Untangling My ChopsticksTwo years out of college and with a degree from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, Victoria Riccardi left a boyfriend, a rent controlled New York City apartment, and a plum job in advertising to move to Kyoto to study kaiseki, the exquisitely refined form of cooking that accompanies the formal Japanese tea ceremony.

Two years out of college and with a degree from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, Victoria Riccardi left a boyfriend, a rent-controlled New York City apartment, and a plum job in advertising to move to Kyoto to study kaiseki, the exquisitely refined form of cooking that accompanies the formal Japanese tea ceremony. She arrived in Kyoto, a city she had dreamed about but never seen, with two bags, an open-ended plane ticket, and the ability to speak only sushi-bar Japanese. She left a year later, having learned the language, the art of kaiseki, and what was truly important to her. Through special introductions and personal favors, Victoria was able to attend one of Kyoto's most prestigious tea schools, where this ago-old Japanese art has been preserved for generations and where she was taken under the wing of an American expatriate who became her mentor in the highly choreographed rituals of this extraordinary culinary discipline. During her year in Kyoto, Victoria explored the mysterious and rarefied world of tea kaiseki, living a life inaccessible to most foreigners. She also discovered the beguiling realm of modern-day Japanese food--the restaurants, specialty shops, and supermarkets. She participated in many fast-disappearing culinary customs, including making mochi (chewy rice cakes) by hand, a beloved family ritual barely surviving in a mechanized age. She celebrated the annual cleansing rites of New Year's, donning an elaborate kimono and obi for a thirty-four-course extravaganza. She includes twenty-five recipes for favorite dishes she encountered, such as Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl, Japanese Beef and Vegetable Hotpot, and Green-Tea Cooked Salmon Over Rice. Untangling My Chopsticks is a sumptuous journey into the tastes, traditions, and exotic undercurrents of Japan. It is also a coming-of-age tale steeped in history and ancient customs, a thoughtful meditation on life, love, and learning in another land.Binding Type: Paperback

Quality. Price
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I have bought this lotion alot I the past. But this is the best price I have got. It is the main reason for my purchase other than I liked the lotion. If you have never tried this lotion then dont hesitate, its pretty good stuff. I recently I have became more conscious of the ingrediants on lotions so I switched. But I wouldn't hesitate to use this. Save some money and time and buy it here if you are already a regular user. And if you looking to try it out I wouldn't hesitate unless you are ingrediants conscious. It definitely moisturizes the skin untill your next shower. Feels good. Not greasy. Apply for any sort of dry skin. And it smells good if that's one of your requirements.

Love This Product on My Skin. Buy the 3-Pack for Epic Savings
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I always recommend checking Amazon for three-packs, family packs, or value bundles of products you use all the time, because that’s usually where you start seeing real savings. Everyday household products can get expensive when you’re constantly buying single bottles at grocery stores, so finding a good bulk deal really does make a difference over time.
That’s especially true with a quality product like Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion. It’s a great moisturizer, works well for sensitive skin like mine, and leaves your skin feeling soft without feeling overly greasy. The scent is phenomenal too, which makes it something you actually enjoy using regularly instead of just treating like another basic lotion.
What I also like about this three-pack is that the bottles are lightweight and easy to handle. They’re convenient enough to take on an overnight trip or keep stored neatly in the bathroom without taking up too much room. And because you’re getting multiple bottles at once, you don’t feel like you’re constantly running back to the store every couple of weeks.
If you actually compare prices and pay attention to sales, you’ll notice these bundles on Amazon can end up being significantly cheaper than buying individual bottles locally at a grocery or department store. The value is definitely there with the three-count package, especially for a name-brand product that consistently works well.
Highly recommended if this is already a product you use regularly.

Highly hydrating and non-greasy
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I’ve been using Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion for quite some time, and it’s easily one of the best lotions for daily use. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving that heavy, greasy residue behind, which is a huge plus when I’m getting ready in the morning.
The cocoa butter scent is subtle and pleasant—not overpowering—and it does a fantastic job of keeping skin hydrated throughout the day, even in drier climates. Having the 3-count pack is super convenient, as it ensures I’m stocked up for a while. It’s a reliable, high-quality moisturizer that consistently delivers on its promise of a healthy, radiant glow.

Good lotion
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
Vaseline intensive care just makes really good lotion. I’ve never been steered wrong by them. And getting these on clearance was so good. I’m still on my first bottle, but I don’t put it on every day. Maybe twice a week. So the bottle has lasted seven months so far and there’s still a quarter of the bottle left. That means I have at least two years worth of lotion for $10. Can’t beat that. And it’s a good lotion to boot. The fragrance isn’t too strong. It absorbs really quickly and keeps your skin soft. The pump works great. I haven’t gotten any clogs or anything yet. Though, I usually don’t have those if I’m using it as often as I have been. Highly recommend would buy again… in a couple years.

Decent lotion, good for not so dry climate.
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This lotion smells amazing. I usually don’t go for scented lotion but I’m a sucker for sweet chocolate-y scents. This lotion smells like brownies. It’s not particularly mild so make sure you’re okay with it.
It’s not a thick lotion in my book, has a yogurt consistency. You can feel the moisturizing effect as soon as you put this lotion on. It is a comforting lotion without being sticky or heavy, easy to absorb into skin.
Although very nice and comfortable feeling when putting on, it doesn’t last through the next day in Colorado winter. I have to use it one more time on my legs during the day otherwise I get itchy. I apply this lotion at night after shower and I don’t shower put lotion on the next morning. If you do shower and lotion up in the morning then this might be good enough for a whole day. I’m used to applying lotions on damp skin but this lotion is very easy to spread, feels nice going on my dry legs as well.
I love using it after washing my hands. I apply lotion every time I wash my hands and this lotion works great in that regard. It doesn’t feel greasy or particularly slippery when I wash my hands again either.
I might try another lotion for winter once I finish these bottles but this is definitely a solid product, and I can see myself repurchasing in the future.
