As a mum we generally put ourselves last on the list for care this book has made me feel like I need to give more to myself easy to follow directions and ingredient lists each category has a beautiful colour section and the illustration gives it an extra layer.
I can’t wait to try some of these treatments some may help my eldest who has psyoriosis and western medicine isn’t helping him x

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I think beside that the recipes were simple enough to follow that what I love most about this book is the cozy illustrations in the book. They gave the books this magical feeling that just seems to touch me on a deeper level. It made for a pleasant reading experience.

This was a beautiful collection that is meant to be self care at its deepest level. I really liked the way it was formatted and it was easy to relate to.

Clearly, an author with the name Cosmic Valeria knows what they are talking about. This was an easy to follow book and I found it visually appealing as well.

I loved how she started it off by introducing you to them the spells before just writing them out for you, and cautioning you about them and how powerful they can be.

I felt like "Self-Love Potions" as a concept was an easy money-grab, praying on people's turn towards traditional methods of healing.

I would compare this publication to many influencers' e-books that prioritise form over content. This book is aesthetically pretty but there's very little actual writing, even for a collection of recipes. That being said, deriving from hundreds of centuries of tradition and knowledge, Cosmic Valeria offers very little theory and sources. Quite a few times I exclaimed: "citation needed!" while reading about herbs and plants that she introduces as natural remedies. There's a bibliography, but it's very sparse and as readers it's impossible to verify the validity of the source material and its' interpretations as Cosmic Valeria doesn't offer any detailed footnotes.

This is a lovely book with inspiring recipes and beautiful illustrations. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and am looking forward to trying out some of the potions and having a bit of ‘me time’.

I really loved this book! The recipes are fantastic! It comes with a lot of wonderful knowledge and the graphics and layout are so cute and peaceful.

This book is filled with amazing herbal recipes and sacred rituals. It's beautifully illustrated and well written. There are recipes for oils, fragrances and tinctures. I certainly enjoyed this special book. It has given me some inspiration for my me time.

Self-Love Potions : Herbal recipes & rituals to make you fall in love with YOU is a wonderfully self indulgent book full of recipes for self love potions and beautiful inspiring illustrations. It is a joy to browse through, and most of the ingredients are easy to obtain. A lovely book for a relaxing self love afternoon. It would also make a great gift

This book is beautifully put together the illustrations throughout are gorgeous. It is clear that the author has a wealth of knowledge about the benefits of different ingredients in the potions.

The potions seem easy to make with easy to source ingredients. I’m very intrigued to have a go at trying some out!

An absolutely charming book for self love.
This book contains 28 recipes for self love potions and I loved looking at all of them, I earmarked quite a few to do myself. All made with ingredients you already have or that will be easy to obtain.
I recommend this book to anyone looking for fun and uncomplicated ways to help yourself feel some love!
While reading this book I was reminded of my own mother and the loving spiritual acts she would add to our daily life, even just making tea. You know it's a good book when it makes you reminisce!

I absolutely loved reading this book. I was completely drawn into the topic and could not stop reading it.

This was a very well put together resource the recipes and rituals are easy and can easily be adapted for your needs. I liked this one so much I am looking forward to buying the paper book for my own shelves.

Highly recommend this one!

4 Stars

I received this book from the publisher Quarto Publishing Group –Leaping Hare and Net Galley for a fair and honest review.

This is such a nice book, both aesthetically pleasing and full of guidance. As the name suggests, it gives you a bunch of different recipes to try out with a much needed warning about what to look out for before you go and try making the potions (allergies is one of them)

I also liked the fact that the author gives a disclaimer that you do not have to be a practitioner or witch to be able to use these recipes. And as true to that many of these can be used as normal self care. I am not a practitioner but I have become curious and dabbled in the craft so I like this very much.

I have taken notes of some of these as this is a book of practical work that you have to do in your kitchen or workspace and I will surely try some of them myself.

4 stars to this book. A job very well done.

The concept of this book had me like 🤩 and the recipes are varied and spellbinding. Most are easy to pull together with just a few ingredients — great for minimalists that still want to mix up the potions. Sometimes simple is superior. ✨ I love the Mystical Resins to Cleanse and Banish and the Cedar Forest Bath and basically the whole Water Rituals chapter. Quick read and super fun!

This was fun!! I'd never read anything like this before. It's not my usual genre or subject matter, but I enjoyed it all the same!

Absolutely divine 🌸 Like a nice warm hug. With beautiful illustrations to dazzle the eyes and a calming energy to soothe the senses. A generous display of self-love potions and rituals to help brighten and nurture your soul 💖 Just lovely.

Thanks NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group –Leaping Hare, and Leaping Hare Press for access to this arc!

Thus is full of really nice and helpful recipes and remedies to feel better about yourself. I appreciate the helpful safety tips at the start. I really feel like the author genuinely cares about the person reading and using these rituals, which feels so nice!

Self- Love Potions by Cosmic Valeria is a beautiful book with lots of great illustrations through out. It is all about self love and how to fall back in love with yourself.

The Author writes in an easy to understand manner. So this book would be perfect for anyone to read and work with not just for people who have practiced doing potions and rituals before. I also liked the fact that a lot of the items required were not too difficult to source. Quite often you find things that are very specialist in this type of book. But this one was fantastic.

A book you would definitely go back to time and again.

Thanks to Net galley and Leaping Hare (Quatro Publishing) for the ARC Copy of this book. This review is my own opinion.
