The Fault In Our Stars

First a bit about my reading back ground

When it comes to books I'm not your typical book worm, I wasn't the child that always had my nose in a book, though I looked as If I would with my big pink glasses but no that wasn't me.
I have never been a fan of reading, I was a slow reader when I was growing up not stupid slow but took my time to read what I was reading. I hated reading out loud when the teacher would say "Laura can you please read the next age to the class" I would politely decline.
It completely turned me off reading altogether, I'm ashamed to say I cant remember a single book I have read as a child other than university books I haven't read a book in 15 years I know shocking.

It wasn't until a couple of months ago that I started to read, only because my laptop ran out of battery and I had no other technology to use as I had builders in my house doing work. I picked up a book my mum had been reading written by James Patterson, my mum is the typical book worm always reading I never understood why as I always thought its so boring and you should just watch a movie.

That day of not being able to use technology changed my life it opened my world up to, characters that touched my heart that made me angry and made me see life in a different way it opened me up to a exciting new world that adventures are boundless.

my review

When a book is so hyped up you don't think it can live up to what you think it will be, but this book will rip your heart out and feeling like its being stomped on by Issac like the trophies in the book.
Gus and Hazel are weird, quirky, intellectual, talk like no other teenager you will have ever met, who meet in the most extra ordinary way in a support group who love nothing more than to play video games where he can save her and talk about a book and the universe and what life means who have cancer but they draw you into the book.
you fall in love with them both and hoping and wishing they could have the happy ending, but in a way they do.

Though their lives are cut short they have the most amazing few months together, its the best thing that happened to hazel when her mother makes her go to the support group she finds the love of her life loses her virginity and has a wonderful romantic dream trip to Amsterdam.
Its nice to see in a book that a young couple in love aren't shown in a childish way, it is the real know matter your age you will want to find this kind of love I know I do, I want to find my Gus that will leave his scar on me and wouldn't mind me leaving mine on him.
Though they are dying of cancer its not completely depressing, it doesn't depict the cancer as this evil thing it just sucks to have that its just life shit happens and you have to roll with what you have got in life they make the most of the precious time they have together.

Its sad to say I'm jealous of these characters yes their lives are short they didn't get to have many years together to have children  themselves but the fact they found a love that is real, makes your stomach have butterflies your heart skip a beat when she saw his crooked smile and amazing adventure in Amsterdam some don't find that when they live to 100, so in that way they are lucky.

What I learnt from this book is that's life cruel the universe doesn't owe us anything the day we are born we are not granted so many years and then that's your lot, we aren't granted the next breath so be grateful for what you get and chose those who can leave a scar on you wisely.

If you want to cry, laugh, fall in love with amazing characters, see life from a different perspective read this it will get you thinking and seeing things in a different way, I was sad to finish this book and say good bye to

Jordana Brewster cosmopolitan latinas

The stunning Brazilian actress is on the front cover of the Cosmo magazine, she oozes sex appel but girl next door which is hard to accomplish.

Jordana has become in the last year to a little boy called Julian, unable to carry a baby for herself she used a surrogate, say she found it difficult to hand over the control of growing her baby to someone else but learning so much about herself with going through that process. I think its great that she has opened up about this, not all woman can carry their own child and its amazing to see that there is help out there and now she has got her happy little family with her little boy and husband.

being part of the biggest franchise in fast and furious the seventh instalment will be coming to a cinema near you on April 3rd 2015. it has been along awaited film, that release was postponed due the sad and still hard to believe tragedy of the death f her co star of 15 years Paul walker. it will be a bitter sweet release of Jordana and the rest of the cast and crew as she said in the interview she still has a moment where she said  "I had a moment where I thought, Oh my God, I'm never going to feel the way I felt when I hugged him. We shared so many years of friendship, and he embraced life so much. The thing about Paul is he said hello to everybody. He didn't see people as different."
Paul had a passion for helping those around him and anyone that needed help this promoted to start a charity ROWW reach out world wide, when a natural disaster happens anywhere around the world they deploy the people necessary to help those most in need if you would like to donate (I have myself) or find out more here is the link https://www.roww.org/

when I look at Jordana I see a gorgeous woman who has an amazing fit healthy body being Brazilian their culture is to embrace your femininity  and thicker curvier bottoms which I love I love their culture and how woman view themselves.

I am  such a fan girl of Jordana's she is elegant, sexy but is  sweet and lady like which you don't see that often in this day and age she reminds me of Audrey Hepburn.

The Lob (long bob)

There is a new trend of female celebrities taking the plunge and cutting inches of their hair to create a lob (long bob).

Though I want long luscious hair, I have an inner demand saying cut your hair, its that battle in my head the angle wants it long the devil wants it short. With not just celebrities but some of the ladies I watch on Youtube the likes of Essie Button and .... have taken to the scissors it looks so cute but edgy to that effortless easy to maintain hair style that keeps making me want to cut mine but I'm sticking to the long locks for now but here are a few of my favourite lobs I've seen.

When it comes to woman's hair its our crown and glory, we want to have glossy thick hair that's in great condition. I have been growing my hair over the last 2-3 years it is now its not to far off where I want it just by my ribs.

My hair isn't in that bad of a condition I use hair masks every week to give it extra nourishment, I try to use as less heat as possible and let my hair air dry and only use my straighteners for those crazy hair days thankfully they aren't often.

Over the last 9 months I have notice my hair has got a little thinner and need to give it extra love to make it grow healthier, I saw this product on the www.boots.com website it says it increases follicle productivity, its meant to help it grow past a certain length, it has pro growth and caffeine to stimulate grow as it says on the bottle its creating the best environment possible for the hair to grow stronger and healthier  "If the earth's not nourished, you'll never grow beautiful flowers"

To apply the product you wash and condition the hair towel dry and apply the spray comb it through to the ends of the hair and leave it in and style as you normally would.

I have been using this product for 3 weeks so far I haven't seen a big change but it takes a few months to see noticeable difference.
When its applied it doesn't leave my hair greasy or sticky or way the hair down it has a really nice scent to it also, I will give a bigger review when I have used it longer.

We have this ideal picture of beauty and over the last week all I have heard and read is about Renee Zellweger, people wondering what she has had done as she no longer looks like herself.  

We have this obsession with the way we look we are consistently judging our selves and others oh that person looks good for her age, what has she had done why can we age gracefully and why isn't it ok to look our age?

Renee has had no end of people judging her and how different she looks, why is it any ones business on if she has or hasn't had work done its different when man have had work done and it is noticeable
we don't say wow he's had his eyes done or had a face life but with woman we pick them apart wanting to know everything they have had done.

We need to stop judging what other people look like and whether they have had work done people should be allowed to what they want to their own bodies as long as its safe.
