- Katic Couric

"The woman knows what she's doing."
– New York Times

"It's the little black book for the gray-is-the-new-blond set! At our age we are evolved enough to understand that wrinkles don't matter....But who needs 'em? Buy this book and glow old gracefully!"
– Christie Brinkley

"Had I only known that all I needed to look younger was Charla's book, I could have saved a lot of money on plastic surgery!"
– Joan Rivers

"Charla is a perfect American girl who knows how to help American women look better, in a non-extreme-makeover sort of way, and not lose themselves in the process. Bravo!"

"I love my friends who are blind to my flaws, but I need my friends who tell me the brutal truth about errant eyebrow hairs and too-short-for-my-age skirts. You don't have to take Charla's advice, but you can't say no one told you how to look absolutely fabulous as you age!"
– Peggy Northrop, editor in chief, More
