‘An extraordinary survival story’ Sunday Times

Bored of 1970s suburban life, Maurice and Maralyn plan their escape: sell the house, build a boat, set sail for New Zealand. Then, halfway around the world, their beloved boat is struck by a whale and the pair are cast adrift in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Alone on a tiny raft, their love is put to the test. This is a book about human connection and the human condition; about how we survive – not just at sea, but in life.

Worth it
Okay first night using and I’m in love. Smells amazing. I’m particular about my vanillas but this is light but strong. Doesn’t disappear right away sits on the skin nice and drifts on the air as a nice aroma. Dries down wonderfully too. I did have to use a few pumps to cover each part of my body but so worth it. It’s not greasy at all and gives a nice glow. Application was easy and I do feel moisturized. Looking for the lotion version now to layer over top it.

A GREAT OIL FOR YOUR SKIN
I JUST REVIEWED THE LOTION WHICH I LOVED AND I ALSO LOVE THIS OIL. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A LITTLE BIT PRICEY BECAUSE THE BOTTLE IS A BIT SMALL HOWEVER YOU REALLY ONLY NEED A SMALL AMOUNT AS A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. IT ABSORBS INTO YOUR SKIN NICELY WITHOUT FEEL OVERLY GREASY AND IT LEAVES YOUR SKIN SOFT AND SMELLING VERY NICE. THE SMELL IS LOVELY BUT IT ISN'T A REAL STRONG SMELL AND THE VANILLA ISN'T OVERLY SWEET EITHER. IT IS THE PERFECT VANILLA. IT LEAVES YOUR SKIN REFRESHED AND I LOVE IT !! IT GOES GREAT WITH THE LOTION.

Very moisturizing with a great vanilla scent
I love this body oil. Very hydrating and smells amazing. It has replaced the original Palmer’s cocoa butter, body oil for me just because I like the smell better. It leaves my skin looking glowy and feels so smooth. I smell like vanilla all day. I like the pump top. It is easier to apply. Very silky consistency

Love the smell and great for my skin
This has become a permanent part of my shower routine. I use it right after I turn the water off while I am still wet, I cover my entire body from the neck down using about 8-10 pumps. I will wrap my body in a towel and finish getting ready (brush teeth, face moisturizer and blow drying hair) and then I will gently rub the towel everywhere incase there is any excess oil after it had the time to absorb into my skin. I dont think it leaves any greasiness at all, its really lightweight. What I love most of all is the smell though. A very nice, light, sweet vanilla smell lingers on your skin until your next shower. You have to put your nose pretty close to your skin to smell it so you wont be bothering anyone who had scent sensitivities. I have been using this for almost a year now and I still keep bringing my forearm to my nose to smell my skin because I love it so much. My skin has improved so much since I started using this.
