Episode 39 The Cup of Glo’s Hot 10 Reading Recommendations to Enter 2021

The Vaccine is coming!  You’re getting ready for fun times again! Imagine, lounging in your cabana on the beach, with a book, from The Cup of Glo’s Hot 10 Reading Recommendations to enter 2021.  A couple of the authors have been our guests on this podcast, directly sharing knowledge with us.  Others are still on the list for invitations.  In either case, their written words are what’s happening now.

Title number 1 is:  Encore! A Boomer’s Guide to Rocking Your Retirement by: Marilyn Myrick Watson who was our guest on Episode 22.  You may recall Marilyn’s witticisms as she moved us through her stories. One statement on her book cover is: “This ain’t your grandma’s retirement.”  Oh, so true, Marilyn. That is so true.

Title #2 Escapades of a Belly Dancer Volume One – The Empath, by Belle South and Title #3 Escapades of a Belly Dancer Volume – Two – The Book of Dave, Online Dating Gone Bad, also by Belle South

Titles 2 & 3 are brought to us by Janis David who was our first guest, on the first episode of The Cup of Glo Podcast.  Janis is an extraordinary woman with an extraordinary zest for life.  Spoiler alert!  There’s an element of Steamy in each book.

Title #4 Don’t Forget Your Sweater, Girl, Sister to Sister Secrets for Aging with Purpose and Humor and Title #5 Don’t Forget Your Lipstick, Girl, Sister to Sister Secrets for Gaining Confidence, Courage, and Power. Both titles 4 & 5 were written by Dr. Marilou Ryder and Jessica Thompson. You will find terrific insights in each book and get nuggets of encouragement as you move through your aging processes.

Title #6 Happy Healthy…Dead, Why What You Think You Know About Aging is Wrong and How to get it Right by Noelle C. Nelson.  You will get many tips, stories, and resources about living happy and healthy regardless of age including highlights of individuals from age 65 to 117.

The next 2 books are about high-profile personalities who you may have seen in the media several times in 2020 and may continue to see during 2021.  Title #7 Lead from the Outside, How to Build Your Future and Make Real Change by Stacey Abrams and Title #8 Higher is Waiting by Tyler Perry.

The next and final 2 books may be for you, if you are considering starting a new venture or pivoting within your current activities in 2021. Title #9 Start Ugly, A timeless tale about innovation & change by Chris Krimitsos.  The message will help you overcome any fear of trying something new. Quite simply as stated on page 93, you don’t have to be perfect to start.

Title #10 Published: The Proven Path from Blank Page to Published Author by Chandler Bolt.  If you’ve made it this far, you’ve proven that you like reading books.  However, I believe that you many also have a desire to write your own book.  In fact, I know that you have a great book within you.  You are unique and your stories can inform, inspire, and entertain us.  This book is designed to help you write and publish your first book.

Episode 27 Confidence and The Lipstick Effect

Did you know that the number one benefit of wearing cosmetics is the feeling of confidence they provide?

Confidence has been described as an attribute that most people would love to possess.  Whether its confidence in someone else, to do something that would result in a positive outcome or self-confidence, where our own state of mind leads to feelings of well-being and belief in our own abilities.   In episode 21, our guest Olivia Jones, beauty consultant extraordinaire, told us that during times of distress, sales of cosmetics, cigarettes and alcohol increase.  I was intrigued by that statement and embarked on a bit of research.  Lo and behold, Olivia was correct.  There is a phenomenon called The Lipstick Effect.

I can personally attest to more online spending during the novel Corona virus pandemic.  I’ve purchased Cherries Jubilee lipstick from Avon, https://www.avon.com/myavon/lmj4000 Red Stiletto lipstick from Mary Kay, https://www.marykay.com/oajones as well as several packets of Nail Polish strips, from Color Street, www.colorstreet.com/JerriJeanHeywood

While researching the Lipstick Effect on the economy I stumbled upon a book, titled, Don’t Forget Your Lipstick, Girl: Sister to Sister Secrets of Gaining Confidence, Courage and Power by Dr. Marilou Ryder and Jessica Thompson, and bought that too!
