Review # 1 was written on 2019-03-03 00:00:00 Shawn Critchlow Thank you I needed that. This has something for everyone. It's has so many different ways to destress your life. I'm going through breast cancer and life is a mess right now. This was an enjoyable read.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-10-13 00:00:00 Greg Riepl Daughter and mother Laurel and Sharon House, West Coast editor of Fit magazine and a partner at a Los Angeles PR firm, respectively, have collected the de-stressors of B-list celebs like Vanna White, Melissa Rivers, and Susan Lucci. Most are elementary and simple (e.g., scented candles, massage) and feel more often like product placements than advice. The book's raison d'être-that American women lack "me-time"-is arguable, as is the notion that celebrities are "in desperate need of a little coddling." The biggest strength here is that most of the home spa treatments are described clearly and sound doable and fun (e.g., peeled, grated potato temporarily lightens those dark circles under the eyes), but these ideas can be found in more affordable and down-to-earth books like Laura DuPriest's Natural Beauty: Pamper Yourself with Salon Secrets at Home.
