Straight-Up

This past week I started reading a new book, which I love to do, but I rarely have time.  It is such an amazing book that I finished the extensive 5,000 pages of it on my Kindle Fire in four days!  Every time I was forced to put it down (someone has to clean) I was so eager to go back to reading.  This amazing book is “Skinnygirl Solutions: Your Straight-Up Guide to Home, Health, Family, Career, Style and Sex.”  Notice that the book title starts with “Skinnygirl” and that is due to the great fact that the author is Bethenny Frankel.  Bethenny is the creator of the Skinnygirl empire which includes alcoholic beverages, shape wear and many more things which are all discussed in this book.  I am not a book critic, however I am a woman in her early twenties seeking as much knowledge about life as possible and that is exactly what I found in Bethenny’s latest book.  I am dedicating this blog to “Straight-Up” convince YOU to read her book because every girl should!

This book covers absolutely every aspect of a woman’s life from living a healthy fit life, to parenting, to understanding money, career & business.  Not only does she cover the everyday topics, but she also explores the topics of sex, marriage and all of those taboo topics women dare not talk about.  Reading this book was a “girlfriend” experience, in the sense that I felt as if my best friend was giving detailed advice about things that every girl needs to know.  Women should fully get to know who we are and this book helps us discover just that! 

Each chapter is creatively accompanied by drawings that help support the topic at hand.  I have to say that the drawings were one of my favorite details.  Also, throughout the book, Bethenny brings in expert advice from various sources to help elaborate each topic.  The book also includes up-to-date public figures (celebrities, business owners, etc.) that Bethenny uses to show the everyday woman that you can reach your full potential. 

All in all, the book is at the top of my favorite books. It has added so much valuable information that I can use in my own life as a student, wife, and ever changing woman. While reading the book there were multiple times that I told myself that I need to buy a hard copy because there is so much information I will be using in the future. The book has helped me to explore who I really am and most importantly having this new found knowledge is definitely power! 

Quick side note: the very first Skinnygirl product that I ever tried was the Margarita and I became hooked on it.  Margaritas are my favorite drink, so when I found this low-calorie, delicious drink, I fell in love.  Now I am moving onto the Skinnygirl wines.
