Oldenland : A Journey in Search of the Good Last Years by Roger Clough'In front of me is an adventure with old age as my companion, my shadow and confederate, maybe my friend.'Old age is a country, and we need to learn to walk through it. And that's just what Roger Clough, former Professor of Social Care, lifelong hill walker, and current resident of 'Oldenland' spends his time doing. Where he used to study the terrain of ageing like a scientist, now he understands it as a farmer might, walking its contours every day

'In front of me is an adventure with old age as my companion, my shadow and confederate, maybe my friend.'Old age is a country, and we need to learn to walk through it. And that's just what Roger Clough, former Professor of Social Care, lifelong hill walker, and current resident of 'Oldenland' spends his time doing. Where he used to study the terrain of ageing like a scientist, now he understands it as a farmer might, walking its contours every day from his retirement village in the Peak District, while still negotiating the physical peaks and troughs of the area. Whilst there are a lot of books that cover the topic of 'how to have a good death', there is little that offers us advice on the time period that comes before that. How do we learn to actually be old? How do we spend our later years in a meaningful way that makes sense of who we've been and who we are now? Not in blithely positive denial in the face of our physical and cognitive decline, or overtaken with regret of a life that's running down the clock, but empowered to not lose who we are; to say 'I am still me'. And, if we have not yet arrived at its borders, how can we better understand those who live there, and better prepare ourselves for a future when we will become citizens too?Written over 25 years and innumerable journeys, Oldenland is a unique and moving companion to the experiences of old age, and how to make it count.,

Decent for the price.
Color: Rainy-Rainbow
The color is pretty, the bottle seems to be working well for now. The atomizer pump is so cute and makes me feel super dainty and girly! I love the xtra refill, the funnel and two glitter glues for makeup looks. The glue is good enough to hold the glitter but not too sticky where it leaves a nasty residue. So that’s a plus and it’s easy to wash off. However, the glitter does not adhere or stay in place on dry skin. I’m assuming it’ll be great to spray on the body if you have some type of oil in for it to adhere too but haven’t tried it yet. Will update next weekend.

Love it.
Color: Rainy-Rainbow
This glitter is gorgeous on. Really easy to apply, sprays evenly and a good amount at once. It wasn’t a nightmare to deal with either clinging to things it fell/rubbed onto which I was pleasantly surprised by. It cleans up very well. A little goes a long way too, so it should last a while. It stayed on my body fairly well throughout the night too. I have really sensitive skin so I was hesitant to even get glitter at all. I tried body glitter 2 years ago but it was a liquid spray kind and I broke out in an intense rash all over. I also have a chronic hive condition so my skin flares up from products due to sensitivity. I did not have ANY issues with this glitter.

Absolutely Stunning Glitter with Thoughtful Packaging! | Rainy Rainbow
Color: Rainy-Rainbow, Color: Rainy-Rainbow
This glitter is breathtaking! The sparkles catch the light very beautifully — it has a mesmerizing, holographic shine that’s perfect for adding extra pizzazz to any project. When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was packaged. The box was securely sealed, and everything inside was perfectly intact—minor spills, no mess. A heads up on opening the entire thing: the round container’s Lid is screwed on VERY LOOSELY. Be mindful when you’re unboxing. Screw it back on very tightly. The spray nozzle on this bottle gives such a beautiful, antique perfume vibe—it really elevates the whole experience. It sprays the glitter perfectly, so it’s easy to get a flawless application every time. (Don’t forget to keep the little nozzle cover to protect it!) Honestly, I wouldn’t apply it any other way than with the bottle—it just makes everything so much smoother. 🤷🏻‍♀️ If you happen to go overboard, just grab the closest shirt and wipe off any excess. No point in wasting any of this stuff! :) Oh, & those two little gloss bottles are actually glue, which is perfect for keeping everything right where you need it to be. Here’s a little pro tip: I used the same tape that kept the box sealed to reseal the lid of the round glitter container until I’m ready to use it. Worked like a charm! 😎 It’s a small detail, but it will keep everything neat, and prevent unwanted glitter explosions in the future. If you’re a sparkle lover, you’ll adore this glitter—it’s as pretty in person as it looks online!
