As We Speak - David Sanborn

It's the end of the Youth as We Know It

Advantages: Plumps out skin and leaves it glowing, fantastic moisturiser, minimises wrinkles
Disadvantages: Potential irritants, no SPF, high price tag

As winter sets in it?s easy to see the effect the cold weather has on your skin, leaving it dry, red and just downright irritated. I always find that I need a new moisturiser as Autumn comes around and this year I splashed out on Bliss?s The Youth as we Know It after hearing great things about it. Bliss is an uber expensive range of skin and body lotions and potions, a sideline of the fantastically successful BlissSpa in New York. The Spa and the product range was launched by inexplicably young looking Marcia Kilgore (who then went on to develop the far more affordable Soap & Glory range) and their products are lauded by beauty experts everywhere, often coming with a price tag more akin to the deposit on your first house. My own experience with the Bliss range is somewhat hit and miss ? when I find a product I like it quickly becomes ...

Review of Bliss The Youth As We Know It

Our world ends tonight... Will we survive?

Advantages: A brill read, can't wait for reading the sequel
Disadvantages: NONE!

though they're the ones who would lose the most. The next thing I knew, I was deciding just how to end the world. I've always been fascinated by consequences, the 'what happens next' of stories, so 'Life As We Knew It' was natural for me - what happens next in a teenager's life when everything in the world shatters, and all she can do is fight, along with her family, to survive?" This really defines how such a great thoughtful idea can become such a great book. Now you may have noticed that in my recent book reviews I've been saying that I should start reading more adult books as the children's section has become pretty boring, however, this is categorised in the same category as "Beast" and "Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie", although, those were not to my interest, I fully enjoyed reading "Life As We Knew It" and wouldn't mind reading it ...

Review of Life As We Knew It - Susan Beth Pfeffer

David Cook

Advantages: Current American Idol winner, a musician
Disadvantages: None

This...... is the current American Idol Winner. David Cook is the American Idol that nearly never was. He actually was not initially going to try out for the television talent show, he was at the auditions to support his brother but, after some pushing from his brother, decided to audition too. A good decision, because he became the winner of the seventh season of American Idol in 2008. David Cook is classified as a Rock, singer-songwriter. His sound is definitely very rocky, but in my opinion quite soft rock. He has a very deep, raspy voice that lends itself very well to this type of music. What I really like about him is that he can actually play an instrument, unlike a lot of the new pop stars out there today who are just manufactured. He plays the guitar and actually used it quite a lot when he was performing on Idol. If you look ...
