Gflame toem guide lifting nerd6/24/2023 Each individual topic is clearly marked and begins with an introduction by the lifestyle vlogger and finishes with ten quick tips. Made with a sturdy paper and with a luxurious embossed finish, the book looks glam, perfectly befitting its title, and is jam-packed with personal insight from Fleur and top tips in categories such as hair, travel and fashion. While I don't watch many beauty vlogs, and up until a few days ago hadn't watched any of Fleur's yet, the beautiful cover and promise of a wealth of lifestyle tips really appealed to me – and as someone who was not a dedicated fan of this particular vlogger yet, I was able to review the book impartially, which I think sets me apart from most people buying The Glam Guide in the the first weeks after release. Those who follow my book reviews will know that I tend to stick to fiction releases, but when this gorgeous looking non-fiction title popped up on bookbridgr I thought it'd be interesting to review something a little different for a change. Review originally posted on Imogen’s Typewriter. My favourite of these types of books is actually Jennifer Farley's (Jwoww from Jersey Shore) as so much of her personality and culture is in it. I understand that as a content creator, it's sometimes hard to come up with things that are fresh and new, and that's why I think the book could've done with more about Fleur. It had some really great bits that just needed expanding- especially for the asking price of £14.99! Even for the £7.49 price on Amazon. I think the artwork and design was spot on and what was there, was good. Overall, I didn't hate this book but I also didn't love it. If I ever start a YouTube channel, I'll probably refer back to this. I hope the people reading this book really take it to heart.Īs a blogger, I was excited for this section but it was definitely aimed more at YouTubers which I understand. As someone who went to an all-girls school, this was a mindset I really had to work on as I grew up because we're all so conditioned to be horrible to other women. I especially loved the section on admiring achievements, not criticising other women based on looks. All were subjects dealt with class and honest to god helpfulness. Tips on self-confidence, body image, positive thinking and life goals. This! This was what I wanted and hoped for. Life, Love, Dreams and everything in between If you're a relatively healthy person who wants to start exercising then go for it. I will say I think the recipes were unnecessary for anyone with Pinterest but the Fitness Shortcuts were interesting. Health and Fitness is so personal from person to person I think it's a tricky subject to cover. I really don't have much to say on this section. There's a packing page, a page on travelling in style (nothing is going to make me give up travelling in sweatpants), a couple of pages on in flight beauty and a couple of pages on jet lag. I just wish this section was longer! At a meagre 18 pages, it was over as quickly as it began. I love travel, I love reading peoples experiences, favourite places, travel tips, everything. The tips are simple but classic and something I think anyone could do with being reminded of. I really liked that it wasn't just OOTDs and had actual recommendations of how to put outfits together. It's made me rethink my packed wardrobe and want to do a bit of a revamp once I have some extra cash. The fashion section was interesting, mainly because it's not something I know a lot about like the beauty and hair section. I did my usual sticky note way of reading (I swear my post on this will be up soon) and this section had none. You get some hairstyles, some DIY masks and some colouring tips. Pretty short section at 20 pages and again nothing new. If you're a beginner than this is a good place to start. If you're hoping for comprehensive beauty tips, I'd look into the Bobbi Brown make up books- they're great. The beauty section is one of the parts I was most excited for, I don't know quite what I expected but I definitely didn't expect the basic information there was, nothing you couldn't find in a quick google. This book is split into seven main sections so I'm going to split my review up as such. I've been subscribed to her on YouTube for years and years, and hers was one of the first blogs I ever found, eventually leading to me starting my own. I was pretty excited when I found out that Fleur was writing a book.
