I wasn’t really sure how to rate this to be honest. The reason I’ve given it two stars is because it’s advertised as a book to give you hints and tips on cleaning your home where in actual fact it’s Mrs Hinch’s biography. She comes across very likeable and I enjoyed the stories she told but I really don’t think the book is advertised as it should be. There’s no cleaning tips in there at all just a list of cleaning products used so it was a total waste of my time really.

I honestly picked up this book thinking it was like a cleaning tips book with probably a kind style of teaching. If there are (not obvious) tips in this book, I didn't see them cause I didn't get that far
It's not a bad book. I think I'm just probably not the target audience. If I'd known this was mainly an influencer book I wouldn't have picked it up. I didn't mind that the author talked about how she got Instagram famous but I when she started talking about naming her cleaning tools and stories behind it. I became sure the book was not for me

Hinch Yourself Happy by Mrs Hinch is a guide for how to clean your house, and how to enjoy yourself whilst doing it!
It has a lot of stories from Mrs Hinch's personal life, such as how she met her husband, lots of recommendations for cleaning products, how to clean things, and space for you to write your own lists in, things that make you happy, and things like bits you want to declutter.
I discovered Mrs Hinch on Instagram in August last year, but I'm afraid I don't remember how, although I remember Caroline Hirons mentioned her.
Definition: 'Hinching', which is often taken to mean cleaning, but I would define it as using one of the many hints and tips from Mrs Hinch, such as diluting fabric softner with water, put in a spray bottle, and then spray on clothes or bedding to freshen up the scent.
You might have seen Mrs Hinch on This Morning, or in the papers! Either way, she's got 2.4 million followers on Instagram, and inspires people to clean. I think it's because she's the first person I've found cleaning her own home with the products, so I could trust her recommendations.
Definition: 'Hinch haul', which is buying multiple cleaning products, possibly buying more than you need, so you can stock up your Narnia (a store cupboard in your house or garage for extra supplies of cleaning products). Popular stores to carry out a Hinch Haul: B&M, Home Bargains, Poundland, little shops with cleaning products in. Products typically purchased: cleaning products Mrs Hinch uses, cleaning clothes, and baskets for storing these things in!
I thought this book is an ideal gift to give to someone leaving home for the first time, or first time buyers, because there's lots of information on how to clean things, and how to make your house a home.
Whilst there is a contents page, I think this book could have benefited from an index page, and it would have turned a nice book into a really useful home help!
Hinch Yourself Happy was published on 4th April 2019, and is available on Amazon to buy on Kindle and on Waterstones. I've found a link to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!

Very much enjoyed this book. It isnt the most well-written book but is very relaxing and easy to read. If you follow Mrs Hinch on social media and would like to learn more about her story then I recommend reading this.
Her cleaning tips are very good for 'beginner's', especially as she goes right down into basics. I'll definitely be using her tips when I have my own place!

Not going to be in the classics alongside Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, but there is something so likeable about Sophie, aka Mrs Hinch. Her bubbly personality comes across in this book, yet her honesty about her personal life is also very refreshing and makes you love her all the more.
If you're looking for a serious, intellectual read then look elsewhere but if you want a fun and light read about the nation's cleaning sweetheart then it's here in spades.
