We love to curl up with a good read. Nothing says welcome holiday season like your favorite cup of tea or green juice, cozy blankets and inspirational books. We’ve gathered our fall favorites here. Check out what we are reading this holiday season.
Crazy Sexy Juice, Kris Carr
Perhaps you’re feeling a little tired. Bloated. Out of sorts. Whatever it is, you’ve come to the right place. Get ready to say good-bye to feeling meh and hello to feeling fabulous!
In Crazy Sexy Juice, wellness advocate and New York Times best-selling author Kris Carr teaches you everything you need to know about creating fresh, nutritious juices and smoothies, and creamy, indulgent nut and seed milks. With enough recipes to keep your juicer and blender humming through every season, she shows you how to fit them into your life, helping you make health deposits—instead of withdrawals! Cha-ching!
Take a life-changing journey with a fashion insider through the neighborhoods of Paris—and become the most glamorous girl in town (without even trying). After spending much of her life mining the secrets of La Parisienne, Angie has discovered there are as many ways to be Parisian as there are arrondissements. Find out what Saint Germain women wear, where Canal Saint Martin girls shop and hang out with their friends, the décor tricks of the artistic ladies in Montmartre, and how to cook and entertain—as if you just rolled out of bed and onto the cobblestone streets of Le Marais…
Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear, Elizabeth Gilbert
What leads to the willingness to take chances, live life to the fullest, and act on risky ideas? In this new book, the beloved author of Eat, Pray, Love and The Signature of All Things discusses the attitudes, approaches, and habits we need to cultivate in order to live our most creative lives. Balancing soulful spirituality and cheerful pragmatism, Gilbert encourages us to uncover the “strange jewels” that are hidden within each of us. Whether you are looking to write a book, make art, find new ways to address challenges in your work, embark on a dream long deferred, or simply infuse your day with more mindfulness and passion, Big Magic cracks open a world of wonder and joy.
