Description

The Architecture of HappinessThe Achitecture of Happiness is a dazzling and generously illustrated journey through the philosophy and psychology of architecture and the indelible connection between our identities and our locations. One of the great but often unmentioned causes of both happiness and misery is the quality of our environment: the kinds of walls, chairs, buildings, and streets that surround us. And yet a concern for architecture is too often described as frivolous,

The Achitecture of Happiness is a dazzling and generously illustrated journey through the philosophy and psychology of architecture and the indelible connection between our identities and our locations.One of the great but often unmentioned causes of both happiness and misery is the quality of our environment: the kinds of walls, chairs, buildings, and streets that surround us. And yet a concern for architecture is too often described as frivolous, even self-indulgent. Alain de Botton starts from the idea that where we are heavily influences who we can be, and argues that it is architecture's task to stand as an eloquent reminder of our full potential.

Gold hair spray
Color: Gold
This product is nonsense.Even when dry on the hair, the particles keep falling off like debris on my dress and stains it. It stained my bed, pillow and couch. I don't recommend this to anyone.

Amazing primer/sunscreen, even for olive skin.
I was a bit hesitant to try this primer because of its yellow color, since I am Anglo-Indian with olive skin (a little darker than Jennifer Lopez). But it says it is for "all skin types" so I tried it anyway. And I am really glad I did. This product blends in really well to the skin to become translucent. It does leave my face a little paler, but what does one expect with zinc and titanium dioxide? The paleness may also be in part because I apply a lot of it, since I use it as my facial sunscreen on most days. What I do is then apply a light dusting of powder to make my skin tone back to normal again. It is a lovely soft and moussy consistency that spreads easily and evenly on my face. My powder goes on flawlessly over it, which is a far cry from what powder looks like on my face without this primer. The powder doesn't settle into my facial lines either. All in all, this product is amazing. Don't be put off buy the yellow color. Try it!
