Book Description

March 1, 2006
Living on a tiny, remote island in the Caribbean, former model India Hicks has developed a reverence for the most essential elements of life: breathing in the fresh air, surrounded by cleansing water, standing on the bare earth, taking hold of time. In Island Beauty, the inspired sequel to Island Life, Hicks shares her holistic approach, demonstrating how "island wisdom" can help women everywhere to rejuvenate both their outer and their inner selves.

Hicks offers a multitude of island-inspired ideas and daily practices, covering everything from exercise and eating well to meditation and detoxification. Every chapter includes lore from the island's elders, quick tips for a healthier lifestyle, and easy-to-make, all-natural recipes for body treatments (Avocado Cleanser, Exuma Salt Glow, Hibiscus Hair Shampoo) and snacks (Grilled Lobster and Mango Salsa, Papaya Aloe Smoothie, Sleepy Tea). Graced with stunning photographs by David Loftus that capture the beauty and tranquility of the people and their setting, Island Beauty will encourage every woman-whether she lives on a tropical island or in a city apartment-to embrace nature and to lead a calmer, healthier life.

1.0 out of 5 stars What ? Is that Bo Derek on the cover?, January 2, 2007
By 
This review is from: Island Beauty (Hardcover)
This book would never have made it to press had it not been for the fact that India Hicks is the granddaughter of Lord Louis Mountbatten and 2nd cousin to Prince Charles. Can we talk? The book is pure drivel. All of the information contained in this airy-fairy, pseudo-aristocratic, jet-setty, new-agey book has been written about for years. Such pearls of wisdom as: Get enough sleep. Drink lots of water. Please, spare me. While this could have been a classy book, naked photos of India Hicks, made it lose my vote. I guess I'm an old "prude", but if you are connected to the Royal family, keep your clothes on.

Customer Review......Susie from Connecticut says..

This book is truly an escape for many of us that do not take the time to grasp the natural beauty in our lives and embrace it .The humor, the art direction and the organic quality of this book reflect beautifully thoughout the pages.

A wonderful addition to anyone's library.
