The perfect book for everyone struggling to adult. Like so many other Millennials, I was never taught some of the basics of housekeeping and often just failed at doing a good job. This book give helpful lists and clear illustrations for the very basics of housekeeping, from laundry to keeping a kitchen clean to other household needs. A great gift for graduates or to snag for yourself when you don't know where to start.

However, some readers may find that certain life skills are already familiar or may not align with their specific interests or needs. While the book covers a broad spectrum of topics, individual preferences and prior knowledge might influence the perceived value of certain sections.

A great book for gifting the new graduate or the newlywed who is just starting their own home. Basics for cleaning most everything.

Fun book that gives general tips and hacks for homemaking. A lot of it is common sense, but in today's world, common sense can be a rare commodity, so this book is great!

Thank you Netgalley and Adams Media for the ARC!

I would like to thank netgalley and Adams Media for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Some useful tips but a lot of it is just common sense.

This is a great guide to all kinds of general tips for your home and life hacks. From storage to cooking to home decor and everything in between, it provides great tips and hacks to make your life easier regardless of what aspect of your life you are working on.

This would make a wonderful housewarming gift for a first time home owner. Tons of useful information for a young person.

I find these type of books informative, useful and relaxing. This is full of useful ideas
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I enjoy BuzzFeed's information on recipes, so I thought I would check out this book. While I am pretty sure this book is meant for young adults, as a 40-something, I picked up a few new tricks and hacks.

This book covers everything from laundry, plant life, and kitchen hacks. This would be a great gift for a college student going out on their own for the first time.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review. This book gives some excellent tips (and hacks!) on how to get through some normal home situations. Such as, how to really fold a fitted sheet, or good ways to get stains out of a shirt. I really like how this book is split into different sections, from laundry to cleaning, to kitchen, to decorating. Fun to read, although I'm not sure how much use I would get out of it on a regular basis.

This book really is a great beginner to adulting book or a fantastic way to learn some things that you possibly didn't know in order to make adulting easier. Some things included very detailed instructions, others were vague, like the section that told us to know the signs of mice but not what the signs of mice were. Still, I took quite a few notes while reading this book and I think it is a fantastic book for anyone looking to make their home life more efficient or easier.

I chose this because it was Tasty Home. Good collection of life skills for a beginner, freshly married couple, or a young teenager interested in learning life skills. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC

I wanted to love this book but the tips mostly just felt like things I already knew or had heard somewhere before. I skimmed through quite a bit before I found anything that felt really helpful.

Definitely a great book to have around the house! Definitely had a good amount of tricks and tips that could come in handy. Would definitely buy for a college student or young adult who just moved into a new home! Hope to see Tasty do some more books! Loved their content back when they were on YouTube.

Tasty Home: Life Skills is an accessible and useful collection of tips and tricks for home and organization curated by the staff of Tasty Home on Buzzfeed and on their popular YouTube channel. Due out 7th Nov 2023 from Simon & Schuster on their Adams Media imprint, it's 176 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.

This is Tasty Home in print format. It's a collection of useful, interesting, and "oh, I never thought of that" tips and tricks for streamlining and learning skills, from sensible kitchen organization to sewing on a button. Many (possibly most) are things which folks of yesteryear either took for granted (clothes maintenance, since they didn't *have* duplicates) or weren't an issue at all (digital and electronics clutter).

The book is arranged in chapters of short, bite sized tips: cleaning & organizing, home decor & improvement, clothing & laundry, cooking & entertaining, beauty & wellness, and gardening & outdoors. There's also an index, to make specific tips easier to find. The info is arranged in paragraph length short entries, with several per page in each category. Many are quite sensible and potentially obvious, but many of them are ingenious, creative, and time saving.

It's well illustrated and full of colorful clear photography throughout. The writing style is upbeat and easily accessible.

Four stars. This would be a good public or school library acquisition, and a great "care package" moving out gift (bundled with cleaning supplies and housewares) to newly fledged young adults living on their own for the first time.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes

Tasty Home: Life Skills is a great resource for first-time homebuyers and those moving out for the first time.

Our household is familiar with the Tasty brand, particularly their popular YouTube channel, and cookbooks. The Life Skills book from Tasty turned out to be the perfect guide for us! The book contains short yet valuable tips on home repairs, cleaning, and organization. I would be willing to bet that the average person does not sanitize their cellphones or keyboards (or at least routinely). Tasty's new book can help you with that. What about that pile of junk sitting on the floor in your extra bedroom? The book lists items people often let pile up, which can significantly reduce clutter if organized properly. But it's not only about cleaning and organizing. Tasty Home: Life Skills also features sections on essential home improvement projects like patching holes, using a stud finder to hang that picture frame that's been leaning against the wall for months, and even an inventory list of what should be in your first toolbox.

Tasty Home: Life Skills is packed with tons of amazing tips and tricks that will help you learn some new skills. The book presents the information in a clean and minimalistic format, making it easy to reference quickly.

For those who find "adulting" overwhelming, here's a simple guide that will help you sort out the chaos that's your life. Tasty Home : Life Skills tells you what needs to be done in order to have a tidier home and take better care of yourselves.

The concept of this book really is interesting, since a lot of young adults don't know how to do basic household chores and often don't know where to begin. I liked the tone of voice that was fun (with some sarcasm here and there) and accessible to everyone (simple, clear instructions).
There are six main chapters, each one of them addresses a particular topic : Cleaning & organizing, home decor and improvement, clothing & laundry ...etc. I loved that each chapter provides a list of basic stuff to purchase in order to be properly equipped (Cleaning supplies, basic first aid supplies, safety items, cookware ...etc)

I found some chapters more useful and better organized than others. The first one, Cleaning & organizing, was interesting and provided super helpful checklists, but I didn’t find Home decor and improvement as good (a three line paragraph isn’t enough to convince me to try changing a broken tile !). In my opinion, the book would’ve been way more useful with more illustrated DIY’s, I only remember seeing a couple of them, most pictures looked like stock images that didn’t have any particular utility. It made me wonder why one would buy this book instead of watching Tasty videos really …

Thank you NetGalley and Tasty Home for giving me access to this e-ARC for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

I've read cookbooks by Tasty so I was intrigued to read Tasty Home. It included lots of tips that will definitely come in handy around the home. The layout is easy to follow and the pictures make it more enjoyable to read.

This seems like a good resource to have around the house, but I don't see myself sitting down to read it again. It's a great reference!
