Give the gift of empowerment this holiday season.
With the year coming to an end, it’s the perfect time to gift someone or yourself a book this holiday season that will inspire and empower the reader to love themselves inside and out. New year, same beautiful you! That’s what we believe at PMM.
Here’s 5 books that we’re currently reading at the PMM offices and think would make the perfect gifts this year:
