Viva Editions are books that inform, enlighten, and entertain. The very name, "Viva!", is celebratory. And while Viva Editions is a line of books that are as fun as they are informational, the intention behind Viva is very serious—these are books that are truly helpful and intended to enhance people's lives.

What readers are saying about Billee Sharp's book!

I love, love, love this book—it has so many useful hints and great advice that you just have to get a copy. (Not to mention the recipes—my mouth was watering as I read some of them). Here is a way to live a good life and enjoy yourself while doing so. Billee Sharp shares what she knows here and what she knows is based on her sensible look at global responsibility. She feels that we should understand that we must change the way we live and save the planet. She gives us a step-by-step handbook to change our spending habits and regain a quality of life that we deserve.
I love the hints for house cleaning with lemon and lavender. Your house gets clean and smells divine. She gives us ways to take care of minor health issues by using the kitchen cabinet. We learn how to start a garden with our community and hoe to raise organic vegetables as well as how to fix almost anything. Where has this book been? Why have I not heard of some of this before? Everything piece of advice is useful. This is one book that I expect will be filled with bookmarks, post-it notes, dog-eared pages and doodles. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
