Eat Beautiful by Wendy Rowe



I think most women want to have beautiful skin. We just don't know how to always get it. Many times, we change our soap or our external care, when we really need dietary changes to make a difference. Eat Beautiful by Wendy Rowe was written to help you nourish your skin both inside and out.

To start with,  Eat Beautiful is divided by the seasons. When Rowe lived in Paris for 4 years, she said she learned to eat with the seasons which made a big difference in how she looked at and felt. With in each seasonal chapter, there is information on ingredients representing each season, such as asparagus, leafy greens, radishes and spinach for spring. Each ingredient is described with nutritional information and how the ingredient could be beneficial to your skin and other aspects of your health. Following the ingredient descriptions within each seasonal chapter are various recipes that could be used for that season. All of the recipes have beautiful color photographs accompanying them.

In the back of Eat Beautiful, Rowe has included recipes for do-it-yourself beauty treatments. Recipe examples include magnesium foot scrub and rosewater toner. Rowe then lists several skin conditions and offers advice on how you could help those conditions holistically. She also offers advice for taking care of your skin in the sun. Rowe then offers a section called, Nature's pharmacy where she lists various natural herbs that one could use to help skin conditions. The last small section is a guide to nutrients where Rowe lists how various nutrients help the body and also what foods would be the best sources of those nutrients. Eat Beautiful also has a nice, complete index to find things quickly that you are trying to reference.

I think this is a great reference book for someone who wants to take care of the skin naturally and holistically. I can see pulling Eat Beautiful off my shelf and referencing it seasonally or when facing certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to care for their skin and their body holistically.Rowe stresses that diet, exercise, stress, and skin care all work together to make a difference in how your skin looks. 

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader.

There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
