Book recommendation - What would Audrey do?

Summer time equals reading time! Do you also love Audrey Hepburn and her unbeatable style and her never fading positivity? Then this is a great read for you. Its called What would Audrey do? and is written by Pamela Keogh. Its the most blissful read and very very inspiring. Its divided into 10 chapter such as Romance Central, Zen Audrey (my favorite :) and Home Studies.

The book gives you Audrey's take on almost everything. Would Audrey ask a guy out on a first date? That would be a no.  Or her checklist on how to make a house a home. I actually adored that list, including music, scented candles, flowers and beautiful china.

You can order the book here. Happy summer reading!

Home Goddess

Alot of reading today. Basically I am crazy for books. I obsesivelly collect cookbooks, read love stories, chic lit, classics and criminal stories all the time and can never not buy a nice girly coffee table book when I see one. Another favorite is The Goddess Experience by Gisele Scanlon that I picked up at Urban Outfitters a few years ago. Its the follow up to her lovely The Goddess Guide that I also absolutely adore.

One of the chapters decribes different type of Godess-es, quite entertaining. Though I dont believe that everyone is just one type, I could def. find my type quite easy - Home Goddess:

She is a home bird, who pride herself on a beautifully kept nest box. She'll churn out scones in the morning and cupcakes for tea, even when there are a million other things to do. The home goddess is always on the lookout for little things to make her nest more special, is never seen without a notebook to keep notes on different food she found and she just adores little teacups and flowers. Her treats is beautiful baths, beautiful flowers and beautiful candles. Her nest is all fresh linen, sparkling surfaces and hotel deluxe.

Oh I simply adore the text. This is so me and my home I am building up.

What would Audrey do?

Reading of the day togeather with my new lovely scented candle from Crabtree & Evelyn (lemon & basil). Focusing and resting and trying to get better from my cold.

The Happiness Project

The hapiness project by G. Rubin is based on the epiphany she had on a bus one rainy afternoon: Am I as happy as I could be? She decides to spend one year to systematically find out - and launches her very own hapiness project where each month has a special topic like Finding more energy, pursuing a dream or cherish love. I really recommend it!
