Celebrating the centennial of his birth, the first-ever U.S. publication of Philippine writer Nick Joaquin's seminal works, with a foreword by PEN/Open Book Award-winner Gina Apostol A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Nick Joaquin is widely considered one of the greatest Filipino writers, but he has remained little-known outside his home country despite writing in English. Set amid the ruins of Manila devastated by World War II, his stories are steeped in the post-colonial anguish and hopes of his era and resonate with the ironic perspectives on colonial history of Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa. His work meditates on the questions and challenges of the Filipino individual's new freedom after a long history of colonialism, exploring folklore, centuries-old Catholic rites, the Spanish colonial past, magical realism, and baroque splendor and excess. This collection features his best-known story, "The Woman Who Had Two Navels," centered on Philippine emigrants living in Hong Kong and later expanded into a novel, the much-anthologized stories "May Day Eve" and "The Summer Solstice" and a canonic play, A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino. As Penguin Classics previously launched his countryman Jose Rizal to a wide audience, now Joaquin will find new readers with the first American collection of his work. Introduction and Suggestions for Further Reading by Vicente L. Rafael For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

A very mild shampoo
Scent: Baobab & Rosehip, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It’s like a watery jelly. It got my scalp and hair clean. It is such a mild shampoo that infuses moisture as well. The smell is light and divine of rosehips.
I bought this to replace another brand (SM), and I have no regrets! I can’t wait to try some of their other products.
Edited: A year later and Babo has blocked Canadians from ordering their products from Amazon! Such a shame as their products are wonderful. Just use a third party from the USA that will ship out to Canada.

Not for me
Scent: Baobab & Rosehip, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I appreciate what they are trying to do with the carton however, it’s more splash proof than water proof. The smell is off for me as well. I really wanted to love this product because I love the company but this one is a miss for me.

Great moisturizing shampoo for damaged hair
Scent: Baobab & Rosehip, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It is a good non toxic shampoo and conditioner, but be cautious it's very moisturizing and not good for oily hair. It works best for dry and damaged hair. A little goes a long way, so don't over shampoo. To my surprise..the container won't get soggy in the shower!

Super light and doesn't come off with sweat
Style: Tropical Coconut
Great stuff. Its super light, once the smell wears away you forget you every applied sunscreen. It also goes on super easily and doesn't leave my face super shiny.
To my surprise it also doesn't come off easily with sweat. I've used other brands and the moment you sweat it just all washes away.
Overall great stuff. The fragrance is a bit strong for me but I usually use unscented stuff so I'm extra sensitive to it. Good thing is the smell does wear away after a little bit.
