I can't imagine ever having time to do all that is recommended here. Soaking and treating the hands (10-20 min.), facials (10-30 min.), body wraps (20-30 min.), soak in the tub each day (20-30 min.), and so on. That is for the actual body treatments, not the time required to mix the ingredients for them and clean up after.
I have never been to a spa, although this book makes it sound more inviting to me than it has before. I may try a recipe here and there if I ever have a slow weekend, and I might try a couple of them to make for Christmas gifts. In other words, I will keep this book for reference as a symbol of hope that life will slow down enough to do some of these pampering things for myself. Or, perhaps I will save up and go to a spa one day.
Included are recipes for the body outside, a few for the body inside (drinks, salads), lots of pages of terms for spa treatments (interesting), pages of actual spas to go to, places to buy ingredients and a nice glossary of essential oils and their properties for health, as well as some of the dangers.
