Book Review Tuesdays: Positively Beautiful by Carmindy and another Giveaway!

Get Positively Beautiful: The Ultimate Guide to Looking and Feeling Gorgeous might be one of my favorite beauty books. Not because it's full of great tips, which is really is, but because it's written in such a female-positive manner. Instead of focusing on correcting flaws, Carmindy encourages you to focus on the great features you already have. This means instead of worrying about your uneven skin tone, you use some super-cool techniques to play up your amazing eyes. Worried about your uneven eyes? Focus on your dewy, youthful skin, and so on.

While at times it can be a touch cheesy, overall, it's a refreshing change from standard beauty books which do tend to focus on the imperfect. Carmindy's "mirror mantras" are somewhat exasperating, but it's easy to overlook when she truly wants women to embrace their own beauty instead of comparing it to the "standard," whatever that may be at the moment.

I'm so excited to share that I have five copies of this book to give away! Simply leave me a comment and you will be automatically entered to win. I'm certain that you will enjoy the tips (and positive self-talk) in this book as much as I do. You have until Saturday, 10/18 to enter, so spread the word! Good luck!
