It is hardly news that our planet is on the brink of ecological disaster. Yet amid the alarming headlines, a grassroots restoration movement, comprised largely of everyday people and sponsored by organizations like The Nature Conservancy, has sprouted up and become the most vital environmental force in America. This compelling story of heroism and tenacious human spirit-- the first book to look at this momentous new movement--brings alive one of its most astonishing victories. Once a thriving habitat, Vestal Grove, a tract of land along the Chicago River, was abandoned and on the edge of oblivion. But Steve Packard, a charismatic, modern-day Thoreau, was determined to bring it back. With a small troop of volunteers, he began clearing the land only to make an amazing discovery: Vestal Grove was a long-lost ecosystem. Neither prairie nor forest, it was a living community so finely turned that only certain flora and fauna could live in its unique dapple of sun and shade. The challenge was to unearth its ecological Rosetta stone and find the secrets of its survival. Little did Packard and the others know just how wondrous those secrets would be. A page-turning mystery, inspirational drama, and uplifting testament to a new breed of American pioneer, Miracle Under the Oaks is an important book for everyone--environmentalists, lovers of natures, dedicated gardeners, and the new generation that will inherit the earth.Binding Type: Paperback

Good product, but small in quantity.
Scent: Rain Water, Size: 33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I like this soap a lot, but the size surprised me enough that it is worth mentioning.
The Rainwater scent is clean and subtle, not overpowering or perfumey. The soap itself is clear, rinses clean, and does not leave my hands feeling dry or coated. I also appreciate that it is a more chemical conscious option that still works well for frequent handwashing.
That said, I was genuinely surprised by how small the refill container was. Yes, the ounces are listed right on the ad and package, but the bottle itself looks tiny in comparison to what I expected from the photo. For the price, the quantity felt underwhelming, and that ultimately led me to return it.
If the cost-to-quantity ratio made more sense, I would absolutely keep this on hand, because the product itself is very nice. Just go into it knowing the refill is smaller than you might expect based on the packaging.

On my second bottle...
Scent: Rain Water, Size: 33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've now purchased two bottles of this hand soap. I love the smell! The soap itself is gentle but effective. It cleans well without drying out my hands, even with frequent use. I appreciate that it’s made with ingredients like aloe vera and essential oils, which helps keep my skin feeling soft instead of stripped. The scent is light, fresh, and clean without being overpowering. The “Rain Water” fragrance has a subtle, slightly floral smell that makes washing your hands feel a little more refreshing and enjoyable.

Soft Cotton Rounds That Work Well for Skincare
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
These cotton rounds are soft, durable, and work well for everyday skincare and makeup removal. They don’t fall apart easily when using toner or micellar water, which I appreciate. The packaging is simple and convenient, and the quantity is great for the price. Overall, a reliable product to keep on hand.
