Shower Gel & Oil by Nivea
Imagine massaging shower gel into your skin whilst you’re in the shower, feeling those tiny oil pearls dissolve and lathering up, making your skin silky soft for the rest of the day – ah, what a morning! And that’s exactly how the new Nivea Shower Gel & Oils range works! It’s basically a 2-in-1 combo: ultimate freshness + soft, skin. The two summer-inspired fragrances include Lemongrass (for the lovers of fruity, citrus notes) and Hawaii Flower (tropical frangipani for exotic birds). The question is, which one will you choose?
One Million Followers, Brendan Kane
Everything you ever needed to know about advertising on Facebook and so much more! This is the most insightful and exciting book about social media ever: loads of interesting cases to learn from, loads of practical information that’s easy to apply, both for big companies and small biz owners, and so many creative ideas you would otherwise never have thought of. How do you like the fact that Facebook ads can be used for data gathering and research way more effectively than any other traditional options – think questionnaires, focus groups, etc. – for example? One Million Followers by Brendan Kane makes you look at your time online from a whole new perspective. And hey, this guy grew his following to a whopping 1,000,000 in just one month so there should definitely be something we could all learn from him!
The Hiding Game. Naomi Wood
In 1922 Paul Beckermann arrives at the Bauhaus art school where he is captivated not only by his teachers but also his fellow students and the mesmerising Charlotte, who has other suitors vying for her love and attention. Paul becomes immersed in life with a group of friends and involved in the extremes and extravagances at the Bauhaus. Outlandish costume parties, haircuts and clothes, fasting, love affairs and an abundance of booze and cocaine are in stark contrast to the growing Nazi threat.
Inevitably, the fate of Charlotte, a Jew, shatters everything. Paul blames others, but years later, and living in England, admits that he should have got Charlotte out of Germany before it was too late.
A great weekend read about betrayal, revenge and love that sent our editor scurrying off to learn more about the Bauhaus.
