Mango Citrus Body Butter Recipe It’s time to review our very first Garden Therapy Book Club book, A Green Guide to Natural Beauty: 35 step-by-step projects for homemade beauty by Karen Gilbert. There are many different types of books we will be looking at in Book Club, but when the book is DIY or project-based, then the best way to test it out is to give the projects a try. As the title suggests, A Green Guide to Natural Beauty boasts 35 different natural beauty projects, which made it very appealing given that I’ve been aiming to make as many of my bath and body products as I can. As part of the Natural Skincare Series I’ve shared recipes and tutorials for soap, scrubs, and bath products all made with natural ingredients, and where possible ingredients from my garden. First and foremost this book is beautiful. The photography is stunning and while those who love lots of bright colour may find the pages a tad on the beige side.

whipped shea butter lotion DIY | nataJane There is a saying about beauty products that goes something like, “Don’t put anything on your skin that you couldn’t eat.” In the days of organic food, BPA free containers and chemical free beverages, we appear to be very careful with what we put into our bodies, however we often turn a blind eye to the chemicals that enter our bodies through our skin. I hadn’t given this too much thought until I received a book called There’s Lead in Your Lipstick. I have been so careful to eliminate poisons from my food supply, but I was still using comercial skincare products that contained extremely toxic chemicals. Reading about this stuff makes me both angry and depressed, so I’m going to skip the gory details and get to the good stuff- the following is a chemical free lotion that is actually GOOD for your body and you can make it yourself! This recipe has four ingredients, and works better than many other lotions I’ve used in the past. Shea Butter Lotion

Meditation: The Science of the Inner. Osho Meditation Techniques If you want to live a more fulfilled life, first you will want to know your potential, who you really are. Meditation is the route to that knowing. It is the methodology of the science of awareness. The beauty of the inner science is that it enables whoever wants to explore and to experiment within, to do so alone. This eliminates dependence on an outer authority, the need to be affiliated with any organization and the obligation to accept a certain ideology. Once you understand the steps, you walk the walk in your own, individual way. Many meditative techniques require one to sit still and silent. Osho Active Meditations have been scientifically designed by Osho over a period of time to enable us to consciously express and experience repressed feelings and emotions, and learn the knack of watching our habitual patterns in a new way. But what is meditation exactly?
