The Secret of Chanel No. 5
Summary
Every minute, someone buys an Art Deco-inspired, amber-hued bottle of Chanel No. 5 - to the tune of more than half a million bottles a year. Considering that nearly 90 years have passed since No. 5’s creation, this statistic alone makes a compelling case for the perfume’s stature as the world’s most famous. However, its cultural impact might be even more staggering than its business success: Andy Warhol’s silk-screened version of bottle helped to make its image iconic; Mitch Ryder’s “Devil in a Blue Dress” famously wore it; and, when Marilyn Monroe was asked what she wore to bed, she replied, with more than a hint of flirtation: “Why, Chanel No. 5 of course.” Adding to the perfume’s prestige, some of the most glamorous actresses of our age, including Catherine Deneuve, Nicole Kidman, and Audrey Tautou, have been its official face. We all know the story of Coco Chanel, but how much do we actually know about her signature perfume - a fragrance that has enjoyed remarkable success for nearly a century? The Secret of Chanel No. 5 is the story of Tilar J. Mazzeo’s far-ranging and often quixotic search to discover the answer - and of the fascinating detours into the history of perfume that come from asking the question: What is the secret behind No. 5’s creation, iconic status, and extraordinary success?

Summary
Learn to love yourself and body with this interactive guide from the body acceptance advocate, influencer, and founder of Megababe beauty. Can you imagine how much free time you’d have if you didn’t spend so much of it body shaming yourself? Katie Sturino knows all too well what it’s like to shit-talk yourself. She spent 30 years of her life feeling ashamed of her body and its self-determined wrongness. Now she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her; she only cares that she’s happy and comfortable with herself. Body positivity and size inclusivity is still a relatively new phenomenon, but Sturino has dedicated her life to unlearning all that beauty standard BS and uses her blog, Instagram, podcast, and non-toxic, solution-oriented beauty products to share the message that changed her life: Your body is not the problem. With Body Talk, an illustrated guide-meets-workbook, Sturino is here to help you stop obsessing about your body issues, focus on self-love, and free up space in your brain for creative and productive energy. Complete with empowering affirmations, relatable anecdotes, and actionable takeaways, as well as space to answer prompts and jot down feelings and inspirations, Body Talk encourages you to spend less time thinking about how you look and what you eat and more time discovering your inner fierceness.

Hypnotic Gastric Band
Summary
The gastric band operation is a surgical procedure that helps the patient lose weight by reducing the stomach size, thereby limiting the amount of food needed to tell the brain that the body is full. This procedure is very sound, but it has several downsides, including a high price tag and a host of potential health complications. Fortunately, there is an alternative known as gastric band hypnosis, which achieves similar results without surgery. This form of hypnosis uses suggestion and misdirection to trick the patient into believing that they have undergone a gastric band operation, which will then cause the patient's unconscious mind to react to hunger in the same way that a person after surgery would. Have you tried them all, but cannot lose weight? Probably, the fault lies in your deepest beliefs and habits dictated by the unconscious mind. Thanks to the virtual gastric band, you will remove these obstacles, and you will be able to reach your goals shortly, without any surgery! How? Simple! You can find everything you need to know about this incredible technique inside this Manual, where all the information is well explained and easy to follow. In this book, you will: Clearly understand what hypnotic gastric banding is and how it works to show you the benefits for weight loss are the same as surgery, but without the contraindications and risks associated with the operation. Realize why hypnosis works for weight loss and why no other weight loss method addresses the core issues at the root as it does. Learn healthy habits to stay healthy to live a productive and satisfying life. Healthy habits reduce the risk of certain diseases, improve your physical appearance and mental health, and give your energy level a much-needed boost. Discover sleep meditation and how it can be the solution to your sleep disorder to create the inner conditions needed for a truly restful night. You will try on yourself how meditation can become a stunning aid to promote restful sleep naturally and without drugs. Find out how emotional eating can sabotage your weight-loss efforts, and get tips to get control of your eating habits.

Gok grew up on a Leicester housing estate, with a loving family who ran a Chinese restaurant. For his parents, food meant love – and Gok was so well loved that by the time he was a teenager he weighed 21 stone. Being Asian and gay as well, Gok felt lonely and out of place.

The Power of Personal Style
Summary
Many people associate fashion with style and although it took me many years, I realized that they are two different things and serve different purposes. If you know anything about my company, Lady Stylistique, then you know that I see fashion as a money scheme and believe it hinders you from becoming the best version of yourself. I believe it is personal style that not only helps us better connect with ourselves, but it also helps us become the best version of ourselves, which you’ll see by the end of this book. So what is style? Style is anything people can see, touch, hear, smell or speak as it relates to you that reflects who you are. It is symbols and clues that allow people to get to know you and for you to know yourself without you saying a word.
