Everything is Washable and Other Life Lessons: 2022’s New How-To Guide that will Help You Navigate Modern Life with Advice on Beauty, Money, Family and So Much More

Product Information

I would throughly recommend getting this book for anyone above 25, it’s filled with life lessons, tips, and caring advise from Sali. To access your ebook(s) after purchasing, you can download the free Glose app or read instantly on your browser by logging into Glose. I think if you're a fan of Sali Hughes than it makes sense to read as it's her chatting away and giving you advice. All of the advice provided was pretty obvious and I'm really not sure who it is meant to help or is targeted at.

All of our books are 100% brand new, unread and purchased directly from the publishers in bulk allowing us to pass the huge savings on to you! Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). eelkõige kõnetas mind see seletus, et kuna ta on oma sõpruskonnas lihtsalt see inimene, kes alati kõike praktilist teab/oskab ja kõigi olmeprobleemid ära lahendab, siis miks mitte kogu see tarkus kirja panna. We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child. 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.The topics covered range from soothing words of wisdom derived from heartfelt personal experience, to incredibly specific and practical advice on everyday tasks. If you're not a wealthy, house-and-garden, dinner party, fashion-conscious, able-bodied cis woman in your 30s living in Britain, most of it isn't very relevant. Hughes' weighing in on the over-saturated 'organise your life by tidying' market also fell a little flat for me; although her family background does leave her eminently qualified to comment, it wasn't saying anything particularly new.

This book opens with Home tips, but you can get these elsewhere from experts online, or perhaps you have copies of Laura de Barra's books already.

Sali Hughes is a journalist, broadcaster, Guardian columnist and founder of the award-winning salihughesbeauty. eeskujuks ja inspiratsiooniks oli Sali jaoks muuhulgas Mrs Beetoni kuulus viktoriaanliku aja majapidamisõpik, kus tõepoolest anti ohtralt nõu mitte ainult toitlustamise ja korrastustööde osas, vaid oli juttu ka riietumisest, viisakast käitumisest, lastekasvatamisest ja muudest elus vajalikest oskustest. However, this was a very enjoyable read, I like Sali's style and all her Pool Columns, some of which are repeated here. I also found it a comforting and uncomplicated read during a time of heavy turmoil in global affairs.

I’m not sure it’s where I’d look for advice on some of the topics covered and seems to jump from subject to subject without any real direction. 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. It also read from a very privileged white standpoint too, which I understand Sali is but when she showed vulnerability or the journey that she had been on to get where she is today, that is where this book actually worked. She's also strong when writing about fashion and clothes, and if the book had focused only on those elements it would have been a strong 4 stars from me.But this book gets even worse as the author dispenses "advice" on abortions , breastfeeding and depression which is inappropriate and she is totally unqualified to do so. Women and men of Sali's age know all (or at least most of this stuff), and young men and women simply don't seek advice from a book of this nature.

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. After finishing this book I am not sure what exactly it is meant to be - an interior design manual, a cookbook, a style and fashion guide. I’m a big fan of Sali Hughes and she has written a manual to life here that covers everything , plenty of things I already knew /do but lots of great tips and funny asides . 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. There's very little cohesion, jumping from tip to tip, serious to frivolous and would leave you relying on the index to ever find something again.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). Most of it was about things I didn’t need to know about due to me being old and past the need for a mortgage, abortion, or debt advice for example . The interesting thing is that occasionally we see flashes of vulnerability and signs of personal growth (when Sali talks about revisiting her childhood home, her father's hoarding, and her own parenting). I really enjoy Sali Hughes' writing, so I feel a little conflicted about giving a middling review of Everything Is Washable. They felt like serious manuals from a person who knew more about the thing they were sharing than you did.
