Rick Rusek's stomach has a lot to say. It's got opinions on tasty foods, not so tasty foods, and driving in traffic jammed Los Angeles makes it roil, boil, gurgle, and howl.

From the author of the acclaimed The Adventures of a Girl Called Bicycle comes a tale of traffic jams, secret plans, and one eleven-year-old boy's determination to save his family's livelihood. Rick Rusek's stomach has a lot to say. It's got opinions on tasty foods, not-so-tasty foods, and driving in traffic-jammed Los Angeles makes it roil, boil, gurgle, and howl. It's doing the best it can. It never meant to earn its owner the nickname Carsick Rick or make him change schools for fifth grade. And Rick's stomach isn't the only one dealing with terrible traffic. His family's catering service, Smotch, is teetering on the verge of ruin after a rash of late deliveries and missed appointments. Fortunately, Rick has the solution. Unfortunately, no one wants to listen to a kid. Absolutely certain that he could fix the constant, endless traffic snarls, Rick hatches a plan. But he'll need help from his unicorn-loving Girl Scout neighbor, a famous street artist, and the best driver in L.A. Together they'll take on the stream of stalled cars--and a secret conspiracy or two, too. It's going to be tough, but Rick won't give up. If he can successfully move the 330,000 slow-moving cars standing in the way of his family's future, maybe everyone will see that he's not Carsick Rick. He's one of the seven wonders of Los Angeles. He's the Colossus of Roads.Binding Type: Hardcover

Moisture and good price in one place
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
This was a household must have for my partner who used nothing but the Helen coco butter hand creams. Oh yes, I had to use some occasionally as well. It is soft on the skin, has a long lasting moisture, he would use it right after washing his hands to get that softness locked in. There is no strong scent so is perfect for people who wants a good hand cream but not that loud scent. I used it all over my body for a all day moisture and shine. I used it in places that don't see the sun often but still needs much love and kindness too. The fun this about this product is they have various sizes so we have one in the car, one in my hand bag and they have the family size that the kids can use. I recommend that you stock up on these.

Queen Helene Makes Another Winner!
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
Wow!!! I’ve used Queen Helene’s Mint Julep for years and it works wonderfully so I thought I’d give the Almond Massage Cream a whirl. The scent is yummy, I just love almond... give me a spoon I just want to eat it since it smells so good! The texture is really thick until you place it on your face/skin and it literally melts like true coconut oil. This is exactly what I was looking for — an ideal cold cream/make-up remover. For the reviewers/people who answered questions about “not using it on your face”. Please just enlarge the back of the tub and it states that you can. Here’s what it says: This luxurious massage cream soothes and moisturizes with the delightful scent of almonds. Use as a massage cream for the face, neck and body. I personally pair it with Aloe/Kleenex to apply to my face to remove my make-up in the evening. It emulsifies any last drop of mascara on your lashes or debris. Then I lather my face with a mild facial cleanser like Neutrogena. Lastly to remove any residual, I gently wipe my face with a warm/hot washcloth, this leaves my skin dewy soft! I love this product! This tub will go for miles. Also, I use a bit in my hair as well, just like coconut oil creating softness and shine. Excellent product all around, in my opinion!!!

Works great
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz., Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
It feels and smells great on the skin. I use it every night for my facial massage. It can be hard to wash off if you apply too much, but it can be washed off with a facial cleanser. I always wipe it off first and then wash my face with cleanser. I love it so far. It's a huge bottle, so it will last a long time. Great value for the price.

Almond massage cream
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
I’m using this product more than four years. But I noticed for the past year that it started to be less sliding… also I noticed separation of oil and cream…did they changed some formula?
Still continue to buy this. Love the smell
