Catch up with ongoings from Lizzie's Week!
When I first started reading this, I just could not get on with it. I found the format very ambiguous and confusing, as it appeared to be a disorganised amalgamation of stories from people in New York, through some kind of interview. I wasn’t sure whose perspective it was from, flicking between first and third person, [...]
As we (eventually) make our way into the summer months, it is important for us to look after our skin, especially in the sun ☀️ What does SPF mean? Sun Protection Factor. There is no simple way of explaining if a higher number means better protection, but it does help. The key thing is to apply it regularly [...]
A Wedding at The Beach Hut – sounds cosy, right? And cosy it is! This is the first Veronica Henry I have read (one in her Beach Hut series), seeking something easy and calm to read, with a warm sense of feel-good (perfect during this mildly warm, wild and weird time of year!) I do look forward to something going wrong in a novel, and surely there does in here, [...]
#LizzieReads A bit of a longer one this week, as this book has received quite a bit of hype, even making number 1 in the Sunday Times. For years I have followed influencer Grace Beverley, previously known as GraceFitUK, on social media since her days at Oxford University, relating to her experience of exams, revision and balancing hard work [...]
This week’s post is more tailored to fitness, specifically running. Some of us loathe it, some of us love it. I hate to love it, mainly because it has sadly caused me injury, resulting in me having to stop. I’m here to let you know, however you stumbled across this post, that it’s okay not to be a runner. More so as [...]
#LizzieReads Written by screenwriter Rebecca Serle, I could picture this novel being written for the screen. In Five Years is a short story (less than 300 pages) set in New York about Dannie and David, whose relationship seems too good to be true. They’re a hardworking, ambitious couple with a somewhat predictable start to the book: David has a well-paid job, she has [...]
#LizzieReads It might be becoming a theme now that I read Sophie Kinsella books occasionally, - the truth is, I’m a sucker for her chick lit! Whilst I couldn’t quite relate to the novel of married characters, I came to understand what it must be like being married/in a long-committal relationship when you achieve everything you look [...]
I have often thought before how some people find the time to read so many books, wondering when they fit in having a life besides working and sleeping! Some of the people I follow online seem to churn out a book a day(that would be a dream…)! Of course, this doesn’t just have to be limited to [...]
I have wanted to read this for ages! This book has received a lot of hype, particularly on my insta feed – besides the fact the cover is very pretty! Where the Crawdads Sing follows the story of Kya, known as ‘Marsh girl’, for growing up alone (in the marsh) after the departure of her mother, siblings and eventually, [...]
As part of my mini Boots haul a few weeks back, I bought some small hair goodies that had been reduced and thought would be worth the try, including Grow Gorgeous Hair and Lee Stafford's Keep It Clean range. One of the last things I got were mini Toni + Guy Damage Repair shampoo and conditioner [...]
