BATHTIME BLISS Are you looking for a present for a female friend or relation for under a fiver? Look no further as you have found it. Although there are so many bath oils and potions on the market what could be more satisfying than mixing your own? With just a few bottles of aromatherapy oils you can whip up a scented bath that will invigorate, relax, soothe, refresh or arouse you. Here are recipes to wake you up in the morning, calm you down in theevening, quiet those pre-exam or date nerves, comfort your soul, help relieve various ailments and put you in the mood for love. If you (or therecipient of this book) is on a budget then there is a chapter telling you the five basic oils you need to mix quite a few recipes to get you started for all sorts of situations and when you are feeling richer or a little more adventurous there is a list of most oils you can buy and what they do so you can mix your own recipes. This brings to mind childhood joys spent with Thomas Salter kits (nostalgia for many Brits reading this) mixing perfumes and other solutions. The book is presented in a clear and easy-to-follow way and you can get started straight away if you have the minimum five oils. To make any of the other recipes you will need a whole lot more of course but this chapter enables the book’s owner to start mixing and relaxing with a small outlay and I applaud this. You don’t even have to be into New Age beliefs either to enjoy the benefits of a deliciously scented bath and so this book really is suitable for a very wide variety of people. Inexpensive and impressive – would that all my Christmas shopping was this easy! |
