Reading Wrap-Up: January 2020

Review: 1940s Fashion by Fiona Kay and Neil R. Storey

I' ve read a lot of fashion history books, honestly, I have. When I was in London recently I found this little one, tucked between some really big books, but it caught my eye immediately! Is it one I recommend? Despite - or perhaps because of - the privations of war, the 1940s was one…

Review: the Fashion Chronicles by Amber Butchart

Fashion history is my thing, and I absolutely adored Amber Butcharts series on famous paintings and their historical value to fashion historians. It was my biggest dream to become a fashion historian one day, and considering that will never happen, I can pretend by reading all the books about it! The Fashion Chronicles by fashion historian…

Review: Briogeo Be Gentle Be Kind Matcha + Apple Replenishing Superfood Shampoo and Conditioner

My hair is important to me. I take really good care of it, to the point I always get compliments when I go to the hairdressers! I've been curious about the Briogeo shampoos and conditioners.

Review: Organic & Botanic Madagascan Coconut Rejuvenating Night Moisturiser

My skin is my worst enemy. Ok, that's a bit dramatic, but considering I've got rosacea, acne ánd incredibly dry skin. Like really dry. To the point it bleeds in winter, dry. Try finding a moisturiser that works with that! This did one? The Organic & Botanic Madagascan Coconut Rejuvenating Night Moisturiser is formulated to…

Review: Queer, There, and Everywhere by Sarah Prager

Note: 'queer' is still seen as a slur by some people, and reclaimed by others. I prefer to use the term 'queer' to describe my own sexuality. This book also uses this because you can't put an identity on people that are no longer alive. Just because a woman has a relationship with a woman,…

Review: From Here to Eternity by Caitlin Doughty

Fascinated by our pervasive fear of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty embarks on a global expedition to discover how other cultures care for the dead.…
