Partial Review: The Invasion of the Tearling

I am three quarters of the way through with this book.  I started reading it after we read Queen of the Tearling for book club.  Well, I am a bit frustrated with the direction the author has taken this book.  The queen is now self-harming and it’s becoming a main part of the story.  As someone who has had an issue with self-harming (due to a medication I was on, and has since stopped) I can see this being a big issue for others.  If someone has an ongoing temptation to self-harm this book could be a trigger for them.  I wish the author didn’t make this part of the plot.  

Ok.  Off my soapbox.....

Book Review: Go Pro by Eric Worre

One of my upline leaders in Jamberry recommended that I read Go Pro.  I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed the read!  It talks about the basics behind direct sales/multilevel marketing, but he also explains the importance of being an expert.  My favorite theme in the book is the fact that he encourages us to "become a permanent student".  This is applicable in all our lives!  We should always keep learning.  

"In this world you're either growing or you're dying.  So get in motion and grow." -Lou Holtz

Here are some of the quotes that I liked:

"There are no bad experiences and no good experiences, only learning experiences."

"Let go of the outcome and focus on what you can learn from every experience."

"If you outlast people, you'll make it to the top."

"Technology can help us connect with people in ways that are becoming more and more efficient, but nothing replaces face-to-face interaction."

All in all this was a great book.  I suggest that anyone in direct sales read this book because it opens your eyes.  It helps you understand your business more, and will help give you the tools necessary to succeed.

Perfectly Posh Review: Snarky Butter

I got this sample in my box from a previous order from Perfectly Posh.  Normally I don't like body butters.  They are too greasy.  However, this sample was a pleasant surprise!  It absorbed quickly, and smells lovely!  My skin feels super soft after use, and stays that way for a while afterward.  This is definitely going to be my next purchase from Perfectly Posh!

It does contain Almond in it, so be careful if you have someone in your family with a nut allergy.

Book Review: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

I participate in an online book club through a combination of Tumblr and Goodreads.  This month the two books that were chosen were picked because September is banned book month.  The first book was The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.  It was banned due to sexuality in the book.

This is not a book that I would have picked to read, but I ended up really loving it.  In short, the current society is overrun, and women lose their rights.  They become baby factories of sort.  It was eerie to read because the way it occurs is plausible in some aspects.  It sort of reminded me of how Hitler corrupted Germany the way he did for WWII.

Margaret Atwood has a strong grasp on writing.  This book is very eloquent and a joy to ready.  I will say that if you like to read the last sentence of the book before the rest of the book DO NOT do that for this book.  The last sentence of the book left me longing for more.  I finished it days ago, and yet I still can't get it out of my mind.
