We all love the idea of going to a spa or health farm for a weekend, but rarely can we afford the time or the money to do so. However, for anyone who wants all the benefits of a spa weekend without the expense - here is the answer. The book is divided into three sections, each featuring a quite different weekend with its own particular benefits - detoxicating, evergy-boosting or relaxing. Select your ideal home spa weekend from the choice of delicious recipe plans, invigorating therapies and stress-relieving strategies. Each section is broken down into an hour-by-hour guide to the weekend with a variety of popular techniques and therapies explained in full.
