There was a noticeable difference during work, I was struggling less in the afternoon slumps and had sustained energy to get through the day without relying heavily on caffeine or a sugar hit to keep me going. Over time, I found myself craving less sugar in general and my mood was more balanced. She was dogged by Hollywood, but I think that in any life she led, this was a woman whose personality was so frail that she might well have come to a dusty end, even if she had an ordinary — what we call ordinary — civilian life. The pressures of it all, and the pressures on her as someone created as a model for sexual femininity that doesn’t really exist, were just almost impossible for her to survive. Graves's value as a poet aside, flaws in his scholarship such as poor philology, use of inadequate texts and outdated archaeology have been criticised. [10] [11] Some scholars, particularly archaeologists, historians and folklorists have rejected the work [12] – which T. S. Eliot called "A prodigious, monstrous, stupefying, indescribable book" [13] – and Graves himself was disappointed that his work was "loudly ignored" by many Celtic scholars. [14] Recently, Netflix released The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes, covering and re-enacting audio tapes from Summers' collection. This prompted me to reread what is almost certainly the most comprehensive, independent autobiography of Marilyn Monroe to date. Released nearly 40 years ago, almost half of the book is devoted to the circumstances surrounding the events of the tragic night of August 4, 1962. Using witness statements, wiretaps, testimonies of family members, and other sources, Summers documents and allows one to piece together a plausible and probable timeline of events that differs dramatically from the generally-accepted story. I gain new insights every time I read this book. Read on for three different perspectives on The Glucose Goddess Method from real people who've tried it. Our testers Rowena

After the decision had been made, Jim Dougherty, a friend of that family and Norma Jean were given a period of several weeks in which to "court', until she turned sixteen and more "mature" for marriage. Goddess was a brilliant conclusion to a stellar series, and I’ll definitely be reading everything Josephine puts out in the future. I’d definitely recommend this series to fans of mythology and paranormal alike, and to anyone who loves a lot of romance that doesn’t interfere with the story, but is a part of it. Super unique. Looking forward to exploring more from this author and more short horror from Creature Publishing. In addition, Braden reminds anyone who wants to try the method that you don’t have to follow it perfectly 100% of the time. ‘There’s no pressure if you miss a step or day along the way. If you go easy on yourself and embrace the challenge with an open mind, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the flexibility and freedom this method provides, and how the simple but effective changes can really improve your overall health for the better.’ Who should try it

Awakening Shakti by Sally Kempton:This one’s for all the yogi’s in the house – and even for those like me who flail about on the mat and hope you’re doing it right! This lush text by Sally Kempton pays homage to the Hindu Goddesses and the sacred feminine principle of Shakti. Sally brings you close to the heart and inspiration of Kali Ma, Lakshmi, Radha and many other Hindu Goddesses in a beautiful read. Ari. Well, I love this girl. She truly grew so much in this book. Her willingness to help her friends and family and her personality shined right through. My heart broke for her, and I wish I was able to take her pain away. I loved this girl like she was my friend. This is a possession story with a twist. A few friends gather together to channel their inner witch vibes and unintentionally conjure up an ancient goddess. This sudden presence in the friend group causes some concern among the girls and their parents. A priest is summoned which only manages to make the situation worse and more dangerous. The Golden Bough (1922, but first edition published 1890), an early anthropological study by Sir James George Frazer, is the starting point for much of Graves's argument, and Graves thought in part that his book made explicit what Frazer only hinted at. Graves wrote: Zeus: If you power of love me, daughter, you will regret it. Besides, that shit doesn't work when you're married to Hera. Now tell me...did you impersonate a human again?

The tapes in question — never before heard by the public until now — belong to journalist Anthony Summers, author of the book Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe, upon which the documentary is based. It's no secret that how much I loved Starcrossed and it's no secret how much I didn't like Dreamless. So, in all honestly, I was worried what Josephine would do with the final book in this series, but I'm so over the moon she did us readers proud!!! It is one of them books that gives you tingles while reading it, and I was literally a bundle of nerves all the way through. I did have to peak at the ending before I started reading it though - I know, so bad! But I needed to prepare Athena: And I bowed down to that ignoramus. Not to mention that Apollo was depicted as a murderer/rapist, Hades was depicted as a Helen fan girl, the vast majority of Olympians are not even mentioned. The only ones who were depicted as being reasonably decent were Helen of Troy, Paris, and freaking Aphrodite.
