Radiant: Recipes to heal your skin from within (Hannah Sillitoe Books)

Product Information

Loïe Fuller was famous in her day, but her star faded as the decades passed and other more appealing celebrities took her place. Loïe was an American dancer who settled in Paris as a young woman, where her eccentricities were more readily embraced. She became renowned for her innovative choreography, which incorporated lighting and flowing fabrics, both of which she designed. She patented dozens of inventions, all as a self-taught explorer of chemistry and physics, using art to discover scientific principles, and her stage lighting techniques transformed modern theatrical and dance productions. Along the way, she collected admirers of her work- Auguste Rodin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Auguste and Louis Lumière, Stéphane Mallarmé and Queen Marie of Romania. There are 4 parts to this book each with several chapters. Each part begins with scriptures to read, affirmations to recite, along with an example of God’s eternal truth which women should believe. At the end of each section there are things to think about and ‘takeaways’. Most readers have probably not heard of Loie Fuller, the American performer whose pioneering work in modern dance and theatrical lighting techniques — particularly with her popular "Serpentine Dance," a swirl of silk skirts and rainbow-colored spotlights at Paris's Folies Bergères — centered her in the Art Nouveau and Symbolist movements.

Beginning with a juice cleanse, Hanna takes you through a range of delicious, skin-loving meals including Turmeric and Ginger Chia Pudding, Immunity Ramen, Beet Burgers and even Clean Tiramisu. She also shows you how to create homemade beauty products, including an Avocado and Honey Facemask and Rosemary and Lemon Salt Scrub, which have gone on to inspire the eponymous skincare range for which she secured funding on BBC 2's Dragons' Den.First, a caveat: I am the author’s cousin. However, my mother was a librarian, and I was an English teacher for 38 years, and what I have to say is in light of those experiences, as well as my knowledge of Liz's research as she wrote this book. Whilst not a book designed for weight loss, the clear skin diet information can often coincide with a reduction in body weight. Because of this, it is always advisable to speak with a Doctor or Pharmacist before embarking on a skin clearing journey from Hanna Sillitoe’s book to ensure there’s no contraindications.

Both women faced struggles with the male-dominated society that existed in the late 19th and early 20th century. I especially enjoyed learning more about Marie Curie's life as a scientist, wife, mother and celebrity. Even a century ago women found that their personal life could be used against them by sensational journalism. Marie and Loie both met and were friends with many of the famous lights of their time - from Rodin and Isadora Duncan to Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison.

At the turn of the century, Paris was a hotbed of creativity. Technology boomed, delivering to the world electric light, the automobile, and new ways to treat disease, while imagination blossomed, creating Art Nouveau, motion pictures, and modernist literature. A pivotal figure during this time, yet largely forgotten today, Loie Fuller was an American performance artist who became a living symbol of the Art Nouveau movement with her hypnotic dances and stunning theatrical effects. Credited today as the pioneer of modern dance, she was perennially broke, never took no for an answer, spent most of her life with a female partner, and never questioned her drive. She was a visionary, a renegade, and a loyal friend. The connection between Marie Curie and Loie Fuller and their support of one another is one of the most intriguing parts of this book. Both were “radiant” in their own way and paved the way for more respect for women in both science and the arts during a time not given to thinking about women as anything other than as wives and mothers. It is a natural fit to connect these two in the book, especially in light of their long, on-going friendship. What better way to enlighten the reading audience about two such brilliant women? Liz’s ability to create dialogue for this book of narrative non-fiction is admirable; she does this with the utmost care and attention to the truth. Although non-fiction is not my favorite genre, I found the the dialogue livened up the material, helped me picture the scenes, and captured my attention in a way much non-fiction does not do for me.In today’s society, almost every women could benefit from the message that Priscilla offers. I think this book would work well as a women’s study guide, although reading it ‘solo’ would certainly be beneficial. Many of the chapters include lists—list of the names that women should be called by, names that define who they are in God’s sight. She talks as an older sister to her younger sister, writing with both love and experience, and that shows through. For more than 20 years, Hanna suffered from severe psoriasis, eczema and acne - sometimes so badly that the only way to stop herself scratching was to wrap her body in clingfilm. When her doctor suggested the only remaining course of treatment was chemotherapy, she took matters into her own hands and cured herself through a change in diet and lifestyle.

Going Beyond Ministries also equips believers through books and Bible study resources. Priscilla has authored over a dozen video driven studies for women and teens on a myriad of Biblical characters and topics including Jonah, Gideon, the Exodus, discerning God’s voice, The Armor of God. Most readers have probably heard of Marie Curie, the Polish and naturalized-French scientist whose groundbreaking research on radioactivity and the isolation of radioactive isotopes led to her becoming not only the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, but also the first person and the only woman to win it twice in two different fields: Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911. When Hanna Sillitoe appeared on Dragons' Den, every Dragon offered her investment. In her first book, Radiant, she shares the lifestyle changes and recipes that transformed her life. By encouraging young women to find their true identity in Christ, Shirer focuses on God's Word as a means to make wise decisions. A uniquely eccentric figure even in the crowded field of Belle Époque Paris, "rather than depending on choreography or exposed flesh," the 5-foot-2 Fuller "incorporated technology into her art to make it new and modern." Ceaselessly pursuing her beautiful stage illusions through luminescence, Fuller also sought patents for her inventions, for "it was Loie's mind, rather than her face or body, that made her shine brighter than the other dancers in Paris."

There's also the pull of hindsight, as we now know the devastating effects of the radioactive element and it's almost cringe-worthy to experience a time when those were not known. Reality: While this book acted more as a reminder for me than learning a lot of new things, I needed that reminder. Priscilla talks about identity: what it is and what it is not, and how we are created uniquely by God to fulfill a specific purpose. The book also touches on other important topics like the importance of boundaries, social media, and knowing God's will. (She also talks very briefly, maybe less than a paragraph, about same-sex attraction, and handles it very well.) A scientist we know as Madame Marie Curie pursues her work with radium for such uses, among many, with medical diagnostics and treatment.

Part hidden history, part love letter to creative innovation, this is the "imaginative and immersive" ( The Star Tribune ) true story of an unlikely friendship between a dancer, Loie Fuller, and a scientist, Marie Curie, brought together by an illuminating discovery.Did you know that God’s light can shine through every facet of your identity? Radiant is an invitation for teen girls and young women to enjoy a candid conversation on identity with bestselling author Priscilla Shirer. You’ll hear reflections on life lessons she’s gathered from her teen years until now. She’ll show you how the light of God’s Word shaped her identity, and she’ll teach you how it can change and shape your life as well. Uplifting and inspiring for those who have been searching for the answer to seemingly unsolvable skin complaints, Hanna's programme is also suitable for those simply looking to improve their overall health and complexion. It's a recipe for good health and clear skin, from the inside out. tl;dr: This bite-sized book talks about topics and struggles that are universal for young women from a solid and loving ChristIan perspective, focusing on identity. I would recommend this to teen girls, but more mature tweens and also young women in their early twenties might enjoy it too. Radiant is about Marie Curie and a dancer I'd never heard of, Loie Fuller. These two women developed a lasting cooperative friendship and both broke barriers in early 20th century Paris.
