Sometimes we forget who we are, or where we’re going, or who we are trying to become. Sometimes a day turns into a week, then a month and soon, we’re just coasting. Living life by default instead of creating it how we want.
That was the core reason for writing “Staging Your Comeback.” The belief was that if I have to look at a sheet of paper every day just to keep myself in check then others must need it to. That’s how the beauty revival guide that accompanies the book was created.
Understandably, for several reasons, my publisher didn’t want to produce a beauty revival guide to accompany the book. So I created the system for people to do it themselves. Using downloads from my site and the tenets of the book, it is fairly easy.
Now I want to create a beauty revival guide already assembled, so the process is that much easier. And visually, I believe if I provide an actual guidebook with all the pages to fill out and check off in it, I’m more likely to follow through with my plan. I’m that way. I like a kit.
So I need your help. I’ve gotten so many emails from people who’ve gone through the system and are seeing remarkable results. Great stories. But I know I’ve missed something. So I need your ideas. How can I make the beauty revival guide stronger and more helpful? How can I arrange it so it’s simplified, yet more effective at getting you off your butt and out of the rut?
I’d love to include stories. I’d like to include motivational quotes (got any that move you? Send them along!) I’d like it to become a piece you look at every day that is your motivation to become your best yet.
So I’m just asking for your ideas. What would you like to see in this guide that could help it help you look forward to cracking it open and getting on task? Throw them at me. Especially those of you have created your own revival guide and tailored it to your needs. You must have some great ideas I can use.
That’s it. A long way of saying…I need you to help me help you look, and be, your best.
Just email me back with any ideas. All are welcome.
Thank you,
Chrisotpher

When I was in my very early 20's a middle age couple that has been struggling with weight problems all their life said " Its a lot easier to keep your weight off than get it on and try to get off". That advise has stayed with me all these years and when I gained a few pounds, the advise returned.

Was down in the dumps I was afraid to start another makeover project.
In prayer.... God told me to go shopping.
In the store he led me to the book aisle. And lo and behold your book was the last book on the shelf..... just waiting for me.
Thank you for the wonderful inserts posted on line . I thought that I had to reproduce them myself. You have given me hope and inspiration.
Bless you.

I just finished reading the book. In fact, I read it through twice it was so excellent. Even though I already read way too many beauty and fashion magazines, I did learn some things.
First of all, thank goodness for the voice of reason about pantyhose! These gals who think their bare legs look good are just fooling themselves.
I really can use the tips about shoulder pads and three-quarter sleeves. My hair is long, but always colored and trimmed. Still, at 50, it is probably time to rethink that.
Lastly, the book inspired me to completely redo my closet and go back to Weight Watchers.
Thanks so much for the great book.
Ad for the guide book, I would be more inclined to really use it if it were spiral bound so it would lay flat.
