Iridescent and independent, Mermaid is the soul of the party, the leader of the rebellion and the queen of the ocean. If she takes a tumble she'll pick herself up unaided. She cries at commercials but laughs through rollercoasters. She's partial to rule breaking, but only because they're out-dated, unfair and so not fun. Free-spirited, thrill seeking and fun loving, Mermaid is an inspiration.A little book that packs a big punch, with motivational sayings and colorful, characterful drawings of the sea-queen herself. Be a Mermaid is a great gift for friends who need reminding of their inner mermaid, as well as a must-have addition for anyone who needs to regain the power.

Doodle yourself into a style icon.Have you noticed how what you do in a day has quite a lot to do with what you're wearing? You forget your glasses, you miss the bus. You wear lucky underpants and suddenly everything goes your way. Not everyone wants their journal to be about feelings and bad poetry, so start scribbling about what you wore and sum up in a flash what it is to be you. Let your imagination run wild. Use our little mannequin to sketch yourself in a flash and fill in the blanks about the day - its highs, its lows, and what you've been up to. You can design your ideal fashion items, from shoes to umbrellas, so you can be as creative with your style as you like. Use the additional wish list for your notes, pictures, cut-outs - stick in or write down whatever your heart desires. No self-respecting girl should be without one!

Some beards are bushy, others are peach-fuzzy. Some are distinguished, others are scruffy. Some beards inspire love and trust (Santa's); others evoke fear and loathing (Satan's). Abe Lincoln's beard connotes patriotic devotion; Shakespeare's stands for artistic brilliance. But no matter who their wearer or what their shape, all beards have one thing in common: Crumbs get stuck in them.With facial adornments back in fashion (anointing the wearer with a veneer of virility and intellectual prowess) men of all ages will want to consider the choices presented in this useful little book.Inside are 40 different whiskery embellishments plucked from the broad beard spectrum, including (to name just a few) the French Fork, the Soul Patch, the Chin Puff, and the Fu Manchu.The Little Book of Beards lets you know what each style says about you as a person, and identifies which styles will make women fall at your feet- and which might just make them run for the hills.

Feisty and passionate he's no back seat driver, always bursting with ideas, from how to break the ice at parties, to how to tickle a fish. And when all around is in meltdown, he'll stay in control and bounce back with a cool head and a calm heart.

Mermaid is happy in her own fins. She is fiercely independent and is just as happy taking herself out for dinner as she is on a night out with the squad.

So let Mermaid guide you through the trials and tribulations of real girl power and you can be sure she'll always have your back. Be a Mermaid is a great gift for friends who need reminding of their inner mermaid, as well as a must-have addition for anyone who needs to regain the power.
