Book SynopsisAdult life is full of mysteries. What should you check before renting a flat? How do you ask for a pay rise? Does anything really need to be dry cleaned? And why does everyone else seem to know these things except you? (They don’t, but this book will help.) Being an Adult is a practical and entertaining guide to the life skills you didn’t learn at school. If you've ever wondered when you’re going to become a ‘real’ grown-up, this book will give you the answers you need.Trade Review‘Oh, how I wish I’d had this book when I was twenty-one, I could’ve avoided so many stupid disasters. I love everything about this warm, funny life manual, it should honestly be required reading for humans everywhere. My favourites were the DIY and money section (because, frankly, I have no idea), and I thought the personal stories throughout were the perfect, relatable touch. Fascinating, insightful and so so helpful — without being patronising — Kat and Lucy are the heroes this generation desperately needs.’ -- Lucy Vine * Author of Hot Mess *‘It’s a practical guide interspersed with personal anecdotes … they’ve compiled the hottest know-how into one simple tome. From emergency DIY tips to dressing for the office, it’s the adult stuff you need to know.’ * Evening Standard *‘It gives you the life skills you should’ve been taught in school … And, crucially, it also gives you lowdowns on the serious stuff … The thing about Being an Adult is it covers everything … This book should be thrust into the hands of every graduating student as they walk across the stage.’ * Stylist *‘I can’t believe nobody had published this when I was twenty … it’s so thorough so obviously orchestrated by somebody who has actually experienced and still remembers the little niggling details that can really pull your confidence down or stress you out, and they’re the things that people assume that you know but you actually don’t. I think everybody needs [this].’ -- Leena Norms

Book Synopsis'A great guide to the many things you can do to reduce your plastic footprint.' - Craig Reucassel, ABC TV's War on Waste Where do you start if you want to reduce the plastic in your life? Especially when most of us are wearing it, eating and drinking from it, sitting on it, walking on it, and probably even ingesting it. Anywhere you go, plastic is within easy reach - even in Antarctica and the North Pole. We didn't quit plastic overnight. In fact, it's still a work in progress. But along the way, we have learnt a lot by researching the issue from the grass roots up, speaking to people, and finding out what works and what doesn't. We answer the tricky questions, like 'How will I wash my hair?', 'Do I have to give up crackers?', 'What about my bin liner?' and 'Is this going to be expensive?' As we continue to remove throw-away plastics from our daily lives, we've discovered we're friendlier with our local communities, we're eating healthier food, and de-cluttering happens by itself. It feels great!'The simple, practical tips in this inspiring guide will help you reduce plastic in your daily life and help the planet too - every little bit counts!' - Rebecca Prince-Ruiz, Plastic Free July FoundationTrade Review'This wonderful wee book is sure to inspire and educate you.
