This book is so cute! It’s all handwritten with cute doodles on every page. It’s divided into three parts: Healing, cleaning, and gardening. Some of this is a little too hippie dippy for me, but I took notes for the very basic bits. I’m not going to start making my own pain-relief tea and shampoo any time soon, but I will certainly make some of the environmentally safe cleaning supply recipes.

She’s also written a bunch of little zines that are more in-depth on some of these topics — making your own soap, preserving food, mending clothes — and I am just so happy that these exist.

From Genre Kryptonite: Books about Nesting at Book Riot.

Didn't really connect with this like I thought I would.

The Gospel of Wellness is exactly the book I've been looking for! I love the way Rina Raphael breaks down every aspect of the privilege involved in modern wellness, especially when it comes to food choice and time for rest or exercise.
