"A warm, generous and hilarious guide through the writer's world and its treacherous swamps." --Los Angeles Times

Advice on writing and on life from an acclaimed bestselling author:
"Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he'd had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, 'Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'"

Goes great with pressed powder foundation!
Size: 0.4 fl oz (Pack of 1)
I purchased the mini size of this product to keep in my purse. I use the mist with my Jane Iredell pressed powder foundation. I use one spray after the application of Powder and then I use again in the afternoon just for a refresh. It makes my skin glow. It’s lightweight and the application is easy. It doesn’t make the powder feel heavy on my face. highly recommend.

an amazing primer
Style: Brightening
This is an amazing primer. I only use it when I'm dressing up since it is expensive. It has always helped minimize my pores and helped smooth the appearance of my makeup. I've been using this primer for years. I first learned about this makeup brand from my dermatologist. I am acne prone and none of their products break me out.

Best Foundation Primer
Style: Brightening
Works incredibly well as a foundation primer. Once I found this ( a sample given to me) I will never use moisturizer underneath my foundation. This product is amazing at creating the perfect surface for one of my two foundation products - Clinique or Laura Mercier (Depends on the season for me as to which I use!) No pilling of my foundation, which always happened to me even if I used expensive moisturizer! This is so much better. Apply, then give yourself a minute before applying foundation.

LOVE THIS MAKEUP PRIMER
Style: Brightening
I have been using this PRIMER for several months. The makeup goes on much smoother, the age spots are a lot less noticeable, and my makeup last throughout the day. Using Jane Iredale Facial Primer and Brightener is now part of my makeup routine.

Finally, a clean, sheer non-greasy primer and brightener!
Style: Brightening
I fortunately discovered this product several years ago, and have since enjoyed using it daily along with the lightweight tinted moisturizer and other items. I do not look "caked", shiny or oily. Perfect make-up for a natural, healthy appearance. Also, I've noticed benefits to my overall skin condition. I highly recommend Jane Iredale makeup, and coming from a 78 year old lady who likes to look good, that is indeed a compliment.
