Author 

Jaclyn Westlake 

Synopsis 

What's a twenty something gal to do when her parents announce a divorce after thirty years of marriage, she finds out her best friend has cozied up to her archnemesis, and she accidentally sleeps with the wrong guy? Turn to her great- aunt for advice,of course.


Rosie Benson has always struggled to fit in with her over-accomplished family, type A roommate/ best friend, and workaholic boss. When Rosie is abruptly fired from her job at a tech startup where her boss was way too enthusiastic about synergy, the illusion that she has life figured out is shattered. Knowing she needs a push, her great aunt Dotty- a globe trotting, Martini swilling occasional nudist, and the only person Rosie has ever felt truly herself around - tried to challenge her to pursue a long buried dream.


But then Dotty dies.

And Rosie spirals.

As new details of Dotty’s past emerge through revelatory emails from her many friends, Rosie realizes that maybe her aunt's life wasn't as charmed as she thought. With her career, friendships, and family unraveling, Rosie must drown out the noise of the world telling her what she should pursue - a boyfriend, babies, boss-babe role at a corporate job and finally focus on what she actually wants.

B-PURE Gentle Skin Cleanser Review

I absolutely love trying new skin care products, especially those designed for people with sensitive skin like myself.  A few months ago on a trip to my local Dollar Tree I found the B- Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser and decided to give it a try.  Review  I was really surprised at how well the B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser worked at removing the dirt and oil from my face without stripping and irritating my skin. Let me just say it is definitely the most gentle skin cleanser I have ever come across. It leaves my skin clean, smooth and refreshed every time I use it. The B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser is now part of my daily 3 Step Skin Care Routine. I highly recommend trying it for yourself.
