[.ca] Success Never Smelled So Sweet: How I Followed My Nose ... (ISBN 1400061091)

Very Inspirational:
I haven't even finished reading the book yet (I'm half-way through)but I couldn't wait to write my review. So far I love it. The book takes the reader from Lisa's first romance with nature's scents to the starting of her now booming business. It is filled with lot's of interesting adventures along the way. From reading the book I feel that the creater of Carols Daughter is a very down-to-earth person who humbly shares the details of her most intimate/emotional experiences for the main purpose of letting readers know that they can truly overcome life's obstacles. It also teaches us to rely on our talents and pursue our dreams. From reading her story Carols Daughter fans will get an insight of how she came up with some of the names of her products and their meanings. Throughout the book she has strategically place recipes (food, oils, etc) that coincide with each chapter. There is also a resource guide at the end of the book which lists natural ingredients and essential oils along with their properties/uses. Success Never Smelled So Sweet is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it to both Carols Daughter Fans and future fans alike.

Such a remarkable story...:
There is nothing in the world like seeing someone take a passion and making it into something that not only benefits them, but is a blessing to others as well. SUCCESS NEVER SMELLED SO SWEET is such a book, as it shares the life story of Lisa Price, the founder of Carol's Daughter, Inc., a line of bath and beauty products. To be able to read such a remarkable story is indeed a blessing that so many others are now able to receive. Through her memoir, we're able to see not only a glimpse into the growth and development of a million dollar empire, but also into the strength of one woman who chose to follow her dreams, despite hard times and obstacles along her path. Lisa Price shares her early childhood in Brooklyn and her love for scents as she spent kitchen time with her Trinidadian grandmother. She gives the reader an inside look at the troubles she faced growing up, the problems in school as well as her inner turmoil with her self-esteem based upon what others were saying about her. Just when she feels she has hit the bottom as far as her professional life goes, she steps out on faith and though in major debt and unable to get a business loan, she starts her business. Lisa doles out anecdotes, recipes, and heart-breaks, all the while sharing a part of herself that is warm, inviting, and encouraging to those who may also have troubles finding their way in life. I particularly loved how she shared her products with people she worked with who later became very famous people; yet, she never seemed to change from the gracious and kind-hearted person she was. Additionally, she includes some of her favorite recipes as well as pictures through-out the book to give it more of an endearing quality about it. Lisa Price's determination, passion, and drive for what she does slides off the pages of this book and into your very soul. This book is truly an inspirational story that anyone who reads will benefit from, as you are able to see that it was not until she let go of her fears, her self-doubt, and inability to break away from the past and move forward with what the future may bring that she was able to truly receive the blessings in store for her. There are exact passages and lines in this book that I felt were written by me on my own journey towards following my passion and entrepreneurship, things I could relate to so closely that they left me in tears. I give high praise and thanks to Lisa for sharing her story as well as to the person who referred this book to me as I'm one who normally do not read this genre. I don't recall any other book that I've ever read which has touched my life so much... Reviewed by Tee C. Royal of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

Inspiring:
I really enjoyed this book! I really did. I couldn't put it down. I read this within two days. And it just goes to show you that folk can go through some things and still come out on top. I use and enjoy Carol's Daughter products and they are great. And the recipes and insights that she shares with you are so generous. I really liked that a lot. Way to Go Ms Price!!

Inspirational:
I pre ordered her book via Amazon.com I received it a few days ago and I'm on the last chapter. She has gone through sooo much and still managed to make her mark. I have not used her products because I make my own. The only criticism I would make is that the book is too short! I wanted to read more about her current experiences...but I guess that would be another book in itself. If you can get it, it is worth every penny ~ she is an inspiration to us all!!!
