Pampering means caretaking, indulging, and making yourself feel good, and it's your right to be pampered whenever you need it-any time, day or night. In 2,001 Ways to Pamper Yourself, Lorraine Bodger offers hundreds and hundreds of serious and lighthearted tips for treating yourself royally, from the sublime to the maybe-it's-silly-but-it-makes-me-feel-good ridiculous. You'll get such advice as: * Take a scented bath by candlelight. * Visit a comedy club and laugh till you fall out of your chair. * Hire someone to wash your windows. * Get rid of every item of clothing that doesn't look great on you. * Eat peanut butter straight from the jar. * Take a day off during the week. * Stay in bed and do nothing. * Throw a tantrum. * Have dessert first. * Sit in a sculpture garden and meditate. * Bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies and keep them all for yourself. * Swim out as far as you can and look back at the shore. See how small your problems are. Through Bodger's insightful wit and wisdom, you'll remember that you're someone special, a person who deserves to be well taken care of. So go ahead-pamper yourself.

Every mother will want a copy to give to her daughter; every daughter will want one for her mother. Without a doubt, the bond between mothers and daughters is indestructible. Through every milestone event, every crisis, every joy, mothers and daughters are there for each other, even when they don't always see eye to eye. What daughter hasn't exclaimed in dismay, "Oh no, I sound just like my mother!" And what mother hasn't shouted in frustration, "Just you wait until you're a mother. Then you'll understand!" Both mothers and daughters will smile as they recognize the moments in this book: * That sooner or later you're going to turn into your mother. It's destiny. * How consistently your maternal advice ricochets off the wall of your teenaged daughter's disdain. * That sometimes it's not too clear who's the mother and who's the daughter here. * Guilt, guilt, and more guilt. Both sassy and sweet, I'm Happy If You're Happy is a gift to mothers and daughters that says, "I get you, and you get me. And I always will."
