This glorious book showcases the bath as the epitome of calm and privacy. Speaking to a woman's desire for a bit of luxury and quiet time, Victoria Bath & Beauty offers hints and tips for creating an atmosphere with the feel of a home spa.

Victoria's editors haven't forgotten anything, from plush towels to rose petals floating in the water to lavish sponges. Everything needed to create a tranquil mood is here as well: potpourri, candles, bath pillows, scented soaps. There are even "recipes" for lotions to be smoothed on after the bath so that a pampered feeling continues long after the moment of respite is only a memory.

Lush photographs of the bath and its indulgences make this a beautiful book as well as a useful one. Victoria Bath & Beauty considers the beauty of the setting -- fine carpets, pedestal sinks, and brass lighting fixtures -- as well as the amenities that create quiet and pleasure. And a source list provides real help in finding these indulgences. Victoria speaks with authority to the romantic and feminine side of life and what better way to express this than through the ritual and beauty of the bath!
