All about Jane: Who Is Jane Buckingham? The ‘Job Or No Job’ Host Has A Seriously Impressive Resume
Covering everything from parties to porn, interviewing to Instagramming, crockpot cooking to cosmetics, and all that’s in-between, The Modern Girl’s Guide to Life doesn’t try to tell you how to be perfect. It simply tells you the stuff you need to know, but no one thinks to tell you—like how your shape wear can get uncomfortably hot unless it contains cotton (good to know before you find yourself sweating away your blowout at the company holiday party).
My thoughts: I am seriously excited about this book. I NEED THIS BOOK! I have it on my night stand and I read little snippets of it every night before I go to sleep. It is very entertaining and I love it! I am looking forward to learning many things so that I can be in~the~loop with all of this stuff. Next to the Bible, Modern Girl is going to be my new guide for life!
