Book review 1- Holes By Louis Sachar

We love this book and both thoroughly enjoyed it . We highly recommend it to most readers however feel if you are younger you may need a bit of help understanding the premises of the book. The book was written really well and Louis Sachar did an amazing job at showing the characters emotions and leaving just enough up to the readers imagination.  This book has also been made into a film by Disney however the books more highly recommended by us. 

It has been reviewed as "unmistakably powerful" Philip Pullman and Malorie Blackman as "if you haven't read it, get hold of a copy as soon as possible. I thought it was brilliant!"

The Blurb:
Stanley Yelnats isn't too surprised to find himself at Camp Green Lake, digging holes in the dried 
up lake bed, day after scorching day. After all, his family has a history of bad luck. 

The boys at Camp Green Lake must dig one hole each day, five feet deep and five feet across. But what are they digging for? Why did Green Lake dry up? And what do onions and lizards have to do with it all? The answers lie in Stanley's own past... 




We recommend this book out of five stars:

Spring essentials

With April being the middle of Spring we thought we would give you a list of some of our Spring essentials to help guide you from the cold Winter to the blazing Summer. This will include fashion, beauty and anything else to help you.

Beauty
1.  Our first beauty essential is a good moisturiser to prevent your skin from drying out. We recommend Victoria's secret: Daydream or Body shop: LOVE etc.

2. SPF foundations/BB/CC/moisturisers will come in very handy because even if the sun isn't boiling you still may get burned and harm your delicate skin. (we forgot to add in a photo but we have been loving the Rimmel wake me up and the Rimmel Lasting Finish lately.)


3. A hand bag must have is a lip balm that you love. Some of our favourites are the baby lips by Maybelline.



4. In spring you will want to look as healthy as possible and a good blush will give you that rosy cheeked desirable look everyone looks for. We suggest one with glitter or shimmer so you feel summery and happy !

Fashion
We have taken a picture of us in our favourite spring outfits.


Our staple pieces for this spring are :
1.A pair of good tights (so you can wear those spring clothes without freezing to death!)

2.Loose knit cardigan this will provide warmth and coolness.

3.Floral print dresses. Nothing says spring like flowers and dresses.

4.Canvas shoes e.g converse if your like Bella or ballet pumps if your like Jessie.

Other
1. Water bottle/tumbler cups, this may sound obvious but they will be so handy and you can add cucumber, lemon,mint leaves or even iced tea and coffee!

2. In Spring break you will want to keep busy with a good book or favorite magazine.

3. To make you feel more in the Spring season you could change up your room after all Spring is about new things!  We will be posting a blog on home DIYs to help you out with this.

Introduction

Hi, welcome to our blog we are two girls from the Uk age 14 called Jessie and Bella. We post updates on fashion, media, recipes,outfits, hair care and styling and any tips we think you may enjoy.


From a very young age (0) we were inseparable and side by side we holidayed together visited festivals and created so many amazing and unforgettable memories. At the age of 9 we stopped growing and reached our potential height. After going to separate nurseries and primary schools we started going to school together in secondary school. Throughout primary our fashion, music and social tastes expanded and we developed our own styles and opinions; Much of our tastes are the same however many completely differ and we also share influences of style with each other, we do so many things together from DIY to baking and we thought that we can make even more memories but also let you enjoy reading all the things we get up to!

Love From
Bella and Jess x

If something doesn't go right just go left!
