What a great magazine! It's beautiful and informative! This is my first issue and I was pleasantly surprised. The articles have practical advice like how to make natural cleaners. There is a soap recipe that I, as a beginner, would like to try and think I could make. The i instructions are easy read and understand. I will need to purchase some of the ingredients in the recipes since I am just starting my herb gardens. It will give me a chance to try the herbs before I invest the time to grow them. All of the drink, soap, cleaning recipes use common herbs so I can grow them if I like the recipes. Thank you for such a beautiful, fun, informative magazine. I will be purchasing the next edition!
