Day 2-I Am Malala review

On the second day of Advent I give to you a review of a phenomenal book that I have recently read.
 
I entered a competition to win this book not knowing what Malala's story was or anything about it. That's the excitement about new books-right? Luckily for me, I won the competition and I didn't even know until it turned up at my house. It took my two days to read this and it gave me the inspiration that I needed.
Just a little bit about how I won this book. Maximum Pop have a Twitter account for books ( @MaximumPopBooks) and they regularly do competitions, free chapters, authors take over the account etc. For book lovers or people who have an interest in writing stories, it is a great way to do it. 
I Am Malala tells you the story of a young girl who lives in Pakistan and her life is fine. She has education and her safety. But the Taliban arise informing everyone that education for girls is wrong. They bomb a bunch of girls schools and Malala fears that it wil be her fathers next. (Her father owns her school and two others). Anyway, she tries to fight for the right for girls to have education.
 
For me, this was a massive shock to my little heart. I never realised how much I have taken my education for granted. There are people who are fighting to go to school and I can barely get myself up to go to it. I never really noticed how bad the Taliban actually effected people. The fact that the story is written by Malala herself gives it the extra shock factor.
 
I would most definitely give this book a 4/5.
 
P.S. I recently made a Twitter account for this blog where I give insights to upcoming blogs, give aways etc. @laurensaunblog ty

Day 4-Fav Netflix series

Image
Since it's now Winter and all you really want to do is cuddle up on the sofa with a hot drink,snacks and watch TV (or read a book). I thought that I would share my favourite Netflix series aswel as a couple that aren't actually on Netflix. Pretty Little Liars!This is most probably my favourite TV series. Every episode is filled with intense action and it's all about 'A' and their torturous actions towards 4 teenage girls. If you have never seen it then definitely watch it! The Vampire Diaries! This show is bloody amazing! Not to mention there is a few hotties in the show aka Damon and Stefan. There is so many storylines and they don't waste time to start the new storyline. It's honestly incredible! American Horror Story! If you love all creepy shows just like me then you will love this show. Each season is differed and has a completely different storyline. Apparently they're linked somehow but I haven't figured it out yet. For me Murder House was the

Day 11:My Waxing experience

Image
As you do,I decided to wax my upper lip.I mean,obviously I don't want hair there. As I was waxing the wax strip ripped off a part of my skin.At first it was weeping but I was like oh no. When I woke up it had scabbed over and I look like I have a disease!  I don't know if you can see in the picture above but I have a nasty mark and it feels horrid! All I can say is be very careful when waxing your upper lip!

Things to do in the new year

There's only a couple more weeks until the new year begins,and you know exactly what everyone is going to be wanting to do-make a difference in their life. So I thought that I would give a few ideas as to what to do. Get a diary. Note down all your friends and families birthdays,any important dates,days out,everything! It will keep your week much more organised and you won't forget anything (hopefully). Write a journal. You don't have to do tia everyday,but it's handy for the days where you're feeling a bit down.If you write down everything, or even when you're happy it will be an easy reminder. It will be a great way to remind yourself of how far you have come throughout the year. Write down your favourite quotes.Buy a pretty notebook and write down any quotes you find that you just love. I always find that when I'm sad if I look at quotes I like it will calm me down. Read a book. Reading books broadens your mind and it's surprisingly relaxing. Buy a ne
