Vivian
Diller:
Face It
|
Workshop - Tuesday 7 September
18:30-19:30
It's time to get yourself in gear after
those summer holidays, ready for the onset of Autumn and Winter!
Carolina
Rodriguez-Barros from "Dare to Glow" will present a workshop in
the bookshop on Tuesday 7th September based on the book "Face it: What
Women Really Feel as Their Looks Change" by Vivian Diller. The
book is an inspiring look at how women's looks change as they grow
older, and the different ways of approaching those changes. Carolina
will talk about the way society views beauty and ageing, and give
advice and examples as to how anyone can make the most of their own
looks, using make-up and clothes to best effect to bring out your own
personality.
Everyone is welcome - there'll be a glass of wine and a chance to
browse the bookshop after hours, so come along next Tuesday evening for
some fun, motivational advice on how to be beautiful for the year and
years to come!
