Customer Review: A Book that does tell it like it is!
I highly recommend this book to anyone considering weight loss surgery. The authors are real patients who tell of their personal experience after weight loss surgery. They aren’t afraid to admit that they didn’t ALWAYS follow the rules. Being a weight loss surgery patient myself, a bariatric RN and a bariatric support group leader, I know from personal experience there are very few people who never test the limits of the rules they are given. They just aren’t all willing to put their mistakes in print. I appreciated that they were open and honest about what they did wrong because it certainly helped me to learn from their mistakes.

In regards to the complications the authors experienced after surgery, I can tell you that they do happen. Yes, the authors made up their own “names” for what they experienced but that didn’t make their experience any less real. When I experienced “scramps” after my surgery I knew what was happening because I had read the book before surgery.

My advice to anyone looking at weight loss surgery is to get as much knowledge about it ahead of time. Know what can or might happen. Knowledge is VERY powerful and is one of the greatest tools you can give yourself on the difficult journey of weight loss surgery. I don’t care if not everyone experiences the complications decribed in this book, the fact of the matter is that they might happen. The authors believe in letting people know everything that COULD happen and as a patient, nurse and support group leader I appreciate that viewpoint.

I firmly believe that the more knowledge you have before surgery the easier it will be to travel this journey of weight loss surgery. And this book gave me knowledge.

Customer Review: Perricone Prescription
I love this book and what Dr. Perricone has to say about getting healthier. His ideas are easy to understand and make sense. I found the book where I work and read it and decided it would make a great gift. If you’re looking to get healthier, I would recommend his book and his products.

“Matheson slyly steers us toward consumer goods and services that minimize our earth-stomping human footprint. She’s brave enough to say ‘buy less of everything,’ and even the politically fraught ‘buy nothing.’ Matheson’s genius is to make this seem not only doable, but fun.”
- Elizabeth Royte, author of Garbage Land and Bottlemania

Want to go green without giving up great style? Welcome to the world of Green Chic. Choosing to be green makes a real difference in the fight against global warming. But did you know that it’s also hip, classic and stylish?

Offering up dozens of author-tested, earth-friendly ideas, writer Christie Matheson reveals that being chic and saving the planet aren’t mutually exclusive.

Embrace the fabulousness of green living and you can:

- Look gorgeous
- Have a killer wardrobe
- Feel amazing
- Travel in style
- Create a home that’s an oasis
- Host fun parties
- Eat incredible food and drink phenomenal wine
… All while feeling more connected to your friends, family and nature.

(And did we mention that green women don’t get fat?)

Printed on recycled paper, with a portion of its proceeds going to a green cause, Green Chic is the perfect book for style-savvy readers with a green heart. Can living a chic green lifestyle TRULY make a difference to the planet? You bet your organic cotton sheets it can.

Buying into the Green Chic movement doesn’t mean you need to buy more stuff.
Avoid products that purport to be green just for the marketing effect: “organic” processed foods; huge, gas-guzzling hybrid SUVs; clothes boasting that they’re green just because they’re made from “natural” cotton. Claiming to be green is trendy and companies out there are taking advantage. Don’t believe all the hype.

10 GREEN CHIC-AND EASY-WAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
- Ditch bottled water: refill a sassy thermos.
- Pop little purchases in your purse, not a shopping bag.
- Sip biodynamic wine.
- Choose cashmere, not acrylic.
- Let your hair air dry for a while before you blow dry: less frizz, less energy consumed.
- Unplug (and put away) unsightly cell phone chargers.
- Opt for quality over quantity in everything you buy.
- Cut down on clutter.
- Limit your consumption of anything packaged in plastic.
- Support local designers.

BUT REMEMBER:

Don’t go out and replace everything you own, from your makeup to your wardrobe to your furniture, with (theoretically) ecofriendly products. Being ecofriendly means consuming less, not more. Get in the habit of thinking before you buy. The best time to purchase ecofriendly goods is when you need them. That’s when you’re in a position to make a choice and express yourself as a green consumer.

Being Green isn’t a fad … it’s timelessly chic.
Customer Review: News Flash: Chic, Green Living is More Than Fashion and Make-up
Despite all of the progress the environmental movement has made, being both chic and sustainable is still often seen as a frivolous combination. Apparently, growing your own food and wearing stylish, eco-friendly fashions are two separate worlds that we shouldn’t combine.

Not anymore!

Impressively experienced writer Christie Matheson just released her 5th book titled Green Chic: Saving The Earth In Style with Illinois-based Sourcebooks publishing company. Even with the ridiculous influx of eco-living books available in stores, it is safe to say that there is nothing like Green Chic on the shelves. Christie explains it best: “It’s not about buying your way to being green - or just appearing green - it’s about shifting your mindset, changing your attitude, and developing a personal style that is green.”

This is quite a statement to make in a country of citizens who hate to change their personal habits. But if anyone can get through to the superficial yet sustainably curious masses, it’s Christie and Green Chic. Always the thorough writer, Christie personally tried all of her own tips and openly explains the ins and outs of living sustainably and stylish at the same time. Not only is fashion and beauty covered their own chapters, but she also covers: dining, drinking, home, transportation, travel, parties, big and small changes.

It wouldn’t be much of a green book if it wasn’t printed on recycled paper, no? Green Chic’s publisher, Sourcebooks, used 100% post-consumer recycled paper certified by the Forest Stewartship Council and vegetable-based inks to print the book. If that wasn’t enough, the author herself is donating 50% of her royalties from the book to organizations like the Alliance for Climate Protection, Roots & Shoots, and the Central Park Conservancy among others.

Talking about green living without being preachy is a fine line that all of us journalists dance. Christie seems to have found the perfect balance, helping Green Chic to come off as more of a leisurely, informative chat with one of your girlfriends instead of a manual to transform your life. Her accessible writing style is what makes Green Chic one of my all-time favorite green living books - one that I believe will continue to draw in readers for at least the next 5 years.

Customer Review: Good book for beginners.
Great book if you, like me, are parenting transracially and have no clue what to do about your child’s hair! If you already are comfortable with washing, combing and styling your AA child’s hair you may not get as much out of this book. There are many pictures of styles but usually only one of each style. That said, I highly recommend this book for hair novices.
Customer Review: Great Help for Transracial Adoptive Moms
As a white Mom with an A-A daughter, I have a lot to learn about caring for her dry, kinky hair. I thought this book had some great tips about general hair care as well as styling. There are line-drawing illustrations to accompany photographs of the completed hairstyle. Most of all, I liked the supportive attitude of the author and the short essays from other Primary Care Givers (Black, White, and Biracial) about styling their daughter’s hair. My daughter is 2, so many of the styles are not appropriate for her yet, but I have been able to incorporate aspects of the more complicated styles into her more simple daily ‘do.

Do you have a muffin recipe that you love? This book is like having a favorite muffin recipe with many variations. I guess if it is your favorite don’t argue with it. But, this book is full of variations of a basic recipe.
It is a nice book, but I had hoped for more variety.

Customer Review: total GIMMICK AND A RIP OFF.
this gadget does absolutely nothing. after using it for several months, i see zero results. its a total waste of money. not only that, it was a huge waste of time as well because it took so long for every session and in the end i got NO change in my skin tone or any kind of improvement. if anything, i think i started to brake out more from bothering my skin with this thing.

things that work to improve wrinkles is retin A. takes a long time, but after six months of use you will see a marked improvement. thats what i am sticking to. good luck.

I have been using dermalogica products now for about a year and I will say that the soothing eye makeup remover is the best Ive ever used. It may be a bit pricey, but its worth it. I tried a different brand and it stung my eyes and left my eyes and area around my eyes greasy. Yuk! Dermalogica’s brand doesn’t sting, burn or irritate your eyes at all and it doesn’t dry your skin either. To me its the perfect eye makeup remover. I would recommend it to everybody.
