Review of Insider Beauty (Paperback)

I'm a big fan of Diane Irons, and Insider Beauty is one of her best.Not only is it full of brand new tips that really work, it's an inside look into how Fashionistas operate, how they think, and how we can gain that very same confidence and style.Diane has helped me to organize my "stuff", take care of my skin, rethink my wardrobe, fight aging, get the latest information on plastic surgery, and it's all done from a practical, consumer point of view that doesn't cost a lot or take a lot of time.I loved the chapter where the celebrities shared their beauty & diet secrets.This book gives a lot of bang for the buck.Highly recommended!

Review of Natural Beauty: Pamper Yourself with Salon Secrets at Home (Paperback)

This book could be good for a model wanna-be.It does have a chapter on shaping your eyebrows and waxing your legs - ouch!However, if you want useful recipes and remedies do not buy this book!The author's idea of a recipe for Foot-Soaking Fizzies is Alka Seltzer and your favorite essential oil.Her recipe for Aromatherapy Bath Salts is epsom salt, your favorite essential oil and food coloring! This book lacks useful information and only has a few recipes other than those listed on the back cover. Most ingredients are not natural and most of her"secrets" would irritate my sensitive skin.

Review of Girls' Night In: Spa Treatments At Home (Paperback)

Think of pampering and spas and usually one thinks of paying big bucks to leave home and obtain professional treatment: but as GIRLS' NIGHT IN: SPA TREATMENTS AT HOME shows, many of the same results can be achieved right at home on a budget. Use GIRLS' NIGHT IN to host a spa party: seasonal themes, recipes for home products and healthy foods and drinks, and even cocktail recipes make GIRLS' NIGHT IN an appealing alternative.

Product Description
Girls' Night In is a playful and practical illustrated guide to creating spa parties sure to nourish the soul and soothe the body. Divided by season, each spa party, 12 in all, features a fun theme and includes fresh spa concoctions, activities, and foods, as well as music and decorating suggestions. Jennifer Worick presents a plethora of ideas, including the invigorating spring spa, designed to revitalize skin and spirit after the cold winter months; the energizing honey spa, certain to put new life in tired engines; and the classic slumber spa, in which pajamas, giggling, and gossip are mandatory. She's also taken some of the hottest spa treatments, such as a hot stone massage, cranial-sacral massage, and crystal therapy, and translated them for easy at-home use. Covering the basics, from invitations to the properly stocked spa pantry, the book also provides sidebars throughout that offer handy information on topics such as manicures and pedicures; the proper way to wash one's face; quotes and advice on beauty, health, and wellness; and tips from spas around the country.
