The Art of Being a Woman: A Simple Guide to Everyday Love and Laughter
It takes a great woman to spot greatness in other women. Have a good laugh at your own expense Discover how completely happy you are in your own skin. Such experiences, says Véronique Vienne, are expressions of the art of being a woman. In this gem of a book, Vienne gently guides women of all ages and cultures through the practical– and a few rather more whimsical– lessons in the art of womanhood and in the joy of loving life as only a woman can. Along the way, she imparts unique gifts of wisdom such as: • An alert mind is the most eye-catching feature of a face. • Smart compliments can improve the way you look as much as beauty products. • Paying more to eat less is counterintuitive, yet it is the best diet around. • Fashion is a nonsurgical nip-and-tuck technique. • Female camaraderie keeps you healthy. • Men should be given the benefit of the doubt (because they truly need it). With its spirited prose and witty illustrations, The Art of Being a Woman informs and celebrates the many ways we all can release our insecurities, count our blessings, and experience what the French call “joie de vivre,” a lively tryst between heart and mind..

The Art of Growing Up: Simple Ways to Be Yourself at Last
As the old hair-coloring commercials used to say, you're not getting older, you're getting better. In this sophisticated little picture book, Véronique Vienne, bestselling author of ( The Art of Doing Nothing and The Art of Imperfection) and a feature writer for magazines such as Martha Stewart Living and Redbook, contends that growing up doesn't simply mean you're not getting younger anymore; it means you're finally at the point in life where the real fun begins. After all, Julia Child didn't write her first bestselling cookbook until she was 49, Harry Truman wasn't elected to national office until he was 50, and Paul Cezanne didn't have a major exhibit of his paintings until he was 65. The "second part of your life is second to none," she writes, and the best is yet to come. In 10 essays complemented by 25 duotone photographs, Vienne advises us to begin anew by throwing away old things ("outgrowing is part of growing up"), letting go of what's become obsolete, and reinventing adulthood ("become the kind of grown-up who makes young people wish they were pushing 40, 50 or even 60"). In short, get comfortable in your skin, with your intelligence, with your soul. The message is: growing up has little do with age--and everything to do with making your life easier, happier, and more fun. No doubt, this savvy little gift book will get lucky recipients on the right track. --Nancy Monson.
