Like most women over 40, I loved Life Love and What I Wore by Ilene Beckerman. I went to the play with Jackie of Aging Backwards, and we laughed and teared up for a solid two hours. This weekend I found a another book by Ilene and as usual she hit home. Makeovers at the Beauty Counter of Happiness is focused on her feeling about an upcoming 50th Elementary School Reunion. Since we went to the same elementary school, I was hooked, but I’m certain her thoughts and experiences are pretty universal. In preparation for the reunion she thinks about losing twenty pounds, visits too many make-up counters and writes letters ( unsent) to famous women asking for beauty advice. It should be required reading for any women facing a reunion. Do you have a reunion anecdote? I’ll ‘share mine if you share yours.

Oh sweetie, I’m Ilene Beckerman and so happy you like my books.
Buy lots. And never give up being beautiful. I’ll be 77 in June and

How lovely to hear from you Ilene. ” Love, Loss and What I Wore” is actually my go-to birthday gift for friends. I’m so pleased now to find” Makeover at the Beauty Counter of Happiness” for a follow-up gift. I still haven’t found the perfect mascars, but I have discovered an eyeliner that doesn’t turn me Goth.
