Glow Code

Readers seeking a "holistic, approachable guide to approaching middle age with verve" (Foreword Reviews) will appreciate this "comprehensive and chatty guide" (Publishers Weekly) with inspiring and practical advice to navigate aging well. When I was 41, I learned how to wash my face. Turns out I'd been doing it wrong. (Hint: ditch cleansing wipes!) This made me wonder what else I didn't know. Like: Cardio or weights? Why can't I sleep? Is there a trick to ordering good wine? Or buying art? I figured if I still had questions about how to adult and age like a superwoman, maybe you did too. The Glow Code provides all the answers you need to feel, look, and live better in midlife and beyond. Rich in advice from top scientists, psychologists, makeup artists, fitness and nutrition authorities, and others, this book offers strategies and tips for better fitness, friendships, sex, creative practices, and more. And to make sure it works, I've tested it all-with sometimes hilarious results. Fun, practical, and inspiring, The Glow Code is the manifesto to aging joyfully. For all of you with minimum free time but maximum ambition to rock this next stage of life, welcome to your cheat sheet.
