Here is the enlightening story of an esteemed and eloquent Mi'kmaq woman whose message of "gentle persuasion" has enriched the life of a nation.

Rita Joe is celebrated as a poet, an educator, and an ambassador. In 1989, she accepted the Order of Canada "on behalf of native people across the nation." In this spirit she tells her story and, by her example, illustrates the experiences of an entire generation of aboriginal women in Canada.

Song of Rita Joe is the story of Joe's remarkable life: her education in an Indian residential school, her turbulent marriage, and the daily struggles within her family and community. It is the story of how Joe's battles with racism, sexism, poverty, and personal demons became the catalyst for her first poems and allowed her to reclaim her aboriginal heritage. Today, her story continues: as she moves into old age, Joe writes that her lifelong spiritual quest is ever deepening.

Hydration and Firming in One Amazing Cream
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Since I started using this Dove Pro-Retinol + Firming cream, I honestly noticed a difference in my skin. I love that it’s not heavy or greasy—it absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling super soft from the very first application. One thing that really surprised me is how well it keeps my skin hydrated for a long time, especially in areas where I usually feel dryness. With consistent use, my skin feels firmer and looks healthier and more cared for. I also like that it doesn’t irritate my skin (which is very important to me), and the scent is light and pleasant—not overpowering at all. This is definitely a product I would buy again, especially if you’re looking for deep hydration with an added firming benefit without spending too much.

Great moisturizer
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the most pleasant and effective moisturizer I’ve tried. It’s very smooth and creamy, and it soaks in quickly. Ends dry, itchy skin on my legs damaged by daily golfing in shorts.
