Babushka's Beauty Secrets: Old World Tips for a Glamorous New You

Product Information

Now everyone can discover the all-natural, better-than-Botox secrets the Hollywood stars use to shine on the red carpet! In the eyes of a Russian babushka, you are always thin and sickly, and she will keep adding food to your plate until you literally turn into a penguin. The only thing is some of them are quite messy and don't travel well, so you have to commit to working with them at home. I've been reviewing books, DVD's CD's, and products for almost 6 years now and enjoy the opportunity to provide quality honest reviews for my readers.

Many babushkas lived through the hungry postwar years or experienced food shortages at other times, and for them bread has an almost sacred significance. Raisa Ruder, a Ukrainian esthetician, has taken her grandmother’s natural beauty recipes out of the cupboard to make women such as Madonna, Tyra Banks and Molly Simms red-carpet ready.then I wonder if that is fair as just because I did not find it useful, maybe millions of others will and because I do not like something does not mean something is necessarily bad. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. I am not a condiment person (ick), but if that actually works without making my legs look like a pair of chubby yellow kindergarten Crayolas - I am so THERE. Not only did I learn cool recipes, but I know now why each one works the way it does, because the reason you're using it is explained in the recipe.

In the Ukraine, Ruder's grandmother passed down to her secrets for making facials out of fruit, milk, herbs, and tea. I haven't had time to really sit down and read this book but I have looked through it and I am excited to try some of the beauty secrets as they look like they would actually work!

I love all genres of books and have refused to pick just specific categories as I have found that I would have missed out on some great products by doing that. I would love what to do with these beauty marks (wrinkles) of age would do at this point in life with a new trick or technique. Esthetician to the stars Raisa Ruder learned her time-tested beauty techniques from her Ukrainian grandmother (or babushka, as they say in the old country). I liked the idea of her apple and butter solution for lips until I realized I was supposed to massage my pout with a slice of apple for five minutes before bed. It's taken me awhile to post this review, not because the book has so many great and simple recipes to use, but because my oldest teenage daughter and her friends have been experimenting with this book and they absolutely love the ideas contained within the pages.

Content is poor-written or has so many characters the reader is helplessly lost or ideas that confuse the reader to the point they simply want to throw the book away. If you like using natural products, saving money, and reusing and recycling – then you'll want to get your hands on a copy of this book. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Ruder covers everything from acne, fine lines, adding body to your hair, to whipping up your own self tanner.
