Editorial Reviews

Review

"The book is terrific. It really is." - Kathy Lee Gifford

"You really did a great job!" - Hoda Kotb, --The Today Show

From the Author

I'll never forget Oprah Winfrey's reaction to my makeovers on her show.

"Amazing!  Amazing!" she repeated.

"Fantastic, just fantastic!" she replied again.

You can pretty much say you've been validated when Oprah has praised your work. Though visibly impressed with the makeovers, Oprah asked the question on many women's minds.

She asked, "Christopher, how do you help these women hold on to their new look?"

At the time I really didn't have a good answer, so I said, "You just have to maintain it.  Life is maintenance. It's a daily thing."

Not the brightest comeback, but it got me thinking. How can I help these women do it themselves, and maintain it? 
 
Though it took years to develop this system, and what seems like even longer to get it to the public it was worth every angst ridden minute when I hear how it has improved people's lives. Women all over the world have told me what a difference the book has made in their lives and for that I am completely and forever humbled. Truly. 
Here are a few:

Dear Christopher

I'm 64 yrs. old and this has come at a perfect time for me. I'm trying to lose weight that I have recently gained due to the passing of my fraternal twin sister. Your information is wonderful and I'm learning things about myself that I didn't know before. Your various quizzes and your sections to write things down is a great idea.

The affirmations and the tactful way you give us stern advice is great. It is like you are right in our homes and giving us a one on one consultation.

Thanks so much for this wonderful gift of your talents. Most of all, thanks for letting us mature women know we are never to old to take care of ourselves.

I liked your comment "Voices of the past must be put out with the trash.  You can change your belief system and indeed your must to move forward." Great advice that I intend to take to heart.

Sarah

Dear Christopher,

I'm 44 and I look too frumpy for the way I genuinely feel inside.  I'm tired of covering up the real me with all this frumpiness!! Your book speaks right to the heart and soul of a woman - do you know that?  Your words jump off the pages and have pulled me out of this mess that I am not, but of which I have become.  THANK YOU!!!!

Rebecca Rossman
Orange Park/Jacksonville, FL

 
Christopher,

I just came across your book over the weekend, and haven't put it down since I got it.  What a great book!   There are so many useful tips in there.  The guide to what style (IPS) you are is invaluable, and I've often wondered why I don't always feel great in some of the piece of clothing and jewelry I own - - it's the wrong stuff for me!

Your writing style is very informative, but done with great flair.  I was chuckling at your comments all throughout the book.  I've told several of my friends and family all about it, and they are all intrigued as well.

Cindy Detweiler

Becoming an author has been a difficult and often frustrating journey, but it is a journey that has helped defined who I am and help me fulfill my life purpose.  That purpose being to inspire beauty and enrich lives in a spirit of joy and love.

To all my peeps out there who have become facebook and twitter fans, who have followed my video blogs on YouTube and who have become special friends:  Thank you. Creating and presenting this book to the world has been a great fulfillment and that is due to the unending circle of love we will always share. 

Yours truly,

Christopher
