Book Review - The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider

Let me start by giving you a brief summary of the book (without giving too much away).... There is a boy named Ezra Faulkner, he is a popular star athlete and on his way to being named Prom King. Ezra believes that everyone has a tragedy waiting for them —a single encounter after which everything that really matters will happen. One night he is in a car accident which shatters his knee, his athletic career and his social life. Not knowing where he fitted in at high school anymore, Ezra wound up back with his best friend from his childhood, at the same time a girl named Cassidy Thorpe comes into his life and she brings him along on her endless adventures and helps with his self discovery...

This book is a coming of age novel that can hit so many different points. Everything from friendships, love, and self discovery; all the things teenagers and young adults struggle with are addressed in the book. I am 24 years old and I can relate to this!

 It is witty and engaging for the reader. The main character Ezra is really easy to like and to put yourself in his shoes. That is what I love most about books; the way I easily become the character in the book. Robyn has really shown how talented she is with her exceptional concepts and vocabulary. She can describe in such vivid detail every aspect of place the characters are or how they feel in a situation.

If you enjoy stories that dont end the way you think they will and things that keep you coming back for more than 'The Beginning of Everything' is for you!

Hope you decide to read it or you have and wish to share your thoughts!

Lots of Love,

Rhiannon

February Favourites!

At the start of each month I am going to tell you all about the things I have loved from the month before! It is going to be a mixture of different things from beauty items to books or movies. I also have linked where you can buy these products if your interested...

Enjoy!

Fashion Items:
Maxi Skirt from Princess Polly – I have been wearing this a lot with a plain cropped tee. It is so comfortable and great for lazy Sundays. http://www.princesspolly.com/maxi-skirts/lanie-lane-skirt

Einstein Tee from ASOS – when I find a t shirt that fits perfectly and is comfortable I tend to over wear it... This is definitely one of those tees!

Black Ballet Flats – These are the best shoes for work! They are comfortable and really cheap because they are from Big W. Who doesn’t love a bargain... (sorry there is no link for these!)

Beauty Items:
Maybelline Colour Whisper Lipstick in number 60 Petal Rebel – These are so moisturising on your lips so it feels like you are wearing a lip balm instead of a stick. Amazing!  https://www.priceline.com.au/cosmetics/lips/lipstick/color-sensational-color-whisper-3.0-g

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate lipstick in number 16 – This is the PERFECT pink colour for my lips. https://www.priceline.com.au/cosmetics/lips/lipstick/kate-moss-lasting-finish-lipstick-4.0-g

Tanya Burr Cosmetics Lip gloss in the colour Smile, Dream, Sparkle – I love laying this lip gloss over the top of the Rimmel Number 16 lipstick for added gloss and sparkle. This also looks great on its own as well! http://www.feelunique.com/p/Tanya-Burr-Lip-Gloss-38g

Lush The Kiss lip scrub – I am obsessed with lip scrubs. They make lipstick look so much better because there are no flaky lips underneath. I usually do a scrub once a week. They also taste amazing when you lick them off!  (Limited Edition  )

Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 palette – Urban Decay are my favourite eye shadow company. Their palettes always have such amazing range of colours and the shadows are so pigmented. I actually prefer the Basic 2 to the original Basics palette. http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/urbandecay/nakedbasics2palette/

Gelish Soak off Gel polish mini in the colour 'Fairest of Them All' – I was lucky enough to get this gel nail polish kit for Christmas from my brother! It is amazing, it last up to 2 weeks and looks as professional as a salon manicure.  http://www.gelish-australia.com.au/

Frank Scrub – I cannot say enough good things about this body scrub. It smells amazing!! (It comes in 4 great smells) And it leaves your skin so smooth and silky...it’s just incredible! https://frankbody.com/

Loving Tan 2hr express tan in Medium – I think I have found my favourite fake tan that you can do at home. I am always so stressed about doing a tan on my own at home and prefer a spray tan from a salon but this is just too good! I love the colour and best of all it only takes 2 hrs to set. It is not sticky at all while you’re waiting to wash it off and I came out even every time I have used it. http://www.lovingtan.com/buy/2-hr-express-medium-self-tanning-mousse/2HRM120

Nak Surf Spray – My hairdresser Carrie introduced me to this product and I am in love! I have naturally wavy hair and after I wash it I spray this into the ends of my hair for those relaxed beachy waves. (Tip: this product is also good to use as dry shampoo since it is a salt spray and get dry up any oil) http://www.ry.com.au/nak-surf-styler-250ml.html

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Mamba – I love all the scents from these dry shampoos but this month I have loved this one the most. I have really oily hair so dry shampoo is essential! https://www.priceline.com.au/hair/hair-care/dry-shampoo-and-conditioner/dry-shampoo-mamba-200.0-ml

Songs:
Fifty Shades of Grey Soundtrack - Wow...Just Wow! This soundtrack has got be my favourite thing to listen to recently. It has a good combo of songs and I love the artists who were involved.

Greek Tragedy by The Wombats – This song gets stuck in my head all day every day because everything these guys produce is amazing!

Book:

The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider - I cant even begin to describe how this book makes me feel. I love it with every part of me. ( I am going to be doing a book review for my next blog about this!)

That is all my favourite things for February! I hope you liked the post and I will keep telling you all what I have been loving every month! 

Lots of love
