The Sweet Life

Find Passion, Embrace Fear, and Create Success on Your Own Terms

By: Dulce Candy Ruiz

Narrated by: Joell A. Jacob

Since posting her first makeup tutorial in 2008, Dulce Candy has become one of the top beauty stars on YouTube - boasting more than two million subscribers and garnering hundreds of millions of views for her bright and energetic how-to videos.

But before she became a style icon and a role model to millions of young women, Dulce struggled to make her way in the world. Having emigrated from Mexico to the United States when she was six years old, Dulce battled depression and low self-esteem as a teenager and eventually enlisted in the army in an attempt to turn her life around. It was here, on the battlefields of Iraq, that she finally uncovered and embraced her true passion - fashion and beauty - and gained the confidence to move on from her past, follow her dream, and launch what would become her wildly successful brand.

Part memoir, part manifesto, The Sweet Life is a fun, inspirational guide for any woman who wants to find success without compromising who she is.

Critic reviews

"[Dulce] proves any dream is valid when it's your own." (Kelli Acciardo, Latina magazine)

Inspirational!

I loved this book and feel inspired to go back to school and focus on my fitness. Thank you so much Dulce Candy. After losing my dad 4 months ago I have been very sad and cried many tears but this book gives me a different outlook in life.

Not a fan of this narrator....

I liked the story but wish Dulce would have narrated it herself. The narrator was drab.

Awesome and Inspiring

Loved listening to this book while driving. Inspired me to not give up on what I want to do in life on the job or family wise.

So positive and personal! Loved it!

I loved the way she talked about her ups and downs in life , it made me feel like I was in the story with her.

I love this book

such an expiring book .I really hope she comes out with a second one. if so I'm hoping the second one she comes out with will be more storage on my personal life I really enjoyed that part the most.
