Bibliography

I liked the emphasis this book placed on being happy with yourself and your own body shape.  The author recommends not comparing yourself to others and reminds the readers that "...models spend hours having their hair and makeup done, and cameras can play some serious tricks."*  Since this book is written assuming that the audience will be teens, the author recommends that, in this time of beginning to make more choices on their own, they begin to develop healthy habits.  The suggestions of food choices and exercise are actually very good, in most cases.  There are even some great pictures of Tiffani, Elizabeth, and Lark doing some of their favorite exercises, along with some descriptions of how to do the exercises.

The chapter on skin describes skin in detail using scientific terms and would actually substitute for a health book.  The author and the girls recommend sticking to a few basics rather than a lot of expensive skin care products or an elaborate routine.  The author even describes a few more natural products you might use on your skin, such as baking soda, and describes how to use them.  There are recipes included for facial masks for normal, dry, and oily skin--mostly using natural ingredients you'd have in your house.  The author also talks about the importance of using sunblock.

The hair and makeup chapters recommend moderation and common sense.  All three girls say they prefer a more natural look with their hair and that they wear only a minimum of makeup when not working.  The author gives some tips  that tell how to take care of your hair and how to apply makeup moderately.

The chapter on stress describes what stress is and how to deal with it, especially depending on the source of the stress.  The girls tell how they deal with stress and the author offers further advice and tips, such as talking to your parents, talking to friends, writing out your thoughts and  feelings, praying, quilting, and more. 

I was pleasantly surprised with this book.  Along with the reasonable advice and tips, there are great pictures of all three girls throughout the book, tips and quotes from them, and valuable information.   This book was not about being the prettiest girl, how to have the "best" hair, or how to get guys to like you.  It was filled with practical, moderate advice that would help any teenage girl feel good about herself and begin thinking about taking care of herself.  I wouldn't hesitate to have my own teenage daughter read this book.
