Becky's Book Review - Meet Me At The Cupcake Cake Cafe


Hello Everybody,

Today I am going to share with you my thoughts on a book I just finished.



Plot 

Issy Randall can bake. No, more than that – Issy can create stunning, mouth-wateringly divine cakes. After a childhood spent in her beloved Grampa Joe’s bakery she has undoubtedly inherited his talent. So when she’s made redundant from her safe but dull City job, Issy decides to seize the moment and open up her own café. It should be a piece of cake, right?

Wrong. As her friends point out, she has trouble remembering where she left her house keys, let alone trying to run her own business. But, Issy is determined. Armed with recipes posted to her from Grampa, and with her local bank manager fighting her corner, Issy attempts to prove everyone wrong. Following your dreams is never easy and this is no exception. Can Issy do it?

My Thoughts 

I really enjoyed this book it is a great girly chick lit. I would definitely read the next book which is  "Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe". It also has a bit of a romantic story in this book. I would definitely read more books by Jenny Colgan. I loved the way she wrote this book. 

Overall this is a great book. 

I would definitely recommend it.

Summer Essentials- Pool/Beach Bag


Hi Guys,

Today I am going to share with you what I think is a good idea to carry in your beach or pool bag.




First I recommend carry a big tote bag.

Here is my list of top five tote bags that I think would be good to carry, starting of with the cheapest to the most expensive.

1 The Medium Brown Bag but you could chose any colour.

2 I think the Hollister Beach Bags are really cute. You can check out their site as they are having amazing sales.

3 Now I have fallen in love with this bag and its the Ted Baker Beach Bag, which is also on sale. 


4 Accessorise bags are great. I love the Beach bags, but I also love the Weekender Bags, which I think would also be great.

5 And for those that really want to break the bank, then here is a bag that is Louis Vutton Tote bag.

Next is what to put in your chosen bag.

First of all have, have a cute beach towel. Here are some links, to some cute towels: link,link

Next I would recommend taking a cosmetic bag. Some more links: link,link,link

In your bag I would recommend having:
  • Suncream
  • Lip balm with SPF
  • Hair Ties
  • Hand Sanitisers  
And anything else you think would be good to take with you depending on your needs.

I would recommend adding to your bag:
  • Sunglasses 
  • Headphones
  • Phone/Ipod/ tablet etc
  • Book/magazines 
  • Sunhat 
  • Food to snack on Eg crackers, bars, nothing that could melt like chocolate.
  • Water 
  • Cover up, dress, sarong 

Hope this helped to chose what you take with you to the beach or pool !
