Blonde Indian: An Alaska Native MemoirIn the spring, the bear returns to the forest, the glacier returns to its source, and the salmon returns to the fresh water where it was spawned.

In the spring, the bear returns to the forest, the glacier returns to its source, and the salmon returns to the fresh water where it was spawned. Drawing on the special relationship that the Native people of southeastern Alaska have always had with nature, Blonde Indian is a story about returning. Told in eloquent layers that blend Native stories and metaphor with social and spiritual journeys, this enchanting memoir traces the author's life from her difficult childhood growing up in the Tlingit community, through her adulthood, during which she lived for some time in Seattle and San Francisco, and eventually to her return home. Neither fully Native American nor Euro-American, Hayes encounters a unique sense of alienation from both her Native community and the dominant culture. We witness her struggles alongside other Tlingit men and women--many of whom never left their Native community but wrestle with their own challenges, including unemployment, prejudice, alcoholism, and poverty. The author's personal journey, the symbolic stories of contemporary Natives, and the tales and legends that have circulated among the Tlingit people for centuries are all woven together, making Blonde Indian much more than the story of one woman's life. Filled with anecdotes, descriptions, and histories that are unique to the Tlingit community, this book is a document of cultural heritage, a tribute to the Alaskan landscape, and a moving testament to how going back--in nature and in life--allows movement forward.Binding Type: Paperback

Durable
Color: Green, Color: Green
We’ve had it for awhile now and it’s still (mostly) in one piece. Has held up well for our heavy chewing puppy. It lost a tentacle but that’s nothing compared to the level of destruction our dog has put other toys through in much shorter amounts of time. Recommend for heavy chewers and will likely buy again!

Not large
Color: Green
This is a lot smaller than it appears in pictures. I was going to give it to a large dog but I’m worried it would be a choking hazard. instead I’m going to give it to a pug. Seems fine quality wise just not “large”

Absolutely EXCELLENT customer service
Color: Green
This little guy is so freaking cute and is very well made. The squeak is loud but not overly so, and the construction is really sturdy. Itis stuffed well enough it can be thrown for an impromptu game of fetch. I imagine, if you are a dog, it would be fun to chew on all the different tentacles and drag all over the place.
I ordered it as a gift for my brother's pit bull, in the full knowledge it wouldn't survive the holidays, but hoping. Sadly, when it arrived it was so small! Definitely too small for such a big boy, and not even large enough for my kid's rottie/collie mix. So I did what you do in these situations: I initiated a return, stating my issue in the appropriate place
To my utter shock, an hour later I had been issued a full refund with the reason they listed being they had sent me the wrong item. I do not even have to send the toy back! I didn't ask for this; it didn't occur to me to even consider it. They just did it on their own. Which is why, despite the item I received being too small, made me want to run over here and leave a great review
To make sure the toy finds a loving home with a little woofer, we'll be donating it to one of the smaller local shelters. I'm sure it will be very happy with its new family

My favorite pimple patches
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 2)
I love these pimple patches!! They are so invisible on my face and perform decent under makeup, they're super thin so you don't see the bulky outline of the patch, and they are so durable! I don't have any lifting on the edges of the patch throughout the whole day. SOOO easy to use with the way you can peel half of it at a time, so you don't have to worry as much about getting it stuck on your fingers before putting it on your face. This two pack lasts forever too!! Definitely getting your money's worth.

Invisible, Reliable, and Weirdly Satisfying
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 3)
I’ve tried a ton of different pimple patches and some fall off in the middle of the night, some look like you’ve taped a sticker to your face, and some just straight-up don’t work. These? These are my go-to.
I wear them day and night, and I’ve literally forgotten I have one on because they’re that invisible. Even under makeup or in bright lighting, it’s hard to tell it’s there unless you’re seriously up close. They adhere well with no random peeling or slipping off and they stay put even through sleep or light face washing. That alone makes them worth it.
But beyond just staying on, they do the job. After a few hours (or overnight), you can actually see the patch pulling oil and gunk out of the spot. It’s gross in the best way. I’ve had whiteheads flatten out and redness reduce without me ever touching the pimple. No popping, no scarring.
If you’re the type who picks at your face out of habit that this helps break that cycle. Just slap one on and forget it. I’ve genuinely missed them before because they blend into my skin so well, even in the mirror.
