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 do walk a lot, and that's important for my head and my body, but I'm not an exerciser and I’m not very engaged with wellness! Really my sense of wellbeing comes from my emotional relationships. It increases massively when I spend time with the people I love.

This smart guide will help you navigate modern life, enabling you to save money and time. Sali Hughes offers striking good sense on: home; food and drink, fashion; health and beauty; life and finances; friends, relationships and family. Although the concept of the book may seem rigid, Hughes dispenses her advice with humour, and switches between the seemingly inconsequential to the big topics with ease. It would make a great gift to give to someone leaving home for the first time. 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). But she (understandably) doesn't seem to want this to be a focus. In a media world where women are encouraged to mine their own trauma., this may be a wise move or possibly a decision to wait until the memoir-propre.Didn't Anthea Turner put out this sort of claptrap some years ago? Did some weird tv show about how to fold your towels nicely. Everyone laughed at her and then no one ever heard from her again. From finances to friendships, food and fashion, this is the ultimate guide to life. Probably not something you would read in one go but something i will definitely reach for when im clueless about something 😂 By publishing your document, the content will be optimally indexed by Google via AI and sorted into the right category for over 500 million ePaper readers on YUMPU.

My most used concealer is the Dior Forever Skin Correct Creamy Concealer in 1.5N. It’s perfection on my dry skin. But I’m currently testing Vieve’s new Radiance Concealer and I’m very impressed. It works well on all skin types. Whichever I’m using, I always start with a dab of Beauty Pie’s Superluminous Undereye Brightener underneath.

Sali Hughes offers striking good sense on: home food and drink, fashion health and beauty life and finances friends, relationships and family.From useful, everyday tips such as how to cut your own fringe and how to buy great second-hand clothing, to the less talked about, agonising questions like how to split finances with your partner and how to grieve, Guardian beauty editor Sali Hughes has advice on the big and the small, and everything in between. Perhaps, at 44, and thus having a decent grasp on skincare, cooking and furnishing my house, I am not the audience for this book. 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. I own about seven Bobbi Brown Full Coverage Face Brushes, so I always have a clean one to hand. I use it to apply primer, foundation, bronzer, blush – anything liquid or cream looks better when it goes on with this, and it washes like a dream too.” I thought the extract in the Guardian was pretty risible - just a stream of consciousness about random things, most of which are pretty blooming obvious.

This was ok, but I didn’t feel like it helped me realise anything new or that I haven’t heard before. An unusual book in that it covered a smorgasbord (or even a hotchpotch) of topics E.g.it jumped from how to find an NHS dentist to how to clean makeup brushes. Did I learn much? No. 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 . 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. Body cream is my desert island product, because I’d be extremely uncomfortable without it. I have three next to my bed – Garnier Body Superfood Cream, Body Shop Avocado Body Butter (an old favourite that doubles up brilliantly as a bath cream) and Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Retexture & Renew Body Lotion, which is great if you have little bumps on your arms or flaky texture on your shins.” Had it leaned more into the personal stories and their relevance to the topics this could have been so much better.

I grew up with my father and brothers and was the only girl in the house, so appearance wasn’t discussed; it just wasn't a thing and I'm grateful for that. I also never heard either of my parents talk negatively or otherwise about how they looked, which I think gives you a good grounding because then beauty becomes a fun, life-enhancing thing and not a battle you're trying to win. All of the advice provided was pretty obvious and I'm really not sure who it is meant to help or is targeted at. I’m a foundation nut and try every single one that comes through my letterbox. I like a dewy rather than matte coverage, and it has to feel comfortable on the skin. Most days I use the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser in ‘Groenland’, M·A·C Face & Body Foundation in C2 or Dior Forever Natural Nude Foundation in 2.5N. If I’m going out or hosting an event and want to ramp up the coverage, I’ll use the Suqqu Liquid Foundation or Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue. I find powder is so underrated – it’s all about using it only where you need it and allowing the cheeks to glow through. The best powder is M·A·C Skinfinish Natural. I use the shade ‘Light Plus’.”
