«En esta novela, la catástrofe se cuenta con precisión de cronista y belleza poética. Sus voces transcurren entre el tono íntimo y devastador de un diario del desastre y la mirada colectiva de la memoria que ve la esperanza en el linaje de resistencias que han enfrentado al poder desde tiempos ancestrales. Xavier Navarro Aquino nos entrega así una primera novela sobre el huracán que marcó un antes y un después en la historia de la isla». --Joel Cintrón Arbasetti, periodista y autor de El Local y Sobre un animal muerto

Es septiembre de 2017 y el huracán María acaba de arrasar con Puerto Rico. Camila se siente perturbada por la muerte de su hermana, Marisol. Todo empezó cuando le arrancó un pedacito, el meñique que sobresalía del fango, tras el deslizamiento de tierra que se la llevó. Incapaz de desprenderse de ella, Camila carga con su cuerpo hasta llegar al supuesto paraíso perdido llamado «Memoria».

Urayoán, el profeta soñador pero peligroso de Memoria, tiene planes para su nueva sociedad: aspira a un nuevo orden tras el abandono del Gobierno. El paraíso que predica seduce a jóvenes de toda la isla, entre ellos a Pescao, Moriviví y Banto. Todos ellos tendrán que navegar el ascenso entre llamas del tirano Urayoán y enfrentarse a sus impulsos macabros para poder reclamar su hogar, una isla estremecida tanto por el paso impetuoso de María como por la violencia humana.

Velorio es la ansiada y desgarradora novela poshuracán que despierta nuestros miedos más profundos, pero que apela también a la voluntad y la fuerza de todo un pueblo a la hora de enfrentarnos a los corruptos en poder.

I’m Tan AF
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
Couldn’t ask for a better tanning oil. The oil itself and lightweight and more hydrating feeling than greasy. I get a really good color after one use and my skin feels nourished. Smells great too!

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.
