Love these, came up while looking for a fish name!=======================================If you are organising a funeral for a member of your family, or a much-loved friend, you will want their farewell to be personal to them; a celebration of their life. You also want it to be dignified, but not at an extraordinary cost to you or the environment. Eco Coffins are a new type of cardboard coffin. They are modern, strong (up to 20 stone) and can be colourful. They can also be plain cardboard, a more traditional wood grain, or they can look like nothing you’ve ever seen; because you will be able to design your own. We even have a coffin you can decorate yourself. They are 100% environmentally friendly, made from 90% recycled rigid honeycomb cardboard (RHC). What was once accepted is no longer acceptable. We believe funerals are changing and we want you to share in our knowledge and experience of saying goodbye.

Gone are the days when the Spa was a bare utilitarian swimming pool or perhaps a fitness center with rows of equipment designed by the Spanish Inquisition. This is a book showing the untimate in today's Spa's from all over Europe, all over the US, and from selected locations in India, Thailand, Japan and other countries.To be sure, the Spa is still very water oriented. Here are the pools you'd expect, the hot tubs, thermal baths, but also reflecting pools, fountains -- And yes, even some of the inquisition equipment.More important though, here are the most advanced building designs, artistic but still waterproof, lighting that is a part of the design, all arranged to create an ambiance that serves to relax and invigorate the visitor. All of this is depicted with supurb photography, high quality printing on heavy weight paper, and traditional sewn binding with headbands. This is an idea book based on today's most advanced designs.

Salons and Spas: The Architecture of Beauty

This is most evident by noting the amazing transformation of what was once the corner "beauty shop" into the amazing spaces that are now called salons and day spas and are being designed by some of the world’s hottest designers and architects. Providing a serene atmosphere that pampers and relaxes is as important for success as the products and services these retreats offer. Clients’ demands are not just to look beautiful when they leave but also to feel beautiful when they are there.The salons and spas that can provide this perceived sense of beauty prove to be the most successful. These pages provide an inside look at the most elegant and appealing spas to the hippest beauty shops.
