Product Information

I can relate to some of her stories she openly shares within the book and she talks with such reassuring confidence. I did frequently think what a lovely gift it would make to someone in their late teens or early 20s leaving home for the first time, but then wondered if said someone wouldn't be more likely to get their life advice from Tiktok and Youtube. Her comments giving direction on "how to grieve" are incredibly trite and extremely offensive to those of us who have actually experienced grief.

I did enjoy the personal stories that were shared, such as finding out about her childhood, her father's hoarding and personal life, but these were far and few between. Ultimately, it's a review of two halves: Hughes is absolutely superb on advice pertaining to beauty, skincare and make-up (and I really appreciated her attitude to wellness quackery). In 2018, she co-founded the non-profit collective Beauty Banks and in 2022 she was awarded an Honorary Fellowship from Cardiff University for services to journalism and charity.

I also love the personable way in which the book is written - Sali's approach feels direct, genuine and with a sharp sense of humour. I've found it really hard to put down, much like Sali's previous books, as it's so comforting, honest and I've learned tips for things I didn't even know I needed tips for.

While not absolutely everything applies (as is rarely the case to everyone) I found it fascinating and there are loads of tips to pass on. I've read so many books like this over the years but I am yet to find one that gives any helpful or useful advice or insight .

A love letter to those of us who were not taught some basics, were taught it in a culturally displaced manner, or were just not taught things in entirety. The myriad of topics in this book is just fabulous - something for everyone and the tales she tells of family estrangement, being a night owl, maintenance sex and fiercely protecting her kids all strike a personal chord with me. I've enjoyed Sali Hughes beauty books and articles previously, so when I saw this I was intrigued to see her take on certain subjects.Fashion is a subjective section, I think if you like Sali's style posts on IG you may enjoy this chapter. I was particularly irritated by her views on childbirth- that you move on from the horror of it because, um, baby- which is carelessly and casually dismissive of birth trauma and CPTSD. Perhaps, at 44, and thus having a decent grasp on skincare, cooking and furnishing my house, I am not the audience for this book.

One of the best things about reading Nora Ephron is the life advice she arms you with: a go-to salad dressing, the pros and cons of red coats .Listened to this as an Audiobook over past month and have loved all the pearls of wisdom it contains . They felt like serious manuals from a person who knew more about the thing they were sharing than you did.
