Author, activist, and TED speaker Ashton Applewhite has written a rousing manifesto calling for an end to discrimination and prejudice on the basis of age.

In our youth obsessed culture, we're bombarded by media images and messages about the despairs and declines of our later years. Beauty and pharmaceutical companies work overtime to convince people to purchase products that will retain their youthful appearance and vitality. Wrinkles are embarrassing. Gray hair should be colored and bald heads covered with implants. Older minds and bodies are too frail to keep up with the pace of the modern working world and olders should just step aside for the new generation.

Ashton Applewhite once held these beliefs too until she realized where this prejudice comes from and the damage it does. Lively, funny, and deeply researched, This Chair Rocks traces her journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-aging radical, and in the process debunks myth after myth about late life. Explaining the roots of ageism in history and how it divides and debases, Applewhite examines how ageist stereotypes cripple the way our brains and bodies function, looks at ageism in the workplace and the bedroom, exposes the cost of the all-American myth of independence, critiques the portrayal of elders as burdens to society, describes what an all-age-friendly world would look like, and offers a rousing call to action.

It's time to create a world of age equality by making discrimination on the basis of age as unacceptable as any other kind of bias. Whether you're older or hoping to get there, this book will shake you by the shoulders, cheer you up, make you mad, and change the way you see the rest of your life. Age pride

"Wow. This book totally rocks. It arrived on a day when I was in deep confusion and sadness about my age. Everything about it, from my invisibility to my neck. Within four or five wise, passionate pages, I had found insight, illumination, and inspiration. I never use the word empower, but this book has empowered me."
--Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author

Quality Body Oil
I love the ingredients in this and that it’s none comedogenic for my bacne. The spray bottle is not easy to apply since it’s messy so I put the contents into a glass pump bottle and leave the excess in the original bottle in the bathroom for my oil cleansing/make up removal or to spray on wet skin post shower. Wet skin stays a little oily so I tend to use a body powder but dry skin I can get away without it though it will leave a sheen (be careful with silk). It lasts me about 3 months and leaves my skin moisturized and soft

Not a spray; more like a stream
I purchased the body oil for my husband because he has eczema and needed something for moisture. I think I actually use it more than he does. The body oil comes in a spray bottle with a pump, but be prepared, it doesn't "spray" out of the nozzle. It's more like a stream. One good thing is that is doesn't run down your leg before you're able to wipe it around. The scent is not nice, but it does give you moisture. I had no irritation using it.

Really helps dry skin
Great product. I use after shower. After rubbing it in my skin it seems to soak in quickly so not greasy on clothes. I have not had the dry skin problems usually do in winter since using this product!

Allergic
I would not say don’t use this product, but for me, after the 2nd use, I noticed bumps on my forearm, rough skin on the back of my elbows. So to say, I am having an allergic reaction. Some people may not, but I am. The smell is bad when you open the bottle, but dissipates after you put it on and it sits for a while. I can’t use because of highly sensitive eczema, maybe someone else can.
