this book offers lots of practical spa treatments for everyday use, particulary when you male partner wouldn't think of enjoying a treatment at a high-priced spa. as a added benefit, i'm thinking of hosting a girls night out where our activities (other than drinking and talking) are right out of the pages here. it should be great and inexpensive fun.

I am not a big fan of this book as I cant imagine that scrubing my skin with kitty litter would really be something I would do. I suppose some of the things in this book might be right up the ally of some people but be aware of the men with the white love yourself coats if your caught trying some of them! There are some things however that make sense but mostly its a random book full of what I guess would be a good book to use if you were playing dare!

It was interesting, but a lot of repeated information, and slight variations on the same "recipes".
