Customer Reviews

Stuck in rut.... Buy this book
I have read many books and 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 and 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 and to begin now to create the life i dream about.

A welcome surprise
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 and is mentioned throughout Suzy's book. I've never really been into the whole fashion makeover tv programmes, so I really 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 really loved this book - full of great advice - and it's an excellent read alongside 'Making the Big Leap' - the two books give you both perspectives of coach and client (and they both mention each other in their books) and it all comes together. Nicky is really honest and open about her journey and gives you tips along the way, not only about style and looking after yourself, but about following your dreams. I never would have guessed that prior to her tv show, she had to really stick to her guns and not give up and go back to mainstream just to pay her bills! Nicky deserves the life she's made for herself and 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!
I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's comes out at the time of year where it's really easy to lose sight of who you are and 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 and the way she writes from the heart. It's a lovely book that appeals on so many different levels and one I'm sure I'll pick up again and again. It's also something beautiful to have on my coffee table!
