Event Details

When people enter the “real world,” they’re often faced with the harsh reality that high school and college didn’t quite prepare them for the daily grind of adult life. Why weren’t there classes on how to plan meals for the week or how to decode body language, instead of that dreaded math elective? Comic book artist Yumi Sakugawa offers the perfect reference guide for these know-hows—plus loads of other tips for improving your life—in The Little Book of Life Hacks: How to Make Your Life Happier, Healthier, and More Beautiful. Complete with Yumi’s unique hand-drawn illustrations accompanying every clever tip, The Little Book of Life Hacks will having you living easier in no time.

Yumi divides her everyday survival guide into seven sections: DIY Beautiful; Staying Runway Ready; Design your Dream Pad; Domestic Diva; Feed Yourself; Social Butterfly; and Love Your Body, Love Your Mind. Tips and tricks run the gamut from looking and feeling better to streamlining your home life and creating fun DIY projects that can brighten your space. Inspired by her popular “Secret Yumiverse” tips originally posted on WonderHowTo.com, some of Yumi’s practical + fun life hacks include:

  •  How to do a workout at home without a gym membership
  • Weird tricks to outsmart your bad mood
  • 12 awesome kitchen hacks for your next cooking adventure
  • How to clean your dry-clean clothes without going to the dry cleaner
  • 5 DIY treatments for your bad hair days
