Publisher Description: REAL LIFE MADE EASIER In today's lifestyle guru-obsessed world, where we all turn to magazines and TV personalities to teach us how to organize our lives, cook, look, and live better, it's refreshing to hear clever, who-would've-thunk-it suggestions from regular women. In Top Tips for Girls, today's primer for women in the know, Kate Reardon has collected just that--literally hundreds of tips on all areas of our lives, be it raising kids, staying fit, dressing well, planning a wedding, gardening, dating, dieting, traveling, or working. Far from garden variety, the tips you'll find here are surprising--the sort that women used to get word-of-mouth from their own moms, grandmothers, aunts, and best friends. Some of the many helpful, and even hilarious, tips you'll read here include: -To avoid blisters from new shoes, coat your feet with Vaseline. -Invest in a certain number of "nice" hangers. When you start having to use the metal ones from the dry cleaner, it's time to clean out your closet. -Impress guests with homemade-tasting mayonnaise by adding fresh lemon juice and capers or thyme to ordinary mayo. -Perk up wilted ferns by spraying them once a month with weak tea. -To find your car in an unfamiliar area, use the camera on your cell phone to take a picture of the nearest street sign. -Tone up your butt by squeezing it in quick reps of fifty while watching TV. -To safely dispose of receipts and bank statements without buying a shredder, simply keep a container of water to pop them in and let them dissolve.
