Book Review: Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

Image
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman  opens with the people at an apartment viewing being taken hostage after a bank robber fails at trying to rob a bank.  I was extremely excited to read Anxious People and got the ebook on sale. However, I never got around to reading the book   until one of my book clubs decided to discuss it for the month of June. I am saddened to say that I was extremely disappointed in the story as it wasn't what I was expecting. First and foremost, I found the book to be too long and thought it could have easily been shortened without it affecting the story. Additionally, I struggled with finishing it because it was painfully slow and boring. I found myself wondering if the author was ever going to get to the big reveal. It seriously felt like required reading for school, and if I wasn't reading Anxious People for book club, I wouldn't have finished the book. There was so much hype about this novel, and I'm not quite sure why. It just wasn't for m...

Product Review: Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine

When I heard that I would be receiving a VoxBox from Influenster.com, I was excited to be testing another product. I recently received my product . . . Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, which I received for free in exchange for my honest review of the product. I never really know if I'm going to receive a sample size or a full size product, but in this case, I received a sample size.

Normally, I wear Giorgio Women by Giorgio Beverly Hills Perfume for Women, so I was excited to try out a new perfume to see if I might have an alternate scent to wear and because I do love the scent of roses and tangerine. In testing Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, there were things that I liked and things I didn't like.

Let's begin with the pluses. It's a very light scent that actually complemented me well. Usually when I try out new scents, I never get any complements on it, but with Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, I received positive reactions. My mom liked how it smelled so much that she wanted to try it out.

The negatives for me are that when I first sprayed Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine on me, it was very strong smelling. With that being said, it did settle down a lot and ended up being very subtle, but it took about 30 minutes for it to do that. The other down side was that whenever I sprayed the perfume, it gave me a small headache, which thankfully went away after a brief amount of time. I was expecting to smell hints of the tangerine in Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, but all I smelled was the rose, which was a little disappointing because I wanted at least a subtle hint of citrus.

All in all, I was very pleased with Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, and I give it four out of five stars. I definitely would recommend this product to anyone who likes the scent of rose but not to those who are expecting a citrus scent because you'd likely be disappointed.
