Description:
Smell the chlorine, taste the hot chips and feel the
burning concrete underfoot as you read these stories of Australian childhoods
at the pool.
Swimming is a central part of most Australian childhoods. We
idealise beaches and surf, but for many kids the local pool – whether it's an ocean,
tidal or a chlorinated pool – is where they pass summer days. Pools are places
of imagination, daring, belonging, freedom, friendship and romance. For some
they are places of hard-core swimming training.
This delightful, nostalgic anthology brings together
reflections and recollections about the swimming pools of childhood from a
range of Australians of diverse ages and backgrounds, well known and
not-so-famous, including Trent Dalton, Leah Purcell, Shane Gould, Bryan Brown
and Merrick Watts.
Evocative, funny and sometimes bittersweet, 28 people
remember the pools that shaped their childhoods. Everyone who has ever dived
into their local Olympic pool, bush waterhole or saltwater baths will want to
submerge themselves in this beautiful book.
'A joyful, moving, nostalgic and original take at what it means to be Australian. Dive in!' —Robert Drewe
'These immersive stories remind us that the swimming pool is
not just the place we first learn to sink or swim. It's a space of respite and
renewal, playtime and pilgrimage, limerence and liminality, community and
connection. Dive in – go on – I double dare you.' —Sian Prior
'Crisscrossing the nation, spanning generations and histories, these stories celebrate the joy and freedom of being a body in water. Read it while beside your favourite b

Mostly great
I think it could use a little less “antiqueing” around the nose. I might paint it to make that area look less dirty. Other than that i really enjoy it!

Excellent gentle creamy light foaming non-active cleanser - better than PC!
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Oh my goodness I LOVE this cleanser! I already have and use Remedy deep moisturizing cream in the white bottle- it is an excellent basic, no actives, hydrating moisturizer that is perfect for post laser or if you have any flare ups and cannot use actives. Oily skin will not like it, it is too moisturizing and it will not absorb fast enough for you. Their lighter version will be better for you.
My HG lip balm is remedy- it is like lip silk, stays nicely balmy and last for about an hour then dries down and my lips are still moisturized and I am not searching for my lip balm to rehydrate—- exactly what I want in a lip balm, especially after wearing a lip color that dried me out. My other HG lip balm is Mario b and perlier. For reference I greatly dislike Sara h and lanege.
Ok so now you know what I like and what I do not like so you can better understand what I think of the product and how this might work out for you. This cleanser is perfect for both oily and dry because of how it goes from a cream to LIGHTLY foaming. I use PC ultra hydrating cream cleanser for years because it so creamy and leaves my skin soft, but I do need to cleanse 2x if I wore heavier makeup and/or sunscreen that day because it does not foam at all—- which is a very good thing for those with dry skin. The foaming agent can be too drying for many w/ dry skin. That cleanser has also went sky high in price to nearly double what it was 5 years ago. Here comes this new remedy cleanser, my new HG!
Remedy has somehow found a happy sweet spot with just enough foam to get at the sunscreen and mascara, but is still nice and creamy that leaves my skin soft! It is also half the price of PC, which it should be because there aren’t any expensive actives in this to drive up the price! This is a GOOD thing in your cleanser. You do not need actives in your cleanser unless you are going to leave the cleanser on your skin for at least 10-15 min. Very rarely do I have time for that- I gotta get in and get moving. I’ll spend that time on my post shower skincare and hair are and maybe a quiet cup of coffee. This is hands down one of the best cleanser I have ever used. Someone mentioned they used the remedy cleaning balm first and then this cleanser it was fantastic together—- ty for that tip! I will be trying that!
