Here is the description of  Sinsational: Gritty Spirituality For Modern Women. 

Do you play like a demon at the weekend, but pray for an angel come Monday? Perhaps you harbour a penchant for dancing all night long, a secret tattoo or a tendency towards an occasional overindulgence, or three? Yet in spite of these minor 'sins' you feel connected to something more and you yearn for soulful depth. Your true path towards your own soul is, quite rightly, wayward, dramatic, raucous, jouyous and Sinsational! Your spiritual journey will see you trip and stumble over your own emotions, thinkings and doings. This is the way it is meant to be. Sinsational will address your contradictions, bring them home, and set your soul alight with the power of you. Sinsational is a powerful collection of articles from award winning author and spiritual diva, Alice Grist. It will plumb the depths of your soul offering up guidance, laughter, inspiration and solace as you begin your passage towards your very personal version of modern day, fabulously female spirituality. Sinsational is the only place where you can find all of Alice's articles in one place, alongside exclusive brand new articles written solely for this book.

I just bought it (told you she was too qucik for me!) so I will come back on it after I read it! :)

Dear Poppyseed, A Soulful Momma's Pregnancy Journal

As I already wrote here,Dear Poppyseed is the 3rd and last book by the english author Alice Grist . If you already read her 2 first books, this one is completely different, it's no more a guide and no more high heels! The sweet Alice has become a mummy and this 3rd book is her personal journal about her pregnancy, a kind of very long letter to her unborn baby.

By reading this book, you follow Alice from the beginning of her pregnancy till the birth and all the procedure that a birth occur. This book is, of course, a perfect book for all the mums in the world who would like to remember how the love for this unborn child increased from day to day and how a future momma keeps asking herself tonz of questions. This book is also perfect for the mum to be because Alice might answer some of your questions withouth even knowing it, and also if you are the only pregnant woman in your pack then Alice could represent a kind friend by your side. BUT if, like me, you're the single woman that still don't know if you're become a mum one day, this book is a kind of answer to a lot of questions!

Before starting reading this book, I was still wondering to myself "if tomorrow I finally, find the perfect man who would love me ( Not sure he exists! ), would i want to become a mum or not?". Im one of those girls who, when I was a child, I was sure I would do like all the women in my family : get married at 20 and become a mum before my 25. But it didn't happen like this and I started to freak out, everytime I saw or heard about someone getting married or being pregnant, the 1st thing I thought was "how old is she? .I became obsessed with that but for only one reason, I was alone and with no chance to know if my childhood's dream would become reality. When I celebrate my 25, I suddenly realized that I wasn't sure to want a baby because I don't know if I would be a good mum. Since then, I became a aunt and then thought that it's cool to be with a kid and play with this kid but it's also quite cool to give back the kid to the parents and to be free of doing what I want. Well I have a dog, as I can't have a human daughter, I have a doggy daughter and she's as grumpy as I am so as much as I love my niece, I also realized that having a baby is also getting a mini you. 
Alice's book made me realized one thing : having a baby is becoming a real adult! You still can be free to do what you want but now you have the responsibility of another person, a small person. And getting a baby with the love of your life is also a proof of love, this little human will be the "reunion of 2 families". 
That's also funny, because despite of Alice, I have another friend who had a baby girl (this year) and when you talk about pregnancy with her, she won't do it again. But my sister in law used to said the same thing (and she lived the same thing about the birthing (plus a C section)) but 5 years later, I had a 2nd niece. 

What can I tell you, this book makes you realized that no matter how old you are, you just need to be ready to become a parent, to be ready and to be with the good person. Alice also made all men realized that a pregnancy brings a lot of contradictions in the feelings of a pregnant woman, because even if everybody says it, I think that seeing this written on a white page would make some of the males understand that pregnancy is not always fun! And it's good to see that someone who is usually a proud rocker can become a very emotional dad who get the house ready for the little one. 

I met the little poppyseed twice and I can tell you that she's already a smart little person. 

So if you're still wondering what you want in life with your loved one, I think you should read this book and talk about it to your women friends and why not to the future dads you have in your area!!!  

Dear Poppyseed!

Today , July the 26th is the due date to the release of my friend's Alice Grist's 3rd and new book "Dear Poppyseed, A Soulful Momma's Pregnancy journal " .

No more High Heeled Guide, she's now talking about the journey that was her pregnancy and don't be fool, even when you're like me a "non-mama" (and if like me you think you might never become a mama), you still can buy it. 
I had the book in advance cos I pre-ordered it as soon as you could pre-order it but sadly because of work and more I haven't finished it yet but I WILL do a review of it, things i haven't done for her first 2 books :  The high heeled Guide To Enlightenment , The High Heeled Guide To Spiritual Living. Why? Cos I think I need to give a reason to the non-mama to buy and read this book.

You can find the book and all the links to interviews and articles or blogs wrote by Alice on the Facebook's page of the book and of course you can buy the book in all the good english bookstore ( WaterStones, WHSmith, ...) and on Amazon , and this book is also available for all the E-readers ;) ! 

And if one of your friends is going to be a momma soon, I think you should buy her this book as a lovely pregnancy present!

Alice Grist 's Book Launch- The High Heeled Guide To Spiritual Living-

On the very last weekend of July, in the city of Leicester, the author Alice Grist, launched her new book "The High Guide To Spiritual Living" at The Entropy.

I was there, I booked this weekend for this event even before Alice's had finished to write the book!

On this evening, everybody was welcome to come along and have a chat with all the people around till 1am. There was Free Champagne (courtesy of Haunted Magazine) , a barbecue outside, a full table was ready with a lot of tombola prices, Cupcakes home made by Alice's friend, some lucky Balloons with "inside" a price or a quotation from THHGTSL. All the prices on the table have been kindly given by some charitable and spirituals souls. Alice Grist was of course there to sign the book and she was surrounded the whole evening by every persons around. 

All the profits of the evening sales (including Tombola's tickets, cupcakes and all the books that have been purchased on this evening) have been given to The Harley Staples Cancer Trust and 300£ have been raised on this evening of joy.

Apart from that part of the evening, in the garden of the restaurant, there also was some gigs. The 1st one was from Ben Hartmann, a young singer from Leicester who played several songs alone with his guitar and his stool.

Followed by the excellent band MovE and on this special evening and because the stage was quite small, the drummer was on the roof!!!!! They played 9 songs plus an intro. They were quite happy to be there and the atmosphere in the small crowd was absolutely great. Everybody seems to be happy to be there and this was absolutely marvelous for Alice and the association.

The 3rd and last band was the mighty SuperEvolver which is the band of Alice's husband! It's was not my 1st gig of that band but the 1st with John on the drums and this was absolutely insane! In a good way of course! James Mabbett and John Kenna were in a kind of nice battle for the jams and Tom Bradshaw is luckily an excellent bassist and could 
follow them. During the set, James's mum decided that it was time for her to leave the party, and she naturally asked to say bye to her son while he was playing and asked him where was her daughter in law still during the song.  This was absolutely crazy but so funny and so into the "family spirit" of the evening.

The set list was :                Wicker Vicar 

Who Needs Love?

Ivy

1.13

Nymph Pink Angel

Cartoon Killers

9 Lives

 

That gig was the final point of the launch, people begun to leave the restaurant after the end of the last set, there was still some crazies (like us) who stayed till the end, and finished the cupcakes!

The Awesome and Pretty Alice and I

My friend Marion, me, Gorgeous Alice.

 
That was a brilliant and lovely night, full of happiness, spirituality, musics and love.
