I received the book Comfort Living by Christine Eisner from Cadence Marketing Group for review.

Product Description

With simple tools and do-able steps, Comfort Living will guide you in creating a home that transforms the way you experience each day. No big investment of time or money is required. Filled with exercises, ToolBoxes, photographs and planning pages, this book becomes a personalized experience for each reader, customized to individual needs and wants, much like a wedding planner or baby book. Just as comfort food does more than satisfy hunger, Comfort Living realigns your surroundings so that they support your priorities and feed your soul.

Comfort Living is a gorgeous interactive book about how to rearrange your life and home. This book is a practical home guide for people with very busy lives. It is a book that tells you how to use our 'treasures' in a way that transforms our lives for the better and at the same time remove obstacles that keeps us from being happy.

The book is written in four parts, the first part is about taking a look at ourselves and our living spaces.It guides us on how to think of our treasures and what obstacles we may have. In other words it is looking at our living area and deciding if what we have is something we want to keep in our lives. We all have over the years created clutter. In other words we need to streamline our lives in order to be happy. If that means getting rid of things you never use, clothing, books or anything else that is causing clutter and dissatisfaction.Part two is about the light that comes from within ourselves that will encourage us to have the lifestyle we want.Part three is called Little Things and basically is how to "live fully in the present, while honoring the past and making way for the future" and adding meaning to everyday objects.The author in part four gives ideas on how to let the outside and nature into our homes. Using light, plants, flowers and other items to make our home more comforting. The book, in each chapter has areas that you can write down whatever comes to mind while reading the book. The book, within the four parts, is broken down into weeks and what you can do in those weeks along with daily calendars to use to assist in making the changes you may want in your life. Interspersed within the book are beautiful pictures of objects and rooms displaying a homey atmosphere.The author recommends using a journal of your choosing or use the one that she has created to use for obstacles and treasures. 

I loved the book, it is filled with ideas,lists,pictures and suggestions on how to accomplish a Comfort Living. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to have simple inexpensive ideas on how to have a more balanced life
