Also, essential oils were mentioned in several of the recipes, which are not cheap. If you're making your own cleaning products to save money, adding essential oils likely negates the savings. That being said - a lot of things did not add up with the author's story. I have found that in a lot of these "books that should be a blog post," the author talks about their history with debt / financial hardship and then conveniently glosses over how they got out of that situation. In this case, it seems to be just a hefty emergency fund that got them through the hard times, but how did they acquire that emergency fund in the first place? How did they get out of the debt? Dave Ramsay is mentioned, but his tips are sort of copy-pasted into the book. If you are reading this book because you can't pay your bills - you are going to focus on lowering your debt before amassing an emergency fund to get your head above water. While the author suggests that a couple should rent a studio apartment to get by, the author was renting a nice farmhouse during supposed times of hardship. I found it hard to take this seriously. If you've every read Kate's books, then you know it's like talking to a friend. Her writing style is very conversational and easy to follow. One of the recipes is for homemade mascara, which I would be dubious about anyway, but it suggests adding drops of lavender essential oil. This stuff is going to go on your eyelashes -near your eyes...and there's nothing that says this will be helpful, either. What can I say...I'm a huge Kate Singh fan! I love her books and her YouTube channel and feel like she has a lot of practical wisdom. Her family lives on a small income, but very abundantly, and that's inspiring to me.
