Rare Beauty,
This review is from: Spa Living: Ideas, Tips,& Recipes for Revitalizing Body-Mind-Spirit (Hardcover)
"Beauty is not simply skin deep. Beauty encompasses all aspects of a person-mind, body, and soul-with each aspect key to achieving ultimate beauty. It's quite amazing! When a person is of sound mind, body, and spirit, they have a very distinct glow." ~ Hippo Lipkin
Sunamita Lim's newest work is a book of rare beauty. Page after page invites you into tranquil spaces where you can nourish body and soul. The main chapters include: The Quest for Radiant Beauty and Well-Being An Introduction to Spas and Services Incorporating Proper Skin Care Balancing Body-Mind-Spirit with Meditation Attaining Physical and Emotional Fitness Enjoying Spa Cuisine Choosing to Go Green In order to write this book, Sunamita Lim traveled to the world's best spas to uncover their inherent beauty. This is a book filled with gorgeous pictures of hot tubs, glistening tiled steam rooms, indoor pools, warm baths, fireplaces and dreamy candlelit rooms. "The Inn at Loretto's SpaTerre in Santa Fe mixes warm yogurt with the traditional lulur paste of turmeric, ground rice, sandalwood and jasmine. Gentle massage works in the paste together with warm honey. Afterwards a steam shower stimulates yogurt cells to restore the skin's pH balance, while the honey nourishes and moisturizes the skin." ~ pg. 56 While this book focuses on outward beauty there is also a sense of inner beauty. There are also pages of advice and a glossary of spa treatments for anyone new to the spa experience. If you are looking for spa recipes, there are a few easy-to-make skin scrubs and masks. Some of the spa cuisine recipes include: Frozen Raspberry Mousse Spanikopita Candied Ginger Sorbet Energy Soup Carrot Cake Chai Mixed Vegetable Subji Through reading this book you may feel inspired to visit a spa or create your own spa experience at home. There is also advice on how to begin a meditation practice. I can also highly recommend: Japanese Style and Chinese Style: Living in Beauty and Prosperity. ~The Rebecca Review
