Book Review: Tips and Tricks for Everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was great. I learned some interesting tricks and I love that the author encourages you to find your own. Some of the tips made me slap my forehead, I felt so dumb for not thinking of them before.
Summary of Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan
Japan has a way of thinking that is just . . . different. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Tokyo-born journalist Lisa Katayama's collection of urawaza (a Japanese word for secret lifestyle tricks and techniques). Want to turbocharge your sled? Spray the bottom with nonstick cooking spray. Can't find someone to water your plants while you're away? Place the plant on a water-soaked diaper, so it slowly absorbs water over time. The subject of popular TV shows and numerous books in Japan, these unusually clever solutions to everyday problems have never before been published in English until now! Urawaza collects more than 100 once-secret tricks, offering step-by-step directions and explanations in an eye-catching package as unconventional as its contents.Reference Books
