Making the mundane a little more magical.
Overview: Written in true Louise style this
book is chatty, warming and ideal to read on cosy candles and blanket days.
The content very much reminds me of
magazines I used to read as a young girl such as Girl Talk and annuals.
One of the best aspects of Sprinkle of
Glitters book is how she manages to keep it relevant to both her younger and
older viewers. Louise started as a ‘Mummy Blogger’ documenting her pregnancy
and mothering tips meaning a lot of her viewers are mothers themselves.
Obviously along with her chummy, Zoella, Louise is queen of the teenyboppers who
make up a large proportion of her views. Louise manages to satisfy her varied
audience with the best example coming from her interior section. Louise goes
through how to decorate your space during different stages of your like from
family bedroom, university halls, girlie house, couples city flat and your own
grown up suburban family home. Covering all the aspects of her life through the
years and her viewers.
Life with a Sprinkle of Glitter is very
much in keeping with her blog and her Pinterest. This does make you question
why you should pay for a book when you get a lot of similar information from
her blog for free and the same issue applies to many other vloggers books. However
many believed that the Internet could be the end of the printed media so the
fact YouTuber’s are embracing and joining print media is a brilliant thing. For
true YouTube fans that really admire vloggers who will buy into YouTube books
would want to package up their favourite piece of the Internet and be able to
pick it up and put it on their bookshelf.
The book very much comes under the category
of lifestyle book with tips and guides for different aspects of your life
(beauty, crafts and confidence). What sets Louise apart from other lifestyle
books is the same thing that sets her apart from other beauty vloggers, her
honest and relatable personality. A lot of lifestyle books can be quite preachy
and written by a perfectionist who most likely gets up at 5am to do yoga every
morning. You won’t exactly learn anything ground breaking in Life with a
Sprinkle of Glitter but its full with sweet little things that are both lovely
and ordinary.
Personality: Chirpy chatty Louise writing
style but mainly includes common sense but does cover a good variation of
topics.
Looks: The size of the book is perfect but
the illustrations reminded me of Jacqueline Wilson and were a bit too little
girlie for my personal taste.
