ABOUT TOP TIPS

Every woman has a handy stash of top tips she's worked out for herself to make life easier. These are little tricks, learned by getting up in the morning and having to tame a rogue eyebrow. We do them almost unconsciously, but we all have our own arsenal, rarely thinking to share. (The answer to the eyebrow thing is hairspray on an old toothbrush.) Top Tips is a fabulous way of sharing our own hard-learned tips on everything from dating to technology.

Top Tips is an exceedingly practical, speedy resource, all tips are short and to the point, and there is no need to plough through interminable, irrelevant chat. Tips are rated by users, so the best are soon evident. (This modern response to age-old questions is also the ultimate desk-top procrastination tool.) Tips can be found either by a keyword search or by browsing by particular categories. Users can also ask advice from everyone visiting the site via, "Got a Problem?"

Top Tips is the ever-expanding bible of genuine advice, combining modern tips with the remembered fragments of our grandmothers' wisdom. All about the sisterhood, this is for women who actually like other women. Users are asked not just to take, but to leave something handy behind.

Top Tips harnesses the awesome power of pooled resources; it's like being in the bathroom at a party with millions of women, all of whom want to give you advice.

Top Tips was designed & built by Tangent Labs, and is owned and run by journalist Kate Reardon. With a lot of help from her mum.
