Ooh I know I shouldn’t have and the big problem I have is that if I fess to all of you what I’ve done then my husband reads this too.  I’ve told him not to, that reading my posts isn’t good for his health but he wont listen, “If you read what I buy then it will just upset you, so you just shouldn’t”.  But he still does.

You see when I tell you all what exciting new things I have found lately, he knows too.  But it’s ok because to help you all out, I will take one for the team.

Now this particular great find of mine is a double whammy, whilst it’s a tale of a great find, it’s also a tale of great loss.  My loss in fact and yes I do wish I was talking about weight, but instead it’s my GHDs.  I bought a pair of them about five years ago and they were lovely.  Didn’t get much better really, did a great job and, given I only used them about 4 times, were in a pretty much near new condition.

Here’s a hot tip, straighteners don’t work on fine hair.  Not a lot of point of straightening fine hair it only makes you look like you have a whole pile less.  So in the cupboard they stayed.

So, what’s the problem?

Well I lost them, can’t find them, disappeared, gone for forever and yes, you guessed it, I have no clue where they went.  Now the problem is that I have a daughter that has the most beautiful thick hair, which she would like to have straightened on a regular basis and no straighteners.

I do want to say in my defence that I have resisted this temptation before now to replace them.  Lets face it, GHD have brought out Gold ones, Black ones with swirls on them and lots more.  But their latest range really got me.  Oh my stars they are gorgeous.

Their latest limited edition rainbow coloured collection are to die for.  My daughters are going to love them.

There is Purple Indulgence, my choice, Red lust, Blue Serenity and Green with Envy.  We all know these are the best on the market, so I am sure the colour makes them even better.

In store now, don’t miss out as they are for a limited time only.

How did I go with justifying them?  Think I will get away with it at home?  Wish me luck.

  Now before I start, can I say that I really wanted to like this book.  So much so that I couldn’t wait for it to be in stores here in New Zealand I ordered it off the Internet.  Yes call me crazy but  I was desperate, the reviews said it was great, she’s Mehmet Ozs wife, it must be great.

So it arrived and I was so excited.  The book is titled US, ‘Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships that Matter the Most.’  I pretty much sat down and started to read, I wanted to know what she thought was the answer on how to live a great life.  She of all people would know, she’s married to Americas Dr Oz.  It’ like finding a secret path to the Holy Grail.  Or is it?

I guess we should never assume things then should we, which is precisely why I am here at thia point writing this.  I am here for you, to sift out all the rubbish and to help you make better buying decisions.  I wonder if I can swing that one past my husband, it was research and I needed it straight away.

I couldn’t have been more disappointed reading this book.  Really like I said at the start, I was certain she would be great to listen too.  You see when they put confusing statements on the inside cover alarm bells start to ring.  I love this one “The key to real and lasting change lies somewhere between what you know and what you do.  It’s what you think.”   Ok so what on earth does that mean, I hate these sort of statements that fluff around the facts.  What is she trying to say?  Why can’t she just say ‘The real key to lasting change lies with what you think”  see much easier.

So unfortunately most of the book seems to follow along those lines and if you concentrate  hard you will find the odd piece of good advice that pops out.  But most of it is hard to read, she uses words I haven’t even heard of and I require the dictionary to know their meaning.  This hardly smacks of a book for the masses, which really is a shame as it could have been so mush better.  I found her advice hard to understand and not memorable either.

So in a nutshell, don’t bother with this one if you are looking for a good self book look somewhere else.
