Fabulous at Fifty and Beyond

Book excerpt: When Angela Rippon, one of the best-known faces and voices in British broadcasting, turned 50, she decided to regard it as a positive landmark. She realized she could gain wisdom without losing her zest for life and that she actually had more freedom and opportunities to indulge her passions than when she was younger. She also had the self-confidence to be herself. But to have the confidence to take advantage of all that life can offer after 50 requires a degree of good health and knowing how to present yourself. Here, Rippon offers advice on: the face; hair; eyes; lips and teeth; legs; feet; body matters; hands and nails; cosmetic surgery; exercise; menopause; supplements; things that can go wrong; and her top ten must haves.
