Pretty Good Advice: For People Who Dream Big and Work Harder | Leslie Blodgett
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
Straight talk and mild rants from one of beautys biggest success stories Called the Queen of Beauty and the most influential lone woman to impact the beauty industry since Este Lauder by the New York Times, Leslie Blodgetts story is anything but ordinary. As the CEO of BareMinerals, she reinvented how beauty was sold by tapping into the power of community before the idea of social media existed. In 2006, Blodgett took the company public in one of the largest cosmetic IPOs of the decade, and in 2010, the company was acquired for $1.8 billion. Pretty Good Advice is her next chapter. This refreshing book features 97 candid and entertaining insights on business, life, and beauty. Personal and often surprising, Blodgett dishes on leading with humor, why wearing blush and reading obituaries are two of the most optimistic things you can do, and why you owe it to your co-workers not to be boring. Pretty Good Advice is full of frank, actionable advice to help light a fire under you.

Read by the author, this was a light little read and Blodgett seems like a rather light-hearted person, much more interested in building personal relationships and helping others to feel good about themselves and their style than about telling you to stop wearing this or that and to only eat kale and drink water.

This isn‘t going to change your life, but if you do listen or read this, perhaps you‘ll take away a few nuggets of advice, apply them to your life, and make the world a little bit better. 2y
