"Verpassen Sie nicht dieses charmant-exzentrische Buch von Edward Carey, von der berühmten Madame Tussaud selbst erzählt, über ihr merkwürdiges Leben und ihre Zeit, einschließlich der auch für sie beinahe tödlichen Französischen Revolution, der Hauptsaison für Köpfe!" Margaret Atwood 1761 wird ein winziges Mädchen namens Marie Grosholtz im Elsass geboren. Nach dem Tod ihrer Eltern wird sie Gehilfin des exzentrischen Wachsbildners Doktor Curtius in Bern, der sie mit nach Paris nimmt, wo sie mit der dominanten Witwe Picot und ihrem stillen Sohn Edmond in einem leerstehenden Affenhaus Quartier beziehen. Sobald sie das Gebäude in einen Ausstellungsraum für Wachsfiguren und Wachsköpfe verwandelt haben, wird ihr Handwerk zur Sensation und führt Marie bis an den Königshof in Versailles. Das Geschäft mit den Wachsköpfen berühmter und berüchtigter Zeitgenossen, großer Philosophen und notorischer Verbrecher blüht. Doch in Paris werden die Paläste gestürmt und das Volk verlangt nach Köpfen ? genau das, was die Wachsbildner liefern! Der zauberhafte, mit vielen Zeichnungen Careys versehene, feinsinnige und lebenspralle Roman erzählt die abenteuerliche Geschichte der Frau, die als Madame Tussaud zu Weltruhm gelangte: Eine unschuldig-weise kleine Madame Courage zwischen Philosophen und Häftlingen, Helden und Schurken, die sie allesamt in Wachs zu fassen vermochte.

Natural remedy for treating keratosis pilaris (KP).
Scent: Unscented, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The most pleasant surprise about this tallow balm is that it’s a very effective natural remedy for treating keratosis pilaris (KP). It’s intense moisturizing properties help smooth the "chicken skin" bumps and reduce redness. It’s a natural alternative to conventional lotions by nourishing the skin barrier without harsh chemicals. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the skin texture on the back of my upper arms after rubbing it in. My skin looks and feels much improved when I use it and hopefully will continue to improve over time with continuall use! If you have not found an all natural product to help smooth and reduce KP bumps give this tallow balm a try!

Batana Oil for Stronger, Fuller Hair
Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this Batana Oil for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. From the very first use, my hair felt softer, more nourished, and noticeably healthier. The texture of the oil is rich but not overly heavy, which makes it easy to apply without weighing my hair down. What I love most is how it helps with dryness and frizz. My ends look less damaged, and my hair has a natural shine that I didn’t have before. I’ve also noticed less breakage when brushing, which is a huge plus. It feels like my hair is getting stronger over time. Another great thing is that a little goes a long way, so the jar lasts longer than expected. I like to use it as a scalp treatment and also as a leave-in on my ends, and it works perfectly both ways. If you’re looking for something to improve the overall health, thickness, and appearance of your hair, this Batana Oil is definitely worth trying. It gives that “salon-quality” feel right at home.

Hair Growth Game Changer
Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Game-Changer for Hair Growth & Thickness I am seriously impressed with this 100% raw organic Batana oil. I’ve tried so many hair growth products, and this is one of the few that actually delivers real results. Within just a couple of weeks, I noticed my hair feeling softer, stronger, and way more hydrated. The biggest difference for me has been in thickness—my hair looks fuller, and I’m seeing new growth, especially around my hairline. It also adds a really healthy shine without making my hair feel greasy or weighed down. I love that it’s all-natural and unprocessed—you can tell it’s the real deal. A little goes a long way, so the jar will last you a while. I use it a few times a week as a scalp treatment and even on my ends to prevent dryness. If you’re struggling with thinning, breakage, or just want healthier, longer hair, I highly recommend giving this a try. Definitely a staple in my routine now!

This product is helping my afro hair truly thrive!
Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've used this product for 1 month so far. Applying to my scalp, hair and the ends of hair approx 1-2 times per week. These are my benefits on my long afro hair: - First off, my scalp doesn't particularly like oil on it, it would trigger itching, dandruff, etc., but it certainly loves this stuff. - bald spots started growing back in. - drastic reduction in hair shed. - For a long while, I had difficulty retaining hair moisture. My hair is FINALLY getting the nourishment and moisture it needs and deserves. - hair is noticeably softer and even more manageable. - I detangled my entire head within 15 minutes the other day which is a first for me. - Hair is thickening. Which in my opinion is because my hair is shedding less. Like my braids appear half an inch thicker than they were. - Scalp stopped itching. - Dandruff stopped. As far as the scent goes, it smells soo good to me. i read authentic batana oil is supposed to smell like burnt coffee. Maybe it's just me but it smells like caramelized honey. All in all I'm soo happy i was guided to batana oil because it has done wonders for me in such a short period of time. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend.
