Book review: Beautiful You

The two questions the 54-year-old is most commonly asked relate to her age and whether she's had a facelift, and she is often taken for 10 to 15 years younger.

Her secret? In Beautiful You Saunders shares her knowledge on how to look and feel fantastic at any age.

Saunders has been in the fashion, beauty, modelling and media industries for three decades and has mentored many, including Miss World winners.

Each chapter in Beautiful You covers a specific subject, and is easy, practical and attainable.

The book covers everything from 10 anti-aging foods, how to apply makeup correctly and putting together a workable wardrobe.

There are chapters on vitamins, exercise, building your self-esteem and how happiness is the best cosmetic in the world.

The author says: "As I evolve and grow I love the confidence, wisdom and true beauty I have gained. In fact, I feel more attractive, energetic and sexier now than I did in my teens."

You have to be comfortable with your own body, she says, understand it and learn what it wears well.

There is something to learn for every woman in this book.

It's encouraging and a glimpse through will have you pulling your shoulders back and wanting to do more.

The bit I loved: "Size is of no importance ... Ignore the numbers on hang tags. It is far more important to have a good fit that flatters you than to worry about wearing a certain size.

Embrace and celebrate who you are by bringing out the most of your inner self to look, feel and be positively fabulous at any age"
