Description:
With warmth, a popular radio and podcast host shares her love of language, weaving together linguistic history, regional phrases, the hidden poetry in etymologies, new words, and stories from her life and time on the air




Martha Barnette has spent two decades as the co-host of A Way with Words, lauded by Mary Norris in The New Yorker as “a virtual treasure house” and “‘Car Talk’ for Lexiphiles.” Over that time, she’s developed a keen sense of what fascinates people about language. They are curious about etymology and revel in slang, are surprised by regional vocabulary and celebrate linguistic diversity. Idioms both puzzle and delight word lovers, and they are eager to share family neologisms and that weird phrase Grandma always used to say.




In Friends with Words, Barnette weaves together all these strands in a clear, informative, highly entertaining exploration of language. Chock-full of anecdotes, humorous asides, new words, trivia, and other lexicological delights, Friends with Words also tells Barnette’s story—from her Appalachian roots through her study of Ancient Greek, and on to the making of a beloved and enduring show. Friends with Words is an expert, good-humored, joyful book.

shimmer
Color: Rose Gold
I recently tried the UCANBE Body Shimmer Oil, and I have to say, I'm really impressed! The oil has a beautiful, subtle shimmer that adds a touch of glow without being too overpowering. It feels luxurious on the skin, absorbing quickly and leaving it soft and smooth. I love how it gives my skin a healthy, radiant look, especially when I wear it on my legs and arms. The scent is light and refreshing, not too strong, which is a plus for me. Overall, it's perfect for a little extra sparkle on special occasions or just when I want to feel a bit extra on a regular day! Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a quality shimmer oil that doesn't feel greasy.

Bad Batch
Color: Gold
It was so thick & stinky. Had to toss it and take a shower right away. Couldn’t get it off my skin.

Light weight
Size: Gel Moisturizer
Light weight non-medicated moisturizer with no for my pre-teen boy. Helps him get in the routine now of facial care and helps keep his skin soft and glowing. Does not clog pores, non greasy great for oily acne prone skins, great for summer and winter although we're in Florida 😅.

Favorite face wash

I use this daily and really love it. It’s super soft and gentle on my skin but still leaves my face feeling clean. The foam is light and satisfying without feeling harsh or drying.
