Books

I still love books.  I have discovered that I could reserve books online from the whole library system and pick them up at my local library, so I usually have a huge stack of books that I'm reading all at the same time.
 As you may expect a lot of these books are on art and craft.  I also have developed an interest in natural beauty books and have found some that I love. I figure that any book that I would consider actually buying must be worth recommending!

So this book is called Green Beauty Recipes by Julie Gabriel.  Right at this moment I'm trying her "milk and yeast lifting mask" (on my face!)  It's supposed to make a big difference in over-30 skin when used twice a week for 2 months +.  I'll let you know how it goes.
My plan is to plant an herb garden and create my own little mixtures for skin and hair. 

Do you have any favorite natural beauty secrets? Or favorite books?
