Packed with honest, funny, and comforting advice--"a book you MUST read if you are returning to work after the birth of a child.... I loved it and you will too." --New York Times bestselling author Lois P. Frankel, Ph.D.

-The boss-approved way to ask for flextime (and more money!)

-Your new sixty-second get-out-of-the-house beauty routine
-How to turn your commute into a mini-therapy session
