TWITTER: http://www.twitter.com/robynschneiderThe Best French Pharmacy ProductsRobyn Schneider2018-01-18 | I wanted to share my top French Pharmacy buys with you guys since most of the articles I've come across always talk about the same few products, which I bought and, disappointingly, wasn't the biggest fan of. So here are my picks for skincare, hair, makeup, perfume and, uh, toothpaste. Yep. Toothpaste.
I'm going to post the products below with links of where to buy if you're in the US and just want to buy some fancypantsy French products. But they're far more expensive in the US, at least double the price they are in France, ugh, so if you're going to be traveling abroad, definitely check out Pharmacy Monge or City Pharma in Paris.
Something I'm also including in this video are my French Pharmacy Regret Purchases-- products I picked up that didn't quite work out for me. So if you were thinking you could just click the links below and not watch the video...ha, because some of these are my not-recommends.
None of these are affiliate links. I don't care if I make twenty cents because you bought a sunscreen, seriously. Maybe buy my books if you're feeling charitable? They're GREAT. You can ALSO get them at Target, just like the sunscreen. Start with THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING, then preorder INVISIBLE GHOSTS because it comes out in June and literally the main character bangs on about French girl hair in chapter one so it is ON BRAND.Q&A #1: WRITING!Robyn Schneider2018-01-11 | All the writing advice you asked for...well, okay, 8 minutes worth.

It's so exciting to be back here making videos--and sharing some really amazing news with you guys! My novel Invisible Ghosts comes out on June 5, 2018 and I cannot WAIT! The producers are also in the process of casting the Beginning of Everything movie, which STILL doesn't mean there's definitely going to be a movie, but maybe?, in which case I'm pretty sure I would spontaneously combust.
p.s. oh dearrrr my shirt. i justttt got back from getting my hair trimmed all cute for book tour and clearly didn't bother looking in a mirror before plonking down in front of the camera. so i'm sure you can all tell how VERY excited i am about tour/trailer/book releaseEXTRAORDINARY MEANS | OFFICIAL TRAILERRobyn Schneider2015-05-22 | Trailer for the YA novel Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider, coming May 26 from Harper Collins.

Book description: From the author of The Beginning of Everything: two teens with a deadly disease fall in love on the brink of a cure.
At seventeen, overachieving Lane finds himself at Latham House, a sanatorium for teens suffering from an incurable strain of tuberculosis. Part hospital and part boarding school, Latham is a place of endless rules and confusing rituals, where it's easier to fail breakfast than it is to flunk French.
There, Lane encounters a girl he knew years ago. Instead of the shy loner he remembers, Sadie has transformed. At Latham, she is sarcastic, fearless, and utterly compelling. Her friends, a group of eccentric troublemakers, fascinate Lane, who has never stepped out of bounds his whole life. And as he gradually becomes one of them, Sadie shows him their secrets: how to steal internet, how to sneak into town, and how to disable the med sensors they must wear at all times.
But there are consequences to having secrets, particularly at Latham House. And as Lane and Sadie begin to fall in love and their group begins to fall sicker, their insular world threatens to come crashing down.
Told in alternating points of view, Extraordinary Means is a darkly funny story about doomed friendships, first love, and the rare miracle of second chances.

Follow Joanie: instagram.com/joanie_sAsk Robyn! (Q&A #1)Robyn Schneider2014-06-15 | This was fun. Question-answering and whatnot. Guess I should do more of these. (note- all questions are spoiler-free if you haven't read my book yet!)
Further note- in re: Whitman quote. It's actually "I am large, I contain multitudes." Figures I'd get that wrong. This is me, sounding my off-key yawp over the rooftops of the world. *sigh*
Fabio- the shirtless blond Italian model on the cover of every tacky romance novel ever the bird- incidentally it was a GOOSE. Can you imagine?! the location- Busch Gardens
Incidentally my book is called THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING (if you are in the US) and SEVERED HEADS, BROKEN HEARTS (if you are in the UK) and it comes out in August and you should totally buy it because there is a roller coaster decapitation in the first chapter.
My young adult novel, The Beginning of Everything, was just published by HarperCollins- it also features some German words (and flash mobs, and cute boys, and kissing, and Disneyland).

here is a summary of the book- Golden boy Ezra Faulkner believes everyone has a tragedy waiting for them—a single encounter after which everything that really matters will happen. His particular tragedy waited until he was primed to lose it all: In one spectacular night, a reckless driver shatters Ezra's knee, his athletic career, and his social life.
No longer a front-runner for Homecoming King, Ezra finds himself at the table of misfits, where he encounters new girl Cassidy Thorpe. Cassidy is unlike anyone Ezra's ever met—achingly effortless, fiercely intelligent.
Together, Ezra and Cassidy discover flash mobs, buried treasure, and a poodle that might just be the reincarnation of Jay Gatsby. But as Ezra dives into his new studies, new friendships, and new love, he learns that some people, like books, are easy to misread. And now he must consider: If one's singular tragedy has already hit, what happens when more misfortune strikes?
Robyn Schneider's Severed Heads, Broken Hearts is a lyrical, witty, and heart-wrenching novel about how difficult it is to play the part that people expect, and how new beginnings can stem from abrupt and tragic endings.

And here they are, in order of effectiveness (just kidding, in order of appearance. God, I made up about two thirds of these. In other news, I have no life.)
If I were to look into the Mirror of Erised, I'd see the two of us together. Let's pretend I'm the Titanic so you can go down on me. You remind me of Pokemon. I just wanna Pikachu. Did you clean your pants with Windex? Because I can practically see myself in them. I'm just like Oliver Wood, baby... I'm a keeper! You know, it's not the length of the vector that counts; it's how you apply the force. You must be an adverb, because you sure do modify me! What has three hearts, two heads and four legs? Want to go back to my TARDIS and find out? You remind me of my small toe, because I'd totally bang you on the coffee table. Ready for the Captain's Log to make an entry? I don't know if you're in my range, but I'd sure like to take you back to my domain. I've lost my sonic screwdriver, can I hold you? I wish I you were my problem set because then you'd be really hard and I'd be doing you on the desk. Let's play the Avengers. I can be the hulk and you can be Stark naked. If you were a post on Tumblr, I'd like you. How do polar bears flirt with cute girls? They tell a little joke to break the ice. You're like a video game controller, I can't keep my hands off of you. I wish you were a card in my Magic deck so I could tap you. You're like that long block in Tetris...You're just what I need and I've been waiting for you to score.Extreme Obscure Grammar Challenge!
