The Pretty Zen Collection Coming March 6th 2018

You guys!
So excited to be able to finally share all about the beautifully curated collection of books I’ve been working on, called Pretty Zen.

What is Pretty Zen you ask?

The Pretty Zen Philosophy is deeply rooted in finding, balancing and maintaining wholesome beauty in a modern world. Part philosophy, part lifestyle, Pretty Zen takes natural healing modalities, Eastern philosophies, integrative nutrition, and an overall holistic approach to wellbeing and applies them to a modern way of life. A natural outlook with an underlying belief that there may be no greater pursuit than a life well loved.

The sound beauty nutrition principles at the core of the Pretty Zen philosophy and the beauty-boosting recipes in the books will help your body detox, repair, and prepare for your most radiant self. INSIDE and OUT. That’s why I’ve devoted one volume on Eating for beauty and the other for natural homemade beauty

75 simple recipes for all-natural homemade beauty products

Tired of wondering exactly what went into her beauty products, holistic health and wellness coach Jules Aron decided to make her own. Whipping up a luxurious face mask using little more than almonds, apricots, and coconut oil, and an acne-fighting toner with cooling cucumber and antioxidant-rich green tea, she knew without a doubt that no preservatives or toxic chemicals were used.

In Fresh & Pure, Aron explains how to use fruit, flowers, herbs, and minerals to craft healthy beauty products that promote radiant skin, strong nails, and shiny hair. With this helpful guide, readers will be able to pamper themselves from head to toe with aromatic, forward-thinking potions like charcoal soap, strawberry rose facial mist, pineapple sunflower body scrub, and aloe and avocado hair conditioner.

A HEALTHY GLOW STARTS FROM WITHIN
75 recipes for beauty from the best-selling author of Zen and Tonic.

Beautiful radiance is more than skin deep. What we eat directly affects the appearance of our complexion and determines how we age. Diets rich in protein, healthy fats, and good carbohydrates, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, not only yield beautiful skin, but also have protective and preventative qualities that slow the aging process. With guidance from holistic health coach Jules Aron, eating for beauty is simple and pleasurable―a great experience inside and out.

Lavishly illustrated with color photographs, Nourish and Glow lets you indulge in snacks, soups, salads, and desserts you can feel good about. 75 color photographs.
