In the world full of apps and online working, it’s nice time to time to disconnect from your phone and actually grab a book and read. Even if I must confess that I’m still in love with hard cover, pages that you flip and book that you can leave on your vanity at night. Even if I usually read my books between meetings and when I’m taking the subway. Depending on my moods I like to read funny and cute sorties from Sophie Kinsella (you all know the Shopaholic saga) or more in depth studies on nutrition and self development and of course beautiful books about beauty and fashion. Here’s my current favorites books to get inspired !
Dans un monde rempli d’appli, d’emails et de travail en ligne, c’est agréable de se déconnecter de son portable de temps en temps et d’attraper un vrai livre et prendre le temps de lire. Avec la vague des e-book et audio-book, je dois avouer que je reste une amoureuse de couverture rigide, des pages qu’on tourne, et du livre qu’on laisse sur le chevet de son lit ou vanity. Même si je dois avouer qu’en général je lis mes livres entre deux rendez-vous et dans les transports parisiens ! Selon mon humeur, j’aime lire les histoires légères et amusantes de Sophie Kinsella (dont vous connaissez toutes la saga de l’accro du shopping), mais aussi des livres plus sérieux sur la nutrition et le développement personnel. Voici donc mes livres favoris du moment qui j’espère vous inspireront !

Skinny Bitch
I absolutly loved this book ! It’s not your typical boring diet book, this is a tart-tongued, no-holds-barred wakeup call to all women who want to be thin. With such blunt advice as, `Soda is liquid Satan` and `You are a total moron if you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin”… Behind all the laugh and bitchy attitude, this book promote veganism and the benefits of planted based diet for a happy healthy lifestyle.

How not to die
I must say the title totally get me in !Based on the latest scientific research, the internationally bestselling
How Not To Die examines each of the most common diseases to reveal what, how and why different foods affect us, and how increasing our consumption of certain foods and avoiding others can dramatically reduce our risk of falling sick and even reverse the effects of disease. And the most important thing is that it’s all available to us through what we eat.

The Secret
If you’re interested about the law of attraction and positive x, then you defiantly need to read this book. The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers – men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth and happiness, and that have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible.
