Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: easy does it Comment: This book is so inspiring if you are a sucker for the spa and want to capture a bit of that sensation at home. Nothing replaces the soothing and relaxing effect of the spa that you can only get while being pampered by someone else. But if you're like me mixing up a few of these pure elixirs at home is sure to be an ideal replacement. Most likely you already have the ingredients at home so just whip up a nice lavender salt scrub and enjoy pampering yourself. A few ingredients that come in handy for a nice body scrub are, rock salt (easy to find at the grocery store), olive oil, lavender oil extract or dried rosemary. There's much more too. for instance, masks, wraps and spa foods. Enjoy! Customer Rating: Summary: Great Recipes for Your Body Comment: This is a very good book if you enjoy pampering yourself and your body. You only have one; so take good care of it! The book has some great ideas and gives you an "in" to some very exciting secrets. This book is a real great source of ways to nourish your body. It will also make a great gift for anyone else that shares your passion. Customer Rating: Summary: Relax With Secret of the Spas Comment: This book is the perfect gift for girlfriends. It's organized really well and has many creative recipes and tips for skin and haircare. We've entertained the idea of having a "spa party" and using this book as a guide. My only nit is that many of the ingredients are difficult to find, unless - of course - you have your own herb garden or a Whole Foods nearby. However, some of the recipes are simple and really work. Ideas range from the very easy - beating an egg white and using it as a face mask; to the more complex - mixing several oils, pulverizing herbs and refridgerating the mixture before using... Who has time for that - really? Customer Rating: Summary: Secrets of the spas Comment: This is a great book for ideas on making your own spa products Customer Rating: Summary: Still enjoying it Comment: I bought this book a couple of years ago and I am still using it. In fact, I have to hide it from my girlfriend so she can't borrow it. Well maybe I will just buy it for her as an Xmas present this year. I especially love the Avocado Hand Scrub (pg 121). kem More Reviews
