Most self-improvement and DIY books ask you to focus on your flaws and then change yourself and your life in order to fix them. In Whateverland, Alexis and Jennifer confess that we all have imperfections and insecurities, and they argue--with wit and irony--that we need to accept ourselves the way we are. Yes, we can improve, but we don't need to aim for perfection. Our flubs don't have to get in the way of our happiness, and yes, they can be funny. In Whateverland, Alexis and Jennifer share their shocking life experiences, deep and dark personality quirks, and exuberant gossip. You'll read about the time Jennifer clogged Martha Stewart's pristine toilet, what happened when Alexis's pants came undone in a crowded restaurant, and much more. The Whateverland women share practical advice for every area of your life, including getting over the mistakes your parents made, starting over when you mess up on a new diet, and fun things to do with your underwear when you're on a date.You'll read Alexis and Jennifer's rules on dating and home decor. Illustrated throughout with photos from the authors' personal collections, Whateverland also includes simple, elegant, and delicious recipes. Whatever you struggle with--bad hair, an unhappy childhood, or not-the-best cooking and "homekeeping" skills--the real-deal wisdom of Alexis and Jennifer will help you see that it's totally okay not to be perfect at home, at work, and in your relationships. Once you level with yourself and lighten up, life can be happier and a hell of a lot more fun. This is definitely not your mother's self-help book. Whatever!
