Rating : - Caution on some of the details
Of the four recipes that I tried, one was easy and very successful (Tub Tea - page 87)
Another seems that it will work OK; haven't tried it yet (Bath salts - page 93).
One more was difficult at first, but I eventually managed to get a satisfactory product out of it (fizzy bath tabs - page 65; I don't recommend trying to use molds; just shape the stuff into balls and call it a day).

The last one, "Lake Shore Bath Beads," was a beast and an impossible dream (p. 95). It sounded so simple. I followed the recipe exactly as to portions and tried combining the ingredients three different ways. They all ended up like thick soup, nothing that I could mold or shape into small bath beads. It seems that ¼ C. rosewater is far too much. I tried ¼ tsp., but that was too little. Should it be 1 T.? I hate to waste more of my supplies just trying other combinations.

If you continue to produce the little book, you really should take a look at that recipe and adjust or adapt it, if you want your readers/experiments to feel successful. I expended close to $10 worth of materials on that one, to achieve zero results.
