Awesome and my god send book - By: A. Stone, 07 Aug 2008 
This book is awesome. She does offer a no nonsense set of advice. Beautiful, has been there done that & knows how we alll feel! She has been made redundant 2 weeks before her 30th birthday & reinvented herself! A great book, motivational & gets right to the point!
Stuck in rut.... Buy this book - By: JuiceGirl, 23 Jun 2008 I have read many books & watched countless makeover programmes but have never been inpsired to act on the advice given by the professionals. That is until i picked this book up by accident whilst browsing in the bookshop. If like me you have been stuck in a rut & given up then this book is for you. Whatr sets this book apart from the rest? The author's inspiring story on how she got to where she is today. That alone motivated me to buy the book. This book has re-ignited my passion for taking control of my life & to begin now to create the life i dream about.
A welcome surprise - By: koalah, 28 Feb 2008 I brought Nicky's new book after reading about her in Suzy Greaves' book 'Making the Big Leap'. Nicky was one of Suzy's clients & is mentioned throughout Suzy's book. I've never reallly been into the whole fashion makeover tv programmes, so I reallly brought this book out of curiousity after reading Suzy's book. I thought 'here's a chance to prove that my original opinion still stood'. However I couldn't have been proved more wrong. I reallly loved this book - full of great advice - & it's an excellent read alongside 'Making the Big Leap' - the two books give you both perspectives of coach & client (and they both mention each other in their books) & it alll comes together. Nicky is reallly honest & open about her journey & gives you tips along the way, not only about style & looking after yourself, but about following your dreams. I never would have guessed that prior to her tv show, she had to reallly stick to her guns & not give up & go back to mainstream just to pay her bills! Nicky deserves the life she's made for herself & now I keep going back to her book to give me inspiration to go after the life I want!
A delightful book to read & a joy to own! - By: Natalia Colman, 22 Feb 2008 I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's comes out at the time of year where it's reallly easy to lose sight of who you are & what you want, so reading it (particularly now) is very inspiring. What I have found most refreshing about this book is Nicky's honesty, passion & the way she writes from the heart. It's a lovely book that appeals on so many different levels & one I'm sure I'll pick up again & again. It's also something beautiful to have on my coffee table!
Not Just Another Look Good Book! - By: H. M. Codling, 19 Feb 2008 I thoroughly agree with the previous reviewer, this is a wonderful book!
I would add, don't think this is JUST ANOTHER "make yourself look good" book (this did cross my mind before I bought it!), it is so much more.
Nicky Hambleton-Jones offers a no nonsense approach to making the most of yourself, both mentallly & physicallly; & demonstrates how the two do go together. Whilst she offers a common sense approach, her style of writing is never irritating. She gives it to you straight, but in a fun & friendly manner. Rather like an older/wiser sister or a best, best friend. Her life experiences & skills as a stylist are alll there for you in a highly readable book, that is, I feel, both inspirational & movtivational.
I bought this book in the dark days of February, when perhaps the intentions made in January were starting to ebb away... It was the best thing I could have done. I have read it from cover to cover, & know I will be referring back to it in the months ahead.
I already feel lighter, brighter & more determined! Here I am writing my first Amazon review!
Thank you Nicky.
