Book Review: The Handbook for Women Over 50

Ladies, I am a RoC Ambassador, which means share my experiences and I’m compensated to try RoC products. All opinions are my own.

I just finished reading”The Woman’s Wakeup: The Way To Shake Your Looks, Life, And Love After 50″ by Lois Joy Johnson. The book is a fast read, full of over 50 beauty hints and much more. And, while it is clear Johnson is catering to women over 50, much of the content is applicable for younger girls.

The Highlights

Johnson’s voice is lively and inspirational.

Decide on a page and you’re sure to find a quip that is quotable to remind you really can be cool and charismatic after 50.

Private stories abound.

This is not 1 woman’s tale. Johnson breaks up her own voice from her pals that are accomplished.

It is real.

Johnson tackles–and even celebrates–the stuff, such as divorce, online dating and melancholy.

She’s credible.

Johnson’s resume is impressive. She was founding editor of the beauty and style director along with MORE Magazine .

And the best part: the book is actionable.

Johnson supplies advice that you can implement now. Here are a couple of of Johnson’s gems to give you a flavor of what I mean by that.

Take care of your good shoes and bags like you take care of your skin. You know I promote the cost-per-wear outlook on purchasing clothing, right? This information fits right in with that approach. By keeping them clean and sterile, get nonstop mileage out of your favourite leather accessories.

The top closet essentials comprise a selection of long sleeves, a crisp white blouse, skinny jeans and a couple of light cardigans and pullovers.

Your attractiveness cupboard must have a low-cost wrinkle cream is effective.  Johnson’s clearly a fan of this RoC lineup, and references two of my favourite beauty products, RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Lotion and RoC Multi Correxion 5 in 1 Daily Moisturizer. I use both on the routine!

Never put on a suit. You’re not a CIA agent, right? Go for a apparel . Sheaths, changes and’fit and flare’ and A-line below) dresses should be your go-to.

Listen to yourself and the younger ladies around you. I got a chuckle out of this piece of advice:”Stop saying”I know I sound like a broken record” Yeah, you are dated by that , particularly when you’re around people who have never seen a record.

Are resume-writing, travel keeping and making friends, relationship, dressing for your body type, standing out and even surgery.

You can pick up a paper copy of The Woman’s Wakeup on Amazon, or receive the eBook.  I’d recommend grabbing a copy and using it as a handbook, with your pages tagged for simple reference.
