Being a landscape designer and gardening columnist I am always outside with flowers, trees and fragrance. When I read Melissa's book I was happy to see how she had woven their uses into our daily life. Her Spa-Cipes and recipe for happiness in life is infectious.There is a saying in the Lokota tribe that reads "When a man moves away from nature his heart becomes hard." Melissa's book not only gives you a recipe for living and enjoying a healthy life she has peppered it with inspirational sayings that brighten your day. One of my favorites is by Charles Schultz and reads: "All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt."Melissa's book contains recipes for scented baths that relax or energize you, foot soaks, shower soothers, room sprays, homemade soaps, food facials, hair treatments, detox wraps, healing body treatments for us and our pets as well as shopping lists for natural foods and an explanation for how they help our bodies. There are also recipes for healthful smoothies, snacks and meals.I loved Spa-cipes and recommend it to everyone who enjoys nature as I do.
