An abundant sourcebook of ideas, encouraging quotes, recipes, and activities, Simple Pleasures shows you how to appreciate the simple things that make up your daily life.

Make your self-care easy. Sometimes positive thinking can be hard, but it doesn't have to be. From the recipe for a homemade herbal bath to quick and easy recommendations for an instant room makeover, the suggestions collected in this book offer a new appreciation for the everyday activities that nurture and comfort you.

Inside Simple Pleasures, find motivational tips and learn how to:

• Make your own perfume and body lotion
• Create old fashioned sachets
• Bake the world's best cookies

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.
