From the pen of one of Amherst, Massachusetts's most important women comes an intriguing glimpse into the nineteenth century. Twice, Orra White Hitchcock traveled with her husband, Edward, a famous geologist and president of Amherst College. She kept meticulous diary entries of their journeys, observing with wit and frankness the people and places she encountered. Orra writes behind-the-scenes accounts of a scientific conference in Edinburgh and of a visit with some of the century's most notable contemporary scientists in London. She describes in stunning and honest detail Sunday services, an international antiwar congress in Frankfurt, and slavery on the streets of Richmond, Virginia. Because she was an open-minded woman, her pages are rich in entertaining stories of botanical gardens, public entertainments, and the shops of London and Paris. She also indulges the reader with romantic descriptions of memorable landscapes in Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, and Switzerland. Spanning the ocean from America to Europe, Orra's never-before-published travel journals offer a vivid, inside look at one woman's unique experiences in a world moving toward modernity.

One of my favorites!
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is one of my favorite sprays. It feels so good, gentle on my skin, I personally like the smell because it smells like roses. It moisturizes my skin, I like to put it on even in the middle of the day over my makeup, it seems to freshen it up. My skin loves this spray, it's very refreshing. I will definitely be buying again.

My Favorite Reasonably Priced Facial Toner
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 3 ounce (Pack of 1)
This toner is always in my medicine cabinet. I love it. I use it every time after washing my face and prior to applying moisturizer. The rose scent is my perfect, not too overpowering or synthetic. I usually purchase the large size to refill my small spritzer size.

100% Worth a Try!
Listen to me carefully: I haven’t been this excited about a skincare product in a LONG time, and I try a lot of new products every year. I had just tried a new “viral” makeup primer that sucked every ounce of moisture out of my already dry skin in one day, ruining my skin barrier and making anything but water sting on my face, so I decided to give this a try. The consistency is light when applying, and not heavy- but you can feel that you have a protective moisturizing layer over the skin. The biggest thing? NO STINGING even on red, dry, irritated skin! Centella really is the best soothing ingredient I’ve tried. It gives a soft glow without looking oily. I haven’t had a “holy grail” product in years, until now!
