Average Customer Ratings:

Living on a tiny, remote island in the Caribbean, former model India Hicks has developed a reverence for the most essential elements of life: breathing in the fresh air, surrounded by cleansing water, standing on the bare earth, taking hold of time. In Island Beauty, the inspired sequel to Island Life, Hicks shares her holistic approach, demonstrating how "island wisdom" can help women everywhere to rejuvenate both their outer and their inner selves.

Hicks offers a multitude of island-inspired ideas and daily practices, covering everything from exercise and eating well to meditation and detoxification. Every chapter includes lore from the island's elders, quick tips for a healthier lifestyle, and easy-to-make, all-natural recipes for body treatments (Avocado Cleanser, Exuma Salt Glow, Hibiscus Hair Shampoo) and snacks (Grilled Lobster and Mango Salsa, Papaya Aloe Smoothie, Sleepy Tea). Graced with stunning photographs by David Loftus that capture the beauty and tranquility of the people and their setting, Island Beauty will encourage every woman-whether she lives on a tropical island or in a city apartment-to embrace nature and to lead a calmer, healthier life.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Island beauty -
This book is written in a lovely way and is so refreshing. The photos of the people living on this Island are so beautiful and natural. Good recipes for hot days are included. Recommended for lovers of the simple, natural way.

What ? Is that Bo Derek on the cover? -
This book would never have made it to press had it not been for the fact that India Hicks is the granddaughter of Lord Louis Mountbatten and 2nd cousin to Prince Charles. Can we talk? The book is pure drivel. All of the information contained in this airy-fairy, pseudo-aristocratic, jet-setty, new-agey book has been written about for years. Such pearls of wisdom as: Get enough sleep. Drink lots of water. Please, spare me. While this could have been a classy book, naked photos of India Hicks, made it lose my vote. I guess I'm an old "prude", but if you are connected to the Royal family, keep your clothes on.

Lovely -
This book beautifully shows how to live your life the island way. There are delicious recipes in here as well as usefull info on how to make your skin flawless, the natural way. This book covers almost everything when it comes to taking care of yourself. I recommed it to all of my friends, and they love the book too.

Why I liked Island Beauty -
This book caught my attention when I first saw it just glancingly
while walking pass the New Arrival section in a library. It was
a spontaneous purchase and I was not disappointed. As an artist
I have an internal vision to produce works of Light and Beauty.
This book could be refered to as its Vision Statement. Everything
about it is an expression of the things needed in a world growing
ever darker. If you need to revitalize your senses this is a book
that speaks to health, beauty, the Sea and the wonder of Island Life that's breath-taking . . .
and above all-else it is a song of Hope.

An intelligent guide -
A few of the photographs are disappointing, but otherwise this is an excellent book.
