4.0 out of 5 stars Little Pleasures, May 2, 2003

This review is from: Chin Deep in Bubbles: Little Luxuries for Every Day (Paperback)

The busy woman needs a way to dump all those stressers and indulge in some self enjoyment and relaxation. There are enough ideas in this little gem that something is going to work. My complaint is that you have to make a lot of the recipes and if your that busy who has time for that indulgence. The book is divided into several categories...The Enchanted Bath, Treatments to Pamper your Face, Miracles for your Hair, Aromatherapy, Pampering for Your Hands and Feet, Spa foods and Cooking Light and more. There are also a number of sayings to help you along in your search for calm. It was enjoyable just reading about all the ways to pamper yourself. I recommend it and can't wait to try out some of the ideas.
