Not every teenage girl will win the Miss America contest or become a famous movie star, but most teens and young women do have one thing in common - they want to feel beautiful! Women of all ages spend countless hours and hundreds of dollars on beauty magazines and products in order to achieve that special look. They experiment. They laugh. They cry. They have moments of brilliance and longer moments of frustration. And then they do it all over again.

Sound familiar? Well, Sharon Lynn's new book, "Teen2Queen in 3-5 Minutes… A Crash Course on Make-up, Hair, and Nails" is designed to break that cycle. In a humorous yet sensitive way, the author builds the confidence of her youthful readers as she shares her advice on make-up, hair, and nails. Whether you are a tomboy, plain Jane, prom queen, or cheerleader, this book can help you reach your beauty goals.

The transformation from average teen to beauty queen shouldn't take an enormous amount of time or effort. Sharon Lynn tells how you can do it if you focus on six major success factors:

1. Be honest with yourself and accept what you cannot change
2. Maintain a positive attitude and don't put yourself down
3. Keep an open mind and be open to suggestion
4. Maximize your best qualities
5. Buy a good set of tools
6. Relax, have fun, and practice the proper techniques

Looking beautiful isn't rocket science. Just follow the tips and step-by-step techniques in "Teen2Queen in 3-5 Minutes...", and let your inner and outer beauty shine through. As Sharon Lynn would say, "Chill out! You can do it!"
