A Must Have for any want to be decent Lady / Mum! (0/0 people found this helpful)

A very nice and easy to read survival guide for women.
I am a mum of two and very often follow some of the many tips to live gracefully all year round. I even read it just to relax!
From clothing to cooking, Internet using, travelling and nonsense proof methods to keep your little angels busy and happy; this "manual" is the perfect gift for overwhelmed or stressed women. The motto seems to be "preparation is your best friend ever" and Trinny and Susannah certainly succeed in giving you some hints in preparing every aspect of your lady life (including a section for your dreams and projects).
Great job!

Brilliant book with handy hits (1/1 people found this helpful)

I had thought Trinny and Susannah had had their day, boy was I wrong! I picked this book up, on a whim, for myself and prepared to be preached to, a bit like in their clothes books (even though I enjoyed those too!).

But it is great, full of handy hints, brilliant even for a single lady without children like myself. T & S advise you things you really should know yourself, but as a busy, city dwelling lady, easily forget or never get round to doing.

The Survival Guide wasn't in the style of their other books, well it was in a way but more in a matter of fact way, I don't know, the tone seemed different to the other books. Didn't treat you as though you were a bit dim like the clothes books could tend to do!

The book covers all eventualities to packing for a holiday, present giving advice, first aid etc and tons of tips I had never heard of. All in their handy and cheerful yellow book!

My best friend in America who does have 2 daughters and husband is getting a copy of this for her birthday but I would gladly purchase for other females and would love to receive it as a present!

Highly recommended.

T&S overstep the mark (2/2 people found this helpful)

As a fan of the T&S shows, although the ones where they stand around having desperate (and badly dressed) housewives grovel at their feet is a little OTT, I was pleasantly surprised to find them stepping away from the sharp tongued wardrobe appraisal, for which they are infamous, to advise on other aspects of the hectic woman's life. As working women with husbands, kids, social lives (and a bank balance to juggle a little better than most) they are an authority in how to pack your suitcase, sun yourself with style and grab the bargains when they are still good buys not barrel bottom crap. I think, however, they skirt dangerously close to a lawsuit waiting to happen with this book. I would certainly never dream of putting Prep H cream on my eyes (something designed for the anus is going nowhere near my puffy circles) or giving frozen fruit to my toddler (something every health professional and baby book I have ever consulted seems to warn against) I would have much prefered T&S to stick to what they do best, giving the nation a dressing down for not dressing well.
