People use the word 'authentic' so much these days. I think it has become overused, but it could have been invented for Leslie Blodgett. This book is a wonderful journey through Leslie's story and everything she has learned about herself, the world and business along the way. So much more fun than an autobiography, this book is filled with nuggets of fun, wisdom, thoughtfulness and insight.Leslie is an open book (excuse the pun) and is willing to share little pieces of herself - the good, the bad and the ugly (beautiful!).I read it in two days, and then bought a second copy for my mum. Definitely a book for sharing.

I have so much to say about this book, please bear with me. This book is beautiful with a hardcover, no book sleeve, and a fun array of colored pages inside. It looks beautiful and feels great to hold in your hands.The format of the book is great because it has short stories with an application. I appreciated the easy, uncomplicated setup, and found myself flying through it.Last but definitely not least is the content! Whether you know Leslie from the Bare Escentuals/QVC days or not, this book is worth your time. There are so many great business lessons included in this book from someone who revolutionized the beauty industry and used online community before it was “the thing” to do. On the other hand, there are great personal insights, too. Despite the short length of each chapter, there is a lot of depth to what Leslie provides.All in all, I highly recommend this book. Just like it’s author, it is smart, genuine, funny, and fun.

The book is dedicated to all Bare Minerals employees and customers past, present, and future. All of us who built life-long relationships that started due to Leslie's vision of changing the beauty industry will love reading this and learning about the fruition of ideas that changed us all. Every moment, every memory, every idea, and every time she was bold enough to shake things up in order to build her foundation in the beauty industry make this a delight to read. As she encourages us all to be bold, be steadfast, be brave even when we don't truly feel it and especially when we're really just winging it, she shows us all how quality relationships and quality products are woven into the same fabric. All in all, I am grateful for the entire experience and grateful to be able to read this book. It is easy and fun to read and you will not want to put it down because it is so joyful to read, especially in uncertain times. Swirl, tap, buff forever Angels.

Pretty Good Advice by Lesley Blodgett Pretty Good Advice is a funny, easy-to-read, provocative set of 100 or so vignettes and pieces of personal philosophy and advice that reflects a thoughtful, successful, inspiring, and empathetic person that has spread love in a lot of ways. She offers career and relationship advice all with personal stories. Her ongoing belief that she was a lucky person is reflected in an early ability to find pennies and her out-of-control penny collection. Her customer focus can be linked to her early days of selling cosmetics in stores that lacked an authentic empathy for customers. Her career success is based in part on her ability to develop and appreciate a shared-interest community and let that flow carry her. She tells of how a 9-old became an influential mentor. Her story about how a set of ten “bridge club” friends met regularly and became an amazing source of support and inspiration showed her the power of deep relationships that have persistence and depth.David Aaker
