Beauty Books

This was one of the best books I've ever read. I've also read the first three in the series, and you'll love all of them. It's full of mystery, having you wonder who will be the six finalists, plus who will be the big winner. This is truly a great book that I'm sure everyone will enjoy. A word of advice: read the first three first, just so you'll know what's going on.

This is the best of the Pageant books. With the addition to the "cast" of Christy, who is mascarading as a teen to write a tell all about the pageant, the plot is even more interesting. How the girls, especially Heather, Alexis and Lisa fold into Christy's plot, and make her betrayal more painful for her, is very interesting. The overall camadarade of the girls, and the sub plots, such as Fawn and Tyler, Alexis and Justin and all make for a great read!

This is a great book to help you gain knowledge about skin care. It also helped my Daughter with her acne problems. We have also purchased some of the products in the book.The products are great. Good book.

I have purchased the book written by Kenneth Beer MD - Palm Beach Perfect Skin and am so happy that I did. It explained in great detail an easy way to stay looking younger without having to go through major surgery. I have since purchased his products that are described in the book and can tell you the self heating crystals are absolutely wonderful. My skin has never felt so smooth. I would recommend everyone to get this book so they can achieve better looking skin becuase I can already see and feel a difference.

My daughter loves the "chicken" series from Mary Jane Auch, particularly those devoted to dancing such as this one. Here we meet Poulette, a ballet-dancing chicken whose visions of stardom cloud her judgment when a fast-talking fox "talent scout" appears. Some good lessons in friendship, caution, mercy, and self-worth. Excellent illustrations. I strongly recommend the series.

Here is a histarical book about a chicken who dreams of being a famous ballerina and puts herself in danger of a wolf just for her one big chance. My daughter, and mother and I were all just roaring with laughter. My mother can do a wonderful southern accent and applied it to Poulette's voice. It was great! This book is great to do voices with for the different charectors! You're child will LOVE it! My daughter brought this book home from the school library and we got such a huge kick out of it we have told lots of people about it. I just had to buy a copy for my family! It is a "must-have"! You won't be dissappointed! A great one to read to your elementary children's class room! Nice easy reading that isn't too long before bed time too! :)

This book is, literally, an "instant classic." That's because it take modern scholarly methods and applies them to a subject area that's been uncovered until now. Todd's book is actually not esoteric at all, but deeply relevant to anyone interested either in 19th Century America or physical culture history. Her research is thorough and her writing is smooth and easy to take. While the book's tone is serious, it isn't stuffy and boring like so many academic works. This book is superb, important, and even fun!

Todd has presented a new vision for women's exercise in the ealry 19th century. Her research is impressive and her findings illuminate an aspect of women's lives that historians have here-to-fore ignored. Great book for women's studies classes/or body culture classes.

This book is a real treasure. I bought my first copy in November, when the central Indiana countryside is dormant in shades of gray and brown. During a ten minute walk I found and was able to identify seven plants I didn't even know existed in our overgrown field. I own a small nature and garden shop and have recommended this book many times as an excellent way to identify common weeds and wildflowers when the bloom has faded. I highly recommend "Pods" for the beginning naturalist or crafter using everlasting materials.

Pods - Wildflowers and Weeds in Their Final Beauty by Jane Embertson is one of my favorite books on dried flowers. Great color photos of 144 plants flowering in the field, dried pods and used in an arrangement. The auther gives bloom time, flower description, leaf description and a description of where and when to pick the pods. There is an additional section of 28 black & white photos of grasses and "winter skeletons". This is a marvelous reference work with a total of

460 photos that are each a work of art.

The collection of poems, "Portratis of Beauty" is truly extraordinary. Once I picked it up, I devoured the words and visions on each page. Jason Kirkey is able to articulate into words, those feelings that I too, have felt when walking the land. I am easily transported back to Ireland and Jason's poems express my heart ache caused by the separation I feel from the heart beat of that isle. I highly recommend this book and any future publications from this author.

"Portraits of Beauty" awakens the senses to the depth of life all around, creating a set of poems that challanges, comforts, cleanses, and compells the reader to think about what it means to be human. The poems cover a whole range of topics, but each one shows what it means to not live a life too small for the soul, what it means to embrace joy and loss like a lover, and what it means to feel the beauty of simply being. The approach is one that looks at nature and spirit with a soft gaze and an open palm. For a first publication, Jason Kirkey has set a precedent for his own career, and I am very impressed, from a professional point of view, at what he has put out. He shows a wide range of spiritual and psychological knowledge and experience, and that recommends himself very highly as a poet. I have thoroughly enjoyed my copy, love reading it to my friends and for personal meditation, and find something new and meaningful in it each time I pick it up. Well done!

It was my good fortune to study under Janet Simms (a foremost authority in Beauty Therapy) who was instrumental in inspiring many students to carry forward their beauty therapy skills in to the workplace; and responsible for passing on all the traditional technical and practical application skills necessary for the modern beauty therapist to become a skilled practitioner. All the very best techniques are covered in this practical guide; with an emphasis on quality of client care and the highest of salon treatments and standards. No level 2 Beauty Therapy student should be without this book. This is a standard text book that will be around for a very long time.

The previous version was a best seller in the UK. The new edition takes into account a number od recent developments in the Beauty Industry. New standards for NVQ2 have been incorporated. The format is revised to take acount of comments received from the earlier edition. This will be invaluable and current for all practicing and trainee beauty technicians and therapists.

Moreno is witty & in the know. She has cultivated the posh life in a shoestring to an artform and shares it with humor & style. -Meredith (www.meredithhaberfeld.com)

This is a "Guide to Life" that you and all of your girlfriends would love! The author's writing style makes you feel like you are one of her BFFs. There are tips on asking for a raise, for decorating your home, how to "impress a dude", great drugstore beauty products and even recipes for entertaining. The book has plenty of visuals and is so well put together that you can pick it up and read 5-10 pages without even realizing. This is the pefect book for busy women on the go who want to uncover the secrets of living a posh life, practically - a feat not easily accomplished, but with Moreno's help - a possibility for all of us glam girls. This will be on my "give list" for Christmas this year!

A wonderfully detailed book of patterns to warm a beader's heart. "...to bead or not to bead..." (a Pristine's amulet), ...there is No Question!

The title is correct! These critters are gorgeous & the directions are easy to follow.

Very positive and inspiring for those who want to try a healthier and more nutrient rich way of eating. Roxy Dillon's recommendation to use broad spectrum amino acids really does work - it even makes rough skin feel soft and supple. The book would be improved by having more recipes and advice for people to make the transition from eating "normal" to more raw food and how to deal with food cravings and how to eat in the "real" world. Lots of ideas and examples and the checklist of what you should be eating as an ideal each day is very useful.

This is one of the best and most inovative books of its kind. I had a copy some years ago, but lent it to a friend who lent it to a friend etc. Now I want a copy and can't get one. I would have thought this would be a good time for a reprint with all the health consciousness around today. Roxy Dillon gives a fantastic coverage of all aspects of healthy living and rejuvenation techniques.
