years. It's been a total whirlwind of a journey, and I'm so

of my cleaning routine, I'm going to take you back to the start of

heart-breaking devastating lows. So let's do this! Put your Hinch

French women seem inherently more confident in their bodies, able
to embrace the sensuality of life and love. What's their secret?
Lingerie. Yet, despite an insatiable curiosity for all things
French, most women still find lingerie an enigma, a tangled melange
of silk and lace, and are confused about how, when, and where to
wear it. (Hint: it's not just for special occasions.) Many aspire
to having a drawer full of silky, lacy undergarments, but have no
idea where to start: How should my bra fit? How exactly do I wear a
garter belt? Do bras and knickers always have to match? With
illustrations by French lingerie designer Paloma Casile, Paris
Undressed: The Secrets of French Lingerie will help women feel at
ease with their figures and show them how to integrate a lingerie
lifestyle a la francaise to enhance their own femininity,
confidence, and joie de vivre. It will transform the way women
perceive their undergarments - and their bodies - and reveal how to
co-ordinate a lingerie wardrobe to reflect personality and to meet
lifestyle needs with the right dose of reverie. The book also
includes a hand-selected guide to the most confidential addresses
and lingerie boutiques in Paris, and discloses where to find the
perfect bra, couture camisole or cheeky knicker. Paris Undressed
goes behind the seams, combining cultural references, expertise,
and practical advice to inspire every woman to reconsider her
underwear drawer.

For many women, the bathroom is the most intimate of spaces. It is
the place where we encounter ourselves in the mirror each morning
and every night, getting ready to face the day, or recede from it.
THE BATHROOM CHRONICLES is a beautiful, chic, touching, and deeply
feminine collection of photos and accompanying short stories
(sometimes no more than a sentence or two) by women about their
private spaces and most cherished possessions. Lena Dunham reveals
the corner by the sink where she keeps her favorite pieces of
jewelry, as well as her birth control. Erica Jong snaps her poodles
and insists that they love her powder room and to "fluff up their
hair" in front of the mirrors. Roz Chast reflects on a shelf in the
corner that she purchased from a second-hand store. It's decorated
with birds, because she loves birds, and a tiny emu that was given
to her by a friend when she was in Australia. Like the bathrooms
themselves each of these stories and images is unique--open,
private, minimalistic, messy, and beautiful.
A scarf can be styled as the exclamation point to a simple outfit,
a chic finishing piece for a professional look, or a flowing
embellishment to accent a simple T-shirt. This guide provides 33
ways to wear this versatile accessory.

Roksanda Ilincic Women have made great advances in the workplace,
but despite that - and the overwhelming amount of career advice out
there - the same questions continue to arise: how to succeed in a
man's world, how to combine a career with a family, how to be
authentic and fit in, and whether it is even possible to achieve a
work-life balance while chasing career goals. Unfortunately, much
of the advice women are offered is badly out of date and lacking in
'cut-to-the-chase' strategies that really tally with their
experience of the workplace now. What's more, the advice often
tends to be defensive, focused on overcoming obstacles rather than
drawing upon strengths. Style and Substance starts from a very
different perspective. Written by Helena Morrissey, who has learned
through her own experiences as a woman in the workplace and as a
business leader, it will help you understand what really matters
when it comes to career progression today, whatever your age,
situation and aspirations. Style and Substance will show you how to
build your own style - your personal brand - and how to have
confidence in it, and in yourself. Once you realise how much agency
you have and the steps that you can take to look the part, sound
the part, feel the part and therefore be the part, you'll be
empowered to achieve your goals in your own way, secure in who you
are and what you have to offer.

Find your sisu: the Finnish concept of resilience, grit, and
determination Finnish-born writer Katja Pantzar was raised and
educated in Canada, where the consumerist and materially obsessed
culture left her feeling empty and unhappy. When she received
treatment for depression in her mid-20s, the doctor treating her
simply prescribed medication and sleeping pills, with no thought
given to her lifestyle. After moving to Finland, Katja discovered
sisu: the Finnish approach to well-being defined by a special kind
of resilience, grit and courage. She embraced this way of living
and experienced a dramatic turnaround in her health and happiness.
Simple, functional exercise (as simple as riding her bike to work),
the Nordic diet, spending time in nature and taking up cold-water
swimming together with a more courageous outlook all served to
transform Pantzar's life: her anxieties, fatigue and pain left
behind in the sea. In Finding Sisu, Pantzar offers an honest (no
place is perfect - Finland is not an exception) and uplifting
account of her physical and psychological health transformation
from a slightly lethargic depressive into an energetic optimist.
She examines the link between sisu and the Nordic reputation for
excellent wellbeing and overall life satisfaction, and looks at the
ways in which we, too, can apply sisu to our lives - wherever we
may be. Finding Sisu is a personal but also practical approach to
the power of this 500-year-old philosophy and how it can help us
all to lead healthier, happier - and braver lives.
