The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer
This product was recommended by Lola Akingbade from Deyewa
It’s a great book that talks about living a calmer lifestyle and living a lifestyle like Jesus. In the modern world we are constantly in a state of hurry where we are multitasking and constantly doing a lot of things at the same time. We struggle to find quiet, and find it weird to stay quiet when there is nothing to do. The book challenges us to slow down and really enjoy life, enjoy the moments, stay emotionally connected with others and do life like Jesus would even in the midst of chaos of the world. As a mom of 3, I find myself constantly doing something and hardly having any downtime. Sometimes that hurry to check things off my to-do list flows to my children where I am not responding to them out of love but out of a stressed out heart. It is teaching me that in order to really make true connections and enjoy every little moment, we need to eliminate the hurry and choose to slow down.

Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls By Jes M. Baker
This product was recommended by Camila Reed from Live Life Big
Acceptance and positivity go hand in hand, at least for me. This book taught me accept myself for who I am and helped me build the foundation for a more fulfilling and much more positive life. Baker keeps you laughing throughout the book but still explores the serious side of things and covers issues like feminism, body positivity, beauty, and how they’re all connected. The ideas in this book helped me come to terms with beauty, society, and my weight. All of these are issues that can keep a woman feeling pessimistic, negative, and stressed. But _Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls_ helped me navigate that mental space and when I put on my makeup in the morning or splurge on a cute outfit, I know that I really am doing it for me- and not out of fear of what others might think of me.
