But, this discovery could end up potentially deathly ... Which way had Fate chosen for him then – triumph or death? Or maybe both? Clay Mask is a deeply psychological story of love, and the tragedy of mental illness; the story that is searching for the meaning and goals of humans' existence, but is also full of dangerous adventure. It's a novel. However, it is based on a true research study of the secrets of a human brain - its connections to the holographic universe, three-dimensional time, and the endless, mysterious, unbelievable possibilities hidden in 90 percent of its unopened part.
"In the pages of this book you will find hundreds of masks made by 150 different artists. Many are large enough to wear, and have their sizes and photographer listed in the captions. Most of them are sized to fit in a 3 inch square and are often shown at, or very close to, their actual size. Taken all together they form a sampler of polymer clay techniques and decorative styles as well as a large miniature collection of expressive art. It's just astounding, how much can be communicated with a mask!"--Introduction.
Born out of the popular blog Kale & Caramel, this sumptuously photographed and beautifully written cookbook presents eighty recipes for delicious vegan and vegetarian dishes featuring herbs and flowers, as well as luxurious do-it-yourself beauty products. Plant-whisperer, writer, and photographer Lily Diamond believes that herbs and flowers have the power to nourish inside and out. “Lily’s deep connection to nature is beautifully woven throughout this personal collection of recipes,” says award-winning vegetarian chef Amy Chaplin. Each chapter celebrates an aromatic herb or flower, including basil, cilantro, fennel, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, lavender, jasmine, rose, and orange blossom. Mollie Katzen, author of the beloved Moosewood Cookbook, calls the book “a gift, articulated through a poetic voice, original and bold.” The recipes tell a coming-of-age story through Lily’s kinship with plants, from a sun-drenched Maui childhood to healing from heartbreak and her mother’s death. With bright flavors, gorgeous scents, evocative stories, and more than one hundred photographs, Kale & Caramel creates a lush garden of experience open to harvest year round.

Achieve lasting health—without cutting calories or following dieting “rules”! Instead of obsessing about the quantity of food you eat, shift your focus to the quality, say Noelle Tarr and Stefani Ruper. The popular hosts of the Well-Fed Women podcast want you to make sure you’re getting enough food so that your body has the fuel and nourishment it needs to support a healthy, long, and energetic life. Noelle and Stefani know firsthand about the ups and downs of dieting. Like many people, they have struggled with confusing and frustrating health issues such as anxiety, infertility, and hormonal imbalance—but when they discovered that the secret to improving wellness was actually more food, they ditched the calorie counters and gave their bodies the nourishment they needed to heal. In the Coconuts and Kettlebells program, you’ll eat at least 2,000 calories a day—setting a minimum intake of fat, protein, and carbohydrates to ensure that your diet is full of nutrients. Noelle and Stefani identify the Big Four foods that cause the most health problems—grains, dairy, vegetable oils, and refined sugar. While many diets require you to eliminate these foods entirely, Coconuts and Kettlebells provides an easy-to-follow step-by-step system to test these foods and determine which you need to cut back on to feel better—and which you can eat without restrictions. To help you discover how your body responds to the Big Four, you’ll choose from two simple 4-week meal plans: one for Butter Lovers, people who tend to feel more satisfied eating higher ratios of fats, and one for Bread Lovers, people who tend to feel more satisfied eating higher ratios of carbs. Each meal plan comes with weekly shopping lists and instructions on how to batch cook, meal prep, and stock the pantry. In addition, you get more than 75 simple and delicious real food recipes, including: • Kale and Bacon Breakfast Skillet • Raspberry-Coconut Smoothie Bowl • Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp • Apple-Chicken Skillet • Moroccan Lamb Meatballs • Grilled Balsamic Flank Steak • Chocolate-Cherry Energy Bites • Lemon-Raspberry Mini Cheesecakes To go along with the meal plans, you’ll find three 4-week fitness plans tailored to beginner, intermediate, and advanced experience levels. Best of all, the workouts can be done anywhere—at your home or on the road—and take no more than 30 minutes each. A comprehensive whole-body program, Coconuts and Kettlebells provides the knowledge and tools you need to be healthy inside and out.
