Details:
This City circles the globe from Florence to Palmerston North but the resulting volume is far more than so-called armchair travel. Topography and public space are a preoccupation (buses and trains, roads and houses, even Google Earth s Street View all get a mention), but it is her evocation of the transient grounded in these spaces snippets overheard on an Italian strada, scenes on a bus on Moxham Ave, imaginings of lives from long ago (Jane Austen, Emily Dickenson) that leaves a taut and exciting impression of lives lived here, in this place, in This City."

Waste of money for me
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I brought this product to see if it would help my 1 year old skin because she have a lot of break out and her break out gets badly inflamed and puffy. I try this product and it actually made it worse. It say it help for itching but my child itching increase. It dry up her skin and left like a chalky feel on the skin. I really wish I could get my money back.

Miracle in a bottle!!
I NEVER give reviews but for this I had to!! I purchased this bottle and used a bit on my niece who is 3 years old because she also has sinus issues. It helped her immediately!! I threw it in my purse and never used it on myself and forgot about it. I have been having really bad Asthma flare ups for the past 2 months with tightness in my chest, severe bloating and phlegm for days! I was on albuterol, prescription cough medicine, Z pack and prednisone it helped a little but never got rid of it. My sinus and allergies were bad as well!! I was just suffering terribly!! A few days later after I used it on my neice my asthma worsened to the point I almost went in to ER because it was so bad. I remebered it so I pulled it out of my bag rubbed it on my back, chest, neck and my forehead. I cannot tell you enough the immediate relief I felt!! I was finally able to sleep well that night and today I did not have to use my asthma machine at all!! Idk what this lil bottle did but it worked like a lil miracle on me!! THANK YOU FOR THIS PRODUCT!! I have already ordered MORE!!

THIS STUFF WORKS
I’ve been bed ridden w some type of facial/sinus infection for months on and off, and when I tell you this was the ONLY thing that helped w my intense headache pain, IT REALLY WORKED ! Best thing I’ve ever used tbh, and I’m always trying natural things for pain relief. (I hate pills but sometimes nothing else works for my chronic migraines) but this stuff is amazing. and it smells so good ! I’d totally buy again, and I’ve always recommended it to two other ppl, and they loved how it worked as well !
