Cartographies: Meditations on TravelOn the impulse behind Cartographies, Marjorie Agos n writes, "I have always wanted to understand the meaning of displacement and the quest or longing for home." In these lyrical meditations in prose and poetry, Agos n evokes the many places on four continents she has visited or called home. Recording personal and spiritual voyages, the author opens herself to follow the ambiguous, secret map of her memory, which "does not betray." Agos n's journey

On the impulse behind Cartographies, Marjorie Agos n writes, "I have always wanted to understand the meaning of displacement and the quest or longing for home." In these lyrical meditations in prose and poetry, Agos n evokes the many places on four continents she has visited or called home. Recording personal and spiritual voyages, the author opens herself to follow the ambiguous, secret map of her memory, which "does not betray."

Agos n's journey begins in Chile, where she spent her childhood before her family left in the early days of the Pinochet dictatorship. Of Santiago Agos n writes, "Day and night I think about my city. I dream the dream of all exiles." Agos n also travels to Prague and Vienna, ancestral homes of her grandparents, and to Valpara so in Chile, which received them as immigrants. Kneeling among the yellow mounds at the Terezin concentration camp, where twenty-two of her relatives died, Agos n places "small stones, shrubs, the stuff of life on graves I did not recognize."

And then on through the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Americas . . . Everywhere, she is drawn to women in whose devotion and creativity she sees a deep vein of hope--from Julia, keeper of the synagogue at Rhodes, to the women potters in the Chilean town of Pomaire.

Agos n writes of diaspora, exile, and oppression, yet only to highlight the dignity and valor of those who find refuge in their humanity and their art, in community and tradition. Cartographies shows us what can be found when we journey with openness, as approachable to strangers as we are to ourselves.

Handy Compact Trimmer
I really like how this trimmer has two functions in one, it makes things super convenient. It’s small and easy to hold, so I can use it on different areas without feeling awkward. I tried it on both legs and underarms, and it gave a smooth finish without irritation. The design makes it easy to switch between trimming and shaving, which is a nice touch. I also appreciate that it’s waterproof, so I can just rinse it clean after using it. Overall, it feels like a simple and practical tool to keep around for quick grooming.

efficiently remove body hair
It is excellent bikini trimmer to trim overgrown hair. Works great and super easy to use. It's easy to handle, charges quickly, and trims without irritation. I like the 2 in 1 dual side design. The round head hair remover works very efficient and after removal of arm hair, I don't feel any pain. And the residue hair could be released from the device easily. Perfect for travel or quick touch-ups at home. Love the cute design and color. It is affordable bikini trimmer that gets the job done without irritation or nicks.

Functional
I used to get cuts when using regular razors but ever since I switched to this electric razor, I no longer have to worry about getting hurt. The blade is extremely sharp yet gentle and provides a smooth shave on my face, legs, underarms and other areas without any pain. The waterproof feature makes cleaning easy. I can simply rinse it under the tap. The rechargeable design is also very convenient. It's small and portable easy to take on business trips and travels! The shaver glides smoothly on underarms and the detailer head gives perfect shaping for bikini lines. Fully waterproof for shower use and the self cleaning blades rinse effortlessly.

A little drying but amazing
First thing to note is this is a soap, not a cleansing bar, so it WILL dry you out if you use it too much. but the smell is irresistible, and it definitely conditions your skin well. I wouldn't say it has a slimy texture like advertised, but it is still really pleasant and the foam is so rich with herbal aromas. Definitely not a good value for the money, but I consider this like a luxury splurge soap bar for when I want to treat my senses rather than a daily driver cleanser bar.
