Make Your Place: Affordable, Sustainable Nesting Skills by Raleigh Briggs

3.0

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.
