Review: Girl Wash Your Face
Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis
Goodreads Summary:
With wry wit and hard-earned wisdom, popular online personality and founder of TheChicSite.com founder Rachel Hollis helps readers break free from the lies keeping them from the joy-filled and exuberant life they are meant to have.
Founder of the lifestyle website TheChicSite.com and CEO of her own media company, Chic Media, Rachel Hollis has created an online fan base of hundreds of thousands of fans by sharing tips for living a better life while fearlessly revealing the messiness of her own. Now comes her highly anticipated first book featuring her signature combination of honesty, humor, and direct, no-nonsense advice.
Each chapter of Girl, Wash Your Face begins with a specific lie Hollis once believed that left her feeling overwhelmed, unworthy, or ready to give up. As a working mother, a former foster parent, and a woman who has dealt with insecurities about her body and relationships, she speaks with the insight and kindness of a BFF, helping women unpack the limiting mind-sets that destroy their self-confidence and keep them from moving forward.
From her temporary obsession with marrying Matt Damon to a daydream involving hypnotic iguanas to her son's request that she buy a necklace to "be like the other moms," Hollis holds nothing back. With unflinching faith and tenacity, Hollis spurs other women to live with passion and hustle and to awaken their slumbering goals.
My Review:
Okay, I am not going to give my rating until the end because I feel the need to really justify it this time. I went into this book thinking it was more of a devotional, it is not. Sure she talks about her faith and how it changed her life, but it really is just an inspirational book to get sh*t done. So I went in with wrong expectations of what I was getting out of this book.
I also want to say that Rachel is funny, but sometimes it was too much. Too many ongoing jokes that ran for a page at time before getting to the ultimate point. Yes, I laughed but I also caught myself trying to skip paragraphs to get to the main portion of the chapter. Because time is money am I right? Especially in a book that is attempting to motivate me to do more and be better.
Let me end this by saying, I do feel motivated. I do want to edit my list of goals and work harder to achieve them. I also do think the book could have been half in length and another motivational book could that too.
1.75/5 Stars
