Handy resource for Baby Boomer women

This is definitely a start in the right direction for middle-aged women who want to make the most of their looks without giving up their authenticity. As you'd expect from Rodale Press, the tips included for beauty, health, and well-being are reasonable and accessible for most women in this age group. Specific product names (for cosmetics) are mentioned, too, which is a plus in this sort of beauty book -- and most of the products are affordable for most women, and even available at the drugstore.That said, I have to mention that I felt somewhat disappointed (perhaps even misled) by the glossy full-color promotional material that was sent to me before I purchased the book. The lovely color photos in the promotional booklet (showing real middle-aged women and health foods) led me to think that the book itself would be loaded with gorgeous color photos and features similar to the promo material. Not so.So -- I'd advise devoted readers of beauty books to note that this book is illustrated with sketches and line drawings -- NOT full color illustrations. Regardless, the book is still attrative, handy, and useful for anyone who feels "stuck" in their younger beauty routines and wants some fresh ideas appropriate to her age.
