ABOUT CROWNING GLORY:

In this beautifully written, heartfelt, witty, and life-affirming memoir, Stacy Harshman tracks her amazing experiment. By wearing dramatic, identically styled but differently colored wigs for weeks in New York City, Stacy Harshman learns more about who she is and what she can find in herself as a redhead, a raven-haired goth, a brunette, and a blonde. 

After hiring a spy to document how people responded to her, Stacy realizes how her hair is woven into every aspect of her life: her self-image, her depression, and her relationships. Changing her hair changed how she approached all of them. 

By turns rapturous, rueful, and riotous, this wise and funny book charts the story of one woman’s way to shake it up, change it all, and discover something new about herself.

Why Women Should Find Time to Nurture Themselves - This Guide by Joanna Romer Includes Helpful Techniques


For most women, the role of caretaker is an important and ongoing one. We often put our needs below those of everyone else in our lives. While we’re busy tending to everyone else’s needs, it’s easy to forget that we too need nurturing. Yet the process is essential to our well-being. “A Woman’s Guide to Self-Nurturing” discusses why and how to take the time to care for ourselves.


With Biblical references and an engaging, conversational “workshop-style”, Ms. Romer details practical advice for building self-esteem through a variety of self-comforting activities. From defining what self-nurturing is to the importance of taking time to simply relax, readers will find value in this book’s pages. Each section ends with a “guidelines” list to further assist readers in their pursuit of living a happier, more fulfilling life.

“A Woman’s Guide to Self-Nurturing” is a concise and compact paperback book, which can easily be carried in a purse or backpack, accessible whenever you’re in need of a little encouragement. Each chapter is self-contained so it’s simple to choose just the right subject at just the right time. Highly recommended!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author via LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review.
