My thoughts/review:

This book is a more in depth look into the first book The Beauty Detox Solution. She tells you all about the fifty beauty detox foods. Kimberly tells which vitamins and minerals that are in the beauty foods. She explains how the foods work in your body and how they can help in making you even more beautiful than you already are. I eat a lot of these foods already. Some of my favorite beauty foods are: bananas, garlic, kale, carrots, sweet potatoes, avocados, and blueberries. One thing I like about the book are the vibrant pictures. I still haven't tried a glowing green smoothie, yet, but its on my list of recipes to try from this book. I recommend this book to people who want to try a new way of eating or if you want to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet. Also, have you seen Ms Kimberly? I mean, she is gorgeous. I also follow Kimberly on her blog:  http://kimberlysnyder.net/blog/.

The Honest Life by Jessica Alba
Release date: March 12, 2013


Summary from Goodreads:

As a new mom, Jessica Alba wanted to create the safest, healthiest environment for her family. But she was frustrated by the lack of trustworthy information on how to live healthier and cleaner—delivered in a way that a busy mom could act on without going to extremes. In 2012, with serial entrepreneur Brian Lee and environmental advocate Christopher Gavigan, she launched The Honest Company, a brand where parents can find reliable information and products that are safe, stylish, and affordable. The Honest Life shares the insights and strategies she gathered along the way.

The Honest Life recounts Alba’s personal journey of discovery and reveals her tips for making healthy living fun, real, and stylish, while offering a candid look inside her home and daily life. She shares strategies for maintaining a clean diet (with favorite family-friendly recipes) and embraces nontoxic choices at home and provides eco-friendly decor tips to fit any budget. Alba also discusses cultivating a daily eco beauty routine, finding one’s personal style without resorting to yoga pants, and engaging in fun, hands-on activities with kids. Her solutions are easy, chic, and down-to-earth: they’re honest. And discovering everyday ways to live naturally and authentically—true to you—could be honestly life-changing.

Review: Treasure Yourself by Miranda Kerr

Title: Treasure Yourself: Power Thoughts for My Generation

Author: Miranda Kerr

Publisher: Hay House

Pub date: 12/3/2012










Summary from Goodreads:

In Treasure Yourself, international supermodel Miranda Kerr offers her own view on how her generation and those following can achieve greater health and happiness. Miranda believes that one of the most powerful tools to facilitate change is positive affirmation and she has collected over 100 affirmations from some of the world's most inspirational authors including Louise L. Hay, Wayne W. Dyer, Deepak Chopra and many more.

This is a book for empowering young girls and helping them boost their self-esteem. I like that she has questions at the end of the sections, so it can be used like a workbook. This book was colorful with butterflies and flowers in it. It's a very girly book. My favorite parts were the pictures of her and her family. She looks exactly the same from when she was a baby. I also like the affirmations/power thoughts in the back of the book.
