Great Patterns and clear directions!
At first glance I was already excited to make the patterns in this book! It offers a great variety of items, along with complete outfits. The best part is the writing of the patterns.

fun to read
I really enjoyed reading this book. It's more than just looking good. Yes, there is a ton of information on skin care, makeup, body care, etc, but Ms. Banks also includes self-esteem, sex, generosity, self-respect, smoking, alcohol, and more. I expected a more frivolous book from a supermodel, but this is real quality. Tyra seems like someone you would know. She has such a friendly, sweet ...

Thanks to this book, I'm on my way to Brazil!
In a few months I will be flying to Vitoria, Brazil for a "total body" makeover with Dr. Fabio Zamprogno Mendes ([...]) thanks to Jeff's book on medical tourism (I'll write back in September and share the results!) After reading the book I had complete confidence to travel outside the U.S. for plastic surgery and the tools to adequately research everything I needed to know to make my trip a ...

Mind-blowing...
Like a few other reviewers, I am in the beginning stages of my practice of Buddhism, and I have struggled with some of the concepts I have read about from other authors, lamas, and practitioners. However, when I read this book by the Dalai Lama, the veil was lifted from my eyes and I literally felt the sudden rush of understanding. Never have I meditated on a topic so deep and full of mystery and ...

All That You Want To Know
This is a very unique book. I have to say I LOVED IT! My being a young black woman, all the stories hit close to home. This book gave a non-bias look at black women's hair, and black culture all around the world including here in America. It gave many view points, from men women, blacks and even whites. I recommed this book to anyone who is confused about their hair and themselves. Nappy is ...

William Paley
Lincoln-Rembrandt Pub.
, 1986
A True Classic
William Paley's "Natural Theology" was written over two hundred years ago. But it is by no means an historical curiosity, for two reasons. The first is that no author, before or since, ever presented the Argument from Design in a fuller, clearer, or more persuasive form. The prose is elegant, the examples and arguments well crafted, the conclusions precisely stated, and all without either the ...

Informative and a whole lot of fun!
I love this book and so do my two kids, a 7 yo boy and an 9 yo girl. I originally bought the book to help my son learn to tie his shoes. He is left handed (and I am right) and has some fine motor difficulties. We tried my way and a few ways on the internet and just couldn't come up with an easy enough way for him to learn to tie. The book has the lacing on the outside. It is designed so ...

Should be required reading for every woman
Excellent reading material for any female. Coming from a generation hounded by Seventeen Magazine from age 11, this really woke me up to the constant messages we women are bombarded with from childhood. It helped wake up to the person I can become if I continue to fear aging and trying to stay 22....it gave me a new perspective on becoming a truly valuable person. A great first step to ...

A voice for Detox !
This is a great book to introduce people to the concept of toxicity in the body. I am tired of the comment "Well, there's chemicals everywhere, whatya gonna do!" Well, what you need to do is to educate yourself to the realities of the toxic soup that we live in. Alarming yes, but denial will not make it go away. Knowledge is power and the sooner you get on board and learn what you need to do ...

A Must-Read For Over 40 Divas
I loved this book! It was such fun to be privy to the secrets of the rich and famous. You'll find that these women are not much different from yourself. If you are a woman who cares for and appreciates her looks and feminity, you'll savor every word. Beware: Divas of the world will enjoy the book most. If you are flippant or carefree about your looks and the aging experience, you'll find ...
