“These busy women were all pleasantly surprised by how much joy and confidence they gained from building just a little more “me” time into their day – whether they were using that extra 2 minutes for meditation or makeup,” the editors of Women’s Day Magazine write in their how-to book, 7 Years Younger Instant Makeovers: The Quick & Easy Anti-Aging Plan for Beautiful Skin, Hair, Mind & Body.
This three hundred and thirty-six page hardbound targets women in their thirties to sixties who want to feel and look seven years younger. The book includes small to full page colored photographs along with nine color-coded chapters for easy use. An extensive appendix with a directory of experts and an alphabetical index complete the book.
Compiled results of a dozen female panelists from age thirty-six to sixty-four years old have tried and tested over one hundred mini-makeovers, giving before and after results in addition to their personal experiences.
The first five chapters concentrate on the hair, face, eyes, smile, and skin while the next four focus on diet, fitness, sleep, and stress. Each chapter lists several mini-makeovers, step-by-step instructions, tips, sidebars of trouble-shooting ideas, and quickie guides, besides “fix it fast” and “fix it so it lasts” remedies. Actual names of products and prices including where to purchase them are listed.
