Women Get Real author Jessica Landmon recently wrote "All Mascara is Not Created Equal," a book of truisms that are at times witty, and others profound. The book is fun to read over a cup of coffee, or to start the day with a lighthearted or insightful quote, a positive message to get things off on the right foot. The author herself can describe it even better than I can:
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media are sending mixed messages about the way we, as
women, are to live our lives. Catch phrases like “YOLO” and “swag” are distorting the ideals that we
should strive for. Women have more to contribute to society than being sexy, and we certainly shouldn’t
attach our worth to how many likes we get on a selfie.
As a mother to a tween daughter and a teenage son, I have learned a few things about life along the way. This book is full of valuable tips or bits of wisdom that I have learned, or heard from my parents, while growing up.
Some of them are quite spiritual and have helped me through some difficult times. Some of them are practical and certainly would have helped me to avoid some major overreactions to the silliest of things. Some are just plain amusing. They stem from those eureka moments where I was like “That is so true!” Like, who knew that the thread count of sheets really does make a difference?
This is not just another book where a mother and her daughter walk hand-in-hand in the garden as the mom passes along life lessons. This book is more of a woman-to-woman guidebook for life.
Now about mascara...how many of you look at celebrities and are like, there is no way their lashes can be that full! You’ve tried to layer coat after coat with your mascara and wonder why your lashes still look like, well, your lashes. You think, am I applying this wrong? Maybe I need a special brush? No.
All mascara is NOT created equal! This was news to me. I don’t care how much your current mascara costs, it still might not be good. There ARE mascaras that are superior to others. You just need to find the right one.
So, as you read through the pages of this book, grab a cup of tea, and let these tips sink in. Don’t get distracted by what society is trying to tell you to become; walk in the plan God has for you. You are God’s beautiful creation, and He has a wonderful plan for your life.
