Normally we just talk fashion here, but how can you think about looking fab when your having “one of those days”..
E is the author of a new book on M (menopause) called Shmirshsky, Think Inside the Box.
We came across this quick read and it had us chuckling out loud, as well as helping to demystify common symptoms of PM and M (e.g. Hot Flash Hell and Am I the only one that can’t remember things anymore?) without making it all so serious!
Shmirshky empowers women to take charge of this often mysterious topic.
Do you know what some of the symptoms of PM and M are?
E helps her readers learn how to interpret the symptoms of PM&M, research and interview doctors, understand the necessary tests, and reach out to loved ones for support.
How can you treat them?
Treating the symptoms of PM&M is not a one-size-fits-all situation. As E says, “Too bad they can’t administer hormone therapy through a pair of heels.”
Hey, E. that is not a bad idea!!!
We know that this whole M. thing is no laughing matter, but E. has a “take charge” attitude with a nice touch of humor!
If you know of any other books you liked on the M. subject, please comment below!

1. So Baby Boomer:
Actress Suzanne Somers, age 62, sympathizes with women suffering from what she calls “The Seven Dwarfs of Menopause: Itchy, Bitchy, Sleepy, Sweaty, Bloated, Forgetful and All Dried Up.” These women of a certain age have the choice of restoration versus deterioration.
2. Life Two:
Midlife dating is like shopping for a new house, so says Life Two’s Dating Goddess who dated over 91 men in a 3.5 year period as she compiled stories and tips for her new book, “Wait or Date”.
3. Hole In the Donut
Barbara at Hole In The Donut compares her experience as a freelance writer to comments made byElizabeth Gilbert, author of the best-selling “Eat, Pray, Love.” In the video of her speech, Gilbert proposes that we need to look at genius in a different way.
The neighborhood movie theater was a welcome spot for rainy and/or swelteringly hot summer afternoons in the 50’s. The drive-in theater was likewise a fond destination that many of us remember. One of the most amazing innovations that were enjoyed by the older members of the Boomer generation were 3D movies and comic books.
7. This Marriage Thing
Who said older isn’t better? Dina interviews Maggie Scarf, author of September Songs, about the U principle and why the very best in marriage is yet to come.
