In my opinion, here are some of Maria's best pieces of advice:
- Be friends with different types of people. It really impressed me that Maria doesn't just seek out the cool people of the world. She is willing to befriend a coffee shop clerk and even a carny. We truly shortchange ourselves when we only chose friends who have wealth, good looks, and exquisite breeding. To be blunt, that's a very superficial and snobby approach to your life and you need to grow up and let go of your middle school mentality and cattiness.
- Avoid the vampires in your life. Just like you would not allow a person to physically suck your blood, so why would you let someone suck out your valuable time, energy, and joy? Run for your life! Seek out friends who bring out the best in you and vice versa.
- Maria says one of the best products she uses for her skin is Colorscience Pro Primer. She says it's a line tamer and skin brightener. She first tried it in January and by April she had no zits. You can either google and find out where to buy it or you can buy it on Amazon. Word to the wise about Amazon, be sure to shop around for prices. Some of their vendors really charge ridiculous prices for their products.
- I love that she's frugal and thoughtful. She created a thank you letter book for her boyfriend's gift. She asked all of his closet friends to write a letter describing what he means to them. She put all the letters into a gorgeous scrapbook for him. She said he cried while reading the scrapbook and said it was the best gift he had ever received.
In summary, this book reminds me a modern day Dear Abby and provides tidbits of insightful advice.
