Giveaway - How Not to Look Old - Charla Krupp

I am thrilled to be hosting a giveaway for 5!! copies of How Not to Look Old by Charla Krupp, courtesy of the Hachette Book Group!

Synopsis from the publisher:

"How Not to Look Old the 15-week New York Times bestseller is now in paperback updated with over 150 new Brilliant Buys!Charla Krupp knows that aging sucks! So she's here to help. It's every woman's dream: looking hip, sexy, fresh, and pretty--whether you're in your 30's, 40's, 50's, or 60's. Now it's every woman's necessity: looking younger will help you hold onto your job and your partner--particularly when everyone around you seems half your age.

This giveaway is a bit different as I haven't had a chance to read and review it myself yet. I'm would love it if the winners would send their thoughts along once they've read it and I'll include those with my review.
