REVIEW : Life With A Sprinkle Of Glitter ('Need to Knows')

by - 03:08

Hello you lovely lot!

It's time for part three of my 'Life With A Sprinkle Of Glitter Review'! I decided to do this review in sections so people could read these reviews in any order if they're attention is immediately drawn to certain chapters or they might read the first one and go 'wow, Becky is so boring' and never read my blog ever again. You choose (please don't choose the second one...)!

So, this review is going to be about the chapter called 'Need to Knows'.









 I was excited to read this chapter because, even though I am 18, there is still a lot I need to know about life and lots that I have yet to learn! So, the sections! This chapter was split in to these sections...



SURVIVING EDUCATION

Now, I like to think I've pretty much survived the worst of my education. I have just finished my A-Levels and if I do get in to University I am going to try so hard to achieve what I want because it's so much money! Despite that I definitely think that this chapter would be very useful or anyone going through secondary school or in the year below me. However, if you are like me you might find yourself reading through it and just nodding. Everything in this chapter is the truth! Louise's little mannerisms made this chapter so great even though it wasn't necessarily aimed at me!

BULLYING

Now, this chapter speaks to me. I have been bullied very badly from year 6 to around year 12. The bullying developed in to different types throughout the years but it still existed. I think I might make a whole blog post about it soon to give advice to anyone needing it, but this chapter pretty much sums it all up! It gives brilliant tips and things i definitely should have done! Even shed a little tear, i am glad that I stood up to the bullies and my life is now much better!

ONLINE SAFETY

Being 18 I like to think I am pretty safe on the internet but it hasn't always been so! This chapter wasn't just about 'don't talk to strangers!' (although there was an element of that because that is obviously very important). It has stuff about shopping, banking and blogging too (which are three of my favourite things!).

BODY CONFIDENCE

I was lucky enough to hear Louise talk all about this at 'LouiseLIVE' and I do have a video of the whole thing but it's mainly me sniffling in the background because it touched me. It really did. I have always been one to struggle with body image, mainly because of the bullying. So to hear someone talk about how beautiful everyone in the room was and how great they should all feel got a bit emotional. This chapter was the same. The general feel was if you've got it, love it, flaunt it! Who cares if you have a bit of a jiggly tummy or legs that you think look like sticks?! I certainly don't, neither does any human being!

COMFORT ZONES

I was so looking forward to this chapter! I am not good of stepping out of my comfort zone and when I do, I spend most of the time feeling nervous. Alfie's book signing for example was a huge step out. It was in a place that i had never been too and my first ever book signing! However, once I had done it I was so happy! I loved reading the stories that Louise had put in this chapter! It made me feel less alone about the nerves I get when I do something that's not usually my thing! If you really struggle with saying yes to things then this chapter is the one for you!


I can't believe this is the second to last review? I only have one more section to go! I have loved every page of this book so far and it's so nice to know Louise is loving reading my reviews!


Crazy or what?! I can't wait to read the last chapter and do my last review although I'll be so sad I've finished it! I may even read it again!

Thanks For Reading!
