMPERING

I loved this section. I am all about looking snazzy and feeling great! It was nice to read some tips from someone who always looks lovely in the hope that I too can always look like that (although you know, I doubt it's gonna happen). It made me want to sit in a bath for hours and do my makeup all nice even though I've been sat in bed all morning with a hangover. Woe is me.

PARTYING

Now, since I've just told you all I have a hangover we now know I like parties. I'm not a big party go-er to be honest. I like a party and I like a drink but I'm not out every weekend. Louise gave some tips for dinner parties (and I now really want to go to one or have one) and also some tips for drinking (which it's clear that I need).

MEETING CELEBRITIES

This section made me a giggle a lot. It included 'The Kylie Minogue Story' (if you know, you know) which is my favourite story that Louise has ever told. I like to think I'm quite cool when it comes to meeting celebs but I'm not. The moment I saw Louise in real life I started to cry but by the time she got round to me I had calmed down and felt like I was on top of the world.

THE ART OF SHOPPING

I love me some shopping. Just yesterday I went out and spent like 50 quid on makeup (it was payday, I was allowed). I completely agree with everything Louise says in this section, all the tips for a perfect shopping trip.

TRAVELLING IN STYLE

I don't travel very often, I live at home with my parents and so I only really go to surrounding cities and never anywhere very far without my family. However, with this being the year I start University (ha ha or not thanks to the exams I got given) I have a feeling that I will be travelling a lot more so I'm glad I now know some tips on how to make the best of my time!



Overall I already love the book and I'm only 77 pages in! It is so Louise and so beautiful and pretty and just so great! I can't wait to read the other sections and voice my opinions on them (which will hopefully be very soon). You can preorder the book now if you so wish. I know that it's currently half price at Waterstones and you can also win the chance to meet Louise, and who doesn't want that?!

Thanks For Reading!
