New Giveaway--For Baby Boomers!

Yup, I'm one of them, one of the many, one of those who was born during the Baby Boom. Like all the other Boomers, I've realized I'm not getting any younger--but in some ways I feel younger than what I am, I think because my kids are young. My high school class is on Facebook and people have been talking about grandkids. Well, I have no grandkids, and I do have an almost five year old. Anyway, if you are one of those Boomers who is fighting aging tooth and nail you will want to register for this giveaway. I have two books so what I'm going to do is ask you to leave a comment saying which book you want to win. If you want to win either one, then leave two comments. Hatchette has said they'd give away five copies of each book, so I'll draw at least ten names. What are these books?

BOBBI BROWN LIVING BEAUTY
By Bobbi Brown with Marie Clare Katigbak

Bobbi Brown began the trend toward natural-looking cosmetics with a simple philosophy: Women want to look and feel like themselves, only prettier and more confident. Today, top editors at elite fashion magazines--including In Style, Vogue, Allure, and Harpers Bazaar--revere her, and celebrities and millions of regular women throughout the world swear by her beauty advice. Now Bobbi Brown has written THE book redefining beauty for women over 40, BOBBI BROWN LIVING BEAUTY. In this refreshing look at beauty and aging, Bobbi offers specific makeup tricks for a stunning face--showing how makeup can solve most of the flaws that many women go under the knife to fix. In fact, the right makeup can create an even skin tone, lift the cheeks, plump a smile...even take years off any woman's face. The key is to use makeup to enhance each woman's best features and showcase her natural beauty. With step-by-step makeup instructions and quotes from beautiful women like Marcia Gay Harden, Vera Wang, Susan Sarandon, and Lorraine Bracco, Bobbi Browns natural, celebratory approach to aging will enlighten and inspire women everywhere.

    My anti-aging tip - Always try to have an upbeat and youthful attitude! I like the word older but not old so I think of myself and older women as older, but never old!

  20. My tip is to always put on a moisturizer with spf15 to protect your face. Even a little bit of sun exposure can cause damage. I would choose the How Not to Look Old book. Thanks
