Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
Womanskills is like a know-it-all best-friend that you actually like. Inside, you'll find helpful techniques and tips for cooking, money matters, style, relationships, home improvement, and more. It can help you with advice for meeting the parents or choosing a wedding dress. You can turn to it when you get the itch to DIY a new wine rack or chalkboard wall. Or you can flip through to answer those nagging questions like, you know, "why do my houseplants keep dying?"
While you'll find plenty of woman-to-woman information (fitting a bra, dealing with blisters from your shoes, and plucking eyebrows to name a few), you'll also find skills not traditionally thought of as "girly," but nevertheless quite useful: learn how to grill a perfect steak, locate a stud in the wall, pick the perfect loan, or snake a drain. Whether you're headed to a birthday party and need to wrap that odd-shaped present in a hurry or you need a download on whiskey before book club, Womanskills has you covered.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
