The Handbook Of Ayurveda
Most of us use a huge variety of beauty products on our skin and hair every day--from shower gel and shampoo to moisturizer and hand lotion--but the majority of these products contain a variety of chemicals. In Natural Beauty, natural skincare and fragrance expert Karen Gilbertshows you how to make your own lotions and potions at home, using readily available, natural ingredients and easy-to-follow methods. For the face, there are moisturizers, masks, and cleansers; for the body choose from scrubs and shower gels, soaps and body lotions. And when you need some extra-special pampering, try the recipes for lip balms, massage bars, bath oils, and eye gels. So try your hand at making a neroli hydrating spritz or a macadamia and jojoba moisturizer, a mango and lime body butter or lemon and tea tree foot balm, bergamot and grapefruit wake-up wash or cocoa butter lip balm--the hardest part is choosing which of the pampering projects to try first! Each recipe has clear step-by-step photographs to guide you, and there are numerous variations to try.

Tarot for life and love
Almost everyone who consults the Tarot wants to know about relationships - whether it is a relationship with a lover, a friend, a relation or a colleague. They want to know what the future holds, what are our chances of success and whether we should just give up and move on. The Tarot is a marvellous tool for this sort of divination - it can help to assess current situations or future events with accuracy and its 78 cards allow it to cover an amazing variety of possibilities. This text reveals the secrets behind each card. The sun card, for example, is a sign of tremendous joy to come, while the six of swords suggests that difficult times will soon be over. With sample readings using both classic "spreads" and new arrangements, this text should help the reader through good times and bad, enabling them to see a situation in its true light and make the most of their opportunities.
