Meet Your Maker - As We Fight

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... Read review

Advantages: An addictive storyline, hard to put down (if thats a good thing)
Disadvantages: I didn't want it to end the way it did

...care for her sick mother for years. The story shows how two people met as children and enjoyed each others company, shared secrets and couldn't bear to be apart, got seperated and grew into adults, thier lives taking completely different paths, one a successful (but lonely) solicitor, the other a broken mother who loses her child and has to deal with mental health problems. The story doesn't really have a happy ending as when someone kills as many people as this lady did the only thing that can lead to is prison, but you're left feeling sorry for her and wishing their was another alternative. The solicitor ends up meeting a man and being happy. After this novel I did go back to my library and reserve a copy of Remember Me, another of Lesley Pearses books, this book was as good if not better than Til We Meet Again, I don't flit from...

Advantages: Unputdownable ,Riveting story line
Disadvantages: None

...Till we meet again is another excellent book written by Lesley Pearce. As an avid reader of all Lesley Pearce's book I wasnt expecting to be disapointed with this one -and I wasn't. The book has an eyecatching front cover in pale blue with two little girls running through a field of daisys -Dont judge a book by its cover as they say! The story line is anything but a field full of daisys!! The book is exactly 500 pages long with quite small print but I read it suprisingly quicky in just 2 days in between my working hours. I do not usually bother reading the Acknowledgements at the begining of a book but this one caught my eye as it mentioned all parents of children who have suffered Meningitis. As the mother of a little boy who contracted Meningitis I was tempted to close the book there and then and not to continue as I thought it... Read review
