Have you ever gotten so many massages and spa treatments in a row that you start to feel punchy? Have the endorphins ever taken over our body so that you're walking around in a sea of bliss for days at a time? Well, this is what happened to me while I was researching The Royal Treatment: How You Can Take Home the Pleasures of the Great Luxury Spas. I don't say this to make you jealous, but to encourage you to devise some way in your life to receive as much healthy pleasure as possible. In fact, that's the secret agenda beneath the fluffy "how to give your boyfriend a papaya facial" motif of the book!

Throughout the book, I give you the simple skills and ingredients necessary for recreating the luxuries and pleasures of spas in your own home. It really is easy. If a dummy like me can do it, anybody can. And if you're a skilled therapist, you'll be able to get some insider spa tips from this book too as I visit the treatment rooms of the top U.S. spas and explain how the experts do it.

I believe everyone deserves to visit a great spa at least once in life. And the day spas that are cropping up all over the place make it possible for many of us to visit close-to-home spas more often. Best of all, you can enjoy the spa treatments in The Royal Treatment book on a daily basis at home. This healthy pleasurable lifestyle is what I hope to inspire you to achieve for yourself. In fact, it's my official motto (which you are free to quote if you'd like):

"Love yourself. Be good to yourself. Give yourself The Royal Treatment."
