A beautifully illustrated and lyrical picture-book biography of eccentric and beloved writer and artist Edward Gorey

In this lyrical biography of one of literature's most creepily creative authors and illustrators, kids will learn about the inspiration behind a generation of creators, from Lemony Snicket to Tim Burton.

Known for, among other things, wearing a large fur coat wherever he went, storyteller Edward Gorey was respected for both his brilliance and his eccentricity. As a child, he taught himself to read and skipped several grades before landing at Harvard (after a brief stint in the army). Then he built a name for himself as a popular book illustrator. After that, he went on to publish well over one hundred of his own books, stories that mingled sweetness and innocence, danger and darkness, all mixed with his own brand of silliness. Illustrated with Gorey-like humor and inspiration by Chloe Bristol, this stunning picture book biography about this beloved creator is the first for children.

Light, Hydrating, and Non-Greasy — Perfect Everyday Body Oil
I purchased this body oil a little over a week ago, and overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about the product itself. The only complaint I have is with the packaging. When my order arrived, some of the oil had leaked in the box. The bottle doesn’t come with a separate cap—just a twist/lock feature that can easily come loose. Because of that, it must have unlocked during transit, causing a small amount of product loss. Luckily, it wasn’t bad enough for me to feel the need to return it. As for the oil itself—it’s lovely. The scent is light and pleasant, nothing overpowering. While I don’t pick up a strong vanilla note once it’s on my skin, it has a smooth texture that absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. It’s very hydrating, and the bottle size feels generous for the price. If you’re looking for something heavily fragranced, this might not be the one for you, but it’s perfect as a layering oil or for anyone who wants a subtle, nourishing glow. Highly recommend!

Just Buy It
This smells AMAZING! The body butter smells amazing too but the oil smells so much like the Vanilla Amber Sand+Fog oil perfume. I’m so glad I have all three and went ahead and picked up some Vanilla body wash. My kids said I smelled like a bakery all day. I couldn’t stop sniffing my arm and clothes the scent sticks and such a wonderful combination to my perfumes that has vanilla notes. Also, makes your skin feel awesome after a shower. It’s not so greasy after application and gives your skin a beautiful glow in the light. BUY IT!

1000 times worth it!
This is the most luxurious feeling, delicious smelling oil I've ever used! I love this one and the cocoa butter one was well, leaves my skin feeling nourished and incredibly soft!

Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
Works great for myself & hub! I bought them mostly for him because his feet are wrecked, but it’s a 6 pack, so yay me. The cushiony heel was a bonus I didn’t expect, so nice + comfortable to sleep in- usually hate sleeping in socks but since your toes are free, these do not bug at all. Definitely get these

Go buy these heels socks they’re the best
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
I love that they have gel in the heels. I sleep in a pair and even wear a pair to work for extra protection for my heels. They are great to get your heels soft and prepared for the sandal wearing days of summer. They slide on my feet so comfortably because of the great stretch they have. I just love how they feel on my feet , walking in them is very easy and comfy and they don’t slide or is slippery. You can even wash them like regular socks and wear them over and over. I would recommend them to anyone who wants baby soft heels.
