Review: A great little book of recipes to pamper body and soul. Good recipes with readily available ingredients and easy to follow directions. The end results appear almost as if by magic.

Summary: Good ideas...but so-so recipes
Review: I find the the lotion and cream recipes to be far too heavy and greasy. Also, the solid rose and milk bath tablets did not work well when actually used in the bath. I get the impression that the recipes need some adjustment.

Summary: Great for Beginners
Review: Kelly Reno has done a great job of writing books that are helpful for those just starting out. It is amazing that you can make your own lotions and change the scents to match yourself or your friends. The lotions are heavy and greasy, but I think its because our idea of lotions are those that are so heavy with lotions (with alcohols) that we expect it to soak right in instead of using the healing properties of the oils.The bath beads turned out great. My first batch was great, but all the rest (go figure) I had to add a little more dry product to it so it wasn't so sticky. Its like cooking, its all an experiment and you just have to "season" it the way you like it. Highly reccommended!

Review: There must be an error in the proportions for
the Rose Bath Beads because it isn't possible
to "stir until thick" the 1/4 cup rose water
and 1/4 c. powdered milk. I tried three times.
The wrinkle-smoothing potion seems ok, but the
Vanilla Body Lotion is heavy and greasy and
more difficult to blend (beeswax mixture with
water) than suggested.
