“A Millennial New Yorker, a Stewart Island fisherman, and a WW?II veteran walk into a bar...” Maudie’s on the run – from New York and from her past – but she runs headlong into her future when she ends up on Rakiura Stewart Island on assignment to cover Aotearoa New Zealand’s southernmost running trails. Or, as her new fisherman friend Vil puts it: “Giving brainless bucket-listers hard-ons for islands like mine.” She quickly becomes absorbed into island life and once she hears tales of buried treasure, Maudie embarks on a dogged pursuit of the truth, increasingly hooked by gossipy hints. Clues and waypoints are buried in old SINs (Stewart Island News) and pieces of the puzzle are scrawled on buoys washed up on the pages. Maudie doesn’t cut a convincing detective figure. She’s an erratic, impulsive, semi-alcoholic millennial, but nothing breaks her stride as she wades into the world of laconic locals and dune grass politics. Like a daydreaming runner, the narrative weaves, loops, and backtracks, taking in p?ua divers, whales, yellow-eyed penguins, muttonbirds, floating libraries and Sunday pub quizzers. Welcome to a tale of romance, adventure, and a treasure hunt which will take you through decades and landscapes, from the beaches of Rakiura Stewart Island to the battlefield of Monte Cassino, to post-war Paris, to the Twin Towers rebuild. Vast and sweeping in scope, this brilliant debut novel is braided with stories of love and war, loss, relationships, island lore, and the joys of running. ?A Runner’s Guide to Rakiura is also playful, funny, and romantic, and like any good treasure hunt, there will be reckonings, redemptions, and yes… there will be treasure.

Sticky and unpleasant smelling
It’s thin and watery and leaves a sticky feeling on your skin that makes you want to wash your hands. It’s fragrance free but somehow has an unpleasant smell. The regular 365 brand fragrance free “moisturizing Lotion” that I normally buy when it’s available is MUCH better

Great for dry skin
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I use this lotion to help with my dry skin and it is the only one that really helps. I live that it doesn't smell funky. it's lightweight on my skin and not too thick . it is strong enough to relieve my skin and gives my skin a nice glow . With 3 in the package it provides quality in quantity at a good price. The bottles come wrapped tight so there wasn't any leakage in the bottles. The bottles are big enough to provide enough to last

Quality. Price
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I have bought this lotion alot I the past. But this is the best price I have got. It is the main reason for my purchase other than I liked the lotion. If you have never tried this lotion then dont hesitate, its pretty good stuff. I recently I have became more conscious of the ingrediants on lotions so I switched. But I wouldn't hesitate to use this. Save some money and time and buy it here if you are already a regular user. And if you looking to try it out I wouldn't hesitate unless you are ingrediants conscious. It definitely moisturizes the skin untill your next shower. Feels good. Not greasy. Apply for any sort of dry skin. And it smells good if that's one of your requirements.

Love This Product on My Skin. Buy the 3-Pack for Epic Savings
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I always recommend checking Amazon for three-packs, family packs, or value bundles of products you use all the time, because that’s usually where you start seeing real savings. Everyday household products can get expensive when you’re constantly buying single bottles at grocery stores, so finding a good bulk deal really does make a difference over time.
That’s especially true with a quality product like Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion. It’s a great moisturizer, works well for sensitive skin like mine, and leaves your skin feeling soft without feeling overly greasy. The scent is phenomenal too, which makes it something you actually enjoy using regularly instead of just treating like another basic lotion.
What I also like about this three-pack is that the bottles are lightweight and easy to handle. They’re convenient enough to take on an overnight trip or keep stored neatly in the bathroom without taking up too much room. And because you’re getting multiple bottles at once, you don’t feel like you’re constantly running back to the store every couple of weeks.
If you actually compare prices and pay attention to sales, you’ll notice these bundles on Amazon can end up being significantly cheaper than buying individual bottles locally at a grocery or department store. The value is definitely there with the three-count package, especially for a name-brand product that consistently works well.
Highly recommended if this is already a product you use regularly.
