Elkeen het ’n heelal in hul mond. Keuses wat jou wentelbaan van uur tot uur bepaal.
Willemien is keelvol vir dik wees. En bang wees vir kaas en vir inkopies doen. Hoe kan mens so verwyderd van jouself wees dat jy van buite liederlik obees is, maar in jou kop sing jy vry en kaal op ’n krans? Sy wonder waar kom die rondomskrik van haar lyf vandaan terwyl sy en haar sus in die vretende hitte van die Richtersveld ’n kluis in ’n winkeltrollie sleep. Willemien is vasbeslote om dit oor ’n afgrond te boender.
Voor hul eindbestemming het die langpad se strepe Willemien soos ’n ritssluiter oopgetrek. Dit smaak haar daar is ’n heelal op haar tong. Vir eens moes sy haar sprokieskarakter opgee om haar ware self te wees én te wys. Sy het dekades laas haar lyf bewoon. Haar suster moes hoor van die verlede. Van hul aardige ouers wat banger was vir oorgewig as ’n grondeis. ’n Ma wat paniekaanvalle oor suiwel en selluliet gekry het en ’n pa wat geen imperfeksie by sy vrou of dogters geduld het nie. Kilogram vir kilogram wou Willemien bieg en haarself dun praat. Die tong het immers mag oor lewe en dood.
Dié is ook die storie van Pa. Húlle pa. ’n Lagslimme Afrikaanse Al Capone, wie se innoverende sakeondernemings hom soms gedwing het om sy kantoor van agter tralies te bedryf. In Palm Springs dra Pa se lyfwagte koeldrank vir die fbi-agente aan vanwaar hulle die dollarboer en sy trigger-happy brigade dophou.
Van Kaapstad na San Francisco en ’n dwelmdieet in Sri Lanka – met ontvoerings, partytjies, ’n seksles in Hongkong se hawe en ’n onvermydelike ontmoeting met ’n onbekende man – tref Anoeschka von Meck se nuutste roman jou soos ’n reusegolf en spoel sy die verhoudings oop wat van ons soekende, spirituele wesens maak.
Anoeschka von Meck is die skrywer van die wegholsukses Vaselinetjie, wat meer as 100 000 boeke verkoop het. Dié roman wen die Jan Rabieprys, die mer-prys vir jeuglektuur en ’n M-Net-prys. Die filmweergawe word as beste rolprent by die Silwerskermfees in 2017 bekroon en wen die titel Best Humanitarian Film by die Sedona International Film Festival in 2018.
Von Meck, wie se mense boere in die suide van Namibië was, het haar loopbaan as joernalis by Die Republikein in Windhoek begin. Sy het by verskeie koerante, insluitende Rapport in Kaapstad gewerk. In 2014 word sy aangewys as Beste Harde Nuus- skrywer vir gemeenskapskoerante. Haar eerste roman, Annerkant die longdrop, verskyn in 1997 en Die Ontwaking: Die lewe van Essie Honiball, ’n biografie oor dié mistieke denker, in 2010.
In 2016 reis Von Meck alleen deur Suid-Afrika en maak sewe maande lank opnames vir Afrikaans.com oor unieke variasies in Afrikaans. Sy durf weer die langpad aan in 2019, hierdie keer om onderhoude met boere in droogte te voer. Net voor die droogte my breek verskyn dieselfde jaar.
Op sestien het Von Meck haar pa oorsee gevolg. Sy het haar skoolrekord met Tipp-Ex vervals en nooit standerd agt voltooi nie. Deur genade alleen word sy later by John F Kennedy University in San Francisco toegelaat, waar sy marinebiologie en vergelykende godsdiens studeer. Later verwerf sy ’n wettige ba-graad in argeologie aan die Universiteit van Kaapstad. Hierna volg ’n hod en ’n meestersgraad in Antieke Oosterse Studies aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch, asook ’n doktorsgraad in Kreatiewe Skryfkuns aan die Universiteit van Pretoria.
Von Meck woon tans op die platteland en probeer ’n resep vir suiwelvrye kaas te vervolmaak. Sy beskou haarself as ’n interdimensionele ewigheidswese wat oortuig is ’n bonatuurlike lewe behoort die nuwe normaal te wees.

Best sunscreen ever
Set name: Face - 1.7 oz.
I love how light it is, it doesn’t leave a white cast. It even leaves skin looking glowy. It also feels moisturizing. I have sensitive skin that breaks out with sunscreen. It doesn’t breakout with this one! I also love that it’s hsa eligible! Have already recommended and shared with others. I will never switch to another sunscreen.

Works great but very runny
Set name: Face - 1.7 oz.
I’d call this a liquid and not lotion. It literally pours out of the tube without even squeezing so has to be held upright at all times when the cap is off. Makes a real mess (and I do shake it well before opening as the instructions say).
Other than the packaging, I really like the product. It blends well with no white cast after rubbing in, is moisturizing without looking greasy at all or causing breakouts, and has provided good sun protection. Impressed! Also like that while water and sweatproof, it washes off with a gentle face cleanser at the end of the day unlike some of the zinc-based products I’ve tried that leave a thick coating and require scrubbing.
This is my first Blue Lizard product and I’ll probably keep using it as a daily sunscreen—but definitely not to throw in a bag and take to the beach because of the messy application. Bought the stick version to try out.

Great for sensitive skin and actually dries clear!
Set name: Body - 3 oz., Set name: Body - 3 oz.
I'm trying to be on top of my sunscreen application after YEARS of never wearing it. My skin is extremely sensitive and prone to eczema. Any chemical sunscreen that was applied to my body (especially the elbow/knee pits) would cause me to break out in horrible eczema patches. I switched to mineral sunscreen, but everything left a ghostly white sheen.
Luckily, this sunscreen does exactly as advertised. I've been using it daily for a week straight, and I have had no problems with it. The consistency of this product is thick, kinda sticky at first, and a bit hard to blend/spread out, but I think that's bound to happen with any sunscreen that's actually protective. It may also seem that it leaves a white cast initially, but after letting it dry for a minute or two, it becomes clear.
Overall I can't recommend this enough, and I'm glad to finally have a sensitive-skin-friendly mineral sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast :)

Where has this been my whole life
Set name: Face - 1.7 oz., Set name: Face - 1.7 oz.
Let me give you some background. I’m middle eastern. That means I tan well but have two different skin tones; my January skin and my July skin. I wear a watch and I’ve been out of the sun since September. My tan hasn’t totally faded but the lighter band, that’s my real skin color. That’s how I want to be all over.
I always try to make better choices in my skin products. I have tried so many mineral based sunscreens for my face and body but I usually end up returning to a chemical based one for several reasons.
HOWEVER, I have finally found the product I’ve been searching for. Blue Lizard leaves no white cast on my skin. It’s easy to rub in. It also does not get trapped in my dense, black eyebrows the way other products did. It would gross me out and look like I had flakes in my eyebrows. I just spent the week at Universal Studios and I did not burn. I didn’t tan either, which is great. Tanning is also a sign of sun damage. Chemical or mineral sunscreens often prevent sunburn but I still tan. I don’t want either. I am sold and will continue to buy this product. I feel great about that it has safer and better quality ingredients.

Works well but oily.
Set name: Face - 1.7 oz.
This works well but is not ideal if you want to wear under makeup. It has a very oily consistency. Price is good.
