Filberts Bees Lime and Coconut Lip Balm

I work in a clothes boutique and I only discovered Filberts Bees thanks to working there.  During the day my lips get quite dry so I decided to buy one.  I love it, the flavour is so nice and fruity with a little tang from the lime.  It lasts for a long time too and it helps that my boyfriend also likes it.



I love Filberts Bees as a brand as their other products are equally as good as the lip balm.  For Christmas I bought my boyfriend some of the natural bees wax candles and he loves them and he bought himself some of their natural wax shoe polish for his boots.  There are other flavours for the lip balms but the Lime and Coconut is absolutely the best.  I am not quite as convinced about the Mint Chocolate flavour but I am sure it is as nice for people who like chocolate flavoured things.

I also use the Rose and Bergamot nail and cuticle balm which is also very very good.  All in all I would not leave the house with out my Lime and Coconut lip balm.

2 Broke Girls - Its Amazing

I watch a lot of TV series in my spare time and unfortunately I had come to the end of the ones I had been watching so I decided to look through an A-Z of TV programs that were the most popular at the moment and I didn't even get past the number 2 or get to the letter A.  I had seen 2 broke girls advertised on tv but never seen it so I thought why not give it a try.

As soon as I watched the first episode I was hooked.  I found it hilarious and I found it heart warming the friendship that develops between Max and Caroline.  I am also quite impressed by the way Caroline handles the situation of loosing everything and just picks her self up and accepts her situation and gets on with it.  I would never be able to do it.  I loved the episode where Max takes Caroline to good will and Caroline does a funny dance about an item she finds.....it also inspired me to look through more charity shops to see what I can find.  I love the episode in Carolines townhouse also.  Season two is halfway through now and I am loving it, the episodes keep getting funnier and funnier and I laugh out loud so many times which is very rare for me.  I cant wait to watch more and see them develop the characters and storyline more.  I think the script is very well written and is a fantastic light hearted comedy about friendship.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Broke_Girls  the program stars Kat Dennings as Max black and Beth Behrs as Caroline Channing.  I truly think this is a brilliant program and even my boyfriend has started to watch it with me.

Void Moon By Michael Connelly

My friend decided to lend me all 7 of her Michael Connelly books as we both have a similar liking for thriller, detective style books.  I have enjoyed all of them but Void Moon really stuck out for me.  I was completely engaged straight away by the Character of Cassie and all the way through the book I wanted to find out what happened to Max.  The book was written in such a way that I felt in awe of the character Cassie and her bravery and cleverness.  I read this book within 2 days it was a brilliant read and I would recommend it to anyone.

The book is set in Las Vegas and reminds me of a version of Oceans Elevan as it has a similar plot line.

The book has a stand alone plot which means you don't have to read any of the previous books by Michael Connelly and it is not connected to any of the other series that he has done which I really liked.    I think I enjoyed it the most as the leading character was female so the book was written mostly from a female perspective and by the time a male angle was introduced I was already hooked on the book and couldn't stop turning the pages.www.michaelconnelly.com/

Temptation Island by Victoria Fox

When I originally picked up this book I thought it looked a very similar style to Tasmina Perry’s books.  I was right in a certain sense however this book offered so much more than I was expecting.  I loved all of the Characters and how they interacted.  The story was told from 3 different perspectives throughout the book – One character involved with someone from the inner mystery, one a result of the mystery and the third would have been involved in the mystery directly.  The only part that I felt needed more expansion was the friendship between the two characters Aurora and Pascale as I felt that it was left a little bit unfinished. 

I was extremely impressed with this book and I got a lot more than I bargained for, some of the plot was a bit shocking and some raunchy.  The over all story line was good and you could easily follow how it unravelled.  I couldn’t put it down on the beach on my recent holiday and I wanted to keep turning the pages to find out what would happen next.  I think I will definitely be checking out some of Victoria Fox’s other reads very soon. www.victoriafoxwrites.co.uk
