I’ve not purchased any myself, but my mum likes to buy me them sometimes as presents, especially when I was younger. This is one of those books!
A book from the late naughts that talks about health and beauty, when I delved back into this I wasn’t expecting much. I was expecting some decent advice, along with some questionable content and a lack of representation. I was pleasantly surprised!
This book has genuinely good health advice, there’s representation in the girls they photographed, and the makeup and hair sections make a point of also providing ways of looking after Black hair and Black skin. It’s not perfect by any means but it’s definitely better than I’d expected!

I think the best “self-help” books are the ones that are halfway between self-help and nonfiction – like “Grit” or “You’re Not Listening”! It isn’t super positive in tone (in fact it’s a bit more sober/academic) but I feel like I learn a lot!
