The information was kind of dated and nothing ground-breaking.

I am a sucker for products that promise "gorgeous." I fell in love with this book because it gives unique beauty tips that I have not been able to find in other books or in the internet. I love it that it is not a strict diet book - I can still enjoy dark chocolate and keep my figure. I happen to have a high metabolism though. You can eat and enjoy life at the same time. As for exercise, I am not a big fan of treadmills - I adore Zumba and enjoy ice skating - way more fun. I was sad when I gave this book away for Gossip Girl - I chose to read Gossip Girl for my library science children's lit class. I wish I still have the book.

This book is an absolute hoot! AND, it has natural health/beauty tips to boot. It's written in a witty manner (like the etiquette book: "From Clueless to Class Act" and therefore, makes for great reading from topic to topic--it's not a book one needs to read straight through. AND, if I can say so myself, some of these TIPS have proven worthy to this gal! (In my opinion.) There's talk of vitamins, herbs, nutritional details and EVEN hangover cures! Overall, the book has proven a worth while read and lots of fun. I bought Vitamin E after reading some info within this tome.

FUN!

So far, the writing is very personable and a bit sassy - which is cool considering the book is targeted for young women on-the-go (who tend to be more sassy than not.) I've skimmed and I've already picked up a # of really good tips for living well. I think this book will be a handy-dandy go-to book for ideas and tips on how to be "gorgeous" in one or a few areas of my life. We'll see.

Wow, what a waste of money. Seriously I would hazard an estimate that about 60-75% of this book was lifted straight from the author's first book. Totally disappointing. So basically to see my review for this book just read my review from the first book here.

A great little book full of great tips on how to naturally solve tons of everyday health & personal problems. Something that belongs on the bookshelf of every lady that wants to take good care of herself :)

[Alison]

I like that all of the tips in this book are natural. It didn't make for an exciting read, but it is a book that I will consult in the future.

Great little book. I'd never before read the difference between blue and brown under-eye circles, and I'm really into beauty tips. I was impressed to find things in here that I haven't read before.

[Jenny Rebecca]
