Book Review: Girl, Wash Your Face.

-


Hollis asks female readers to find their inner truths in this witty guide to healthy living. Hollis, founder of the lifestyle website TheChicSite.com and married mother of four, is a self-proclaimed recovering workaholic who suffered from erroneous beliefs instilled in childhood. 


“When I succeeded, I got praise and attention I felt liked and accepted. But the moment the audience stopped clapping, it all went back to the way it was before. What this taught me is the belief that in order to be loved, I felt I needed to produce something.”   

Hollis implores readers to stop worrying about external pressures to always do more and, instead, to find fulfilment by getting in touch with their own desires and feelings. Readers will find hope and humour in Hollis’s stories as she challenges them to take control of their physical, mental, and spiritual health through regulating habits, resisting unhelpful comparisons, and embracing changes such as marriage and motherhood. 

Opening up about her now-husband and their rough first year of dating, Hollis reveals she was trying too hard to make something work that didn’t fit, and admonishes other women not to do the same by making any single person their purpose for living. 

Throughout, she pairs biblical lessons with personal anecdotes to make her points. Hollis’s dynamic book is filled with inspiration for women who feel stuck on the path to realizing their dreams.

THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK NEWS This article was posted on The New York Times . It posted here by Farah Hanim for educational purposes only. By Katie Rogers and Annie Karni As his administration grapples with reopening the economy and responding to the coronavirus crisis, President Trump worries about his re-election and how the news media is portraying him. President Trump arrives in the Oval Office these days as late as noon when he is usually in a sour mood after his morning marathon of television. He has been up in the White House master bedroom as early as 5 a.m. watching Fox News, then CNN, with a dollop of MSNBC thrown in for rage viewing.

By: Nur 'Inayah It’s a confusing time for all of us, but more so for children and pets who may not be able to fathom why life is on pause. One dejected dog who’s stuck indoors is especially upset by the lockdown. Three-year-old dog Big Poppa was snapped looking crestfallen as he watched two children play outside from his balcony.

She tweeted: ‘Big Poppa has been so sad today, I think he miss playing with the kids in the building.

Maisie Williams wrote: ‘Not being dramatic but I would literally die for Big Poppa,’ meanwhile Ellen used the opportunity to remind people the importance of social distancing. ‘Stay insid...
