Almond Eyes, Lotus Feet
Another interruption in bringing you my tutorial! I was browsing through Amazon.com and I came across the following book.


Let me start off by saying that I haven't read the book and it doesn't have the "peek inside the book" option I love so much on. To make matters worse, there are no reviews. However, the title itself is so enticing that I wanted to blog about it. The book says that it is about Indian traditions in health and beauty. Sounds quite interesting, as I've been looking for a good book about desi beauty traditions. If anyone has read this book, please let me know what it is like. I am dying of curiosity but I don't have time to read extra books at this moment.

The Book of Natural Skin Care by Supara Trikha
This book I have heard of, and, even better, I own it to boot. I've had it for quite a while and it has some great natural remedies and has an index with a brief description of natural ingredients beneficial to the skin. There are times where I raise my eyebrow in question, or even in squeamishness, because she recommends using sperm, yes you heard that, as an under-eye treatment. I'm not too sure I would ever do that, but her other tips, such as her papaya face mask or her strawberry face mask, are great. I must add that these tips are similar to the many books by desi authors on natural skin care. If you've read any such book, you'll find the approach Suparna Trikha takes very familiar.
