At the BlogHer conference back in July, Arianna Huffington talked about her new book "On Becoming Fearless..in love, work, and life." She told us all, as a BlogHer special, that if we wanted a copy of the book, to send her an email with our details, and she would send us one. So, I sent Arianna an email, and pretty much forgot about it. Lo and behold, yesterday the book arrived on my doorstep. Quite exciting!
I mention this because it's details that contribute to a person's character. This woman is busy, but she made a promise and came through. Brownie points in my book. Honestly, I didn't know much about Arianna before BlogHer except that she had a big duke out with Arnold during a debate, and that she has one of the most popular blogs in the World, Huffington Post.
I'm not big into politics, for reasons we can discuss later, but I did enjoy Arianna's talk at BlogHer. She was witty, open, and inspiring. She talked about her fears about being a mother, and in particular her fears around one of her daughter's battle with an eating disorder, and her fears on how/if she contributed to her daughter's struggle. I was shocked to hear Arianna share this story with us because it something very personal, but I applauded her for being very human. Again, it's more brownie points in my book.
I look forward to reading the book, and so far I love this in the jacket cover:
"Huffington shows us how to be bold from the inside out-from feeling comfortable in our own skin to getting what we want in love and at work to changing the world."
It was time for a wardrobe change, so hope you all like the new outfit. Besides some new duds, I have changed some other things around to freshen up the place. Back in Skinny Jeans has been a wonderful journey for me, and in that time we have evolved and will continue to evolve. So to reflect that growth, here are some of the changes we've made.
New categories
Podcasts and Bookstore
I'm adding podcasts and a bookstore which has books I read and would recommend to all of you. Coming soon, we'll be doing Back in skinny jeans produced podcasts, so for now we'll start sharing podcasts we think you'll enjoy.
So, there it is. Hope you guys will enjoy the new changes. And, THANK YOU again for all your continued support and visits.
XOXO,
Stephanie
