Beyond soap : the real truth about what you are doing to your skin and how to fix it for a beautiful, healthy glow

Skotnicki, Sandy


"Sensitive skin is one of the most buzzed-about topics in dermatology today. It can be painful, debilitating, and inconvenient. Astonishingly, many of the women and men who suffer from problem skin are unknowingly causing it by washing too frequently and using too many skincare and beauty products. In the name of beauty and anti-aging, we're slathering ourselves in creams and balms that actually can damage the skin they claim to protect. The miracle products we buy at department stores, specialty shops, and pharmacies have the potential to make us less attractive--and to prematurely age the skin. In Stop Washing, leading dermatologist Dr. Skotnicki explains that the best state for skin is the natural state. On its own the skin is better equipped to fight wrinkles, stave off aging and act as armor that protects the body from infection. Every time we slather, spread, hydrate, or soften the skin, we nudge the skin away from its healthiest natural condition. Skotnicki demystifies the claims of commonly used beauty products and offers a common-sense approach to cleansing the body and a natural skincare regime that will fight aging, preserve skin health, and enhance beauty. Stop Washing is a practical, essential guide to the best and worst ingredients we slather onto our bodies and how to get healthy glowing skin and look better than ever."--Provided by publisher.

The serviceberry : abundance and reciprocity in the natural world

Kimmerer, Robin Wall.


As Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry's relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth--its abundance of sweet, juicy berries--to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution insures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, "Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.

Le bateau magique

Pearson, Kit, 1947-


Traduction de: The magic boat. Tous les matins d'été, la jeune Ellie se rend à la plage en compagnie de Nonna qui, étant gée, reste sous le parasol pour lire son livre. Si la fillette s'adonne toujours à toutes sortes d'activités, elle finit par se lasser, de sorte que Nonna lui propose de se joindre aux autres enfants qui jouent sur le sable. Mais Ellie est timide et n'ose pas approcher personne, jusqu'à ce qu'une petite fille un peu plus gée qu'elle lui propose de monter à bord de son bateau magique. Si celui-ci ne ressemble qu'à une vieille barque bleue enlisée dans le sable, il se transforme en dériveur muni de voiles orangées, en montgolfière ou en sous-marin pour permettre aux deux filles d'admirer les beautés de la nature. Quand la dénommée Piper lui apprend qu'elle doit retourner à la ville avec sa famille, Ellie pense qu'elle devra de nouveau passer ses journées à s'ennuyer, mais elle pourrait surmonter sa gêne et convier d'autres enfants à un voyage mémorable.
