Not bad advice, but most of it I'd never use and the scenarios were very eyeroll provoking.

The massive zit on the day you're getting your yearbook picture taken... the greasy hair after you pulled all-nighter... the hairy leg stubble you discover five minutes before your date shows up... AAAAUUUUGGGH! What's a girl to do? Check out these quick, cheap home remedies -- eye drops to reduce zits, avocado to fix split ends, and more!

It may be vain, but I loved this book. These are quick tips using products or foods you might already have around your house. And the book comes in a small, pocket-sized format with fantastic illustrations! This book will give you the confidence to face any crisis.

Read this if you want to look fabulous on a limited budget.

This is geared to a college-bound young girl, but should not be considered good reading material. If anything it's teaching young women to focus on what they look like before what they want to be known for. This is like a Pinterest book: ideas for home remedies + female enhancement lessons. Not good for the classroom...kind of shocked that we bought this at the Scholastic books sale!

This is a cute little book. Figured I better read it real quick, since Sis keeps snagging it off my TO READ pile and taking it to her room. LOL

Quick fixes for beauty issues any girl can face; solutions are realistic and possible.

Some of the tips are kind of ridiculous. Some of them are kind of useful.
