Most people think that beauty revolves around such things as lipstick, sweet eyes, or skinny jeans -- all those things that we can see (and obsess over) in the mirror. But the fact is that beauty isn't some superficial pursuit, and it's not some random act that you can thank (or curse) your ancestors for.

There are, in fact, scientific standards to beauty. Beauty is purposeful, because it's how humans have historically communicated who we are to potential mates. Beauty, in fact, is really about your health and happiness.

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael F. Roizen and Dr. Mehmet C. Oz bust the myths and stereotypes about the way we view ourselves -- and how we define beauty. In these pages, you'll find out why beauty isn't as much about your vanity as it is about your humanity. The doctors take a scientific, informative, and entertaining look at the three levels of beauty and explain how they all work together to form a complete and authentic YOU. Those three levels of beauty are:

Looking Beautiful: Your appearance influences your self-esteem and has major health implications. Here, the docs will tell you how you can look the way you want.

Feeling Beautiful: So what if you have luscious lips or gorgeous locks if your joints creak and you have the energy of a rug? The docs will tell you how to improve your energy levels, beat back your life-altering aches and pains, and come to grips with some of life's toughest stresses.

Being Beautiful: By improving your relationships with your loved ones as well as with others, you'll be well on your way to finding true happiness. That's the ultimate goal: Having all three levels of beauty working together so you can have a happy and healthy life.

You'll start off by taking the ultra-revealing and validated YOU-Q Test to help you assess where you are on your own beauty scale and where you want to be. Take the test, see how well you do; then use the book to help you improve your score.

With their usual candor and honesty, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz break down the mechanics of beauty and explain how little adjustments in your routine can help you become a happier, healthier person. You will learn about the biology of beauty, take YOU Tests to determine where you are on the beauty scale, get tons of YOU Tips to help you improve your life, as well as learn the secrets of the Ultimate Beautiful Day.

From hair to toenails, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz go through every part of your body to explain how different foods, vitamins, creams, gels, and injections can really boost your looks. They scrutinize the beauty myths that bombard us every day and offer an unbiased perspective on which ones cause more harm than good. You will be able to revamp your beauty regimen (or start a new one from scratch). They'll also take a close look at chronic pain, mood swings, low energy, and financial stresses. And they'll dive into the science of building relationships, finding happiness, and using spirituality to help you define your own levels of true beauty.

Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz act as tour guides navigating the tricky but exciting terrain of today's beauty industry. "YOU: Being Beautiful" is your all-inclusive ticket into the world -- the real world -- of beauty.

Why not consider this before Botox? Its, simple effective and non invasive. Win Win. Do you want a healthy, toned, glowing wrinkle free complexion? Then you only need Fitface - the only "hands free" facial exercises system - it's like taking your face to an all natural beauty spa. Whatever your age, face exercise keeps your wrinkles away, in just 10 minutes a day. Nothing works better Wrinkles, grooves and folds form from doing the same repetitive expression which eventually becomes fixed. Working out your face, moves, unwinds, unravels and relaxes those tight tensed up muscles as well as all the other supporting tissue. Therefore no one muscle can dominate to pull down the superficial skin into a groove. Later after the glow, at rest and in your sleep the muscles and tissues will regenerate, rejuvenate, rebuild and pull out the grooves/wrinkles and tighten up your whole face. The extra nutrients and oxygen supplied to the face will make your skin radiant. Exercise does not stop at the neck. Your face will respond just as your body would. The alternative is risky, painful, expensive, addictive injections (that in the long term exacerbate wrinkles) or worse surgery The results of which are unpredictable, you never know? Be sure, be natural with Fitface - it's quick, easy, free and lasts a lifetime. What have you got to lose only a dull flaccid complexion Neglect your face and neck muscles at your peril Don't use it and you will lose it? (You know that's true - a fit tone face does not come in a jar). Keep your naturally toned healthy, youthful looking face with Fitface facial exercises. There are over 50 HANDS FREE exercises (all with photographs) and easy to follow instructions. Stop thinking and start exercising today and see a new, wonderfully refreshed you in the mirror. Fitface face and neck exercises will either roll back the clock or if you're young don't let the ravages of time by lack of effort catch up creep up as wrinkles on your face before your time Within the latest Fitface book Charlotte reveals all the current information on the alternatives to the Fitface system; for example - how neuerotoxin and filler injections turn into an expensive addictive drug habit - 'Wrinklerexia' and how the long term results of fillers or injections do cause more wrinkles The 50 exercises within the book are different to the first system. They are easier to learn and quicker to do, created as a back-up system to the first book - an alternative.

The only lie told more often than "No, that looks totally cute on you" and "I got AIDS through oral" is "It gets better." Well, a lotta times it don't. Sometimes it just sucks less. But I promise you: where there's a Willam, there's a way. But this isn't all about me (for once). It's about you and how you can Suck Less at a variety of things drag queens are so much better at than the average person. I've got clap backs and life hacks and tips on classing up a simple grab-and-run lifting spree to the much more dignified act of larceny. Super-important life stuff with my own special, secret fag- swag sauce. So welcome to Willam's School of Bitchcraft and Wiggotry. Class is in session. With a foreword from Neil Patrick Harris.

From the Preface... "The object of this little book is to furnish clear and full information about the art of shaving. There are few men who do not experience more or less difficulty in shaving themselves with the straight razor, and many who, after a few unsuccessful attempts, give it up in despair and go to the barber shop. We believe most of these would much prefer to shave themselves if only they could do as well as a barber. The advantages, indeed, seem to be wholly with the man who shaves himself. In the first place the shaving is done in the privacy if his own room. He has his own razor, cup, soap, brush and towels, which can be kept scrupulously clean and sanitary, thus avoiding the constant danger of infection. There is no long wait for the call of "next." After the first cost of the outfit there is nothing to pay, either for services or "tips." Thus in point of time, money and health the man who shaves himself is a decided gainer." These early years of the 21st century have seen a resurgence in the use of the straight razor, the dreaded "cut-throat." Where once lathering up in front of a mirror with a brush of badger was seen as something "old guys do," appreciation of the straight razor shave has come full circle. Almost universally known to give a far better shave than the modern cassette style safety razors, and resharpenable to boot, the straight is seen by many not just as a nostalgic piece of personal grooming equipment, but as an integral part of the daily morning ritual. This book, first penned in 1905 by an unknown writer for an obscure correspondence course company in the United States, has finally found its place. It has found itself to be the Great Manifesto of the Shaving Renaissance. Get back to basics, learn the manly art of shaving.
