NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Perfect for fans of The Crown, this magisterial biography of Queen Elizabeth II is a close-up view of the woman we've known only from a distance--and a captivating window into the last great monarchy.From the moment of her ascension to the throne in 1952 at the age of twenty-five, Queen Elizabeth II has been the object of unparalleled scrutiny. But through the fog of glamour and gossip, how well do we really know the world's most famous monarch? Drawing on numerous interviews and never-before-revealed documents, acclaimed biographer Sally Bedell Smith pulls back the curtain to show in intimate detail the public and private lives of Queen Elizabeth II, who has led her country and Commonwealth through the wars and upheavals of the last sixty years with unparalleled composure, intelligence, and grace. In Elizabeth the Queen, we meet the young girl who suddenly becomes "heiress presumptive" when her uncle abdicates the throne. We meet the thirteen-year-old Lilibet as she falls in love with a young navy cadet named Philip and becomes determined to marry him, even though her parents prefer wealthier English aristocrats. We see the teenage Lilibet repairing army trucks during World War II and standing with Winston Churchill on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on V-E Day. We see the young Queen struggling to balance the demands of her job with her role as the mother of two young children. Sally Bedell Smith brings us inside the palace doors and into the Queen's daily routines--the "red boxes" of documents she reviews each day, the weekly meetings she has had with twelve prime ministers, her physically demanding tours abroad, and the constant scrutiny of the press--as well as her personal relationships: with Prince Philip, her husband of sixty-four years and the love of her life; her children and their often-disastrous marriages; her grandchildren and friends. Praise for Elizabeth the Queen "An excellent, all-embracing new biography."--The New York Times " An] imposing, yet nimbly written, biography that] dwarfs the field . . . a most satisfying and enjoyable read, one to be savored at length."--Minneapolis Star Tribune "Fascinating . . . After sixty years on the throne, the monarch of Britain is better known for her poker face than for sly wit or easy charm. Yet in biographer Sally Bedell Smith's Elizabeth the Queen, Her Majesty sparkles with both."--More " A] smart and satisfying book."--Los Angeles Times

Deceptive Advertising
There's a little bit of false advertising going on here unless you thoroughly read the description. There are three balls in the picture, but you are only purchasing two. Always read the whole description before buying!

Not the same rubber.
I just received these today. I already have two of the same size direct from the local pet store. The one thing I liked about them that made me want to buy more - my 13lb dog could chew on them all night and never leave a mark. The red one I received was as expected. The blue one I received was not made out of the same rubber. It was softer. We played catch a few times and it didn’t bounce the same. I looked away for 5 minutes and she had it already starting to shred. Not sure what happened but 1 of the 2 balls I was sent was not up to par, possibly defective.

Leave your skin looking radiant!
I’ve been using the Vaseline Illuminate Me Body Butter & Oil, and overall I really like it—it feels like a simple but effective everyday glow product.
The first thing I noticed is how soft and lightweight the body butter is. It melts into the skin easily without feeling heavy or greasy, and it leaves my skin feeling smooth and well moisturized. The hydration is definitely noticeable, especially on dry areas like elbows and legs.
I also love the subtle glow it gives. It’s not glittery or over-the-top—it’s more of a natural, healthy-looking sheen that makes your skin look radiant and refreshed. The body oil adds a nice finishing touch if you want a bit more shine, especially for nights out or warmer weather.
The scent is light and clean, which I appreciate because it doesn’t overpower perfumes or other body care products. It just gives that fresh, “put together” feeling after applying.
Another thing I like is that it layers well. You can use the butter alone for everyday moisture or pair it with the oil for a more luminous, highlighted look.
Overall, this is a great body care duo if you want hydration plus a soft glow. It’s not overly fancy, but it does exactly what it promises and leaves your skin looking healthy, smooth, and radiant.
