I could tell I purchased this book in my early-mid 20’s. I’m now 38. It does have nuggets of great info for any woman, specifically travel section, volunteering, navigating etiquette. And then there are some sections that made me laugh at how not practical they are. But all and all, a nice book.

read this quickly during my recent Barnes and Noble retreat. The pictures were pretty, and it was a fun, colorful book.

not a ton of substance, and completely impractical for my lifestyle. i suppose i wasn't cut out for a Glam Life. oh well, maybe some day.

it would be a fun read if i was a young, single girl, living on my own. :)

This was a book I found tucked in back of a shelf in a used book store. I thought it was cute, and it while it was, it was super practical. Not slap-my-forehead practical, but stuff I already knew. It was still a fun read and nice to refer back to.

This book caught my eye at Target. It has some good tips and Robyn Moreno is like a young, hip Martha Stewart.
