Value Found in this Book - ZERO September 29, 2009
M. Bruner (Oklahoma!)
This is a companion book to "What's Age Got To Do With It?" but it doesn't add to the wealth of new knowledge. There are nine chapters that cover the totality of wellness. The topics were: nutrition, fitness, skin care, hormones, hair, makeup, fashion, and faith. There isn't much detail, no references to health studies, simple to-do list and check list that will confirm what you already know about yourself. Some of the suggestions are super simple and are from your 1st grade collage assignment (find hairstyles that you like, cut them out and paste them on a page in the book). Lastly, the chapter on faith asks two questions and provides 3 pages so that you can take notes. What does that teach me? The cost of the book ($10), cost of my time to read it ($45), value I received from the book - ZERO. Save your time and money because this book couldn't make over my dog.

picks up where most self help books stop September 20, 2009
Morganna Wolf (Portland, OR)
Reading how to make change happen and wanting to change is one thing. Being able to devleop concrete step by step plans on how to make that change happen is something else

Robin McGraw's gide book for What's Age Got to Do with It?: Living Your Healthiest and Happiest Life? Provides excellent structure to help make change happen. It provides a structure for looking at what is happening in your life today and how to informed plans to make change happen.

This book helps fill the gaps where most self help books fail.

Incomplete Makeover Guide September 10, 2009
Clementine Dare (Gilbert, Arizona, USA)
Robin McGraw's Complete Makeover Guide is a fill in the blank workbook companion to "What's Age Got To Do With It", unless you are buying these books as a set this is not a complete book. She continually references the WAGTDWI throughout her workbook.

I am not a nutritionist or a fashionista but I found errors in her advice. For beautiful hair she recommends eating carrots and spinach, adding that these are foods rich in protein and hair is 98% protein. Carrots are a protein rich food?

Her clothing essentials page for building a working wardrobe made me wonder if she just lost interest and wandered off while making the list. She suggests black dress, black shoes, black pants, white oxford, white silky shirt. If you want to add more pieces she suggests white slacks and grey slacks. That's it.

That made me laugh. In fairness, you can refer to the cover photo of her in her black pants and black shirt and take the liberty of adding "black blouse".

In terms of makeover books, not so good. Even as a workbook this was not good as it was bound like a book and the pages were small and the paper was not great quality. You would do better watching What Not To Wear and Oprah because both of those shows are more in-depth than this book.

Very helpful for self-evaluation September 6, 2009
YogaKat (Oregon United States)
I think this book could be helpful in that you will ask yourself some very basic questions about yourself that you may have simply overlooked in the past. The book is actually a workbook where you can write down your thoughts and comments. Journaling is a very effective way to look at who you are.

There is a companion book that is used throughout the workbook and highly recommended that you get her book too.

I agree with the other reviewer that Robin's statement about not eating nuts. Nuts are wonderful and so good for you, of course in moderation :o)

Not Much New Here August 29, 2009
Spudman (Pasadena, MD United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

For me the best thing about Robin McGraw's Complete Makeover Guide is the cover with its top to bottom photograph of the perfectly coiffed, attractive author. The reader sees a slim bodied woman on the cover with a figure, look, and presence that seems ideal. It might motivate readers to reach for the same perfection, the same confidence, the same look and figure. Go figure.
The book's unremarkable content is full of fill in lists, charts, to-do lists and check lists very similar to those in the Scholastic books many of the middle school girls in my classes used to favor. This "companion" to Ms. McGraw's "What's Age Got to Do With It", assigns readings in the aforementioned book to coincide with the workbook segments. This little book filled with tedious charts and plans contains advice gleaned from the author's experience and other expert sources. Neither Mrs. Spudman or I found anything noteworthy in this book. It's the same old, same old self-help mantra.

I find it scary that I could check off so many of the "going through the change" signs.
Things like :
My face is a mess.
I'm so exhausted.
Where's all that facial hair coming from?
I can't seem to concentrate.
Sometimes I skip a period (I find myself leaving out all kinds of punctuation marks these days.)
