Living Principal: Looking and Feeling Your Best at Every Age [Hardcover] Principal, Victoria

Product Description Victoria Principal, television star, bestselling author (The Body Principal, The Diet Principal, and The Beauty Principal), and entrepreneur, now shares with us, in the long-awaited Living Principal, her program for living youthfully and maturing healthfully. Having recently turned fifty, Victoria is the perfect spokesperson for women who want to feel and look their very best at every age. Her book can be used as a complete anti-aging plan, or each of the nine straightforward chapters can be used to meet specific goals or needs. Beginning with taking charge of your attitude and committing yourself to total mind-body health, Victoria outlines the need for routine and balance in your life. She offers a practical and easy-to-follow 30-Day Diet to Lose regimen with more than thirty-five recipes, an outline of the proper uses for vitamins and supplements, and an exercise plan incorporating tips on posture, pace, balance, and movement. Victoria is an expert on skin and hair care, and she offers women a tutorial not only in these familiar areas but also in two beauty essentials that are often overlooked eye and teeth care. She also prepares women for growing older gracefully (what she calls youthful maturity) by offering an in-depth guide to plastic surgery, understanding hormones, and staying sexy after fifty. Living Principal doesn't just concern itself with aesthetic beauty, though. Victoria encourages women to tend their souls, and explains how this can be accomplished with just Ten Minutes of Joy a day.

From Publishers Weekly After The Body Principal, The Beauty Principal and The Diet Principal, Victoria Principal is back with Living Principal: Looking and Feeling Your Best at Every Age, an earnest exhortation to greater mind-body health. It features not only skin-care tips and a 30-day diet with healthy yet indulgent recipes, including Steamed Snapper with Scallions and Ginger and Veal Piccata, but also "Practical Steps for Tending to Your Soul." The book concludes with a 30-day whole health plan, which includes Principal's recommendation that readers allow themselves "ten minutes of joy" each day. Though such suggestions may seem goofy, many of Principal's health and beauty tips are sound, and her book lacks the scolding tone found in so many women's magazines.
