Trinny and Suzanne : The Survuvor Guide


Trinny and Suzanne claimed on the cover that this is 'A woman's secret weapon for getting through the year'.  While I quite like what I saw of Trinny and Suzanne on TV, I wasn't sure if they actually have any secret weapon for woman to get through the year.  It's rather a bold claim and unfortunately I don't think the book live up to the claim.

According to these two ladies, 'Inside are all the nuggets of advice we've gleaned from our mothers, sisters and girlfriends, as well as those they've learned from us.  Each day women ask us how we cope with such busy lives. here we're sharing the best of what we've learned over the years.  We hope this book will inspire you to keep your life smooth and organised, as well as help you to look and feel great all year round'.

The book start with January and move on to December.  In between, Trinny and Suzanne gave tips on organising parties, sharing their favourite shopping destination in UK and in other fashion cities in the world like Milan, Paris, New York, etc.   They share tips on packing, on meditation, among others. While some might find their tips useful, some (like me) would find them rather juvenile.

This would set me back RM70 (about US$30) if I bought it but since I didn't, the only set back would be the time that I wasted on it.

A battle lost and won I’ve loved and lost I’ve loved and won Such is the conclusion I came to in my battle in this simple but  complicated feelings called love.

Birthright by Nora Roberts

Image
Synopsis : When 5,000-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger and romance. While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project – fueling rumours that the site is cursed. She must also cope with the presence of her irritating – but irresistible – ex-husband, Jake. And when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she must question her own past as well. If you are familiar with Nora Roberts works such as Montana Sky, Carolina Moon, Angels Fall , then you would have an idea the type of story she turns out. They made good hallmark movies out of these books. Nora Roberts also wrote as JD Robb but that’s another story. Birthright follows similar pattern. Callie is the heroine and the story revolves around her with murders, arson, etc.
