Life Makeover: Embrace the Bold, Beautiful, and Blessed You

by Dominique Sachse

Overview

Have you ever been so overwhelmed by responsibilities or other people’s needs that you forgot to make time for yourself? They say beauty is only skin-deep, but there is power in embracing your outward beauty as the first step in living with internal boldness, confidence, and renewed joy.

An outside-in approach to beauty isn’t for other people’s perception of you, but for your interpretation of yourself and how much you’re willing to explore. Sachse has confirmed the unmistakable link between external appearance and self-confidence, and she wants to show you how to rekindle both.  

In the pages of this book, Sachse offers a vulnerable look into her own mistakes and imperfections and explains how making over her outward appearance resulted in a happier and healthier version of herself—emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

Filled with confidence-boosting wisdom about cultivating rest and lifegiving hobbies, Sachse shows you:

• how making small changes to your outward appearance can be a pathway to building confidence and making other new transformations in your life
• practical tips about hair, makeup, and fashion from an expert
• the benefits of taking bold risks – your life is too valuable to be left on autopilot 
• how to analyze your past and see where you self-sabotaged, and look for traits that served you well and can serve you in the future

 

Sachse knows no amount of makeup can compare to the look of a confident, classy, and kind woman, and that there’s nothing like the glow that comes from inner beauty. It’s time to discover—or rediscover—who you really are and live your life to the fullest.

Sachse, a former TV news anchor, debuts with a collection of practical advice on how women can feel better about themselves through changes to their lifestyle and appearance. Sachse takes a “beauty-from-the-outside-in approach” to boosting self-confidence, tracing the trajectory of her own style from accidentally dying her hair orange as a 12-year-old to trying out new looks while working on-air in Houston. She recommends that readers create a “vision” for their makeover, hire a stylist, and get comfortable experimenting with different looks. The value of rest is paramount, Sachse writes, recounting how she accidentally drove into the side of a van while sleep deprived. The author encourages acting boldly, reasoning that God makes opportunities but it’s up to each individual to take the leap of faith and act, even if they don’t feel ready. Sachse’s lifestyle and beauty tips read like recommendations from a friend, advising without proselytizing and leaving ample room for customization. Readers will appreciate Sachse’s positive message in this buoyant volume. Dupree Miller, Dupree Miller & Assoc. (Apr.)
