Best selling author Kathy Lette has teamed up with Radox to pen ‘All Steamed Up’, a brand new water resistant book that women can read whilst letting of steam – literally, in a bubble bath.

The water resistant novella, dedicated to ‘all stressed women everywhere’, was written as part of the Radox ‘Be Selfish’ campaign, and from the 4^th September will be available free HERE! The story has been specially written in four parts, so that if a full on soak is not achievable the plot can be picked up at a later ‘selfish’ date.

The Radox Be-Selfish campaign, launched in June 2009, aims to change the negative perceptions of being selfish. Research* conducted by Radox found that the average British women spends 21 years of her life looking after other people, and only three on herself. This has resulted in 63% of women admitting to ‘boiling over’ on a regular basis, a condition labelled Vesuvius Syndrome**. 

Radox hopes the new ‘Be-Selfish’ campaign will galvanise women to take time, and have a Selfish hour. Marianne McGoldrick, Marketing Manager for Radox explains: “Being Selfish doesn’t only mean ‘at the expense of others’ like it used to; it’s about doing something positive for you. Nowadays a little bit of ‘tending to yourself’ guarantees a stronger, calmer more effective and efficient you; and surely that is better for all concerned?”

Kathy Lette explains her decision to join the campaign and write the novella: “When Radox approached me to write a water resistant book which women could read whilst letting off steam – literally in a bubble bath – it resonated with a theme I’ve often addressed in my books i.e. that being selfish and taking time out for you is so much cheaper than a divorce or a nervous breakdown.

She continues, “I hope the book will give women the green light to take some selfish time. It’s ‘superwoman’ tough to manage working, babies, running a house, bringing up children, making fairy costumes and whipping up gourmet spectaculars while also remaining svelte, sensuous and hot to trot. The only way to avoid boiling over, is to take a selfish break every day”. 

‘All Steamed Up’ is a comedic take on all those Vesuvial moments in a woman’s life, from pregnancy to the agonies of childbirth, the mind numbing tedium of looking after small children and the chaos of trying to juggle kids and career without dropping anything - to the indifference of busy husbands and finally the ironical heartache of empty nest syndrome. The story finds Katie Love escaping into a bubble bath and talking to the tap as the only way to stay a float.

All Steamed Up is a tool that permits women to let the reality cheque bounce, run a bath, lock the door, lie back and relax in selfish bliss for ten minutes.

Marianne McGoldrick, Marketing Manager Sara Lee explains, “We wanted to work with Kathy Lette because she is a woman’s woman and understands what makes them tick; what annoys them, makes them laugh, and most importantly what makes them Vesuvial. We feel there is no better author to encourage women to put themselves first every once in a while, to take some time out and Be Selfish. As Kathy says herself ‘a woman can have it all –just not all at once”.
