Lucie Blackman--tall, blond, twenty-one years old--stepped out into the vastness of Tokyo in the summer of 2000, and disappeared forever. The following winter, her dismembered remains were found buried in a seaside cave.

Richard Lloyd Parry, an award-winning foreign correspondent, covered Lucie's disappearance and followed the massive search for her, the long investigation, and the even longer trial. Over ten years, he earned the trust of her family and friends, won unique access to the Japanese detectives and Japan's convoluted legal system, and delved deep into the mind of the man accused of the crime, Joji Obara, described by the judge as unprecedented and extremely evil.

The result is a book at once thrilling and revelatory, In Cold Blood for our times (Chris Cleave, author of Incendiary and Little Bee).

Health
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Seed Oil
I recently started incorporating GuruNanda's Black Seed Oil into my daily routine, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results! As someone who values natural remedies and holistic health practices, I've been searching for a high-quality black seed oil, and GuruNanda delivers exactly what I was looking for. First and foremost, the cold-pressed extraction method ensures that all the potent nutrients and compounds found in nigella sativa seeds are preserved, providing maximum benefits for my health and wellness. I appreciate knowing that I'm getting a pure and unadulterated product without any added fillers or artificial ingredients. One of the things I love most about this black seed oil is its versatility. Not only can it be taken orally for its numerous health benefits, but it can also be used topically for skincare and haircare purposes. I've been adding a few drops to my morning smoothies or salads for an added boost of nutrition, and I've noticed improvements in my overall well-being, including increased energy levels and a stronger immune system. Additionally, I've been using GuruNanda's Black Seed Oil as part of my skincare routine, and the results have been phenomenal. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties have helped to reduce redness and irritation, leaving my skin looking and feeling smoother and more radiant than ever before. Overall, I can't recommend GuruNanda's Black Seed Oil highly enough. It's a pure, potent, and multipurpose product that has quickly become a staple in my daily regimen. Whether you're looking to support your immune system, improve your skin health, or enhance your overall well-being, this black seed oil is definitely worth trying.

A Lifesaver for Dry Mouth, Without That Weird Aftertaste 👏
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
If you know, you know: dry mouth is not just an inconvenience, it’s downright uncomfortable. I’ve tried several brands over the years, but Biotène is the one that consistently keeps my mouth feeling fresh without that overpowering artificial mint or gritty texture. This formula is gentle but effective, no burning, no foamy overload, and no funky aftertaste. It’s also a huge win that it’s sulfate-free and doesn’t irritate my gums like some drugstore pastes do. The mint is subtle but refreshing, and my mouth actually feels hydrated afterward (which is wild to say about a toothpaste, but here we are). If you deal with dry mouth from medication, menopause, or just bad luck, this one’s worth every penny. ✨ Pro tip: Keep a travel size in your bag if you’re heading out for the day. Nothing ruins a coffee date like feeling like your tongue is made of sandpaper. 10/10 recommend.

Dry Mouth
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have been diagnosed with Dry Mouth, what a problem this is! My dentist recommended toothpaste for dry mouth; I selected Biotene Fluoride toothpaste for daily use. I definitely use it at night before going to bed to help keep my mouth less dry. I also use Biotene mouth wash and other products that I'll rate another time. I love this toothpaste; I believe it's helpful for my diagnosis.

Biotène Fluoride Toothpaste for Dry Mouth Symptoms
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have been using this toothpaste on and off for a few years ever since I got a dry mouth. It is very good and leaves your mouth feeling fresh. Unfortunately it doesn't get rid of your dry mouth.

Chemical free is important
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I don’t like doing fluoride, but I do know that some fluoride is important so this is the cleanest fluoride toothpaste I could find and I use it in conjunction with a non-fluoride toothpaste I have I love the flavor. I love the fact that it doesn’t have a lot of the bad chemicals in it.
