A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of Major League Baseball...Whatever happened to Calico Joe? It began quietly enough with a pulled hamstring. The first baseman for the Cubs AAA affiliate in Wichita went down as he rounded third and headed for home. The next day, Jim Hickman, the first baseman for the Cubs, injured his back. The team suddenly needed someone to play first, so they reached down to their AA club in Midland, Texas, and called up a twenty-one-year-old named Joe Castle. He was the hottest player in AA and creating a buzz. In the summer of 1973 Joe Castle was the boy wonder of baseball, the greatest rookie anyone had ever seen. The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas dazzled Cub fans as he hit home run after home run, politely tipping his hat to the crowd as he shattered all rookie records. Calico Joe quickly became the idol of every baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-partying and hard-throwing Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren Tracey finally faced Calico Joe, Paul was in the stands, rooting for his idol but also for his Dad. Then Warren threw a fastball that would change their lives forever... In John Grisham's new novel the baseball is thrilling, but it's what happens off the field that makes CALICO JOE a classic.

Amazing Tanning lotion.
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
This is by far the best tanning lotion I've ever used
Goes on wet but absorbs completely. Doesn't leave your skin oily. It's not one for people with fare skin unless your used to the sun because theres no sunscreen.

Works amazingly but the scent is horrible like sweaty self tan
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
I’m giving this 3 stars due to the scent. It’s horrible. Not so much right away but after about 20 min and even after showering. I’m pretty sure it has self tanner in it. It doesn’t say this! So that’s bad. However, I had no orange on me anywhere or my hands.
The good, and if it weren’t for the scent? This stuff works so well! It’s so moisturizing without being too oily. It goes on good and evenly and doesn’t take much at all. My skin feels really good afterwards. It’s advertised as an intensifier and has no sunscreen which is what I wanted. But Omgosh the stink is real! Mixed with sweat it’s even worse.

Another B.tan product I loveeee
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
Loveeee! I only have experience using in a UV bed but it works wonderfully. Not super oily and gross on the skin, no strong odor but “summer” scent is light and refreshing. I do think it does have instant bronzer in it or potentially gradual tanning affects (like jergens lotion) because I had run a few errands after and my palms had gotten a tad orangey, it was gone after I exfoliated in shower though! Looking forward to using over summer
Love all b.tan products. The aerosol self tanner “tanned af” is the best for instant results!

Helped Tighten My Skin & Minimize Pores
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule, Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’ve loved the Dr. Melaxin Cyano Pink Spicule Serum! The bottle is small, but it lasted me around 6 months since I only use one pump every other night. When I first started using it, I noticed a tingling sensation, but over time my skin adjusted and I barely notice it now. I’ve definitely seen my pores appear smaller and my skin feels tighter and smoother after using it.

Great for pore reduction
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
This product works great!! it almost feels like an exfoliator. It reduced the pours on my nose, which were very big and now you can barely see them. I would recommend this product if you have large pores also make skin look firmer and smoother more for a night cream though.
