Nothing To Envy- Barbara Demick

I was sitting on my bed browsing the internet when I looked up and felt almost ashamed of not having written anything about this book earlier.
I picked this book up on a whim about a year or so ago at Waterstones as there was an offer on and I needed one more book to make it apply. I couldn't find another book I specifically wanted so I just read the back of this and decided to give it a go. It's probably the best impulse buy I've ever made.
This book was such an eye opener into Kim Il-sung's and Kim Jong-il's reign. The book follows the lives of ordinary people and recounts their experiences at the time. The most shocking part of the book for me was about the North Korean famine that occurred from 1994 to 1998. It was truly horrific hearing about what these people had to go through.
This book is amazing. I found it so informative and gripping. Sometimes it was hard to remember that the events that happened, actually happened to real people. I'd definitely recommend giving it a read.

Accessories

Hello all!

So I've been looking for a few accessories recently and thought I'd share some that I really want. 

1. Kristen. Green Gemstone Necklace from Regal Rose- £16
2. Cecilia Scarf from Monki- £18
3. Pixie Tibetan Feather Earrings from Regal Rose- £6
4. I Love Crafty Feline Fatale Kitty Earrings from Motel Rocks- £8
5. Green Bird-shape Diamond Pendent Earrings from Romwe- £11.99
6. Amy Stag Wallet from Accessorize- £12 
7. Totty Mittens from Monki- £5
8. Grey Pyrite Stone Pendent Long Necklace from River Island- £18

I love the colours of all of these items. I'm hoping to buy a few next month and then strongly hint at the ones I don't have for Christmas. 

Things arrived!

Mimmi singlet in whipped mint from Monki- £4
Colours- whipped mint, mellow me yellow, candy tongue 
The top is lovely however for me, I find it's a little low under the arms and my bra strap shows. It's a lovely colour though so if you like it and you are concious of this you could easily wear a bandeau underneath or something.

 Almira bag maps from Monki- £6
I really like this bag. The map pattern on it is beautiful. I'm really glad I bought it. It's really spacious too so  it would quite comfortably accommodate my books and folders. I am a bit weary of using it at college though because it's so nice and I don't want it to get ruined!


Coconut body butter from The Body Shop- £13.00 (I purchased it for £8.45 on sale)
This body butter smells amazing however I haven't had a chance to use it. I have lots of Soap and Glory body butter that I got earlier this year and I was going to wait until it was finished but I think I'll give it a sneaky try and perhaps post a review.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

Hello all.
Yesterday I went to see Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs live.
It was at Rock City and it's the first time I've actually been there so I was surprised by the size of the venue (I thought it was quite small). Me and my boyfriend were the first ones in so we got a good view!
The support was a lovely guy called Roosevelt who was really good. I hadn't heard much of his stuff but I was really impressed and will definitely listen to him more. This is his song called Sea. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but I really like it. In my opinion however, he's better live than in studio.
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs was great. It was a really upbeat gig. There were two dancers that came on stage for some songs who were fab. There was a lot of confetti being shot around which really got us all going and towards the end they threw a blow up dinosaur into the crowd!
Overall it was a great gig and I had a wonderful time although my knees are worse for wear!

Holiday

Hello all. I just wanted to share a few snaps from my holiday in Majorca earlier this year. It was a beautiful place. I think my favourite place was a cove we found while trekking. There was no one else there and it was beautiful. You can see it in the left hand picture on the penultimate row. There's a few more photos on my flickr if you're interested!
