A CHANGE OF BLOG

LIZZIE READS…CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS
Conversations with Friends - Sally Rooney #LizzieReads Sally Rooney’s debut novel. I consumed this book in a matter of days, as I did Normal People, immersed by her writing style which I know can irritate some readers due to its lack of punctuation on speech. The idea is that the reader interprets what is being said [...]
LIZZIE READS…ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE

REVIEW – FEATHER AND DOWN LOTION + SPRAY
I've tried to find various reviews on the Feather&Down Sweet Dreams pillow spray and body lotion, but haven't been successful, so I thought I would create my own. I managed to get these both in a duo pack after Christmas for about £4. I don't believe they sell the body lotion on its own, however [...]
THINGS TO DO WHEN QUARANTINED!
