Her other book, "Natural Beauty at Home", is a MUCH better book, with the same easy and simple instructions, and realistic materials. Ideas like oatmeal masks, potpurri, and soap that are not hard to do, and not pricey. I highly recommend this one over "Natural Beauty for All Seasons".I live in this book, I have owned it for almost a year and still find new recipes that are wonderful. For those people with sensitive skin, this is a must. My friends are always asking me to make them face scrubs and lotions.This is the second book I have purchased by this author. She has inspired me to create more beauty products for myself and ideas on how to make creative gifts for my family and friends for the upcoming holidays. I'm always concerned when i give home-made gift that they may look cheap as presents, she has many ideas to make them look better than the store bought ones. I'm ready to go to some antique stores and look for bottles, baskets and etc. The recipes are simple and easy to make. I will be experimenting alot.I have enjoyed all of Janet Cox's books although this is the only one I own (the rest I borrowed). The recipes are easy, the ingredients easy to find at grocery or natural food stores, or online. I would give this a five star rating except for the recipes which call for petroleum based products (and there are a few in everyone of her books) and the fact that some of the lip balms harden when they cool to the point of dragging at your lips. Easy enough to fix (simply remelt and add more oil to the mix until you are happy with the final product). Overal very enjoyable reading and gift giving.I love this book! I just recently started making my own products, but some books I looked at had things that were too much of a pain to bother with. But this book is excellent. The recipes are easy and fun to make, and the ingredients are easily obtainable. The gift giving ideas are great, and it has just been a wonderful resource. I will definately be purchasing her other books!
