Working mothers, career women, and stay-at-home moms, all need to hear they have, “permission to nap.” A nap nourishes the mind, body, and spirit, allowing a woman to return to her busy day, renewed and refreshed. Chapter by chapter, she’s shown how to layer each of the five senses. Every month, luxurious nap recipes list aromatherapy ideas, suggestions for opulent linens, comforting beverages, and meditative music and books to help begin creating her new healthy ritual for life.
Witty quotes by famous female authors encourage these tired women to reflect inward and regain harmony in their lives. Artists of the Rococo, Pre-Raphaelite, and Impressionist periods also give them “permission” in their masterpieces by showing other women resting, reading, or sipping tea. Meant to be cherished and referenced time and again, this gentle guide, enhanced with antique botanical illustrations and beautiful, four-color masterpieces, makes for a beautiful gift for any busy woman.
Permission to Indulge: “The craftsmanship of the book is as impressive as the words and art contained. Napping promotes health and happiness and yet so many of us feel guilty to indulge. I know I do. This book not only explains why one should nap using some interesting supporting stories and history, but it puts you in the right mood to nap. This book is the kind you would find in an upscale spa or salon and makes for a very enjoyable break. I know I would have a cool friend if I saw this on his/her coffee table.”
