Summary

If there is any virtue in advertising, and a journalist should be the last person to say that there is not, the American nation is rapidly reaching a state of physical efficiency the likes of which the world has probably not seen since the days of Sparta. In every American newspaper and every American monthly magazine there are countless illustrated advertisements for "physical culture specialists" who guarantee to make every organ of the body perform its duties with the mighty precision of a 60-hp car that never breaks down.

    A realistic guide to looking after yourself in your twenties and thirties, from the founders of the mega lifestyle brand, Keep It Cleaner. 
 
'This is the book we wish we'd been given when we hit our twenties. It's not about perfection; it's a realistic guide to finding love for yourself in your day-to-day, inspired by the incredible experts we've met and the lessons they've taught us.' 
 
When you hit your twenties and thirties, there's no blueprint for taking care of yourself while balancing all the things life throws at you. How do we become body confident in a world that focuses on our flaws? What's the secret to forging connections at work and at home while maintaining healthy boundaries? And how do we avoid falling prey to the anxieties and shame triggers that prevent us from experiencing joy? Add to that worrying about money and the bigger picture of our lives and it really can feel like too much. 
 
Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith are best friends and creators of the massive health and lifestyle brand Keep It Cleaner. You Take Care is their way of sharing their journeys with you - everything they've learnt about taking care of their mental health, bodies, and relationships with those around them, including thoughts on motherhood and a search for progress over perfection. No two journeys are the same, and there will always be bumps along the way. But this uplifting and friendly guide is like having a best friend in your pocket, cheering you on through it all.
