Magnificent, the content was raw, just the way I like it! Also . . .  I need that workbook NOW!  -Karine Miller

The humor threaded throughout the book eases the discomfort of facing the woman in the mirror! -Fiona Rus

It's a pleasurable and valuable read. There were instant applications for me! I liked the transparency in the narratives. -Beneatha Barkley

I enjoyed each of the personal stories. I could relate to each one in some shape or form. I especially enjoyed the quizzes. This book helps us [women] focus on us and not someone else's scenario or the so-called perfect picture other books often paint. There was raw and real material, and it was evident in every page.  -Nichole Griffin 

The realness of the stories is great! Each relatable story reminds you of a girlfriend you have.  -Debra Lewis 

Loved the pure honesty and witty delivery. Women from all walks of life can relate to the stories. This is a must read! -Toni Smith

Are You Polished? is just the encouragement you need to move forward, toward your self-care goals. Through stories and experiential activities, Patrice encourages her readers to pamper themselves and reveals how to create a powerful rhythm that works for them. - Kary Oberbrunner, Author of Day Job to Dream Job, The Deeper Path, Your Secret Name, Elixir Project, Called, The Journey Towards Relevance
