Lush & Luxe: Powered by Positivity by Joanne Vivolo is a non-fiction motivational book which focuses on how to be a mom as well as a career woman while enjoying life and avoiding feeling too overwhelmed by the life of a #PowerMom. It is also, above all, about getting past self-imposed limitations and includes a very relatable discussion that the author seems to have with us as she is “talking” to us, asking us to fill in documents, reflecting as we are reading and making the changes we want to make now as we go along and not later. Indeed, the author knows that later most often means never, unfortunately. The author gives ideas in order to help us turn our lives into our very own #DreamLife; hashtags which are fun and which, like a picture, are worth a thousand words; inspirational quotes and, last but not least, interviews of other #PowerMoms who have achieved happiness and success.

Joanne Vivolo, in Lush & Luxe: Powered by Positivity, has succeeded in reaching out to moms who need to be told over and over that they do not need to lead an overwhelming life, devoid of joy, relaxation, and happiness just because they are moms and have successful careers. Her book is clear, comprehensive (she deals with so many issues that we have to face every day!), and always gives ideas and advice to be able to achieve the #Lifestyle we all crave. This is, to quote the author, “a #SelfLove and constructive journey” that Joanne is offering us and I am delighted to have embarked on it! I will try to keep focused on my very own goals and I thank Joanne for sharing her work!
