Makeup Girlfriend: Tips & Techniques for Your Sexiest Makeup Ever!

Makeup Girlfriend: Tips & Techniques for Your Sexiest Makeup Ever!I've known Katarina for years and have never seen her look anything less than AMAZING. Always perfection. I can't wait to get my hands on this book and finally learn her secrets!

Reading this book was just like sitting down with your best friend to talk tips and tricks. I loved the casual, personal and funny flair to her writing style. Also, she writes about women as if we are ALL beautiful, regardless of our pimples or blotchy skin she just wants to help us uncover the Diva in us all, lol! Not to mention that she is not motivated by "hidden money"; she'll use the brands "Lancombe" and "Clinique" in one breath because she VALUES a product of theirs, NOT because she is SELLING a product of theirs! Loved this book! Marching to the make-up counter with confidence!

First Aid, CPR and AED Advanced

First Aid, CPR and AED AdvancedBuy this book not only because of a recommendation from your course and/or teacher, but your need for a reference book on the subject. God speed. This book is a subject matter expert, in my opinion. It contains visual diagrams of human anatomy, photos people in accidents, and study photos of first responders providing the steps and skills needed for first aid, cpr and aed. What more do you need? It has very good balance between written text and diagrams. This book also has taken enourmous to provide the STEPS in prioritizing first aid, cpr and aed. Flow charts asking What IF questions, and paths to follow for various senarios. Nothing is ever straight forward, and this book prepares you to think that way. Wow, humm? The quizes at end of each reading provides as a strong learning tool for students. So, you cannot take this book lightly. The authors have made it a crusade in providing such information. Readers are to benefit from the knowledge, and victims you save, well ... God Willing, you will see the light!!! The use of color coded descriptive text also adds to the ease of learning. All of which are needed, because its contents are handled with utmost superior quality and attention. Should ah/Could ah/Do It No!! Buy with the intension to read this, close to your heart!! Again, God Speed.

I'm giving it four stars because I already have extensive medical knowledge. Taking a certification course requires one to give

"textbook" answers and in this case, injured/ill people will not be textbook patients. I aced the course and some of the material in the book I found was misleading. It's not the wrong information, just different from what I would do. It was required for a course for my major, but eventually found that I didn't need it. It teaches basic CPR, wound treatments, poison, animal/insect/marine injures, etc. Lots of knowledge for someone looking to get basic treatment knowledge. I don't know if it can be used to study for the American Heart Associatons tests for CPR.

Looking Good: Wardrobe Planning and Personal Style Development

Looking Good: Wardrobe Planning and Personal Style DevelopmentNancy Nix-Rice introduces the concept of "clothes capsules" in her book "Looking Good." These are sets of your existing clothes (or helped out with items you might want to purchase.) These are tops that go with slacks, skirts, the accessories. You put them together in your closet and never have to say "I don't have anything to wear." You also can learn to purchase items (even those tempting bargains) that fit with the capsules.

But that isn't all that is in here. There is scarf-tying help, accessory advice, color advice for your complexion, make-up advice including a face chart, sewing information, mending, clothes and fabric care, renovation and remodeling out-of-style clothes, and how to pick the proper clothes to flatter any figure. And I mean ANY. She has photos that are astonishing, showing how even someone with a very full figure can instantly improve the very same outfit by using a buckle, the right color stockings and the right hem length.

Just about anything you'd need to know about keeping your wardrobe up to date and flattering to you is in this book.

This book has helped me make many positive changes. In fact, although I have owned it for many years, I have it out once again to review and get things back in order or in other words, "brush up" on my image. For anyone in or entering into the corporate world...it is an absolute MUST READ! Covering such topics of how you look, making do with very little, and excellent tips for business and pleasure traveling, it is a "how to" manual of sorts. Beginning with the basic clothing and storage space that you already own..sorting and editing, building onto your wardrobe with inexpensive accessories, packing for travel, updating closets and storage areas, selecting the most versatile styles, and ending with great tips on how to care for all. For travel it is amazing how few items can become so many combinations. The information on organizing is a definite read for women and men. If you haven't had the opportunity to read this fabulous "manual", treat yourself now! You may want to go ahead and order several because you WILL want to share it with friends!

I will give this book the thumbs up for the good content, the good tips on dressing and choosing the right kind of clothes based on both your personal style and your colour group. My only 2 dissatisfactions are: 1. Limiting dress styles to only the 4 groups are not realistic, I cannot find myself fitting into any of them. 2. The pictures are out-dated, with dress styles showing out-of-date clothes and accessories. I think this book should be given a new look (which is what it is supposed to help women to achieve!) of up-to-date examples of just what they are trying to show.

Read Best Reviews of Looking Good: Wardrobe Planning and Personal Style Development Here

This book is a strong reference piece with useful illustrations. I agree with other reviewers that the styles and color palettes could benefit from an update. The advice offered is sound, however, and regardless of outdated fashion lines in the examples they clearly convey the concept being illustrated.

In addition to the illustrations the reader is asked to evaluater her wardrobe using charts and graphs. Questionaires about preference are included as well as a measurement worksheet to help the reader sort out the information being presented. It may sound like a lot of information but it is an easy, managable approach

The manner in which these ideas are illustrated is the real strength of this piece-if the reader is very visual this is the book to have. The graphs, charts, and questionaires in the book also offer the reader options for reflection.

Frankly there are several other books available which offer very similar information, but I would still recommend having this one on hand as a reference.

I have major closet organization problems. This book has a great section on CLOSET CONTROL. What a great name for a great section.

This book also has great sections on the "Closet Capsule," Accessories, and "Shopping Smart." There is also a great section on what to know before you shop.

Youth Strength Training:Programs for Health, Fitness and Sport (Strength & Power for Young Athlete)

Youth Strength Training:Programs for Health, Fitness and SportAs a parent of 2 teenage boys I was looking for a book on youth strength training and I found it!The descriptions of sample programs are easy to understand and the photos of starting and finishing positions of every exercise are priceless. Highly recommended to parents who want to learn about safe and proper techniques for lifting weights.

Drs. Faigenbaum and Westcott are at the top of their game. The new edition of this book is a world-class guide to preparing student-athletes for the demands of sport and of life.

What makes this book so extraordinary is the authors' evidenced-based approach, and their application of an educational model to training. They do a superb job of explaining strength training as part of childrens' long-term development rather than just in terms of fitness. The discussions of its role in skill acquisition, as well as its transfer to performance and health, are terrific. They also do some important mythbusting.

The big payoff is in the authors' insights on the real risks of working with youth: missed opportunities to teach the fundamentals, the problems with early specialization, and the dangers of failing to prepare for real-world activities. Everything from athletics to ADLs involve strength and power, folks. Here's the curriculum guide.

Dr. Faigenbaum & Dr. Wescott have once again provided exercise professionals with a scientifically and evidenced based resource manual for the strength training of youth and adolescents. This book offers easy to follow guidleines and recommendations for the design and implementation of strength training and fitness workouts for youth and adolescents 7 to 18 years of age. The book also provides 100 illustrated exercises with technique descriptions using various types of training equipment. It is a must read and resource manual and belongs on everyone's book shelf who work with youth and adolescents in strength training and fitness programs.

Youth Strength Training should be included as an integral book in the library of EVERY youth coach, physical education teacher and parent that wants to learn the RIGHT way to train our youth! Drs. Faigenbaum and Westcott have taken a lifetime of scientific based research and practical applications of the proper way to train our children and young athletes, and have provided a well conceived, appropriate and safe method of training for young people. By following the principles, practice and programs outlined in Youth Strength Training, the coach, teacher and/or parent can not only provide the correct way to improve the strength and condition of the young boy and girl, but give those young people a way to exercise that is fun and functional! Simply put These programs WORK!!! This is one of the finest books I have ever seen on the unique and specialized strength and conditioning training for the young. The authors' work with youth for their entire professional careers is brought together in this book that is practical, functional, and easy to follow and implement. I give Youth Strength Training: Programs for Health, Fitness and Sport my highest recommendation.

Once again, Dr. Faigenbaum has succeeded with "Youth Strength Training" in proving why he is one of the most Prestigious & Well-Respected Experts on the topic of Youth Strength Training & Conditioning. The present generation of children are less active than ever before. This book stresses that children are not miniature adults and must not be trained as such. We must continue to bring the concept of "play" into the training of todays youth, as many kids lack the basic skills needed to run, skip, and jump. Without those skills and the pressure of the "early specialization" parent, transferable skills learned in playing multiple sports are lost & underconditioned youth are at a greater risk for injury & burnout.

As a Titleist Performance Institute Certified Golf Fitness Professional who specializes in Youth Performance training, I would highly recommend no other methods than the principles laid out in this book.The research and data based programs that Wescott & Faigenbaum bring in this book fully cover any underlying Myths & Misconceptions about Youth Strength Training. The authors provide easy to follow programs for any child, not just athletes.

I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend that any Parent or Strength Training coach have this book in their library

How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby: Fully revised and updated

How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby: Fully revised and updatedThis particular sex selection method has worked for us three times. I was monitoring very carefully for ovulation each time. That is the key. We read the whole book before trying to concieve the first time. We both work in the medical field and the suggestions by Dr. Shettles made sense to us from a physiological perspective. We tried for a boy first just to see if it worked. Not only was I pregnant the first month, it was a boy. So we tried for a girl next. Same thing. Our third time we tried for a boy and got pregnant the first month with a boy. We want one more child and are hoping for a girl. We'll see. The bottom line with any sex selection method is that it has to make sense to you and you have to be willing to follow it closely, but most importantly be thankful when you have a child regardless of the gender. Any "natural" sex selection method only works about 80% of the time even when closely followed.

What a well-written book! Reading Toni Weschler's "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" before I read this book helped in understanding the signs of fertility and proper charting of these signs.

In response to the reviewer who was upset that Dr Shettles advises going off the pill 6 months prior...her doctor is right, a woman may ovulate as early as one month after discontinuing the pill; this would allow her to successfully acheive pregnancy as early as her first cycle after coming off the pill. What it is VITAL for the reader to understand (by reading the preceding chapters and not just skipping ahead), is that Dr Shettles recommends waiting at least six months SO THAT A WOMAN'S CYCLE RETURNS TO A NORMAL, SOMEWHAT PREDICTABLE STATE. Only then, can she and her partner hope to practice natural sex pre-selection. Most of our physicians are only concerned with helping us to acheive pregnancy, be it of a boy or girl; any practicer of Dr Shettles' method should be thrilled to have either one...but if you'd like to swing the odds one way or the other READ THIS BOOK!!!

It is great to have a new edition of this terrifically useful guide to sex selection which has been in use for many years. My husband and i used it four years ago to conceive a boy and have just succeeded in using the method for a girl. We first read about it in Family Circle Magazine and Reader's Digest some years ago. We now consider our family complete. The advice in this book is the best. Two other couples we know have used it successfully as well. Thank you Dr. Shettles!

This book is great. Indepth. Goes into history of sex selection and how it works now. I am going to try for a girl and will update again later. I currently have a boy (not by using sex selection) However, if you go through the steps on how to have a boy, it is accurate based on timing etc. Regarding the single star that this book has gotten, it is inaccurate. You have sex often when trying to have a girl to lower the sperm count (men have more male sperm, this lowers the male sperm and gives the female sperm a better chance) 2) regarding the pill, the doctors recommend you get your period atleast once. Inorder to properly select the sex of your baby, you must plan and have "practice" months to determine your time of ovulation-only then can you use sex selection. You can not do that in only one month---especially for a girl. and either way, I would want to wait atleast 6 months to make sure that all the chemicals and sideeffects of the pill are out of my system before trying for a baby.

Want How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby: Fully revised and updated Discount?

It wasn't the most entertaining of books, but heck I didn't read it to be entertained. I wanted a girl and this was my last chance. We tracked for 4 months and we not only got pregnant immediately, but we have verified that we are expecting a girl in May. I have friends who tried the method, but not with the level of committment that it takes. They were unsuccessful and admitted to not following it precisely. So if you really want to choose the gender of your baby then it is worth the read and try. You never know.

Good Nursing Home Care : 10 Things You Need to Know

Good Nursing Home Care : 10 Things You Need to KnowMy mother is aging before my eyes and I have not known who to ask and receive straight, honest, reliable facts regarding what is best for my mom. It is always difficult making decisions when we are out of our expertise. Patty Robinson is very thorough explaining all aspects of nursing home care. I did not want to get the education of such facilities at the expense of my ignorance which would have impacted the last phase of my mom's life in a negative way. Thank you, Patty Robinson. Her father was a very lucky man to have a daughter who knew how to best help him at the end of his life.

Ms. Robinson's book provides the information I wish I would have had a decade ago when I had a grandmother in a nursing home facility for over 20 years. At that time we were totally at the mercy of the facility and had very little recourse if there was a problem. Such information would have been an invaluable help in the process. I appreciated the conciseness of her information as well as the inclusion of her personal experience, and as my aging mother my soon need help in making similar choices, I know I will use this book as a resource.

We have been anticipating the placement of our mother in a nursing home and found this book to be invaluable in understanding the process we will go through and how we can assure quality care for her.The book was well written-giving us lots of information that was easy to understand. The description of emotions involved was so accurate. Wanting to keep our mother at home as long as possible, the resources listed were very helpful.

This is the best book I've found on the adult child's dilemma when a family elder's care requires nursing facility placement. It covers a breadth of feelings and responses of both the adult child and the elder, and gives sensitive guidance.

Fitness Weight Training - 2nd Edition (Fitness Spectrum Series)

Fitness Weight Training - 2nd EditionI was looking for a book that would lead me step by step through a program for toning and weight loss. This book has it all. Instructions, starting points for weight on each exercise, suggestions of warm up and cool down, etc. There are three main programs outlined in the book, one for toning, one for strength training and one for body building. There is also a detailed section on how to set up your own weight training program.

I bought this book because I wanted a program to follow without paying for a personal trainer. It works! I was an absolute beginner and have been at it now for about 30 weeks the results are great.

This book is superb for anyone who is considering weight training for fitness. The different spectrum levels guide you through workouts geared to the level of YOUR athletic ability, from absolute beginner to seasoned athlete. The book offers clear instructions on how to perform the suggested exercises without becoming overly technical. It gives you what you need to know, and not too much more. The section on designing your own workout is worth the price of the book.

Buy Fitness Weight Training - 2nd Edition (Fitness Spectrum Series) Now

This is the most helpful book I have found for advice on locating or constructing a weight lifting program to meet your goals. The authors are obviously experts because their advice is backed with reason and covers a wide spectrum of needs just what you expect from consultants who know both theory and practice of their field. Whether you are a beginner or advanced lifter, young or old, this book will put you on a progression of good programs for a very long time.

The book helps you assess your current readiness for weight lifting, and encourages you to think about your goals as being in one of three areas: muscle toning, body shaping, or strength building. Of course there is overlap between these since any program will accomplish some of these elements, but it is a matter of emphasis in the program you will follow. Then the book has nice color coded charts for 6 different zones which are basically your starting experience level for any one of the three goals. There are also alternate week and month ideas to really help you get the most time out of these plans. The recommended programs usually last one month and then encourage you to switch to another for continued progress. Most programs introduce slight variations at week 3 as well. There are 2, 3 and 4 day a week programs depending upon your goal and experience (color zone).

There are lots of charts and helpful calendars, etc. You can copy the charts to track your progress. By using these tools you can learn more about how to design your own programs and the authors talk you through that as well.

It is important to know what this book is not. It is not a detailed exercise manual showing lots of different exercises and their variations. There is an exercise appendix so if this were your only book, you could do the programs, but exercise details are not the emphasis of this book. Nor is nutrition, or detailed anatomy diagrams both are mentioned briefly.

This is a great book of sound weight lifting programs for most of us. I say most of us, because expert body builders will probably find most of this book too easy or obvious for their needs. But for most of us it represents a tremendously helpful set of programs and ideas to get us from wherever we are to being more advanced lifters.

Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Power of Positive: 101 Inspirational Stories about Changing Your Life

Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Power of Positive: 101 Inspirational Stories about Changing Your Life through Positive ThinkingI had just graduated nursing school and now it was time to study for the boards. However, I allowed myself to feel overwhelmed by the material I needed to study I pretty much gave up on myself. I felt hopeless and angry! Nursing school was the hardest thing I ever did in my life and now I couldn't even study for my license?!

One day a girl from school messaged me and told me I needed to read Chicken Soup for the Soul For Nurses (which now I have) she had received a copy as a graduation gift. I went on my kindle app and ran across this book. At first I was like yeah whatever everyone tells you to be positive blah blah blah. However, something inside me made me buy it.

This book is filled with stories of encouragement and self determination. Stories of real people telling you to get your butt off that chair and do something with your life! In all honesty I have not read the whole book because I didn't have to. I thank God for this encouragement that I was unable to find within myself...and very thankful for those in this book for sharing your life with me.

I am now a Registered Nurse! NCLEX (boards) had nothing on me because not only did I study like crazy but I also had the courage of these beautiful stories in my Back Bone!

This book goes hand in hand with another Chicken Soup book: Think Positive for Great Health. It's divided into various sections, including, The Power of Attitude, The Power of Persevering, The Power of Relaxing, The Power of Gratitude and many more. It's no secret that a positive attitude goes a long way in helping us deal with many aspects of life. The beautifully told stories in this volume are definite proof of that.

What I appreciate most about all Chicken Soup books is that they're full of uplifting short stories, that you can enjoy reading to yourself or reading out loud to family members or even your students. I remember taking a course a few years back. At the end of it the professor read us a fitting Chicken Soup story which had most of us in tears.

No matter if you've read every Chicken Soup book or never picked one up, this is one you will want put on your `keeper' shelf. We all need a little `pick-me-up' from time to time; this can be it.

Disclosure:

In exchange for an honest review I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book by Shelton Interactive and Simon and Schuster Canada.
