5.0 out of 5 stars Martha Stewart move over, the Renaissance women are here!, July 17, 1999

This review is from: Rituals for the Bath: From the Renaissance Women (Hardcover)

Kathy and Lynne have crafted a beautiful book of practical, distinctive gifts and pleasures you can create in the tranquility of your own home. Their prose is enlifting and motivating, filled with heart-warming thoughts and unique notions. Blend equal parts of science, history, magic, and emotion, bake with passion, and see the results! I was tickled by their essential oil blends and keep a vile of Neroli perfume in my purse. Now, I am unique. And I didn't stop there, I have an entire bathroom cabinet dedicated to bath oils, massage oils, bath salts, and body lotions I have created from recipes in the book. Forgot a birthday? No worry and no need to run to the store, I reach into my cabinet and give a gift worth remembering every time. I have enjoyed everything about this book and think you will too. Good crafting!

This review is from: Rituals for the Bath: From the Renaissance Women (Hardcover)

I discovered my Winter 1998 Better Homes and Gardens (Bedroom & Bath ) issue a few recipes from both the A Place to Dream and Rituals for the Bath. I knew from just reading them I had everything in my home. I tried them and went crazy making them for all my family and friends. It is so terrible easy and due to my hectic work schedule anything easy is a blessing. I have turned other co-working on to this article and they too are going wild making the bath items. Everyone who loves a touch of family gifts should try both these books

4.0 out of 5 stars Love this book, January 30, 2000

This review is from: Rituals for the Bath: From the Renaissance Women (Hardcover)

This is a beautiful book with wonderful recipes. I do have a word of warning, however. Although the authors include an aromatherapy section, they DO NOT list any safety data on the essential oils they use in their recipes. I highly recommend getting a real aromatherapy book before trying out the essential oils that they use in their recipes.
