April Treasures

It's only just the beginning of April but I thought I'd share with you a few of favourite things this month:

Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

This is a wonderful book written by a wonderful author Colleen Hoover. She has never failed to impress me with her romance stories, all of which are page turners and are definitely different to the typical 'I love you' books out there. Many will know that I don't tend to cry at films or books but Hoover managed to make me cry with her other best-selling book 'Hopeless'. 

'Maybe Someday' is a very sweet and down to earth book, dealing with issues that are true to life rather than fanatical. Her characters are realistic and treat situations maturely and the outcome was pretty unexpected for me. After reading 'Hopeless', 'Slammed' and all her other books, I was really excited for this new release and although I did like the book, my favourite has still got to be 'Hopeless'.

Divergent

Divergent is a film adapted from the book written by Veronica Roth which I watched the other day with the Mother. As always, the books are better than the films and I'm not going to lie but yes the book was better. However, the film was pretty good and true to the book which personally I think is important.

It has been compared to the Hunger Games quite a lot because of the whole districts and factions malarkey but they are both different in many ways and need to be treated differently as they are both really good. I must admit that Divergent was quite slow in places but I know that-that is because they needed a introduction for the audience and I cannot wait for the next film 'Insurgent' to come out!

   Casting Crème Gloss: Blackcurrant

I recently decided to dye my hair again as I was getting bored of waiting for my original hair colour to grow out and only spending just over £6, this box of 'No Ammonia' hair dye did just the thing for my hair. I've used this hair dye a few times now and I've loved every outcome but this one is possibly my favourite even though I did like 'Cherry Red' too. 'Blackcurrant' is a really nice colour as it shines under the sun with natural undertones of reds and purples. This box comes with the crème gloss, colourant and conditioner and leaves your hair soft and smelling divine! 

Lola's Cupcakes

I love my desserts and cakes and absolutely adore cupcakes whether it is buying them to eat or baking them for others. I went to Bluewater one day and came across Lola's and thought I'd treat myself to a couple of cupcakes. They are pretty pricey at £3 for a normal size, but they taste so good! I have tried the 'Red Velvet' with the cream cheese frosting and the 'Ferrero Rocher' which was my favourite as it was a chocolate sponge filled with hazelnut and chocolate sauce, chocolate frosting topped with a whole Ferrero Rocher!
