Nature's Beauty Secrets: Recipes for Beauty Treatments from the World's Best Spas

Thank you, Dawn Gallagher, for sharing with us your gifts of grace and eloquence, for crafting this compelling book that reveals for us the treasures of Mother Earth that surrounds us all. Your beauty and charm abound, of that there is no doubt, but the sisterhood of womankind owe you a debt of gratitude for sharing with us your secrets of natural beauty achieved through immersion into the very elements that are just within arms reach in our kitchens and gardens, never out of sight yet all too often out of mind. Your gracious expertise shows us that with a bit of creativity and but a brief moment or two out of our day, we, too, can achieve the luminosity of a top model without breaking the bank. Your tips encourage and actually convince us that it is indeed possible to exude a glowing dewy essence that feels fresh and supple, simply by employing easy tips that pamper and bring pleasure to our over-scheduled lives! The photographs are luscious, and the recipes are divine...I never know whether I should apply them to my skin, hair, or pour them over a salad, as they always look so tempting to eat as well! I think it's time to dash down to my kitchen right now, as I'm longing for a papaya, honey and yogurt facial once again, and the bonus? I get to savor the flavor on the spoon too...yummy! Brava, Dawn. Love from your Bibliophile admirer, Kathleen P.

I really found this book to be a excellent resource to re-create a spa experience at home. The recipes are easy to follow and I love that I can buy most of the ingredients at my local grocery store. Pampering yourself at home is finally made easy. As a fellow reviewer said-a must have for moms!Aside from a beauty resource, the book is a travel guide! I have been to a couple of the spas reviewed in the book and will use it as a reference source for future destinations. Beautiful book that soothes with each turn of the page.Many thanks to the author for bringing beauty with easy to my home.

This book is worth every penny. I don't like books with fancy pictures and I'm not a spa person, but I like DIY beauty products and based on the reviews here I bought this book. I'm very happy with the flow of the book and the information. I've been using the skin care for dry skin with rose water and my skin is wonderful! Such even skin color now. I also really like the coffee sugar scrub. Definetly get this book.

I LOVE this book and use Dawn's home remedy recipes often.A BEAUTIFUL book that will calm you down, teaches you to do pampering projects at home and sets you in a blissful, relaxed mood.A GREAT gift idea for your great girl friends who might be a bit stressed out:) I also love the diverse, carefully selected beautiful ladies to represent a global ethnic presence. Truly new age with world culture.

With my baby turning two soon I recently realized that the one most neglected was me. This book has rejuvenated me and given me a simple way to pamper myself so that I can take care of those I love. The simple inexpensive techniques and products make taking care of me guilt free. This should be part of every new mother survival kit. I know what I will be giving this book as gifts at any future baby shower.Thank you!!!!

Dawn Gallagher's, "Nature's Beauty Secrets" contains easy-to-make recipes that include many ingredients found in the average kitchen. This book packs a ton of advice on mind, body and soul in four easy to understand chapters. The pictures and inspirational quotes add a special touch. Reading this book makes me feel like I have traveled the world. (I have been sharing this book with my family & friends, but I really hope they buy a copy of their own.)

I love this book! The photos are absolutely exquisite. I feel like I'm being transported to the most glamorous spas around the world. And what a great idea to show us how to recreate these fabulous treatments within our own homes. The directions are clear, simple and easy to do. Best of all, this book gives you refreshing new ideas on how to pamper yourself (or others) without spending a fortune.

Nice book with lovely photos and some good recipes. Have yet to try them yet though.....

I am genarally very picky about what I put on my skin. I saw this book at spa while on holidays close to new years and it fit in with my resolution to take better care of myself. I have tried many of the recipes and have been following her daily skin care routine for 3 weeks now. I am very happy with the look and texture of my skin ( face), redness is reduces, dryness is reduced, adult acne is reduced. My chanel make up looks flawless on top too. I will keep following her tips.
