P!NK

P!NK is a singer, an acrobat, a powerhouse. I just saw her in concert this week, and I was in awe of her strength (body and vocals) and how happy she looked throughout the show. It wasn't just a concert, but an amazing Cirque de Soleil-ish event. P!nk has created hit song after hit song starting with "Most Girls" to her current hit, "Just Give Me A Reason."

What book does P!NK recommend?

Pink tweeted last week to Jillian Michaels, "@JillianMichaels: I need a book recommendation. Can't sleep. Any thoughts? And don't say 50 Shades of Grey #perverts” LEAN IN."

Book summary from amazon.com:

In Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, Sheryl Sandberg examines why women’s progress in achieving leadership roles has stalled, explains the root causes, and offers compelling, commonsense solutions that can empower women to achieve their full potential.

Pink is an accomplished musician and performer, and it comes to no surprise that she recommends this book!


You can find out more about Pink at her website, and follow her on Twitter!


Enjoy one of my new fave songs from Pink and Fun., "Just Give Me A Reason." That's her husband, Carey Hart, that she's getting steamy with!
