What the Roman poet Horace can teach us about how to live a life of contentment
What are the secrets to a contented life? One of Rome's greatest and most influential poets, Horace (65-8 BCE) has been cherished by readers for more than two thousand years not only for his wit, style, and reflections on Roman society, but also for his wisdom about how to live a good life--above all else, a life of contentment in a world of materialistic excess and personal pressures. In How to Be Content, Stephen Harrison, a leading authority on the poet, provides fresh, contemporary translations of poems from across Horace's works that continue to offer important lessons about the good life, friendship, love, and death. Living during the reign of Rome's first emperor, Horace drew on Greek and Roman philosophy, especially Stoicism and Epicureanism, to write poems that reflect on how to live a thoughtful and moderate life amid mindless overconsumption, how to achieve and maintain true love and friendship, and how to face disaster and death with patience and courage. From memorable counsel on the pointlessness of worrying about the future to valuable advice about living in the moment, these poems, by the man who famously advised us to carpe diem, or "harvest the day," continue to provide brilliant meditations on perennial human problems. Featuring translations of, and commentary on, complete poems from Horace's Odes, Satires, Epistles, and Epodes, accompanied by the original Latin, How to Be Content is both an ideal introduction to Horace and a compelling book of timeless wisdom.Binding Type: Hardcover

Best Baby Sunscreen ☀️
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50 Spray
Putting sunscreen on a one year old is never an easy task. So I learned very quickly that the spray was a must. I’ve tried several different kinds and have had issues with eye irritation because I’m sure as y’all all know (that I definitely did not know) the first thing they do when you put sunscreen on their face is rub it immediately in their eyes. Although this one is not completely irritation free, I have noticed much less irritation to her eyes (or maybe she’s finally learning not to rub her eyes after I put it on idk 🤷🏼♀️). Regardless this is a great safe, easy to apply sunscreen for babies!

Thick & Protective
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50 Spray
I like this spray because it goes on thick and stays on for a while (even when playing in water). It does spray on white and requires a quick rub in, but I know my kids are protected from the sun when using this product.

Problem with the sprayer
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50 Spray
Great scent, feels soft after it's put on, but the spray is defective. I don't know if it's just this bottle or the lot, or a manufacturing issue overall, but the spray comes out fine initially and then doesn't, getting clogged temporarily till you stop using it for a while. Then it works fine again. Otherwise I would not have a problem buying it again, if I know it's just a one-off situation with this particular bottle.
