Reseña del editor:
This illustration-filled, idea-packed title makes a great gift book, but most gift buyers will also want to bring home a second copy for themselves. Its theme is as simple as it is delightful: Pamper yourself in the bath. The author touches on everything from bathroom design to skin care, and suggests ideas that include:
Color therapy—transform walls and bathroom appointments with restful cool colors such as blue, green, or violet Mood music—play CDs of favorite songs, or alternately, play soothing recorded sounds from nature, such as birdsong, surf, and wind
The author also presents ideas for restful eye treatments, pedicures, lotions, scents, soaps, bath salts, and many more small luxuries designed to transform bathing into a truly sensuous experience. An opulent art form invented by the Romans more than two thousand years ago, luxury bathing has undergone dramatic advances in our own generation. HereÂ's the book that proves it! Illustrations on every two-page spread.
