March 15, at 9: March 19, at 3: March 19, at 5: I made cakes and pies with my mom but never beauty stuff. That would have been fun! Instead I had a very smart young lady who wanted to learn and share that with others. Hey, I can't complain about that. But finally while she is now in college we get to bond with our beauty habits.

Even though the book Bonding over Beauty was meant to help a mom and her tween bond and learn, I am finding use for it now. We both have lea You see my College Girl never did like the beauty thing. We both have learned how to use different hair styling tools. I mean things have changed since I was a teen. Back then a blow dryer and hot rollers were the limit. Now there are irons to make hair straight, curly or kinky. Gosh where to begin. Also I finally found out the secrets to plucking my brows and not crying through the whole thing. I still prefer wax but oh no, not for College Girl.

She appeared in over commercials, print ads, films and interned in the beauty department at Seventeen magazine. Jun 17, Stephanie rated it did not like it. This book was a huge disappointment. I read a review in a magazine that recommended this book as a way to stay connected with your daughter, to build self-confidence etc, and that it was not a beauty guide.

Seriously it was a complete waste of time.

Once I realized how superficial and condescending it was, I just skimmed it to make sure that I wasn't missing something valuable. I get the idea of spending time with my daughter but I can think of a whole host of other ways to do it, and I think that I am modern enough to understand the importance of self-esteem in my daughter and the tools and products available today.

This book gave me many great ideas, and plenty to think about. While I rarely took the author's advice to a "T", there were many similar options I have now incorporated into my nightly routine with my daughter. I think the best part of this book is the gentle reminder that you only have one shot to enjoy the time your daughter is growing into a young lady, and you should find ways to be a part of it, rather than struggle against it. Apr 29, Kari Gibson rated it it was amazing. Every mom of a daughter needs this book!

While on the surface, this seems like a beauty book, but it is so much more than that. It is really a book about creating a great relationship with your daughter.

My mother was and still is a great beauty and she created the tradition of beauty days when I was growing up. Think about it- did your dad know how to tell you which makeup to buy?

We've always painted our nails together but this past weekend we tried the face mask recipe in the book and she thought that was hilarious and fun.

It actually changed how I parent my daughter. Each chapter has so much vital information. But, it is written so beautifully, I literally read it in 3 days. I highly recommend this book!
