Romancing the ordinary - Sarah Ban Breathnach

By treating yourself to citrus-scented baths, a thrilling novel, rich moist brownies, deep crisp snow, freshly-laundered linen, glamorous high heels, cashmere socks, heart-breaking old films, red wine in front of the fire . . . ROMANCING THE ORDINARY will show you how to seduce the most important person in your life - yourself. Women are endowed not with five senses but with seven, writes Sarah Ban Breathnach. With the help of ROMANCING THE ORDINARY readers can rediscover sight, sound, scent, taste and touch, and come to cherish their sense of 'knowing' - a woman's intuitive sense - and 'wonder', her sense of rapture and reverence. Writing in the style so beloved by her millions of readers, Ban Breathnach encourages each woman to discover what moves her to tears, makes her heart skip a beat, and her soul sigh. ROMANCING THE ORDINARY is organised as a saunter through the year and laced with seasonal indulgences intended to restore weary feminine souls - flamboyant recipes, pampering beauty treatments, sensuous treats and household hints. By encouraging her to delight in the often overlooked gifts of every day - from the secret pleasure of wearing sexy seamed tights under sensible trousers to the sensation of lying in a warm bed listening to the rain - ROMANCING THE ORDINARY is sure to help every woman fall passionately in love with Life.
