I did not like this book at all, some of the information is good, but most of it seems to be in a condensing tone, like you should be following her diet recommendations, her fitness recommendations, focus on getting a good night sleep as it will help you. Amanda Thebe wrote a better book about this subject.I did not like this book at all, some of the information is good, but most of it seems to be in a condensing tone, like you should be following her diet recommendations, her fitness recommendations, focus on getting a good night sleep as it will…

It took her a while, to want to tell the truth to the committee, as the first time she testified, she lied under oath.

Truth be told, I was not even sure if I would like this movie, but after watching it I actually found myself liking it. Showing the human side of Elvis, besides him as a singer.

I was not sure I would love this sequel to Firefly Lane (recommend reading it first if you haven't before reading this one) But I did, and it touched my heart, showing how grief can impact a family and a best friend.

I absolutely skipped a lot of sections in this book. The author who is a psychiatrist recommends using food, cognitive based therapy (CBT), as well as natural medicine to help with what she calls false anxiety. Does not recommend taking medication for anxiety or depression, but tapering off them, and using other methods.I absolutely skipped a lot of sections in this book.

Why did Lady Gaga not get nominated for an Oscar for her role, she played Patrizia very well, good casting, film dragged at some spots, but a very good movie, based on power, ruthlessness and money.
