Monica Murphy LeMoine is used to writing postcards from strange, faraway places. After years of traveling around the world with her Peace Corps sweetheart-turned-husband, she finds herself on a blissfully ignorant journey toward new parenthood. But when the pregnancy ends before it's supposed to, Monica is abruptly launched into a different kind of world that nothing in life has prepared her for. It is up to Monica to navigate this strange land of almost-parenthood, make sense of her own confusing grief for real and imagined lives lost, and-ultimately-learn to move forward without someone she loves. A memoir told in postcards, Knocked up, Knocked Down is about finding solace in the most surprising places when life knocks you to the ground. And if you have ever lost a loved one, this uplifting story will help you move upward, too. "Monica Murphy LeMoine worked all over the world with the Peace Corps and grew up in a family that never had time to 'sit around and wallow.' She never comes close to that in this deeply and darkly funny, anti-trauma memoir. Refusing to accept the grief package defined by well-meaning counselors who said she'd never recover, this book calmly and firmly replies, 'bull#@%& " -Christina Gombar, prize-winning author, Literary Editor for Exhale, and reviewer for Bookslut and London Review of Books.Binding Type: Paperback

Too pricey compared to others
Size: 10.14 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Lotion is light and absorbs very nicely. It doesn't leave a white lotion look or make my skin feel slimy. A cple hrs later my skin still feels soft. For the price you would think it would have SPF. It seems like a nice lotion with good ingredients but it's only geared towards brightening and protecting the barrier which you can get in other lotions at a much lower pr that have SPF. I will see if my skin shows any improvement over my current lotion, but I am honestly not holding my breath on this one. My current lotion (Alozera) is a small brand loaded w/ ceramides, peptides, vit c, etc w/ a great price. I honestly tried this cuz my friend raves about but I think she is more impressed by other things vs results. This lotion has reg high molecular hyaluronic acid which protects the barrier but doesn't absorb deep into the skins layers which would plump up any collapsed structures that will lead to crepey skin. This is gonna add some length to this review but I started doing this hack a cple months ago and it really works great at a low cost.
Hack: buy a quality low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid in a powder. (They have on Amazon) Make small batches (5 days) with distilled water, and NEVER use rose water to make as they sometimes suggest on the label due to bacteria growth. It won't b thick like a serum allowing it to penetrate. You MUST apply it to damp skin (not soaking wet) cuz HA binds to water (called a humectant). Otherwise, you will actually pull hydration from your skin. After applying the LMHA to your skin immediately follow by your lotion-that will trap the moisture and lock in the plumping. Also, don't mix it with your lotion or you will cause bacteria and/or mold growth in the bottle. So 2 things they may suggest that u shldnt do-using rose water or adding it to your lotion. If you do this with a wkly AHA exfoliant you will c great changes within a cple wks.
I will follow up on this review in a cple wks after giving it a chance.

It's an okay lotion
Size: 10.14 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 10.14 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It can as advertised, it has no scent but it makes my skin smooth and soft but it's not moisturizing so it's best to use an oil after. It actually tighten my skin over time.

This product is the real deal.
OMG. This is the best skin care product I have ever used. I'm 61 years old and my skin was showing sun damage, dark circles, real wrinkles around my eyes, lips, and forehead. Basically, I was looking every bit of my 61 years.
About 30 days ago I started using this organic beef tallow with raw honey moisturizer in conjunction with a product to clear the pores on my nose. (That's a different review.) I will never go back to the 5, costly products I was using.
I was using a daytime moisturizer with SPF, a dark circle cream, a dark spot remover, a fine line product, and a night time resurfacing cream before trying this product.
That was a couple hundred dollars every 5 weeks or so.
Since starting this beef tallow and raw honey 30 days ago, my skin looks 10 times better. It's dewy but not greasy. My makeup looks good ALL day. My wrinkles are less noticeable and, I think, reduced in depth. My under eyes look so good. No more concealer under my foundation. In fact, I can go out and about with no makeup now!
This product glides on easily, no dragging or pulling. It never feels greasy. And it only takes about a marble sized amount for my full face, neck, and decolletage.
I use it morning and at night. So far, the little jar is still 3/4 full.
Amazing product. I will be buying more for sure.
Oh, one more thing. About 2.5 years ago, I had to have a mass removed from the left side of my neck. The scar was very noticeable. This cream is even improving that!
Try it. See if I'm wrong!
