About this title

About the Author:

This is Marlene Jones first full-length book but she has been writing professionally since 2001 right after leaving journalism school. Over the years, she has written pieces on a variety of subjects, focusing especially on issues of health and wellness related to low-income and minority communities.

Her interest in all things natural sparked in 2005 after the birth of her first child and after being prompted by her older sister s quests to eliminate synthetic and chemical-laden products from her diet and cosmetics. Marlene's upbringing in Kenya is also a major source for learning how to be one with nature. She continues to learn the many different aspects of natural living and uses her platform as a journalist to inform others about the benefits available. When Marlene is not writing and researching, she is parenting her precious three babies, dabbling in politics, traveling the world, and working hard to be active.

Review:

The Complete Guide to Creating Oils, Soaps, Creams, and Herbal Gels for Your Mind and Body covers information on aromatherapy and provides many recipes for product making as well as presents information on extraction of oils, diffusion, carrier oils, essential oils, recipes for home use, bath salts, making soap, and beauty and wellness treatments. The book is interesting, well written, and recommended as a basic text for learning how to safely and effectively use essential oils for many different situations. --Jeffrey Schiller - Making Scents Magazine
