I’ve been seeing a lot of talk recently about Essential Oils and I am interested in learning more about natural alternatives to medicine, beauty products and more. What I’ve been looking for though is non-branded information about it as most of what I see floating around is also pushing sales.
Looking through DK’s Start Fresh Boutique I came across an interesting title, Natural Beauty, and it really caught my eye.

From the review of this book on Natural Beauty, I think it would really help us make some of our own natural products. I think this would be a useful craft to learn. Thank you for telling us about it.
