By: Virgil     
One of the greatest poems of the classical world

Virgil's Georgics is a glorious celebration of the eternal beauty of the natural world, now brought vividly to life in a powerful new translation.  "Georgic" means "to work the earth," and this poetic guide to country living combines practical wisdom on tending the land with exuberant fantasy and eulogies to the rhythms of nature. It describes hills strewn with wild berries in 'vine-spread autumn'; recommends watching the stars to determine the right time to plant seeds; and gives guidance on making wine and keeping bees. Yet the Georgics also tells of angry gods, bloody battles and a natural world fraught with danger from storms, pests and plagues. Expansive in its scope, lush in its language, this extraordinary work is at once a reflection on the cycles of life, death and rebirth, an argument for the nobility of labour and an impassioned reflection on the Roman Empire of Virgil's times. Kimberly Johnson's lyrical verse translation captures all the rich beauty and abundant imagery of the original, re-creating this ancient masterpiece for our times.

Nontoxic sunscreen
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Excellent sunscreen! Nontoxic and gentle. I have sensitive skin and chemical sunscreens can irritate my skin, so I switched to this one. It has a creamy feel, but doesn’t make your skin look or feel oily. I have dry-normal skin, for reference. It initially has a bit of a white cast, but once rubbed in you don’t notice it.

Finally, a Sunscreen That Actually Absorbs and Smells Amazing!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I love this stuff. For some reason, other sunscreens never fully absorb into my skin — no matter how much I rub them in or prep with lotion, they always leave that embarrassing white tint that keeps me from using them consistently. The Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray is completely different. It sprays on evenly, spreads easily, and absorbs right away without any residue, so I actually want to use it and reapply often. As a bonus, it smells amazing — if you like coconut, you’ll love this. Pros: - Absorbs instantly with no white tint - Lightweight, easy-to-apply spray - Pleasant coconut scent - Encourages consistent use - Reef-friendly and made without harsh ingredients Cons: - None at all — perfect sunscreen for everyday use!
