Field Guide to Outside Style By Ryan McEnaney @Quarto.Knows 

 

As seen on site:

Make your outdoor space as comfortable and personal as the inside of your home with design and planting guidance from Field Guide to Outside Style. 

Maybe you’ve just purchased your first home or you have an existing outdoor space that’s overgrown and old-fashioned, and you want to turn it into a place that blends perfectly with your sense of style and your life. But where should you start? How can you be sure to create a space you can sustain? Field Guide to Outside Style leads the way. You’ll learn to personalize your outdoor living space with the right plants, furnishings, and other design elements to create a space that reflects YOU perfectly, even if you’ve never sunk a shovel into the soil before.

The word “gardening” can be intimidating if you aren’t used to digging in the dirt, yet you want a gorgeous outdoor living area you feel proud of. Author and outdoor living pro Ryan McEnaney helps you make it happen by meeting you where you are. He cuts out the intimidating stuff, doesn’t use scary terms, and supports you through the entire process.

• Start with what you already love. Learn how to translate your choices in clothing, colors, furniture, and architecture into an understanding of how to design your outdoor areas.
• Next, set parameters and expectations. Learn how to plan smartly so you don’t get in over your head. 
• Then, select your aesthetic. Decide which of three primary outdoor design styles—the classic, the modernist, and the naturalist—suit you best and use easy-to-digest, mix-and-match design suggestions and recipes to create an outdoor living area of your dreams.
• Plus, see your options in action. Through case studies accompanied by before-and-after illustrations of outdoor rehab projects, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of the options for you and your space.

Close the book confident in your ability to select plants and design concepts that work in your region, fit within your abilities, and ultimately match the rest of your life perfectly. And to sweeten the deal, the long-term success of your new outdoor space is supported byinformation on seasonality, sticking to a budget, and creating a balanced space to ensure your newly discovered outside style shines for many years to come.

Nothing Is Impossible is exclusively on Pure Flix #NothingIsImpossibleMIN #MomentumInfluencerNetwork

 Synopsis: Take a center-court seat to a journey of transformation as Scott Beck gets a second chance at life and love. Can he let go of past pains and open himself to God’s purpose? Or will new challenges keep him from the future he always hoped For.  

“Nothing is Impossible” is a movie about how to trust in God’s timing when it seems like none of our desires are being fulfilled in the way we hoped.

• “Nothing is Impossible” teaches us that times of uncertainty are when we should lean into our faith and trust God has a plan for our lives.

• This movie has a valuable lesson about how our past failures don’t define us. Instead, our reactions to past hurts can transform us.

• “Nothing is Impossible” teaches us the importance of forgiving ourselves and forgiving others for past mistakes.

Many thanks to Pure Flix for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

Cassandra’s Review- Strive to be the best version of you and no matter what keep going if you know it’s going to inspire greatness. Life is too short to not trust in God as well as yourself. 

Heaven on the Hudson By Stephanie Azzarone

 

As seen on site

Love New York?

Whether you live here, work here or are just visiting, there is so much to discover, often in the lesser known parts of town. Stephanie Azzarone’s first book, Heaven on the Hudson: Mansions, Monuments, and Marvels of Riverside Park, is the colorful tale of a singular New York City neighborhood and the personalities who make it special.

To outsiders or East Siders, Riverside Park and Riverside Drive may not have the star status of Central Park or Fifth Avenue. But at the city’s westernmost edge, there is a quiet and beauty like nowhere else in all of New York. There are miles of mansions and monuments, acres of flora, and fauna ranging from Peregrine falcons to goats. It’s where the Gershwins and Babe Ruth once lived, William Randolph Hearst ensconced his paramour, and Amy Schumer owns a penthouse. Told in the uniquely personal voice of a long-time resident, Heaven on the Hudson is the only New York City book that features the history, architecture, and people of this often overlooked neighborhood, from the 18th century through the present day. 

I received a complimentary copy.

Everything from the brilliant and beautifully selected photos to the well written information makes this book a great read. Plus if you are more familiar with the area it is even more enjoyable.
