Another great book by Diane Kidman.

I had been considering going no 'poo (no shampoo) for awhile. I've been developing allergies to a lot of chemicals, including those used in shampoo. This book gave clear instructions (as well as variations) on just how to go about it. There are also great recipes for various hair rinses & styling products all using natural products & herbs. One reviewer was correct in pointing out that there is no mention of how hard water might affect natural hair cleansing, therefore I suggest doing additional research if you do have hard water. Aside from that issue, this book is a must-have for those wanting to move towards a lifestyle that utilizes less chemicals.

This is a truly wonderful book for those interested in using herbalism as medicinal tea. Note: the author does provide a disclaimer that you should check with your doctor before utilizing any of the teas to treat specific medical issues, especially if you are taking prescription medications. That said, the herbs are listed alphabetically and there is a thorough description of what each herb may be used for. There are also interesting notes about the herbs that provide background or unusual tidbits about the herb. While the author occasionally mentions herbal tea blends throughout the book, the one thing I would like to have seen would be a section listing various herbal blends. Overall, this book is an excellent resource & I highly recommend it!

*Note: I was provided a free copy by the author in exchange for an honest review.*

Beauty Gone Wild is a good resource for those looking to cut out chemicals in their beauty routine. The book is well written with Diane Kidman's signature sense of humor spread throughout the chapters. There are recipes for everything from hairspray to deodorant to perfume. Most of the recipes are easily accessible. I would like to have seen more variety in the skin care methods. I have very sensitive facial skin, and sensitive skin was very rarely mentioned. That aside, I am a fan of Ms. Kidman's books and highly recommend Beauty Gone Wild.

Great book for those into growing herbs and making their own medicines. I bought this book for my daughter-in-law also. I plan to purchase her other books.

it seemed to much like one of those weird holistic books. I was expecting more of a "this is the health benefits you get when you drink...." not "make a brew and put it on a amputated limb...it will grow back" sort of thing. Readers beware of the holistic trend ever so popular right now as it is not regulated by anything. My daughter is currently detoxing from herbs and supplements she was ingesting is mass amounts as it was making her very sick. There are people out there who have no clue what they are doing and in turn, hurting people.

I received this ebook in return for a honest review. I'm new to making the smoothie so this book was great. It had lots of informative information. Lots of different recipes to try. I can't wait to go to the grocery and make some of these!
