My Boyfriend Barfed in My Handbag... and Other Things You Can't Ask Martha Paperback - 2014

by Jolie Kerr


Summary

"Jolie Kerr really cuts through the grease and grime with her new book. I do what she tells me to do." —Amy Sedaris
 
The author of the hit column “Ask a Clean Person” offers a hilarious and practical guide to cleaning up life’s little emergencies
 
Life is filled with spills, odors, and those oh-so embarrassing stains you just can’t tell your parents about. And let’s be honest: no one is going to ask Martha Stewart what to do when your boyfriend barfs in your handbag.
 
Thankfully, Jolie Kerr has both staggering cleaning knowledge and a sense of humor. With signature sass and straight talk, Jolie takes on questions ranging from the basic—how do I use a mop? —to the esoteric—what should I do when bottles of homebrewed ginger beer explode in my kitchen? My Boyfriend Barfed in My Handbag proves that even the most nightmarish cleaning conundrums can be solved with a smile, the right supplies, and a little music.

From the publisher

Jolie Kerr is a Boston native and graduate of Barnard College, now residing in a teeny, tiny, spotless apartment in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
