INTRODUCTION

Thank you for evaluating A Natural Beauty.  The  aim of this program 
is to give you an introduction into  the world of natural cosmetics.       
Making your own  herbal  cosmetics  and  prescribing  to  a  natural       
lifestyle can bring  renewed  vigor and vibrancy to  your life.  The       
joys of herbs, and the radiant  glow that comes from using  them can 
be yours!  

Preparing your own cosmetics  is surprisingly simple; it's  a matter       
of taking the time to  first  locate  the herbs  (usually  found  at       
natural food stores or at an herbalist's)  and  then  preparing them       
according to our easy to follow recipes.  A Natural Beauty  covers a 
wide variety of   cosmetics.  Among them: Hair, Facial, Eyes, Hands,
Nails, Feet, Baths, Fragrances, Acne,  Breath  Sweeteners, and  much 
more!  Two appendices, one for herbs used and one for essential oils
used, are also included.

RIGHT OF USAGE PRIOR TO REGISTRATION

You may use this program to determine if the contents are beneficial 
to you. If you do decide this program can help you, you are required 
to register it with InfoTek.

Registration  brings you many benefits.  Not  only does registration       
give you the right to use the program actively, you will receive the  
lastest   version  available, be  notified  of  upgrades, receive  a 
printed typeset copy of all recipes and receive phone support if you 
run into difficulties. Another important  reason for registering  if  
you intend to use the program actively, is the  fact  that  you  are 
supporting the concept of shareware.  Shareware allows you to  try a  
program before committing to its purchase. This virtually eliminates 
the chance of buying software you can't  use.  By  safeguarding this 
advantage, you help  strengthen  the  benefits  of  Shareware.  Full 
details about  registration  and what it includes is  provided  from 
within the program.  Just select Registration from the Start Up Menu 
or REGISTER THIS PROGRAM in the upper right corner.
