11" x 8"

Profusely illustrated with black-and-white line drawings plus a quadruple page fold-out between pages 80 and 81. "Not long ago, Eric Sloane was exploring an ancient house and came upon a small, leather-bound, wood-backed volume bearing the flyleaf inscription: "NOAH BLAKE, my book, March the twenty fifth, Year of Our Lord 1805, Given to me by my Father Isaak Blake and my Mother Rachel upon the fifteenth year of my life." Eric Sloane became fascinated by the diary, in which Noah Blake kept an account of daily activities on his father's farm. In March, Noah helped to fell an oak tree for a "good wood floor" to take the place of the hard earth which had to be pounded and swept smooth every day. For a week in April, Noah worked at maple-sugaring; the rest of the month was devoted to nail-making (which was his father's trade), building a new bridge across Red Man Brook, and spring plowing. On Rogation Sunday, in mid-May, Noah and his family followed the custom of walking the boundaries of their property, both to give thanks and to take inventory. While Noah Blake made note of his chores and of his "social activities," he did not, of course, describe in detail the house he lived in, the methods and implements he used to accomplish his work, or the reasons why certain customs were observed in his world. Eric Sloane therefore decided to fill in these details from his own knowledge of early American ways and tools, and to illustrate, with his superb pen-and-ink drawings, what the farm looked like, how things were done, and what they were done with. The result is an intriguing combination of elements - quotations from Noah Blake's diary, Eric Sloane's descriptions of nail-making, bridge-building, shingle-splitting, and other everyday occupations of a century and a half ago, nearly a hundred illustrations -which bring the year 1805, and Noah Blake, to life again for us."

My Heels Were in Bad Shape. Like… Really Bad
Color: Gray
These moisturizing heel socks with the gel cushions were honestly a small miracle for me. After recovering from cancer treatments, my skin became extremely dry everywhere, but my heels were the worst. They cracked so deeply they looked like fissures and were even bleeding. I tried lotions and bandages repeatedly with very little progress. A friend suggested I treat my heel like it might have a fungal component, so I applied Lotrimin cream, put these heel socks on, and hoped for the best. Within three days, my heels were fully healed. I completed a 7-day routine, and my feet have never been softer. The silicone gel cushion is comfortable, soothing, and stays in place. I loved it so much that I still treat myself about once a week, even though I really don’t need to anymore. They are also washable. I hand-washed mine in the sink and let them air dry, and they came out looking brand new. If your heels are cracked, painful, or need serious care, I highly recommend these.

Ehh. Not for me.
Color: Gray
Foot slides when walking in them. The fit was tighter than lead to believe. It did hold the moisture in but the silicone patch is small

Flawless Finish & Fantastic Value
These blenders are a total game-changer. The quality is fantastic, they are incredibly soft, bouncy, and provide a seamless, smooth finish for my foundation. I was also impressed by how well they handle powder for setting. Getting a 6-pack is an unbeatable value for the quantity. I am officially a fan and will definitely be purchasing these again!

best makeup sponges on the market....even better than the $20 ones
best makeup sponges on the market....even better than the $20 ones. super soft, even coverage, doesn't absorb too much product & extremely affordable for a multi-pack so you can start throwing away your sponges when they go bad instead of hanging onto them for concerning amounts of time
