     1. Shoo, Jimmy Choo! – A Modern’s Girls Guide to Spending Less and Saving More.

By: Catey Hill

 

This book is such a fun and easy read for getting your finances in shape. I think we all tend to run away when talking about managing finances. Either your really good at it, or you  fear it and dread talking about it. In this book Catey Hill covers everything from allowing you to take a “Spending Style” quiz so you can see where your problem lies, to getting out of debt and paying off student loans. After reading this book you will feel more inspired to start a financially stable life and you will be more educated about money for the future.

2. Get the Guy – Learn Secrets of the Male Mind to Find the Man You Want and the Love You Deserve

By: Matthew Hussey

 

This book is the perfect book for dating. The first couple chapters Matthew starts out telling you to compliment and serve people on a daily basis so you can get comfortable just talking to others. It’s a step by step process of feeling confident in your skin so you can reach that point of being direct with men. There are three parts to this book; Find the Guy, Get the Guy, and Keep the Guy. Matthew is an expert when it comes to communication and the male mind. He answers questions like – why didn’t he call?, How do I get him to commit?, and How to be the woman of his dreams!

3. The Nine Rooms of Happiness – Loving Yourself, Finding Your Purpose, and Getting Over Life’s Little Imperfections

This book is all about YOU!! It is a book that can help you find peace, happiness and acceptance in every area of your life. Lucy and Catherine compare rooms that you would find in your home (i.e. the bathroom, kitchen, living room, etc.) to areas of your life such as childhood, love, finances, future family, insecurities, etc. It is a great book for finding balance and taking a deep reflection into your own life and accepting everything just the way it is.
