Hiding Behind The Lipstick

In a society that praises beauty, accomplishment, and wealth, it seems we will never be good enough unless we appear to "have it all."Hiding behind the Lipstick will help women combat the pressures of superficiality to discover their passions, pleasures, and purposes. As Myesha leads them to a place of renewal, readers will understand the benefits of being honest with themselves and each other.With everyday examples of women clinging to false identities, overwhelming expectations, and nagging lies, Hiding Behind the Lipstick opens the door for candid, life-changing conversations about life, love, and the masks that we all wear.

Are you wounded? Are you broken? Are you tired of dressing up for the role of 'who they want you to be and confused about who you really are?' Whether your face is beat to the Gods or you use a little mascara and a little lipstick, the average woman loves to wear make-up. Ever since we were little girls we've loved to play dress up. Some of us have carried that feeling with us into adulthood. However, as women the game of dress up doesn't serve us well but we've been playing the game for so long we've forgotten how to just be ourselves.

This 31-day journal includes spiritually fulfilling quotes and affirmations that will emotionally support and encourage you to allow confidence and authenticity take root and blossom into your truth.

A cult classic in a new edition. This book is about a single, serpentine fact: late in 1976 a record called 'Anarchy in the UK' was issued in London, and this event launched a transformation of pop music all over the world. The song distilled, in crudely poetic form, a critique of modern society once set out by a small group of Paris intellectuals. In Lipstick Traces, Greil Marcus's classic book on punk, Dadaism, the situationists, medieval heretics and the Knights of the Round Table (amongst others), the greatest cultural critic of our times unravels the secret history of the twentieth century.
