Classic info and a good pep talk

Barbara speaks plainly and personally as she describes how to look and feel your best. This book doesn't feature fads, but instead offers good, solid advice. Was it Diane Vreeland that said that style is timeless? That applies to Barbara and this book.I've taken Barbara's great class at Education Week, and wanted something permanent to remind me of the many great tips that she shares. This book includes Barbara's advice, as well as her personal story for insights... and she shows photos of herself going from no makeup to dazzlingly made-up, step by step. Wow!There's a very good reason why she's successfully coached so many girls and women in beauty pageants: She knows what looks attractive, and how to get there.If you want to look like a high-fashion waif from the cover of Vogue, this book isn't for you. If you simply want to look good in a classic and no-nonsense way, this is a great way to start.

Fulfilling one's soul physically, mentally, and spiritually.

The Confident You by Barbara Barrington Jones is one of the most enlightening books. It has many inspirational lessons about the importance of taking care of one's body. How our bodies feel and look affects our feelings towards ourselves. In turn, how we feel about ourselves tells others how to feel about us. Her book is a sort of a personal bible. Uplifting to the soul; placing life in a grander perspective.
