A journalist, diplomat, and writer, William Christian Bullitt (1891-1967) negotiated with Lenin and Stalin, Churchill and de Gaulle, Chiang Kai-shek and Goering. He took part in the talks that ended World War I and those that failed to prevent World War II. While his former disciples led American diplomacy into the Cold War, Bullitt became an early enthusiast of the European Union. From his early (1919) proposal of disassembling the former Russian Empire into dozens of independent states, to his much later (1944) advice to land the American troops in the Balkans rather than in Normandy, Bullitt developed a dissenting vision of the major events of his era. A connoisseur of American politics, Russian history, Viennese psychoanalysis, and French wine, Bullitt was also the author of two novels and a number of plays. A friend of Sigmund Freud, Bullitt coauthored with him a sensational biography of President Wilson. A friend of Bullitt, Mikhail Bulgakov depicted him as the devil figure in The Master and Margarita. Taking seriously Bullitt's projects and foresights, this book portrays him as an original thinker and elucidates his role as a political actor. His roads were not taken, but the world would have been different if Bullitt's warnings had been heeded. His experience suggests powerful though lost alternatives to the catastrophic history of the twentieth century.Based on Bullitt's unpublished papers and diplomatic documents from the Russian archives, this new biography presents Bullitt as a truly cosmopolitan American, one of the first politicians of the global era. It is human ideas and choices, Bullitt's projects and failures among them, that have brought the world to its current state.

Feels refreshing, but not for super sensitive skin
I wanted to love this, but my rosacea prone skin is just too sensitive for it. Pretty sure it has caused some minor break outs, as well. A blemish or 2 seem to pop up shortly after using (I really haven’t had much of a problem lately with blemishes, and this is the only thing that had changed in my skin care routine). It also may be making my rosacea flare more, making my face appear redder. It feels great going on, very refreshing, but I did notice the tiniest bit of stinging, which tells me it is irritating my super sensitive skin. The smell is ok, but not as amazing as some made it out to be. I don’t think my skin would tolerate using it daily, I currently only use it once a twice a week, before bed. I love how cooling it is. It is great for layering under, when you need a little boost of hydration and is great for summer. It is on the much lighter side, as far as hydration goes, being that it is a gel.

Amazing!
I found this item online as a possible dupe to farmacy honey halo due to some matching ingredients. I have sensitive skin and prone to closed comedones. This is a fantastic moisturizer and definitely will be my new go to.

Happy face
I've been using this for the past six months and it's easily become my favorite moisturizer. It smells great and the gel consistency is just right, not watery or really thick. It's light, but a little bit sticky. My favorite thing is it doesn't sit on top of your skin and smear off like I've had other moisturizers do. Like If you run your finger down the side of your face you get a weird residue, like you would with sunblock. None of that here! I don't wear a full face of makeup, but as someone who has to create my own eyebrows daily the pens and pencils don't weakly smear on top like they do with the other moisturizers that coat your face. The lines turn out very smooth and opaque.

Great toothbrush for my cats
I was worried about this but it was actually great. It has real bristles like a real toothbrush and it is circular so you can just twist it in their mouth or have them bite it.
