Tackling everything from cosmetic surgery and financial panic to skinny jeans and the meaning of life, I’ve Still Got It. And she’s discovered the one thing she will need to do for the rest of ever if she’s going to continue to refuse to “dress her age.”
She’s learned the trick to looking ten years younger and the secret to feeling ten times happier (and it only cost $14.99 plus shipping and handling). She’s figured out how to tame her muffin top, keep the spark in her marriage and probably not die a fiery hoarder’s death. She has, however, had time to crack the mysterious midlife code.
(Actually she does, but she’s in denial so maybe don’t mention it?) And between complaining about how tired she is, trying to remember what she came in here for and wondering whether she drinks too much, she does not have time for a crisis. She certainly doesn’t look forty-something. Jenna McCarthy might be forty-something, but she doesn’t feel forty-something. Welcome to Middle Age! Please check your functioning internal thermostat and razor-sharp memory at the door and pour yourself a nice, stiff drink.
