Women & Money by Patricia Annino

This book is an easy read with great information, especially for those of us who put these things off. Too often, women ignore the state of their financial affairs and/or depend on others in their lives to keep them in order. It is only too late that they (or their dependents) realize the significance of having their affairs in order not only in case of untimely death, but with increasing life spans and advances in medical care, in case of incapacity from illness or dementia. Patricia Annino, with 20 plus years of experience in estate planning, offers a book that explains, step by step and across many different living situations, why being prepared is necessary and how to determine your specific wants and needs in order to plan appropriately.

The Mind-Body Makeover Project by Michael Gerrish

I am very excited to announce that my work (style and makeup) is featured in a new book. It’s called “The Mind-Body Makeover Project” and was written by Michael Gerrish (some of you might be familiar with his first book “When Working Out Isn’t Working Out”). You can read more about the book, a first of its kind, below.

I was involved in the final stages of the book after the participants had worked with Michael for 12 weeks (there are some awesome results!). With the exception of one of the male participants, I took each person shopping for a wardrobe to fit his or her new body and new look. I also did everyone’s makeup for the final photo shoot. I can truly say that I was incredibly impressed with how effective Michael’s program is and, I’ve seen two of the participants now 8 months later and they both still look fabulous! It really works.
