Although I received
this book free of charge from Blogging for Books, I was not obligated to write
a positive review. All options

Early last week, Blogging for Books
sent me Lea Michele's new book Brunette Ambition to do a review! I have been looking forward to reading this book, since I'm a big fan of Lea! I was so excited to dive
right into it!
If you don't already know, Lea
Michele is currently the star of the hit show Glee and also just released
Louder, her debut solo album. In addition, she wrote a lifestyle book called
Brunette Ambition which was released in May of 2014.
In short, this is a book dedicated to
showing off Lea's beauty, diet, fitness and lifestyle tips & tricks. She begins with sharing a
bit of her childhood and how she got into the business that she is in. She
highlights each major role that she has had along the way and shares many
personal photos for everyone to enjoy. She makes it very clear that she has
worked extremely
hard to get to where she is today.
In later chapters, she shares some of
her beauty tips, including recipes for natural face masks and hair treatments, which she uses
herself. One thing that I loved about the book and what Lea shared was that she
really emphasized on taking
some time to yourself whenever possible whether it be taking a relaxing bubble
bath and binge watching crappy TV, just to take some time for you.
Lea makes it very clear that she
knows that she is privileged
to live the life that she does as far as having personal trainers and a
traveling hair and makeup team at her beck and call, however she also makes
everything so relatable
with her suggestions and tips.
This girl also has QUITE the sense of
humor! She talks about some of her favorite moments she's had and tells her
audience that when she was given the opportunity to perform at the White House,
she used the restroom and stole White House toilet paper!
This book is an easy read (it only
took me 2 hours!) and if you like any sort of 'girly self-help' books, you will
LOVE this one! And if you are anything
like me, you will read the whole book and then re-read it again to take notes
on all of your favorite tips and tricks! ;)
