Review: If you're already a fan of Tanya's youtube channel or her blog, I think you're going to love this book. It is everything she is already about, it's a very love orientated book with all of the things that clearly make her happy. She had said this was something she wanted to do for a keep sake and I can see what she means. A lot of this is about her life, growing up, her favourite skincare and makeup, baking etc. Tanya is such a bubbly, fun loving person and that really does come across! It is very 'her' and I love that! I sort of expected it wouldn't feel like something of Tanya's but it completely feels 100% like it is her own and that makes me very happy. I think there's so much to just enjoy in this book and I won't be just reading it once then never looking at it again, i'll look over and over at it for years to come! It also is great as it has sections for the audience to write their own lists, so when tanya makes a list about her favourite moments, there are spaces with headlines that she wants us to think about the same thing and list our own memories etc. Really recommend this book! Also if you buy a hardcopy it is so gorgeous, probably the nicest looking and feeling book i've ever seen! Well done Tan! :) xx

Review: I love that Youtubers are able to make a career out of things that aren't just youtube-based, so I'm all for supporting my favourite youtubers (especially when it comes to books) but I just thought this one was kind of meh. I'm a huge fan of Cupcakes and Cashmere by Emily Schuman and I thought this book would be a bit like that. It was, in a way, it contained very basic fashion, beauty, skincare and cooking advice. The book is maybe aimed at younger readers who are just starting to buy their own clothes and wear make-up, as the tips Tanya included were very basic well-known tips. The writing style is very simple. Short sentences are used all the way through, which can be a bit jarring to read. I found myself skipping sections and found them a bit boring, however one aspect I did like was the "top ten" lists included in each section. They summed up tips, memories or stories in ten quick numbered points and they were probably one of my favourite aspects of the book. The photographs are incredible - Tanya looks gorgeous as always and I like that she threw in some childhood snaps too, to make it more personal. There was a few pages in each section where you can write your own numbered lists like Tanya's and again, I felt this would appeal more to a slightly younger audience. If you're looking for a present for a young teen, this would probably be a great one as it is packed with information, unfortunately it's mostly information adults would probably already know (drink lots of water, etc). I don't regret buying this book as I love to support my favourite youtubers, but I'll probably be donating my copy soon.
