A little gem of a book. Tiny guide in the world of most known essential oils, it tells us their origin, use and legend. Beautifully illustrated. Every article contains 30 to 35 words only, however, these are the very informative words. Delicious bonus at the end of the book - recipes and astrological energies.

I guess you could say I’m as bookish as one can get. I was with my mom & sister in Urban Outfitters today and I was browsing their bookshelves while my sister was trying on clothes. I decided to read this tiny little book about essential oils and read just about the entire thing. It was an extremely easy read because there were only tiny blurbs about each plant or oil and contained some pictures. This book is obviously geared towards people that regularly use and believe in the power of essential oils and possibly just a book for a coffee table. I enjoyed the art style of the pictures and I did like reading about what each thing is used for. But overall, this was not my cup of tea. Rating: 3 ⭐️
