book sale review:
book arrived as promised . and as written. My daughter in law is into all the "green" and natural and will love this for xmas
Excellent choice!:
This book is what I wanted and more! Love it! Came to find out that the author is local and I may be able to take a class also!
Very thoughtful with great recipes:
I've only used several of the recipes in this book but I can say that it truly is a gem. I've suffered from acne my whole life and after using the grapeseed oil Falconi recommends my skin is less oily and better controlled than when I was using salicyclic acid and benzoyl peroxide twice a day so just based on that triumph this book is worth buying. If you are at all interested in natural health care definitely check this out. (It's cheaper and better quality that what you will find at LUSH.)
