Book Club Discussion
Book Club questions found on Victoriamag.com
- Do you think the traditional “little women” roles celebrated in Louisa May Alcott’s classic are outdated in today’s society? What ideals do you believe are timeless?
- Who is your favorite character in Little Women, and why? Which character do you most identify with, and why?
- In Chapter One, Marmee reads a letter from Mr. March in which he exhorts the girls to “fight their bosom enemies bravely.” For Jo, her enemy was her temper; for Amy, it was her vanity. What would you consider to be your own bosom enemy? Have you discovered a way to manage it?
- Although the narrator is able to offer insight from each of the main characters, Jo’s voice rings above the others throughout the pages. How do you think the novel would differ if a sister other than Jo was the central character?
- Were you disappointed that Jo did not marry Laurie? Or do you think Professor Bhaer was better suited for her? Why?
- The complexities of sibling relationships—a jumble of childhood games, petty squabbles, family traditions, deep frustrations, and fierce loyalty—play out on every page of the novel. What moments best or most precisely illustrate the bonds between sisters?
- What scenes from Little Women linger in your mind long after you have closed the book?

Expectations on Women Part 2 -Here are the questions we asked our audience - we read through some of the answers in the episode: -What expectations do you think are placed on women? -What pressures do you face as a woman? -If you’re in a relationship, do you handle the majority of the grocery shopping/cleaning? -How do you split household chores? -Have you ever felt criticized for not appearing friendly/smiling? -Have you ever felt the expectation to be intimate with your partner, even if you didn’t want to/didn’t feel like it? -Do you feel pressured to be thin? -Have you felt pressured into marriage or having a family? -If you’re single, have you felt pressured to be in a relationship? -Do you feel that you have to shave your body hair? -We would love to discuss these same questions with men and members of the LGBTQ+ community. We realize women are not the only ones facing pressure and expectations.

Why We Chose it: -We both knew it’d be a heavy read, but the author told Chrstine through an Instagram post that it’d help her gain new perspective. -Author Dave Cullen was a reporter on the scene of Columbine. -The book is now being discussed in classrooms. Cullen also wrote a book regarding the Parkland shooting (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062882945/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=influencedthe-20&linkId=31e9e11bd9fc6888c40c0a7b0b74fc12&language=en_US).

Weekly Hate
Christine: The weather we’ve been having (Hot, Cold, Rainy, etc)
Lindsay: The Nordstrom Sale posts starting early (as of June 17) and telling people to open the Nordstrom card (bad advice to suggest people get in debt to shop a sale early)
Christine and Lindsay both shop the sale and use the credit card, but feel talking about it a month early is overkill.
The Nordstrom sale begins on July 12th. Will you be shopping it?

Weekly Love Lindsay: Digit Money Saving App (https://digit.co/r/WkxLbgoI7f?wn) (Referral Link) Lindsay featured this money saving app in a previous blog post (http://bourbonlipstickandstilettos.com/2019/05/things-that-make-my-life-easier/). If you have any questions, be sure to turn to her post for more information! Christine: Harry’s Fig Body Wash (http://bit.ly/2FwjhEY) (Affiliate Link) Christine mentioned this as her weekly love for this episode. It’s under $10.00 and smells incredible! Available where they sell Harry’s (http://bit.ly/2ZKj2xC) and available in two other scents. Weekly Hate Lindsay: Lack of diversity in the blogging world. Ever pay attention to blogger events? Alicia Tenise said it best (https://twitter.com/AliciaTenise/status/1141694857372676096). Christine: Shopping for men, in particular, for Father’s Day. It’s often impossible to shop for certain people in your life. Right!?!? An update my FIL received an outfit for Tennis and dinner! I’m sure you were all on the edge of your seat waiting for that update, LOL! Discussing The Idea of You By Robinne Lee This episode opens up discussion for our first ever book club pick for the podcast. We chose The Idea of You (https://amzn.to/2Ry1T7A) as it is a book that really took us by surprise! It’s sexy, it’s thought provoking, and it’s a great Summer read! It brings up a lot of important topics such as ageism, feminism and sexism. However, I think that most importantly, it shows us that a woman can be desirable, even at an age where we’re told that we can’t be. This book will have you wanting to pack your bags and head on tour with Hayes. It will have you blushing as the scenes are VERY descriptive. It will leave you asking yourself a lot of questions even after you finish reading this book. Bottom line, it’s a must-read book!

Started Blogging in 2011, under a different name. Started back up again in 2014
Bourbon & Lipstick is a Southern Lifestyle Blog
Started out primarily as a beauty blog, but realized how expensive it was to keep up with purchasing new releases
Needed a creative outlet
The first post was about bras
Christine: Simply Stine (https://www.simplystine.com)
Started in 2012
Simply Stine is a Beauty and Southern Lifestyle Blog
Started out primarily as a hobby as blogs were becoming popular and she was getting asked a lot of questions about related issues
Evolved beyond beauty as she realized she wanted to spend time sharing more of her life and other issues, topics, etc.
The first post was about a Bath & Body Works product line
We discuss:
Social Media (Buying likes, followers, etc)
Instagram and why we think it's pretty much the worst at times
Loop Giveaways
How to put together a media kit and work on approaching brands for sponsored work, etc
Why we both question those that ONLY post sponsored content
We answer if we think blogging has changed since we both started
The difference between Influencers and Bloggers
