By: Virgil     
One of the greatest poems of the classical world

Virgil's Georgics is a glorious celebration of the eternal beauty of the natural world, now brought vividly to life in a powerful new translation.  "Georgic" means "to work the earth," and this poetic guide to country living combines practical wisdom on tending the land with exuberant fantasy and eulogies to the rhythms of nature. It describes hills strewn with wild berries in 'vine-spread autumn'; recommends watching the stars to determine the right time to plant seeds; and gives guidance on making wine and keeping bees. Yet the Georgics also tells of angry gods, bloody battles and a natural world fraught with danger from storms, pests and plagues. Expansive in its scope, lush in its language, this extraordinary work is at once a reflection on the cycles of life, death and rebirth, an argument for the nobility of labour and an impassioned reflection on the Roman Empire of Virgil's times. Kimberly Johnson's lyrical verse translation captures all the rich beauty and abundant imagery of the original, re-creating this ancient masterpiece for our times.

Great Exfoliator
Purchased this to help remove self tanner and help prep my skin to reapply self tanner. It is great for exfoliating your skin prepping for the next round of self tanner. It doesn't help much with removing self tanner. I have used it in the shower as well as soaked in the tub before using it and that didn't make much different. Shaving removes more self tanner than this self tanner removal. I was hoping for much better results but sadly after using several times different ways the result is minimal removal.

Doesn’t take all the fan off. Leaves blotchy
Doesn’t get the tan off all the way and I’ve used it 4 times now. It makes the tan blotchy and uneven (yes I know that’s what happens when the tan is going away but like I said I’ve used it 4 times and it hasn’t made much difference. A regular exfoliant works better) I used the same brand tanner as well so not sure why it’s not working. Bummed tho!
