The Little Book of Life Hacks: How To Make Your Life Happier, Healthier and More Beautiful by              Yumi Sakugawa      208 pages

 Loads of useful tips to be found here for so many different categories one has to deal with in life from improving your health to improving your looks to improving your living environment.  A very enjoyable read with illustrations on every page along with several hacks or shortcuts to improving your entire world.  Some of the lettering on the illustrations are hard to read as the author/illustrator uses read ink on a pink background in exceeding tiny print or the same with green ink on a green background.  It looks fun but makes those parts force you to get a magnifying glass out.  Other than that the book is hugely useful with shortcuts to getting stains out of clothes, improving your overall appearance, recipes for easy peasy drinks (sangria for one), food and facials, how to make your current clothes turn into a multi-verse of new outfits just by pairing them in new ways with accessories and in different combinations.   She even tells you how to make the best scrambled eggs ever (honestly, Yumi, I find microwave scrambled the fluffiest best tasting so far, but, I'll take your word for it).   She has an endearing way of sharing environmentally and world friendly ways in her unique style to common every day issues we all deal with.   I highly recommend this book for all the fun things you will learn from it and be able to save time and be more cheerful while attacking those former frustrating problems.  I recommend this book to middle-schoolers on up.  Might as well learn shortcuts early on kids!
