Useless Etymology Offbeat Word Origins for Curious MindsBy: Jess Zafarris Published by Hodder & Stoughton, 2025 10 07 Did you know that an "astronaut" is literally a "star sailor," that a thesaurus is, in fact, a "treasure trove" of words, and that someone who is "sinister" is actually just "left handed"? Have you ever wondered why English isn't considered a Romance language if 60% of our words are Latin derived? Did Shakespeare really invent 1,700 words, and if not, why the heck do we say that he did? Why

I use this lotion several times a day after handwashing. I think it's meant for frequent use as a hand lotion, therefore the giant size bottle and light, non-greasy, quick absorption formula. It does not leave a palpable film on my hands or on surfaces I touch, such as my phone, sunglasses, car doors, light switches, keyboard, remote control, etc. Also has a very matte finish. Great in hot weather when you don't want to feel coated. Not sufficiently emollient to be a body lotion. The lavender scent is close to that of a lavender plant, ie somewhat herbal.

Great for and Inexpensive Lotion

Scent: Aloe & White Tea, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Aloe & White Tea, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I wanted to get lotion that smells like BVLGARI Thé Blanc Eau De Toilette and all my research pointed to this; while it doesn't smell exactly like it...it comes close. The smell clean smell and not too strong, which I like...and the price is without a doubt much better than the real thing. So, for an inexpensive body lotion, I do recommend it, even if it's not an exact match for Bvlgari.

great if you wanna just keep buying more and never actually moisturize

Scent: Aloe & White Tea, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

this is the least moisturizing lotion I have ever used in my entire life. it goes on so thick and smooth and feels great and smells great but then a couple hours later my skin feels dry and needs more.. and if you put it on at night, when you wake up the next morning, your skin is completely ashy and flaky. It’s absolutely awful.
