Read My Lips: What It Takes to Build a World-Class Homegrown Brand by Rissa Mananquil Trillo—co-founder of Filipino beauty brand Happy Skin—is part-memoir and part-business guide: by rooting the conversation in Rissa’s own experiences—from her failures to her successes, from her lowest moments to her brightest triumphs—she inspires not just readers ready to rise to a new career challenge of entrepreneurship, but also anyone who wants to learn about beauty, business, and life. Read My Lips is divided into two parts. In the first, Rissa answers questions about entrepreneurship, helping you start and run your own business, while fully understanding both the sacrifices and fulfillment that go with making the leap. In the second, she imparts lessons gleaned from her own life experiences that unfolded the path for opportunities in business and beauty, as well as values needed to survive in entrepreneurship.
In a snowy castle, far, far away from everyone, lives a girl. Her hair is as dark as the night sky, her skin is as white as snow, and her lips are as red as petals from a rose—and her life as enchanted as her violet-colored eyes. Waking up in a world she doesn’t remember, Alice is catapulted into the intrigues of the Middle Kingdom. Amid the danger this place holds, her only chance of safety lies in Prince Clyde, the only heir to the throne. What begins as only a fight for her freedom becomes a battle between the present and her past.

Here, you will find moon-eaters learning for the first time that they are fearsome monsters, a Salamangkero living with the knowledge of both gods and man, and mortal men winning over the hearts of otherworldly beings. In these pages, Ian Sta. Maria, along with other talented storytellers, has created a world where men walk free among monsters and myths. But these stories bring neither fear nor torment. Instead, they tell only the stories that are worth telling—that of the heart in conflict with itself. They say that through stories, we bring out the best and the worst in all of us. Most important of all, stories bring out acceptance— of who we are, who we were, and who we want to be in the deepest parts of our hearts. These stories invite you to be a part of this world. Welcome. Come as you are.
