Book Review: Oh No She Didn’t by Clinton Kelly

Book Review Oh No She Didn't Clinton Kelly

I'm a bookish person who wants to dress better.  So what do I do? Read a book about dressing better.  I knew more than I thought I would as I was reading it, but I still learned a few style tips.  Oh No She Didn't had pictures for every single example, so this 200 page ... Read More »

Book Review: The World of Downton Abbey by Jessica Fellowes

January 16, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

To watch Downton Abbey is to watch a way of life slowly die with an epic story and it kind of reminds me of Gone with the Wind.  The best part of the TV show is the personal look into the servants' and nobilities' lives from the early 1900s and how they interacted with each ... Read More »

Book Review: The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling

October 15, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 12 Comments

Before I start my review of The Casual Vacancy, I want to make it clear that I only read 25 pages of this book (and it took me 5 days to even get that far because it wasn't keeping my interest). I also want to make it clear that in my life I have not ... Read More »

Book Review: Persuasion by Jane Austen

September 25, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 10 Comments

My first impression of Persuasion was that Jane Austen writes some interesting and detailed characters. Right from page one, Sir Walter was my favorite character. He's a jerk, yeah, but he's hilarious. I don't know that the characters in this book are as modern as they are in say Pride and Prejudice, but the author's ... Read More »

Book Review: The Curly Girl Handbook by Lorraine Massey + Before and After Pics

September 24, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 6 Comments

Before and After pictures the Curly Girl Handbook Lorraine Massey

The Curly Girl Handbook is all about how to properly take care of naturally curly or wavy hair.  I found some great insights while reading the first chapter like the preference for straight hair is a subtle form of racism and that 65% of women have curly hair. Yet most hair products are made for ... Read More »
