A warm, intimate account of the love between Eleanor Roosevelt and reporter Lorena Hickok--a relationship that, over more than three decades, transformed both women's lives and empowered them to play significant roles in one of the most tumultuous periods in American history In 1932, as her husband assumed the presidency, Eleanor Roosevelt entered the claustrophobic, duty-bound existence of the First Lady with dread. By that time, she had put her deep disappointment in her marriage behind her and developed an independent life--now threatened by the public role she would be forced to play. A lifeline came to her in the form of a feisty campaign reporter for the Associated Press: Lorena Hickok. Over the next thirty years, until Eleanor's death, the two women carried on an extraordinary relationship: They were, at different points, lovers, confidantes, professional advisors, and caring friends. They couldn't have been more different. Eleanor had been raised in one of the nation's most powerful political families and was introduced to society as a debutante before marrying her distant cousin, Franklin. Hick, as she was known, had grown up poor in rural South Dakota and worked as a servant girl after she escaped an abusive home, eventually becoming one of the most respected reporters at the AP. Her admiration drew the buttoned-up Eleanor out of her shell, and the two quickly fell in love. For the next thirteen years, Hick had her own room at the White House, next door to the First Lady. These fiercely compassionate women inspired each other to right the wrongs of the turbulent era in which they lived. During the Depression, Hick reported from the nation's poorest areas for the WPA, and Eleanor used these reports to lobby her husband for New Deal programs. Hick encouraged Eleanor to turn their frequent letters into her popular and long-lasting syndicated column "My Day," and to befriend the female journalists who became her champions. When Eleanor's tenure as First Lady ended with FDR's death, Hick pushed her to continue to use her popularity for good--advice Eleanor took by leading the UN's postwar Human Rights Commission. At every turn, the bond these women shared was grounded in their determination to better their troubled world. Deeply researched and told with great warmth, Eleanor and Hick is a vivid portrait of love and a revealing look at how an unlikely romance influenced some of the most consequential years in American history.Binding Type: Paperback

Smoothest Dermaplane Session EVER!
Scent: For Sensitive Skin, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is MIRACULOUS! I also struggle with dermaplanning at home and much prefer to have a professional do it, but that’s too costly for me to do as often as I’d like. I won’t say using this made the results as good as a professional but it wasn’t far off! It literally transformed the entire at home experience! I also end up with my skin feeling dry and irritated and almost bumpy and I feel like I never get a close or smooth result and it takes forever. This cut the process down by about half the time, I had zero redness or irritation afterwards, my skin was silky smooth, and I had zero rough spots. It took a very small amount of product and I never had to add any extra. I left it on afterwards until I got in the shower because it felt so soothing on my face. I have experienced no breakouts after using this and I honestly feel like it helped repair some areas that always feel a bit rough on my face. I can’t recommend this enough! For the record, I have tried dermaplanning with a variety of regular face oils and those worked just as well as using nothing. So I was really doubtful that just because this was marketed for dermaplanning it would make a big difference. But it honestly made a massive difference! I really appreciate that I was able to purchase a smaller bottle at a reasonable price to try. Even though the small bottle will probably last forever I’ll definitely be ordering the big size when I’m out. I will forever purchase this stuff!

Apply the Oil first prior to using your dermaplane. I used “for sensitive skin.”
Scent: For Sensitive Skin, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I only had to apply a small amount to my facial areas where I use my dermaplane. It was easy to,apply, wasn’t messy, didn’t irritate my skin or cause any reaction. It worked great with my dermaplane and soothed my skin.
