My favorite reference.......2006-04-12

This is a crucial tool when you're on a busy shift in the ED. It's a practical reference, not a study guide. A patient comes in with radiation keratitis. Do you use steroid drops? Beats me. Thats when I go to this baby. This is my most used reference. Very well organized and easy to use.

For Medical Students, Physician Extenders and Interns.......2005-03-23

Its an okay book with decent tips and information but its really too brief and should not be relied on solely for information. Its a great book for medical students and starting interns and physician extenders.

Great content, but not pocket-able........2005-03-09

5-min. Emergency has the (very useful) information of a pocket-reference in a non-pocket size. I find the PDA version MUCH more useful on a day-to-day basis. (I use Skyscape's version--I think there are others.) The bulleted, abbreviated style works very well on a PDA screen, and becomes quick and pocketable, something the hardback just can't do.

Simple. Easy........2002-06-25

This is a useful textbook to have as a handy, quick reference. Not optimal for studying or new learning, but a helpful review. The material is thoroughly researched & easily accessible. I give it a "B".

Great Book.......2002-06-19

This is a short-hand, easy to reference version of the full sized Rosen's. It is incredibly useful and easy to use. Great for use in the ED while on a shift or for reading quickly on a subject that you want to learn more about.

Book Description

Good beauty advice is hard to come by these days. Women are constantly inundated with products that promise to remove wrinkles, reduce puffiness, highlight cheekbones, hide blemishes, and make them look younger, healthier, tanner, and even thinner–but do these products really work? Are they worth the time, money, and effort? Carmindy, makeup artist on TLC's popular show What Not to Wear, believes that the secret to a great look is to focus on the positive: learn how to enhance your best natural features with sheer washes of color rather than hide under layers of artificial–looking makeup. In The 5–Minute Face, Carmindy shares her beauty philosophy, offering a practical, easy, and always–successful makeup routine that works for all ages and skin types.

The steps for achieving the five–minute face–from smoothing on foundation, to slicking on lip color–are simple. But as Carmindy demonstrates, many women don't know which product is right for their skin tones, or are clueless on how to apply makeup for optimal results. Throughout every chapter, she provides valuable advice on perfecting the makeup technique that is right for your face, including product tips and accompanying "toolbox" sections that describe which tools to use with each type of makeup.

No matter what your age is, or whether you have porcelain skin or rosacea, Carmindy will help you look fabulous. In addition to the 5–minute makeover, she discusses:

•How to Get Brows That Wow: Learn what brow shape best frames your face

•What's Age Got to Do with It?: Tricks and trade secrets that keep every woman looking beautiful, from teens to women fifty and over.

•Beauty Comes in All Colors: Freckles? Blemishes? Carmindy solves the problems that make finding the perfect makeup for your skin tone difficult. Also includes tips on lash dying for those fair lashes, and lash perming for those who want permanently curled lashes.

•The 10–Minute Face: Carmindy shows how to build on the 5–minute face for special occasions. Everything from sexy dates–looking right in all white at your wedding–to the perfect look for a job interview.

Accompanied throughout by Palma Kolansky's beautiful photography, The 5–Minute Face is every woman's guide to enhancing their unique and beautiful features with the perfect makeup routine.

Customer Reviews:

Great beauty secrets for everyone.......2007-10-09

I have only made it part way through this book so far & I love it. I've already started incorporating some of Carmindy's beauty advice into my daily routine & it is making a difference. My eyes look bigger, my skin looks healthier & I am pleased. I was never taught by my mother how to take care of my skin & apply makeup & I figure I had better get it figured out now so when my daughters grow old enough to wear makeup I can teach them. Plus doing the 5 minute face makes me feel good everyday. So little time & so worth it. Thanks for putting so much info into this book!

Very helpful make up tips.......2007-10-03

Carmindy gives detailed explanations about how to apply any and all make up you could ever need. There are suggestions for every hair color, skin color, age, and special event. The best part about this book is that she provides you with brands, expensive and cheap, and shades that she recommends you to use - not just how to apply the make up.

Delivers what it promises - a simple quick routine.......2007-09-29

This is definitely one of the Better beauty books. It is well organized, easy & quick to read and understand, and covers all the basics. There's even a section for Asian, Olive skin, Mocha skin, etc...which some beauty books skip. There is also a 'buying guide' at the back providing both a $$$ and $ option, bravo!
Could be better: 1. she names the colors she recommends, but a picture of the actual colors would be more helpful. 2. Could use more pics of models with varying combos of eye, skin, and hair color. She had a section for Brunettes, but brunettes could have light or dark eyes, light, medium, or dark skin, etc...I'm sure there're more specific color recommendations for these different combos... instead of just 'pink, peach, rose, ...'for the whole group.

5 Minute makeover.......2007-09-28

This is a fair book for a quick makeover. Not much in depth tho. And certainly not much for anyone over say 45. Very simple ,very quick. Not a lot of color advice except for young perky girls ..

best makeup book I've ever read.......2007-09-27

Got what I was hoping for--a fast easy makeup look that I could do myself. Very clear & simple directions. Particularly liked product specifics (low cost & higher end recommendations).

Alive in 5.......2007-06-14

This is a great book for those who want a quick,healthy meal that looks good and taste YUMM too. Bought this book for my daughter who has been doing the "raw lifestyle" for 2 years now. She loves all the easy to make recipes. Angela Elliott(the Author) makes the process so easy that even a person who can't find herself around the kitchen (like my daughter) could even create a great looking meal. Gourmet without the works. What a concept.
Dr.H

You call this gourmet?.......2007-03-27

I think the title of this book is quite misleading. I'm giving it two stars because I think the author is representing it as something it's not: "gourmet food".

While the recipes are not complicated, most of them are far TOO simple. Over and over, I kept asking myself, "for THIS I need a recipe book??" For example, "Cucumber Pizza", which sounds intriguing, is nothing more than chopped olives on slices of cucumber. "Scrambled Eggs", which sounds like something you wouldn't find in any ordinary raw food recipe book is -- are you ready for this? -- 3 ripe avocados mashed in a bowl, add salt and pepper! The "salad" recipes are the most basic of salads ... if you can chop some vegetables and lettuce into a bowl, add some lemon juice, olive oil and your favorite seasonings, you already know how to make most of the salads in this book.

There are several different nut milk recipes, each with a fancy, delicious-sounding name, but they're all the exact same recipe ... only the kind of nut you use is different.

Many of the recipes call for the pulp left over from making nut milk, and some of the soup recipes require nut milk. So unless you've taken the time to make nut milk, and have saved a supply of the pulp, you're out of luck.

One problem I have with many raw food recipe books is the inordinate amount of nuts, seeds and avocados called for. One recipe in this book calls for 5 avocados to make a dish that serves 3 people (just about all the recipes in the book make 3 servings). A taco recipe calls for 2 cups of soaked sunflower seeds in the pate', plus an avocado in the filling, and another cup of sunflower seeds to make the "sour cream" topping ... serves 3. I don't like gorging on fats, even if they are the healthy kind.

Some recipes call for coconuts, which is a no-go for me, because I don't want to have to deal with cracking coconuts and scraping out the flesh, etc. One recipe (that makes 3 servings) calls for 3 young coconuts.

I'm a big proponent of raw foods, and have a large collection of raw food recipe books. For "quick and simple" recipes, I especially like Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People, by Jennifer Cornbleet. Raw Foods for Busy People by Jordan Maerin is another favorite. But I cannot recommend Alive in 5, for all the reasons mentioned above. Perhaps if it were titled more honestly, something like "Dishes You Really Don't Need a Recipe Book For", I wouldn't have been so disappointed with it. I'm not saying there aren't some tasty combinations of foods in this book, but many of them are just TOO simple. To call it "Gourmet Meals" is misleading.

Positively Transformational Un-Cookbook!.......2007-03-04

I never really liked to 'cook', but this book shows how to make fabulous, healthy food in a jiffy without heating up your kitchen or working up a sweat! I love the unique look, feel and taste of these 'Alive in Five' recipes! Alive in 5: Raw Gourmet Meals in Five Minutes

Delicious gourmet in about 5 minutes.......2007-02-27

Alive in 5: Raw Gourmet Meals in Five Minutes My family and I really love this book.

I think Alive in Five is perfect for anyone,especially if you are a beginner. All the recipes are simple,scrumptious and really only took us about five minutes to make. I have already started to feel more confident in the kitchen.

Book Description

Howard Murad, M.D., the renowned Los Angeles dermatologist, has studied the effects of the environment on skin and aging for almost thirty years. The methods he developed to counteract those effects are packed into this book's simple regimen, which will: -Smooth lines and dryness using fruit acids, such as pome-granate extract -Reverse the sun's effect on skin -Hydrate cells so skin actually becomes softer and plumper -Instruct readers on which supplements to take to help skin appear younger. Though Dr. Murad's own Murad skin care line is hugely popular and available nationwide from retailers such as Nord-stroms and Sephora and other outlets such as individually owned salons and QVC, the program in this book does not rely only on those products. Clear charts that list essential ingredients in the program for various skin types will steer readers to name-brand products at every price point at department and drug stores everywhere.

Customer Reviews:

An esthetician's viewpoint...........2007-05-13

There is a lot of useful information in this book; unfortunately, Dr. Murad promotes HIS products at the expense of others. That said, this book was written by Dr. Murad and is "The Murad Method" for ageless skin. I am sure the folks who sell his line find this book helpful to those purchasing his products.

It does work.......2006-06-06

I found that the book helped break down something so complicated. When you think about all that is out there regarding skin. Q10 this and peptide that. I did not want to do botox or anything like that. I needed something that was clear. While I am not following the diet I have found great results. My skin is smoother, I don't look my age and I love it! It was really an easy commitment to make.

Don't waste your money.......2006-05-25

This is basically a commercial pitch for Dr. Murad's spas and products. Unless you are planning on buying his regime, he gives very, very scant information about how you could accomplish the program using other, less expensive products.
Don't expect an easy how-to giving you day by day advice of supplements and skin care. It's not here. I decided to buy this based on other's good reviews. Now I'm thinking that they were written by employees. I was very disappointed.

this is a good book - no subliminal marketing in my opinion.......2006-02-23

Wow. I have to say that after reading a couple of the other reviews on this book, I see that a few people missed the big picture. As a skin care professional myself, I completely understand why Dr. Murad would make the product recommendations he did in his book - it is because his are really the only formulas available right now that are 'complete' formulas to achieving healthy skin. People nowadays have a plethora of products to choose from...the challenge is, how do they choose the right products for their skin problem. Dr. Murad's approach is logical and medically sound. With the information he provides in his book, consumers will hopefully be able to make a more informed decision when it comes to choosing products for their skin. So, I am giving this book 5 stars. (I stumbled upon this book at my local library.)

Great Read!.......2005-08-13

I really enjoyed reading Wrinkle Free Forever. It has a lot of great information on not only how to treat wrinkles but how to overall just BE healthy. Dr. Murad talks about inclusive health, The Water Principle, and protecting your skin from environmental invaders. It's a simple read and not full of long medical terminology. I totally related to everything Dr. Murad spoke about and his recommendations all made sense!

I've used a lot of low ingredient, low-fat cookbooks, and this is probably the worst food I've ever had in my life. The food literally tastes like vomit on a plate. Please don't buy this. Invest in a better cookbook.

Great Easy Cookbook.......2007-05-07

This is a great, easy cookbook for anyone looking for simple dinner ideas. It does call for some frozen/prepared ingredients (such as diced pre-cooked chicken or frozen chopped onions) but if you want to use fresh ingredients you can, just plan on spending a little more time on the recipe. Most recipes have just a few simple ingredients (never more than 10) and take either 15 minutes of prep time, 15 minutes of cook time, or 15 minutes total time. The barbeque meatloaf is fantastic! The book includes desserts, salads, an extensive meatless entree section, and chicken, beef, and pork options. I haven't made anything out of this cookbook that I didn't like.

My New Favorite Cook Book - the .......2007-04-12

This is the best cookbook I have seen for busy people (who isn't?) who like tasty food but can't spend a lot of time preparing it. I not only use this for my family--I am teaching a weekly cooking class for my grandchildren using this cookbook. They (all 15 of them in the classes) will probably be even busier when they grow up than we are. This book is so well organized. Main dish with vegetable suggestions and recipes both on the same page, plus suggestions for breads and dessert. The recipes give a nice variety of ways to cook common items (chicken, beef, pork, fish--vegetables--desserts) and even includes the grocery list to the right of each recipe. It also has a full color photo of every recipe. I like the fact that the entire meal, not just the main dish is included. I also like the "No-stress shopping list" If you keep this page of items on hand you can cook over 1/3 the recipes in the book. As if that weren't enough--the food is chosen to provide healthy, well balanced meals that taste delicious. A real winner!! (I am a Mom to 9 children--and a grandmother to 38 children)

Excellent Cookbook!.......2007-01-27

A must have for people who enjoy good food but don't have a lot of time to cook. Tons of quick and healthy recipes that taste great. A favorite in our house.

shoulda known.......2007-01-23

I guess I shoulda known that being a 15 minute cookbook it would call for a lot of frozen ingredients. Unless you're Rachel Ray and can cook up a storm in the matter of a few minutes you will definitely need frozen stuff to make a meal in 15 minutes. Wouldn't recommend if you like fresh ingredients.

Keeping the Wrinkles at Bay.......2007-06-08

I first got this brilliant and easy-to-follow book years ago when I didn't have a hint of wrinkles. I used it for a few weeks, then sort of laid it aside. Recently my 80-year-old mother-in-law was in town and was complaining about wrinkles around her mouth. I pulled the book out, showed her some exercises, and she began Within a few days, you could see a difference.

Since I am now mid-50's, I decided to try to get ride of my extra chin and some wrinkles from my mouth to chin. I began this routine and within 2 weeks people are asking questions "what are you doing to look younger", etc. I actually do several of the other exercises as well and my face feels much more elastic and healthy, and is definitely toning up.

I have already given some of these books to some of my massage clients.

Go for it! It works! Connie

Good exercises and a great book .......2006-02-15

This book is easy to understand, it does explain things and how to do the exercises. This is not rocket science, I don't see how other books would be much better. And there is nothing wrong with using a model to show the exercises. Geeezzzz

AWESOME BOOK!.......2004-12-31

This book is very detailed especially the drawings of the face showing you every muscle being worked. I haven't had this book long, but look forward to some very exciting results. If you have just five mins a day this book is for you. I just incorporate it with my daily workouts. Why not workout your face just like you workout your body, it makes perfect sense. Everything the author says about working out your facial muscles like you workout your body's muscles is so true! I have been working out with weights for years and know first hand what good toned muscles can do for your body and it's appearance. So pick up a copy you will be glad you did!

***NOTE*** I have now used the method in this book for awhile and can say it is really making a difference. I started to have slightly saggy eyelids like my father, and this is helping lift that area up very nicesly. I have noticed a huge difference in my chin area as well. The book and instructions are so easy, it only takes five mins a day.I feel I am making a huge investment with my face for the future. Even though I am only 37, I feel it's never too early or late to start. Get this book!!

I have had this book and used it off and on for the last.......2001-12-09

year. One thing that impressed me about this book is that it actually addresses the issue of line formation from doing facial exercises. Thus, it tells you where to place your fingers to prevent the formation of artificial lines. None of the other facercise books or tapes do that. However, you have to picture some of the exercises since the book doesn't explain how to do some of them.

I recommend THIS book along with some type of facercise tape.

Pictures are excellent.......2001-11-29

I love this book because the photographs are so clear. Each exercise shows great pictures: one shows a drawing of the entire head with all the muscles and the targeted ones highlighted, and one photo of the woman's face with lines drawn on the skin showing the targeted muscles, and then the photo(s) of the exercise with a very clear written description. I love it!

Best yoga book I've read so far.......2006-03-16

This book is written for those interested in yoga that suffer from depression and/or anxiety. Also for those wishing to boost their memory and concentration. You can use the poses separately or in the routines they are written in. There are routines for waking up, before bed, during the day and for when you are sad, angry, panicky, need a new perspective, to get unstuck, to feel proud and much more. This is a book you need to own or borrow for a long time until you memorize the moves. This was a very worthwhile read and for now, the best yoga book I've ever read.

I picked this up at the bookstore, mainly because I was looking for a beginner's guide to yoga, and this seemed to fit the bill. The routines are simple and I really like the author's reassuring tone. The fact that the routines can also be done in as little as 5 minutes is also a big plus.

finally qigong for real people.......2003-09-03

I wanted to learn qigong but all the books, classes, and videos were waaaaaaaaaay too complicated. I didn't want to be a "master" I just wanted some help with grounding my nervous system. This program of 5 elements was JUST what I was looking for!! Easy to learn and I do it EVERY DAY for five minutes and I feel sooooooo much better!! I can wake up grumpy and achy and after doing 5 element qigong for 5 minutes I'm all put back together. It's a great book. Easy to follow. thanks!!!

I am in my late sixties and with these easy to follow instructions I can set my own pace in learning the movements, step by step. Jamie Moffet's Five Element Qigong exercises are a wonderful way to energize my body and set a positive mental attitude to approach my daily activities. And I love that.
