Another fabulous book from Kim Barnouin, I truly appreciate the research she did to write this one. I had never thought about all of the chemicals lurking in my home and the book provides insight and solutions to all things toxic. I really appreciated the section on beauty products, it's unbelievable what is lurking in an innocent looking tube of lipstick. Thanks to this book I will be able to clean out my home and get rid of the products I had lying around that are potentially harmful. After reading this you will understand how to rid your furniture of nasty chemicals, clean out your old stash of harmful beauty products, create your own compost bin and grow an organic garden (even with limited space!). I highly recommend this helpful book.

I didnt love Skinny Bitch. But this book is pretty eye opening and already I am making small changes in my life: changing my sponges (biodegrable now), new soap for my daughter, different face cream for myself, using white vinegar to clean windows, and considering others. I have recommended it to other people too. Its a book that is not a cover to cover read, but rather something to look through before bed or on the throne :)

Buy This Book!!! Best Purchase Ever, Dec 5 2011

So I'm a pretty healthy girl, but I had NO idea what creepy stuff was lurking in my home, beauty products, my BED, and other totally obvious places. Kim gives it straight, with no BS, which I love. I've heard about some of the concerns mentioned in this book, but she does a really good job of explaining things in a simple way (while also backing things up with research). I LOVE the Skinny Bitch books and this is just another great example of why we need to get our homes clean (in addition to our bodies!). I also found her website [...], that talk about all this kind of stuff as well - super helpful for me personally and if you want to learn more about these topics. Definitely don't regret buying this book. I think everyone can benefit from it.
