Real Simple Solutions resolves life's little complexities - and allays the stress that accompanies them. The book is full of ideas that are smart, surprising, and easy to do - and that, perhaps best of all, cost little or no money. Readers are guaranteed timeless, rock-solid information and advice, whether it's step-by-step directions for hand-washing delicates, a soup-to-nuts list of pantry essentials, or new uses for household items. Inspired by the magazine's perennially popular Simple Solutions section, the book logically organizes ideas by activity and presents each chapter in a consistent. clear, and artful fashion. Page after page, Real Simple Solutions features: quick, low-cost ways to elevate the ordinary or unexpected, from dinnertime meals to bedroom decor; new uses for everyday items, such as emery boards, baking soda, and old beach towels; and, simple instructions for doing common - but often difficult tasks, like painting a room or carving a turkey.
