REVIEW : Life With A Sprinkle Of Glitter ('Create')

by - 05:16

Hello you lovely lot!

So, here we are again. Yes, I really did read the next chapter and upload another blog post that fast, I couldn't help myself!

The next section in the book was 'Create' and I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it compared to the last chapter as I've never been oh so creative and my idea of 'baking' is buying cakes from Tesco and pretending I've made them myself. However, as I previously mentioned I am (hopefully) going to University next year and I want my room to be a safe haven full of flowery things, silly photos of me and Natalie and maybe a poster of Harry Styles (I don't know why I say maybe, there will be one).

Yet again, this chapter was full of glossy pages with pretty pictures and doodles and a happy quote every now and then!





So, as I said in my last review the chapters are split in to little sections and the sections for 'Create' were...



SETTING UP HOME

Now, I obviously don't have my own house. However, it was nice to hear stories about Louise's experiences and get some tips about what things I should take to Uni with me (Harry Styles is still coming with me for future reference). I really enjoyed this chapter though it wasn't necessarily aimed at me.

PRETTIFYING YOUR ROOM

I loved this chapter. Around two or three years ago I took all the wallpaper off my walls and painted my whole room, I changed the curtains, the lot. Now I love my room (even if it is a bit messy...a bit...haha). This chapter made me want to tidy my room and fill it with lovely little sparkly things and all sorts!

CRAFTS

As I said I'm not the most creative person alive. I may possibly be the least creative. Even though I took Drama at college I like to just be given something, don't get me to do my own stuff, I don't like it! However, when Natalie is home I am going to drag her to Ikea with me so I can buy all sorts of pretty things to make for my Uni room, so Natalie if you're reading this, that's happening. Please. This bit was full of little instructions for easy to make things which is exactly what I need!

ANTI-BAKING

Now, I took GCSE Food Technology when I was at secondary school and I hated it (got a C though didn't I, wahey). I can not bake to save my life. It stresses me out, makes a mess and looks crap when it comes out although usually my baking tastes ok! So I knew this section was for me! Reading about Louise's baking fails made me smile and realise I'm not alone in being incapable of making a simple cake! I can't wait to try 'Chocolate Bark/Chocolate Pizza'. Even though I'm lactose intolerant I will risk it all for some Dairy Milk...or some Galaxy, not biased here.


After my caution with this chapter and how it might not be for me I was so happy to find so many easy things I could do and reading Louise's lovely little stories was hilarious as always! I cannot recommend this book enough and I can't believe I'm half way through?! I don't want it to end!

Thanks For Reading!
