Very Classy by Derek Blasberg

I recently read an article on HuffPost on all these really cool unconventional proven health benefits that can come from reading. Now, we all know that reading is good for you for a couple simple reasons like, it broadens your vocabulary, it can open up your world views and it even makes you a little bit more cultured. But somehow, in-between leisurely reading and high school and college mandatory reading lists, reading got a bit of a bad rap. But here's the thing, just because reading is healthy and comes with great benefits, it doesn't always have to be as tedious as some people make it our to be (or as tedious as it felt back when you were school). Reading can be so much fun as long as you find a book that YOU like and YOU'RE interested in.

Now, I love reading great Classic Novels and the latest Mystery/Thriller/Suspense book, but sometimes it's really fun to just be able to pick up a book that's easy to read, doesn't have any sort of chronology or 'rules'. You know, the kind of book you can just pick up at anytime, open any page, and just start reading.

I'm not sure what category these kind of books would fall into, but these are one of my all-time favorites. I love gifting them and recommending them to my friends and family because you can never go wrong with these, they're just the type of books that are enjoyed by EVERYONE!

One of my favorites, or rather two of them, are:
Classy by Derek Blasberg & Very Classy (which is the expanded edition of the former)

It's a 'collection of humorous essays covering etiquette and social behavior' as Blasberg writes. But it's also much more than that, besides the fact that its entertaining, funny, and really easy to read, it's also really inspiring, encouraging and informative!

With tips on how to Throw a Party, Decorate, Look for Love and Stay Healthy, it's the perfect Beauty, Life, and Style guide for all Y-Gen Yuppies!
