This review is from: Beauty by Nature (Paperback)

I picked this book up by curiosity once and found all kinds of things I liked, so of course I had to have it. There are multiple chapters for making all kinds of natural beauty and body care products that are clean, simple and personalized. Included is recipes for lotions, bath salts and soaks, weight loss aids, hair care, eye health and so much more! There's even stuff for men, kids, and babies, so no one gets left out. I like that Briggette hints often at the importance of adding more raw foods in the diet for overall health and beauty (because diet plays a *huge* part in how we look, feel, and act). Overall this book is a wonderful resource for those who want to live more clean and green, or for those who have sensitivities to most products. I would definitely recommend this one.
