The ultimate guide for time-crunched women: the most important things you can do to improve and organize your life while taking great care of yourself

Women today are trying to outrun a chronic time deficit. So it’s no surprise that “15 Minutes to Your Best Self” has become SELF magazine’s most popular monthly section. Now the editors of SELF have written the ultimate sourcebook with easy-to-do time-saving tips and tricks to help readers be a little healthier and happier every day, without added stress, covering these essential topics:
• Health: The thirty-second heartburn fix, tips for avoiding a long wait at the doctor’s office, ways to reduce your risk of heart disease, and much more
• Fitness: How to burn more calories and maximize a few minutes of exercise each day- without going to the gym. Plus: the best do-anywhere ab flatteners and a quickie routine that will get you total-body toning in under 15 minutes.
• Nutrition: Painless ways to cut calories without saying no to treats; a weight-loss plan that doesn’t involve dieting.
• Happiness: Tips for alleviating stress, recharging your energy, and rejuvenating your psyche
• Beauty: Whiter teeth, shaving without razor burn, and runway-quality makeup on a drugstore budget
• Style: Surefire swimsuit selection, outfits that convert from workday to weekend wear, and other insider tips that make it easy to look great
• Sex and Relationships: Simple, not embarrassing, strategies to put passion back in your life
• Money: How to (finally!) plan and stick to a budget, conquering credit woes, investment basics for fun and profit
• Home: Fast ways to ban clutter, how to throw a chic party and more

Packed with full-color photos, SELF Magazine’s 15 Minutes to Your Best Self is the playful but sophisticated reference busy women can turn to over and over again for ideas, advice, and solutions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas you can really do in 15 minutes January 29, 2008
Format:Paperback
I was surprised by how many of these tips made me go "wow, what a good idea!" I found myself tagging pages with stickies to remind me to come back and try some of the tips.

I've already put a few into action in my closet and told several friends the trick about buying the right bra -- it should fit on the LOOSEST hook, so that as it stretches out, you can adjust (once it's on the tightest hook, it's time to get a new one). The book is full of tips like that, things that make you think "oh, that totally makes sense...why didn't I know that before?"

There are also great workouts to take to the gym, healthy quick meal ideas, etc.

Next up for me is the finance section, to help me get rid of the last bits of credit card debt and figure out how I can make a plan to stop renting already!
