For anyone who is wondering how I can write a book review before it's been released I bought this book a few weeks ago during a stay at one of the Champneys resorts!
This book would make a lovely present for anyone who has been to a Champneys resort, would like to go or is just generally interested in health, well-being and pampering.
The book itself is well written and has contributions from nutritionist, chefs and fitness experts. The book is in an easy to follow format and takes an holistic approach to general wellness through what you eat, how you move, loving yourself (not as fluffy and tree-huggy as it sounds!), well-being and escape.
Throughout the book there are quizzes to assess whereabouts you fit into the subject. There are also seasonal tips, monthly suggestions, weekly plans and many many recipes and home beauty treatment suggestions along with exericse ideas and nutritional information. The book is pitched at the right level whether you're new to the idea of health spas, want to learn more about the Champneys experience or just looking for ideas of how to relax and unwind. Definitely worth a read, a coffee table book that you dip in and out of, complimented by beautiful photography.

I read through this book properly over the festive period, determined to have a kind of 'detox' - it's a gem of a book. It covers all aspects of wellbeing, has some lovely recipes to try out and will just inspire you look after yourself that little bit more! Yes some of it is common sense / stuff you will already know, but the way that the book is written and packaged means that it is therapeutic just to flick through, and you can't not feel relaxed by the time you close it.
I tried the 'Restoration Day' in the Autumn section and it was just the tonic I needed. If you have ever been to Champneys or on any kind of spa break, it is a must-have as it will talk you through some of their treatments so that you can re-capture the spa-atmosphere at home. Ok, some of them are fiddly and best left to the pro's, but others do work well even at home. They do push their products (which are mostly lovely anyway, I have tried quite a few) but at the same time show you how to make your own scrubs if you're not willing to spend the money on Champneys goodies, which is a nice touch. Overall a great book!
