Product Description

Product Description

Sooner or later, it happens to everyone: getting older. Some do it gracefully, others less so, but no one is immune to wrinkles and grey hair creeping up, seemingly overnight. And once they're there, they're hard to shift. Helena Frith Powell, fashion and lifestyle journalist extraordinaire, didn't even want to think about surrender. Surely, something could be done about advancing age? Armed with potions, lotions and pills (as well as resorting to a few much more extreme measures), she sets out to investigate any and all anti-aging tricks out there. From green tea and botox to yoga and exfoliating masks, "To Hell in High Heels" is the hilariously funny tale of one woman taking on the body clock, giving you a tried-and-tested survival guide for that ill-fated moment when the first wrinkle dares show its face.


About the Author

Helena Frith Powell is a regular contributor to the Sunday Times, where she writes the 'French Mistress' column, as well as the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph. She lives with her husband and their three children in the Languedoc region of southern France.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and Informative; yoga will never be the same again!, 2 April 2008
By Sam Allenby (Toulouse, France) - See all my reviews
  
I ordered this book because I love her blog and thoroughly enjoyed her other books especially Two Lipsticks and a Lover. While that dealt with Frenchwomen and how to look like and act one, this one is all about how to stay young-looking. The author has behaved rather like a method actor getting herself into all sorts of strange situations in her quest for eternal youth but comes out the other end (relatively) unscathed. This is a kind of 'everything you wanted to know about ageing but were afraid to ask' book. If you want to know how to avoid looking like an old crow without having to test everything yourself then this is the book for you. The information is accessible and as with Two Lipsticks and a Lover the author has managed to keep her sense of humour throughout. A very funny and informative read.

5.0 out of 5 stars An honest and witty account about being a "certain age" !!, 15 Jul 2008
By Lee Lloyd "Lee" (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
I ordered this, received it and read it cover to cover within a day and a half. What a great book! Aimed at those ladies who have woken up one day and realised that they have entered the "twilight" zone of no longer being young and not yet being old but just starting to see those dreaded signs of ageing creeping in....

Helen Frith-Powell gives a very informative, witty and honest account of various anti-ageing products and treatments out there...some useful, some scary and some downright mad! In the name of journalism and for the greater good of woman-kind (yeah, right Helena!), she undergoes several treatments and procedures herself with varying degrees of success. I particularly enjoyed her account of those treatments where she knew her husband would kill her when he found out but went ahead and did them anyway!!

There were also some very insightful remarks made by Helena about attitudes to ageing, which I'm sure most women would relate to and a few cautionary tales about how easy it is to take things too far and when to stop.

Okay, so this book is aimed at middle/upper class ladies in their 40's who have money to spend but so what? In these dreary times of credit crunches, belt tightening and general doom and gloom, it was a most enjoyable, funny and refreshing read.

As a 43 lady myself, I take my hat off to Helena for not wanting to "give up" just because she's getting older. Let's make the best of ourselves every day, after all, you're a long time dead....

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book!, 21 April 2008
By K. Denton - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. It's a very well-researched guide to the full range of anti-ageing treatments on the market as the author travels the globe in her quest to bring the reader the best information in the fight against ageing. I found myself laughing out loud whilst reading this as it is highly amusing as well as being an uplifting read. The author's trademark warmth and humour run throughout this book and, like her earlier books, it is not to be missed.
