Still Bobbi / by Brown, Bobbi,author.;
"Bobbi Brown is a trailblazer in the beauty industry. A New York Times bestselling author of nine makeup tutorial books to date, she is the founder of both her namesake beauty brand, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, and her four-year-old clean beauty brand, Jones Road. Recognized as one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women in 2021, included in Forbes's "50 Over 50" list of Most Influential Women in 2022, and honored with the Glamour Woman of the Year Award, Bobbi's career has been nothing short of groundbreaking. In Still Bobbi, she shares her personal journey, including the integral relationships that inspired and emboldened her from a young age to pursue her creative vision despite numerous challenges -- offering a heartfelt and inspiring memoir guaranteed to captivate readers of all ages. In 1980, Bobbi Brown had a wild idea: real faces are beautiful. When makeup trends were about covering, contouring, and transforming, Bobbi blazed her own path, using makeup that accentuated a woman's natural beauty. In the process, she revolutionized the makeup industry. Bobbi's philosophy is part of who she is, and it's reflected in the way she lives her life. Real is better than fake. Simple is better than complicated. Family comes first. When real life throws you obstacles, maneuver and just figure it out. This hard-earned, deceptively simple wisdom is at the core of her new book, Still Bobbi. Bobbi has authored many makeup books but has never written about her life ... until now. Bobbi shares her story -- a seemingly typical suburban girl who thrived socially but struggled academically and had a wonderfully complicated and glamorous mother. Bobbi navigated her childhood and discovered and refined her own view of beauty. She talked her way into New York's beauty and fashion scene in the 1980s, found the love of her life, built her namesake brand into a billion-dollar worldwide business, sold control of her namesake brand, only to build another juggernaut beauty brand -- all while raising a family and remaining true to herself. In sharing a lifetime of intimate stories, hard-won practical wisdom, tips, and business savvy, Bobbi's transformational memoir urges readers to embrace their own potential and pursue their dreams with confidence and clarity of purpose"--

When heaven calls : life lessons from America's top psychic medium / by Fraser, Matt,author.;
"America's top psychic medium reflects on his life of speaking to Spirit and the lessons he's learned along the way-from both the living and the dead. People who are not in the habit of talking with the dead have a hard time imagining what Matt Fraser's life is like. Based on the questions he gets, they seem to think he spends most of his time sitting cross-legged in a trance, maybe hovering a few inches off the ground, leaving his physical body behind as he journeys across the veil to the spirit realm. But it's not like that at all. The real Matt Fraser is just an ordinary twenty-eight-year-old guy ... who happens to talk to dead people. Born into a psychic family, Matt carries on the legacy passed down from his late Grandmother Mary by connecting people to their dearly departed loved ones and delivering messages from the other side. His sold-out live group readings, television appearances, and popular private readings have allowed him to bring hope and healing to fans from around the world. Now, in When Heaven Calls, Matt opens up about his life as a psychic medium-including how he discovered his spiritual gift, what it's like to connect with souls on the other side, what communicating with the dead has taught him about embracing life, and how you can tap into your own intuitive awareness to manifest your dreams, goals, and desires"--
