Praise for Organic Beauty With Essential Oil:

"Smart and easy recipes.  Just love this book , makes life easy.  Good recipes to follow and also healthy.  So I don't have to waste my money buying stuff full of chemicals. I just make them myself with organic ingredients"-Shirlmore, Amazon Reviewer
  
"I recently opened my own massage business. What I wanted to do was offer a service where I could use organic, soothing oils and lotions that would rejuvenate and refresh my clients all while allowing their bodies to absorb essential nutrients. Sure, I found products I could buy at stores that promised the same effects for a lot more money, but I would end up losing more then I was gaining.  Then I found this book. I don't know what I would've done without it. It was literally everything I was looking for. I was able to create all different types of massage oils: lemon-aloe, grape-fruit honey, the list goes on!. The best thing was that all these ingredients barely cost me anything! And I have so much fun experimenting with different ingredients! My clients love it and my business is booming! Couldn't have done it without this."-DJesus, Amazon Reviewer
  
"I've recently been having an issue with my body lotion and the soap I've been using. Every time I would get out the shower I'd itch and it was because the soap was too harsh on my skin and would remove all the natural oil from my body!  Thank god for Rebecca Totilo. The best part is that the book doesn't just stop at teaching you how to make your own soaps or body wash, you can also make your own mouthwash (the spearmint-aloe is INCREDIBLE) and lip balm! Literally everything that author Rebecca Totilo writes about are products that leave you feeling refreshed, clean and completed renewed! Now I'm itch free and loving my yogurt walnut facial scrub and my Rosewater night cream. Greatest book ever! Kid you not!"Charlie "Reuben", Amazon Reviewer
  
"How cool! Organic Beauty With Essential Oil made me a hero. My wife, who is into natural products and essential oils, has been hounding me to move away from "unnatural" remedies. Well...imagine her surprise when I came home with this book and was able to share with her some things she didn't know. Now she's confiscated the book and has fallen in love with the wealth of knowledge that is contained in the pages. Rebecca has a potential best seller on her hands and for those interested in a better life this is a must read!"-Chuck Gallagher, Amazon Reviewer
  
"This is a wonderful book and a superb guide to essential oils. The writer was very thorough and included recipes for skin, hair,mouth, feet, hands - let me say for every part of the body. The recipes are also easy to follow and come from things that are already in the home for eg., apple cider vinegar, mint leaves and witch hazel to name a few. I am new to making cosmetics so I wanted a book that would guide me to the use of the various essential oils - this book did not disappoint! All I wanted to know about essential oils was there. I can now tell the difference between fragrance oil and pure essential oil and also how to use them for my health and skin care. This book is a classic, a must have for everyone who wants to get in the organic skin care. Beautifully written and so easy to work with. It is one of my favourites."-Esther, Amazon Reviewer

I want to start this review by stating that there are 400+ recipes in this book. They are all homemade as well. I have wanted to make my own soap for years, I even have molds somewhere in my craft closet. I was unable to find an easy recipe. This book solved that problem. The recipes have a few ingredients and only a few steps. They are easy to follow and they are fast to do. Since I started this blog I wanted to make my own bath products as well. What better way to save money? You also know exactly what is in the products you are using. I thought that it was a great way to control scent as well. If your nose is sensitive then you just add less of the scented oils. 
These are a few of my favorite recipes:
PMS Bath Oil, enough said... lol
Sunburn Healing Spray
Herb Garden Splash
Strawberries and Cream Facial Mask
Cool Mint Lip Balm
There is also an intro chapter that helps you get familiar with all the terms. I really liked this book and I can not wait to try some of these recipes. I am also going to be making some items to give away as a gift. The book also had color illustrations. I am going to start with lavender. I am giving this book  5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
