A much-praised memoir of living and surviving mental illness as well as "a stereotype-shattering look at a tenacious woman whose brain is her best friend and her worst enemy" (Time). Elyn R. Saks is an esteemed professor, lawyer, and psychiatrist and is the Orrin B. Evans Professor of Law, Psychology, Psychiatry, and the Behavioral Sciences at the University of Southern California Law School, yet she has suffered from schizophrenia for most of her life, and still has ongoing major episodes of the illness. The Center Cannot Hold is the eloquent, moving story of Elyn's life, from the first time that she heard voices speaking to her as a young teenager, to attempted suicides in college, through learning to live on her own as an adult in an often terrifying world. Saks discusses frankly the paranoia, the inability to tell imaginary fears from real ones, the voices in her head telling her to kill herself (and to harm others), as well as the incredibly difficult obstacles she overcame to become a highly respected professional. This beautifully written memoir is destined to become a classic in its genre.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great Sunscreen
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I love this sunscreen and have been using it for years! The scent is pleasant, and it goes on smoothly and provides great coverage. It doesn’t leave a greasy feeling after application, which I really appreciate. It also holds up well after being in the water, and I like that it's environmentally friendly.

Not for Oily / Combo skin types
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
The product smells nice, doesn't leave a greasy feeling on my skin. It's easy to spread and seeps right into my skin. I've had bad luck with sunscreens and so far this one has been nice on my sensitive skin.
The quality of the bottles is odd, or at least that was my first impression. It feels cheap. Maybe that's just how this product is.

****EDIT: I made this review back when my "skin care routine" consisted on NOTHING but salicylic acid cleanser and this sunscreen every other day, whenever I remembered to apply it. My skin was DRY and this sunscreen felt like heaven when applied on my screen.
I recently started actually looking after my skin and added a moisturizer and retinol to my routine. My skin is now hydrated and soft. Now, I'm having to switch to a different sunscreen because this one can no longer be fully absorbed by face. It leaves a nice glow but also an unfortunate greasy feeling on my skin. I also forgot to point our last time that it does leave a white cast, but it goes away after a few extra seconds of rubbing it in.
I still think this is a good product! Just make sure you have the right skin type (dry) for it.
