Shopping Around investigates the issues of contemporary popular narrative, feminine pleasure, and consumer culture, viewing the permutations of the feminine subject as a textual construction evolved through everyday life. A wide spectrum of texts are examined, exposing the fact that women "read" within a complex and conflicted cultural arena characterized by a significant intertextuality that multiply defines "femininity." Shopping Around raises these issues in the context of everyday cultural practices such as applying make-up, reading magazines, watching television, and working-out, providing a unique introduction to postmodern feminist and cultural theory.

The purpose of creating The Perfect Way to Survive a Storm is because I know this book can possibly help, enlighten, and inspire others. The goal is to teach financial strategies on how to survive a storm, personally or naturally caused. This book is like a blueprint to help prepare, discipline, and educate readers on steps to better, financially and mentally, prepare for a storm. The core focus of this book was to mentally help others be financially successful before, during, and even after a personal life storm. The double entendre is, even if a natural storm took place, readers will be mentally prepared, financially to challenge the storm. This book is based on true life experiences and goes into great details on what the artist went through, and most importantly, how the author got out of the storm. Imagine being in a situation with not many people to turn to, nowhere to go, and only a limited amount of income to work with. In this detailing story, this author explains times he had to sacrifice places and possessions to keep from losing everything. Daily rough times of sleeping in different places, borrowing money from bankers, and working with strangers to accomplish goals. Placed in highly stressful environments, somehow the author managed to keep his calm, faith, and patience to weather out the storm. Lots of drama, reoccurring events, dreams of almost making it out, with more problems ahead. Some events inspired from Hurricane Michael.
