5 BOOKS EVERY BLNDN BABE NEEDS ON HER BOOKSHELF

One of our favorite bloggers and fellow San Diegan, Lauryn Everts, talked recently on The Skinny Confidential about her struggle to fall asleep at a decent hour, and claims that she owes part of her success by her new self-imposed rule of reading in bed. "A hardcover or paperback- no electronics," she explains. " It’s nice to get into bed & shut off. A real book IS AMAZING. I’m in love with the smell of books anyways."

 

Recent studies have also found that those who sleep soundly have hair and nails that grow faster and stronger. Which got us thinking... when's the last time we found a really great book that we loved? Heck...if it works for Lauryn, we're down to try it!

 

Here are our top must-have books for every BLNDN babe.

Girl Boss: Sophia Amoruso

She's the founder, CEO, and creative director of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus online fashion retailer with more than 350 employees. But she wasn't always a girl boss; author Sophia Amoruso spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and dumpster diving. By 22, she had resigned herself to employment, but was still broke, directionless, and working a mediocre day job she’d taken for the health insurance... all before the fateful decision to begin selling her vintage clothes on eBay. As Sophia writes, “I have three pieces of advice I want you to remember: Don’t ever grow up. Don’t become a bore. Don’t let The Man get to you. OK? Cool.  Then let’s do this."

 

The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now: Meg Jay

Our "thirty-is-the-new-twenty" culture tells us the twentysomething years don't matter.

The Defining Decade is the wise word of making the most of our most vulnerable, exciting, and important years.
