Inhaltsangabe

Peaceful prose and classic images of women in repose initiate the harried into the sweet secret of living well-the afternoon nap. Working mothers, career women and stay-at-home moms all need encouragement to care for their well-being and happiness with a few minutes of downtime. This lovely gift book not only tells them it's ok, but also shows them how even the shortest siesta can be filled with delights-scents, sounds, flavors, fabrics-that leave a woman refreshed and renewed.

This will be the first book to:
--Show how to create a personal ritual for relaxation, including luxurious locations for napping and techniques for slowing down into rest
--Involve all the senses for improved harmony in life, including aromatherapy, massage and meditation techniques, sounds such as fountains, chimes and music, tactile comforts such as sheets and blankets
--Recommend affordable napping indulgences, including hot and iced soothing beverages, eye pillows and other comfort enhancers
--Encourage women to adopt napping as a lifestyle habit, showing them how to organize their lives to accommodate a nap
--Educate the harried that napping increases good health, for example, adequate sleep has been linked to longevity
--Overcome guilt by providing valid reasons to nap

Like our French sisters, who enjoy a 35-hour work week, or in Spain, where a siesta is a must, we can come to enjoy, embrace and revel in a little lovely shut-eye.
