"Amazing Face" Book by Zoe Foster

Recently bought this book at David Jones (my favourite bookstore "Borders" closed down!) and just got through a few pages last night and loving it so far!

 Zoe Foster has some great tips! Plus she gives recommendations on specific products -a lot of beauty books don't do that. It's always very general. "Amazing Face" is straight to the point and very easy to read. I love the "Quick Ten Minute Face" tip. Very handy for busy mums!  

I forgot I had lipstick on when I gave Lucas a quick peck on the forehead. He is wearing my favourite lipstick at the moment- MAC Hibiscus from the Surf Baby collection.

What I am Reading: Desert Flower

A friend recommended this book for me to read and I am glad she did! (Thanks Minh!) I couldn't stop reading. It's about a African girl by the name of Waris who lived her childhood as a nomad but was forced to run away from her only home and the only world she knew and she ended up becoming a famous supermodel joining the likes of Naomi Campbell. It's an amazing story following her life (and it was not an easy life) and she's just an inspiration! It really made me think about how lucky I am and also how much I take a lot of things for granted.

It covers a big issue: female genital mutilation. It is something that is still being performed on women of Africa as part of their religion/culture. It's really sad how they do this to girls when they are so young and without any medical aid.

I highly recommend this book- it's a real eye opener!

My Fave On-screen Couples

The "Beauty Breakfast"

I got this yummy tip from the book I'm reading "101 Things to do Before you Diet" by Mimi Spencer. I hate to diet so I am loving this book! So many great tips:) Here is one I am going to try:

"The Beauty Breakfast"

• Before going to bed get a tub of live yoghurt and mix it with water or fruit juice to dilute it so its like a smoothie consistency.
• Add a handful of porridge oats, some seeds (linseeds, sunflowers seeds, flaxseeds), chopped prunes, chopped apricots, chopped dates and chopped almonds.
• Leave overnight in the fridge to ferment
• Eat in the morning for a nice wakeup call!

This is great if you need an engery boost and it says that it helps with digestion and elimination leaving you with clear skin and makes you bouncy! Yay!

Fave Books & Books I am Reading Now

A friend of mine has recently asked me what books I am currently reading but I've actually been too busy lately to read much. The only time I have is before I go to bed at night but its hard to read more than a chapter if I am totally exhausted. But right now I am reading a big volume of Janes Austen's Books. I finished "Pride & Prejudice" and now I am reading "Emma". I was just looking for a really good romance novel but had to settle with this till I find a good one.

Here is a list of some of my favourites:

The Kite Runner, My Sister's Keeper, The Lovely Bones, Like Water for Chocolate and Time Travellers Wife, Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Slumdog Millionaire.

That's just from the top of my head! I also love reading fantasy genres and I remember spending my entire summer holidays in Malaysia reading the Belgariad Series by David Eddings.

I went crazy over "Twilight" and its still on the top of my favourites list simply because I LOVE EDWARD! I wish he was real! LOL! I know, its lame! But it kinda anticlimaxed after Bella turned into a vampire but I still loveeee the first book. Its every girl's fantasy! If you dont love edward, there is something seriously wrong with you! ahha

And of course, I loved the Harry Potter Series....I was obsessed! I woke up early on a saturday (something I never do) to go buy the last book when it came out and I was drenched from the rain but I didnt care! I was actually feeling depressed when I read that Dumbledore died! boo hoo:(

So anyway, right now I have nothing to obsess over....hmmm actually, Transformers 2 is coming out this week! Really looking forward to it since the first movie was really good.
