A reviewer, someone who reads books to the end., 01/19/2007
A guide to women 40 to be prepared 40 tp act on it
I really think that the media is palying up to the young and skinny and most of
the time even the models are in their early teens and makes women think that is
the way to go. The book really gives good guideline, one does not have to follow
it all, take is with a pinch of ones's own salt and your own lifestyle. I liked
it and it was a good read and informative.
I brought this book out on New Years Eve while the guys were watching football.
It was a hit! We loved the pages on the fashion with the don't's getting a few
good chuckles. The book is easy to read being perfect for a quick 5 minute
looksie or as I have done, waiting for my nails to dry or coloring my hair. It
is so nice to read a fashion and beauty book that focuses on women over the age
of 40 instead skinny, long-haired, blue eyeshadow with glitter looking at me
from glossy pages. This is a real book for real women that are not perfect. An
essential for any female who wants to look classy, but not Betty Crockerish.

Like a chat with your grown-up girl friends
I like this book. Christine Schwab is like one of your grown-up girlfriends,
except her work IS style. Through real world and celebrity examples, the big
picture of looking your best is revealed. Is it annoying, for instance, to have
someone say that sleeveless tops are not a good choice for grown-up girls' arms?
Perhaps, to some. But a lot of us have already figured out what's not looking as
good as it once was, and just needed some confirmation of our worst fears, as
well as ideas for how to work around it!
I've already passed this book on to my best grown-up girl friend, and I'm sure,
once she's finished it, we'll have plenty to chat about |
