Charlize "Charlie" Edwards certainly knows, in theory, what it takes to lead a successful and happy life. She owns a nice house in Silverlake, LA's trendiest neighborhood. She has glamorous and loyal friends who accompany her to the hottest clubs in town. And she works as the personal assistant to Drew Stanton, Hollywood's sexiest movie star. But she's also turning 30, chronically single, and faced with serving as maid of honor at her younger sister's wedding. Charlie finds herself struggling to juggle the chaos of wedding planning (while wondering if she'll ever wear the white dress herself), her all-consuming job for lunatic boss Stanton, and a serious crush on Jordan, a photographer on the set of Drew's latest feature--a man who might actually return her feelings. A page-turner from start to finish, A Total Waste of Makeup puts a fresh face on women's fiction.

Charlize "Charlie" Edwards finally has it all: a house in Silverlake, L.A.'s hippest neighborhood, two fabulous best friends who always have her back, and a great (though hectic) job as the personal assistant to Hollywood's hottest movie star, Drew Stanton. But best of all, Charlie has a newly feathered love nest with Jordan, the sexy photographer she recently started dating. Maybe Charlie's journal of smart-alecky life advice—which she's always been better at writing than following—has finally helped put her on the right track. Unfortunately for Charlie, Drew is causing complete havoc on his new movie set, her eccentric family is descending upon L.A. for the upcoming holiday season, and her love life may be back to square one. Jordan has left L.A. to work on a film shooting in Paris, where the women are gorgeous, sophisticated, and possibly after her man. And Drew's handsome new producer, Liam, is an old crush who has reappeared to tug at Charlie's heartstrings. Charlie's torn between the misery of waiting for Jordan and the tingly feelings she has for Liam. But there's nothing misery—or seduction—loves better than a great glass of cabernet.

After listening to her closest friends' latest travails in love, parenting, and careers, superstitious bride-to-be Nicole (Nic) believes she has the perfect recipe for everyone's happiness: a bridal shower "cake pull" in which each ribboned silver charm planted in her cake will bring its recipient the magical assistance she needs to change her destiny. Melissa (Mel), still ringless after dating the same man for six years, deserves the engagement ring charm. The red hot chili pepper would be perfect for Seema, who is in love with her best male friend Scott, but can't seem to make their relationship more than platonic. And recently laid off journalist Nic wants the shovel, which symbolizes hard work, to help her get her career back on track.

But when the charmed cake is mysteriously shifted from the place settings Nic arranged around it, no one gets the charm she chose for them. And when the other party guests' fortunes begin coming true, Mel, Seema, and Nic can't help but wonder.... Is the cake trying to tell them something?

When it comes to public health, economic, conservation, engineering, aesthetic, and the other environmental factors, solid waste management is the field that deals with the regulation of the solid waste creation, collection, storage, transit or transfer, processing, and disposal. Planning, administration, finances, engineering, and legal aspects are all part of the solid waste management process. Complex interrelations across disciplines like public health, city as well as regional planning, politics, geography, economics, sociology, communication and conservation, demographics, engineering, and material sciences may be required to find effective solutions. It's very uncommon for the residential as well as industrial producers, urban and rural locations, and developed but also developing countries to use distinctly different approaches to solid waste management. In populated regions, it is the responsibility of local governments to manage garbage that poses no danger to human health. However, hazardous waste management is normally the duty of the waste generator and is regulated by regional, national, and even worldwide bodies. Solid waste management's fundamental objective is to lessen or eliminate trash's negative effects on people and the planet in order to promote progress in these areas and a higher standard of living. All of this should be carried out as economically and waste-free as is humanly feasible. The best practises for environmental protection need a methodical approach to managing solid waste regardless of its source, composition, or possible hazards. Environmental planning should include solid waste management since it is essential to maintaining a clean environment
