About You
Life's Too Short To...

Life is just too damn short to spend stressing about the minor things. Inspired by the release of the gorgeous new Life's too Short to Frost a Cupcake novel by Rosie Wilde, we've come up with 20 habits we believe you should no longer waste your time on!

From ditching that no good man to ditching your insecurities, read on to find out how you can free up your life for the better! Plus we've also copies four copies of Life's too Short to Frost a Cupcake to give away! Read on to find out how you can get in the draw...

1: Not wear your quirky new shoes because you're worried what people might think.

2: Wait for the 'perfect time' to have kids. The stars won't magically align!

3: Freak out about red wine and your new carpet... Life is for living and stains won't kill you.

4: Care about what other people think. The approval of others is a seriously overrated concept!

5: Check your Blackberry all evening. Just because an email is there, doesn't mean you need to answer it. Leave the office at the front door.

6: Clean the bathroom religiously every weekend - if you get a better offer leave the old toothpaste stains for next week!

7: Say yes to everything. You may think you're being nice, but really you're just one step away from being a pushover.

8: Put up with a no-good-for-you-man. If he doesn't make you glow in every sense of the word then he's definitely not worth it.

9: Pass on dessert every time you go out. There's nothing wrong with a big slice of chocolate fudge cake every now and then - despite what the health nuts say.

10: Create excuses for not achieving the things you really want to do. Stalling your own dreams by putting up obstacles for yourself is tres not cool.

11: To tell your skinny friend with the figure that would be the envy of most models that no, her butt doesn’t look big in that dress. If she can't figure it out for herself that's her problem.

12: Go to the gym religiously at 5am. Sleep is one of life's pleasures don't under-rate it.

13: Be bored. You know what they say, only boring people get bored.

14: To obsess that your camel handbag is a slightly different hue to your camel boots - no one will notice but you.

15: To order the cheapest wine on the list. Come on shell out the extra $1.50 and have a glass you'll enjoy

16: Work till 7pm every night. Nuff said!

17: Wonder if he likes you and wait for him to ask you out. Just ask him...at least you'll know!

18: For friends you don't really like. Let's be honest, if you screen their calls, moan about them constantly and look for any excuse to avoid catching up it's time to drop the pretence of being 'buddies"

19: To leave the world's most perfect dress in the shop, just because you're worried you won't wear it enough. Some times you have to be frivolous.

20: To save your killer new heels for "best". Stomp around in them at work, you paid that much money for them, they make you feel like an Amazonian goddess, enjoy them before they go out of fashion!

Life's too short for many things but frosting cupcakes is one we always have time for! To win one of four copies of Life's too Short to Frost a Cupcake just tell us your 'Life's too Short' mantra.

Life's too Short to Frost a Cupcake is a great, laugh out loud, romantic comedy. Alice is a PA at a music company who is offered the opportunity of a lifetime to go and work in America from the New York office. What this actually means is she is sent to Ohio to persuade a recovering alcoholic musician, Wyatt Brown, to record the album he owes the company. Available now, $27.99 (Orion).
