Emily's conversational tone is more like chatting with an old friend over coffee than reading a "how-to" guide, and her directions are so simple to follow that anyone can start making their own natural products immediately. She includes her own personal experiences along with thoroughly researched information, so you can rest assured that every recipe is safe as Emily has tested and used every one of them in her own life. She practices what she preaches, and makes it easy for readers to do the same. If you are looking to reduce your dependence on chemicals and feel better, save some money, or both, you can't go wrong with Emily's guides." Jen Shoemaker, Editor |
