LIFE IS A MOVIE STARRING YOU
by Jennifer Brandt

This de-lovely little book, published in 2000 is geared more at the tween/teen age group, but the principles are adaptable for women of all ages. It is a guide to being the star of your own life; and if you know anything about movies, having the right cast, wardrobe, lighting, script, leading man, musical score and director makes all the difference in the world. The last thing you want to be is an "extra" instead of the star of your own life! I being a woman of ... well lets just say I have afternoon tea with the cougar collective (lol) have immensely enjoyed reading through it and re-connecting with my girly-girl side. Being a vintage enthusiast myself, I could appreciate her celebration of the vintage lifestyle with a modern twist. This book works more like a workbook  requiring your active participation so get your favorite glitter pen , cut outs from your favorite fashion magazine, and your most fashionable thinking hat (not cap dahhling!) and dig in and see if you don't get in touch with your inner teenager as you read through it. You can pick up a copy  for a song on Amazon and if you have a teenage daughter or niece get an extra copy and make a date to go through it together. Happy reading!

New Year Greetings!


NEW YEAR GREETINGS

I hope 2011 will be your best year ever!!
