Reviewed by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-winning author of This is the Place and Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered
Vitality by Jo Glanville-Blackburn is a lovely little gift book that delivers more than most.
It is important to know that Ms. Glanville-Blackburn is an expert in her field. Once the Beauty Director for Good Housekeeping Magazine (probably long after I worked in that same department), she is an expert. Remember, this is a magazine that tests the products it approves for advertising, so she is far more than a knowledgeable writer of all things healthy and beautiful.
Her expertise shows. She appreciates a quick beauty tip, a la any women's magazine worth its salt, but she also reveals why a tip works and how to make it work.
The beautiful photos were researched by Emily Westlake.
