Book Reviews of The Essence Total Makeover: Body, Beauty, Spirit

Book Review: Almost a total makeover...
Summary: 4 Stars

I love this book as well as the other Essence book for its wonderful tips and display of black beauty. I do agree with SConte about the last chapter, not every person is Christian and their spiritual section strayed a little too far from the book's intended purpose. Other than that i do think this is a must have book for black women, even if it just sits on the coffee table.

Summary of The Essence Total Makeover: Body, Beauty, Spirit

The millions of sisters who read Essence have always known that looking and feeling good go hand in hand. True beauty is much more than perfect makeup and a great hairstyle. It's about maximizing your potential--spiritually, mentally, and physically. Here, from the publisher of the premier lifestyle magazine for African-American women, and with an inspiring introduction by Susan L. Taylor, editor-in-chief of Essence, is a step-by-step guide on how to make the most of your assets. The Essence Total Makeover offers practical advice covering all the beauty bases, from skin, hair, and health to physical, spiritual, and mental fitness. Every chapter provides useful, in-depth guidance to being your best. You will learn how to: *

care for your face, cleanse and moisturize your skin, make face masks at home, and moisturize your face to bring out your skin's natural glow; *

treat your hair with love, assess its condition, and decide which styles are best for you; *

nurture your body from head to toe, with everything from recipes for at-home manicures to expert advice on beginning a fitness program; *

incorporate healthy eating into your active lifestyle; *

get your life in balance by seeing what works and what can work better; *

tap into your soul power and find peace in a world filled with challenges. Illustrated throughout with stunning full-color photos, The Essence Total Makeover is an indispensable companion for women on the go and on the job, at home and away. Featuring advice from experts around the nation, and with a liberal sprinkling of celebrity beauty secrets, The Essence Total Makeover is the essential guide to inner and outer beauty for every woman of color. Essence is the preeminent lifestyle magazine for African-American women. Celebrating its thirtieth anniversary in 2000, it has a circulation of over 1 million and a readership of 7.5 million. Its editor-in-chief is Susan L. Taylor. "More than anything, this is a book about possibilities--about our unlimited potential for creativity and happiness once we assume the courage to be our true and best self. What a blessing it is to be able to envision how and what we want to be in the world, then roll up our sleeves and do the work of bringing that vision into being. Any time we choose, we can renew ourselves, we can begin again." --From the Introduction by Susan L. Taylor
