About this ebook
“Simple Pleasures has become my go-to book for remembering to slow down and enjoy the little things in life.” —Becca Anderson, bestselling author of Badass Affirmations, The Book of Awesome Women, and more
An abundant sourcebook of ideas, encouraging quotes, recipes, and soothing activities
Simple Pleasures of the Garden shows you how to appreciate the simple things within your daily activities. The secret to living well year round can be found in the abundance of your home garden, so get to planting those seeds of simple joys and herbal healing!
Nurture your mind, body, and soul. Sometimes finding the positive can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be. From the recipe for a homemade herbal bath for a spa day to quick and easy recommendations for an instant room makeover, the suggestions and home recipes collected in this book offer a new appreciation for the everyday activities that nurture and comfort you.
Simplify your emotional self care. Taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be expensive, unrealistic, or inaccessible. It can be as easy as tending to a green garden, making healing herbal tonics, sipping calming teas, or spending time with other natural energy boosters. Pleasures are made, not bought, so unlock new secrets to happiness with these touching stories, practical tips, and satisfying crafts.
Inside this positive attitude book you’ll find:
- Ways to decorate your home with nature crafts, growing herbs, and an air of magic
- Advice on how to foster a routine for a rejuvenating self care year
- Tips on how to become the gardener of your moods and emotions
If you liked seasonal self care books like A Year of Self-Care, Grow Your Own Medicine, or A Woman’s Garden, you’ll love Simple Pleasures of the Garden.
Susannah Seton
Susannah Seton is the author of the Simple Pleasures series, which includes titles such as Simple Pleasures of the Home, Simple Pleasures for the Holidays and 365 Simple Pleasures. When Seton was young, she would listen to her grandparents tell stories of when they were young, and the fun they would have even though all the stories were based around the simplest actions: new recipes they would make in a new house, road trips, early mornings by the water, and so much more. This made Seton realize that it wasn’t what we had, but our mindsets that made life enjoyable. Seton began writing the Simple Pleasures series with one goal in mind: to remind her readers that even the smallest things in life can bring us immense joy. She currently lives in Berkeley, California, with her husband and daughter.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5OK, I gave this one 5 stars because I have a story published in it. :-) Page 74 contains my short story "Summer Salad" and it was my first published piece.Honestly, if I didn't have my own story in it I wouldn't have this book. Similar to the Chicken Soup or Cupful books it is a feel-good anthology - just with recipes.
