The most absurd, hilarious, and ridiculous travelogue ever told, by two hit-TV comedy writers who raced each other around the world--for bragging rights and a very expensive bottle of Scotch

It started as a friendly wager: two old friends from The Harvard Lampoon, Steve Hely and Vali Chandrasekaran now hotshot Hollywood scribes, challenged each other to a race around the globe in opposite directions. There was only one rule: no airplanes. The first man to cross every line of longitude and arrive back in L.A. would win Scotch and infamy. But little did one racer know that the other planned to cheat him out of the big prize by way of a ride on a quarter-million-dollar jet pack.

What follows is a pair of hilarious, hazardous, and eye-opening journeys into the farthest corners of the world. From the West Bank to the Aleutian Islands, the slums of Rio to the steppes of Mongolia, traveling by ocean freighter and the Trans-Siberian Railway (pranking each other mercilessly along the way), Vali and Steve plunge eagerly and ill-prepared into global adventure.

The Ridiculous Race is a comic travelogue unlike any other, an outrageous tale of two gentlemen travelers who can't wait to don baggy cardigan sweaters, clench corncob pipes between their teeth, and yell at their sons, "You lazy bums When we were your age, we raced around the world without airplanes "

Good for skincare
Not even just good for eczema but also one of the best skincare products i’ve found for dry and dull skin. It does come on a little greasy but it gets absorbed quickly and has a very subtle but nice smell.

Finally found something to help with daughters eczema!
This product was just a simple next choice on our eczema journey with my daughters skin. We have tried most of the ointments and lotion available over the counter and only found slight relief with topical steroids. Due to my daughters age we always strayed from intense medical treatments to allow her body to grow as natural as possible. We have been to allergists, dermatologists and even regular doctor visits with some help but nothing that compares to this products outcome. My daughter hates her daily routine of lotion and how she was left feeling after application. Someone mentioned this product so we gave it an honest try. IT WORKS. I have no clue as to why it works so well because we cannot find a singular cause for the eczema, but since purchasing this product and using it once a day only on affected areas. Her skin is now clearer than EVER before, including when we tried topical steroids. She doesn't dread her bedtime routine any more and sometimes will even apply it herself. This has taken my daughters dry, flaky, cracked, itchy and sometimes bleeding skin and repaired it to normal and soft to the touch. I recommend this to anyone who has tried everything and to anyone who is just starting to look. I am receiving absolutely no compensation for this review but the fact that my daughter is now able to sleep all night. I cannot say it will work for everyone but can say that without a doubt has worked for us. One tube will usually last a month and sometimes longer, so it is very affordable. I will say that while it does not fully relieve her itching, it does make it much more bearable. She is young so struggled with not scratching but now is able to recognize her scratching and stop

ECZEMA HONEY Lotion Stick
I am in love with this stick moisturizer by Eczema Honey. I don't have eczema, but wanted a travel friendly, face/body friendly, ingredient friendly super moisterizer. This ticks all the boxes and more. A little goes a long way, it really does soak in without being greasy or oily, but can be layered for a more intense moisture. (More will leave you feeling with a little slip.) The light lavender scent is wonderful, not over whelming or too medicinal. Just pretty light lavender floral. I use this as a night cream and my face is so very soft in the morning. As a hand cream it's makes my skin look plump. Its fast and easy to use on my legs and body. It warms up quickly so there is no skin tugging. This is an amazing quality and the price is just right for how great this is! It's a staple for me.

Great product
Really helps with eczema! Yes it can be a little gritty but if you use your fingers and heat it up a little the grittiness disappears. Great item to leave in your purse, car or desk in case the eczema itch starts up.

Great for toddler eczema
Such a nice on-the-go option! We leave this in the car for quick application when my daughter’s eczema on her ankles starts acting up (she’s 2 and will scratch it while in her car seat). It helps almost instantly to minimize irritation. The consistency is smooth, doesn’t melt in the warmth, absorbs fast, and has a neutral smell. Very happy with this product and will buy more when we run out!
