Jill Ker Conway, author of one of the most celebrated memoirs of recent decades, is also the premier anthologist of women's autobiographical writing. In Her Own Words is Conway's distillation of women's experience from the British Commonwealth world she came from, compared with major themes in women's lives in the United States, which is now her home. In this dazzling collection, we meet twelve remarkable women--from Shirley Chisholm, the West Indian-raised girl who became the first black woman to be elected to the U.S. Congress, to Janet Frame, the brilliant New Zealand writer who overcame involuntary treatment in a mental institution to write one of the archetypal analyses of the postcolonial experience. We learn how the world of politics and the private self intersect in the four offshoots of the old British world, and see how these women have made a difference--by their honesty, by the scale of their struggle for self-knowledge and autonomy, and by the power of their writing.

Nice Glow Just Sticky
Color: 03 Glistening Bronze
I was really excited to try this body glow oil, especially since it has SPF 45, getting sun protection and a bronzed shimmer all in one sounded perfect. The color is beautiful and gives a nice glow without looking too glittery, which I appreciate. However, it does feel a bit sticky right after application. I ended up lightly dusting some setting powder over it, which helped a lot to take down the tackiness and make it feel more comfortable throughout the day. Just a heads-up: you don’t need a lot of product, start with a small amount and build up if needed. It absorbs fairly quickly but still leaves that dewy finish, so it might not be ideal if you’re not into that slightly glossy feel. Overall, though, I really like the effect, especially for photos or a night out. Just takes a little trial and error to get it to work how you want!

Pretty sheer sparkle for your skin
Color: 02 Diamond Platinum
I really enjoyed this product. Normally I am not a glitter person but this is not like normal glitter products. You dont end up with glitter everywhere forever. The sun protection is not great, though I did not purchase for that reason. Definitely use regular sunscreen and then apply this. It is great for festivals, concerts, renfaire etc.

Gives a glow
Color: 03 AMBER
Doesn’t give as much of a shimmer but more so a glow and evens out skin tone.
