REVIEW: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Hello everyone, 

So I thought I'd add something extra to this blog and it is reviews of books that I've read or am currently reading. I love reading - there are days when I start reading something and because I get hooked onto the storyline, I can't put it down which results in no sleep.

Very bad, I know but it's a habit that I can't break.

"I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once."

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

What I can say about this book is that although it seems like an easy read, it questions things that normally would not be mentioned in the open. It has the power to surprise, make you laugh out loud and cry all at the same time. 

I was recommended this book by many people - from cousins to school friends - and I am the kind of person who if someone tells me to read something, I can't but if I pick it up on my own accord, I have no problem whatsoever. 

This book was different though because the initial idea of two cancer sufferers was already interesting as it is and I can safely say that this was a lovely book to read. I am glad that I gave it a chance because I know that I would have regretted it if I hadn't.

The Fault In Our Stars is actually in the midst of becoming a movie which is said to be released in cinemas in 2014 so I would highly highly recommend reading this.

Let me know your thoughts on this book if you have read it or any other books that you're currently loving.

Have a nice day/evening.

I'm a prefect!

Hi guys,

So as the title suggests, I am a prefect!

Now, you might already be familiar with the concept of prefects but for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, it is basically a group of girls who are "role models" to the rest of the school and sixth form.

We also take aboard any concerns, suggestions or recommendations that students may have about the school and we are their representatives.

I don't know why, and this might sound very geeky to you, but I am actually really chuffed that I got chosen out of the many girls that applied.

It gives me the chance to gain some leadership skills, get to know more people in my year.

Plus, I can write about it in my personal statement so in my eyes it's a win win situation :)

Although I did want to share this good news with you, I also wanted to emphasise how important it is that you grab every opportunity that is thrown your way because trust me, later on you might regret not taking it.

So, if you know that your school has something similar to this eg. school council, form representatives etc then get involved!

You won't regret it.

Have a wonderful day/evening.

About Me

My name is Nadia, I'm 17 years old and I'm a creative writer and an enthusiast on all things fashion/beauty and books!

I have always been interested in fashion and beauty - I've always tried to keep up with the trend via Bloglovin' and Youtube- but it was only this summer that I decided to write about my own life and what I love about beauty and fashion.

I feel like I am at my best when I am sitting at my laptop and just writing for the fun of it. Also, the idea of being able to communicate with people all over the world sends tingles all over my body. It's pretty darn cool!

I hope you enjoy my blog and learn things along the way :)

Winter approaches!

Hello everyone!

That time of year is approaching us once more. Yes, those dark mornings and freezing cold floorboards  are we will experience soon. I don't know about you but I am finding it harder and harder to wake up in the mornings - my bed is so warm and snuggly.

Anyway, what with the weather becoming considerably more chilly, I thought I would dig up my old hoodies and jumpers from a few years ago. Fortunately, I haven't gained or lost an extreme amount of weight so I'm good!

I find that hoodies are probably the best things to just throw on if you're feeling a bit cold and what I've started to do is even layer it with my parka.

You can buy these from pretty much anywhere but I tend to buy mine from H&M because I like the wide range of colours that they do.

At present, I would probably say I have about seven from a trusty black one to a vibrant teal one.

I would highly recommend these because they can give your outfits a little bit of oomph and look comfortable all at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone!

I also tend to throw on a few of my brothers ones as well. There's just something about oversized mens clothes that are just perfect for this time of year!

Anyway, let me know what items of clothing you've found yourself plonking out of your drawers recently and I hope you have a nice day/evening.

Byeee :)

PS: If you want to purchase a hoodie then you can buy it from here.

Time for a new schedule!

Hi guys,

So it's been a while since I posted something last hasn't it?

I apologise profusely for that. I swear college will be the death of me.

Anyway, what with Christmas coming up and New Year's which will follow soon after that, I thought I would skip forward a few months and make a new years resolution....in October. (It's not really a new years resolution then is it? Lets call it a new months resolution for the sake of my sanity)

But yes, you heard me. You're not going crazy.

I've thought about this blog quite a lot this past month and have put it off for a while but now that I have kind of settled into my second year of college, I think its time I set apart a day or two in my hectic life and dedicate it to you guys.

(This is where you cheer loudly at your computer screen)

So, I have decided that for now I will put up a new blogpost every Friday. Hopefully, by mid November I will have more inspiration and ideas on what to post for you.

BUT: I'm always open to recommendations or requests so if there is something that you really want me to review or shed some light on, then please feel free to let me know via any social networking site. (I sound like a commercial lol)

Also, I feel like this blog is visually quite poor so if anyone of you are whizzes on the complicated subject that is Blogger then again, let me know :)

Hope you're having a wonderful day/evening and if there are any Muslims reading this now, Eid Mubarak!
