A FINALIST FOR THE PEN/FAULKNER AWARD
An ALA Notable Book

From award-winning author Willy Vlautin, comes this moving novel about a young ranch hand who goes on a quest to become a champion boxer to prove his worth.

Horace Hopper is a half-Paiute, half-Irish ranch hand who wants to be somebody. He's spent most of his life on the ranch of his kindly guardians, Mr. and Mrs. Reese, herding sheep alone in the mountains. But while the Reeses treat him like a son, Horace can't shake the shame he feels from being abandoned by his parents. He decides to leave the only loving home he's known to prove his worth by training to become a boxer.

Mr. Reese is holding on to a way of life that is no longer sustainable. He's a seventy-two-year-old rancher with a bad back. He's not sure how he'll keep things going without Horace but he knows the boy must find his own way.

Coming down from the mountains of Nevada to the unforgiving desert heat of Tucson, Horace finds a trainer and begins to get fights. His journey to become a champion brings him to boxing rings of Mexico and finally, to the seedy streets of Las Vegas, where Horace learns he can't change who he is or outrun his destiny.

Willy Vlautin writes from America's soul, chronicling the lives of those who are downtrodden and forgotten with profound tenderness. Don't Skip Out on Me is a beautiful, wrenching story about one man's search for identity and belonging that will make you consider those around you differently.

My Fave Sunscreen
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I love this sunscreen. I bike ride a lot in the summer and I always bring sunscreen with me because I sweat and need to reapply. If I use a cream, my hands end up wet or greasy and I'm holding the handlbars, etc. So, using a spray is way better for me. I loooooooove the smell of this stuff. It smells of summer! The spray makes it easy to get my back while at the beach and while it's not insanely waterproof, it's certainly water resistant and lasts a long time. I like the SPF 50, because less isn't enough for me. They say going higher than 50 isn't any better, so I stick with 50 as my "go to." Buying the duo, as sold here, makes it a good value. Buying this product at a local drug store would cost twice as much. I easily go through both cans in a single summer.

Lightweight for every day
Color: Classic
This sunscreen is perfection! It glides on and absorbs quickly. Blends to your skin color. Hydrates as well as prevents sun damage. You need to use enough to prevent sun damage, so follow directions carefully. I put it on first thing every morning.

Highly recommend for pale sun worshippers
Color: Classic
My dermatologist recommends using zinc-based lotions to protect my skin from the harmful effects of the sun. This lotion doesn’t leave me and my husband looking like ashen, smelly zombies in an apocalyptic movie. Expensive but definitely worth the price if you have pale skin that burns easily. Hopefully a version for darker skin is on the horizon.

Love it! My favorite of their products yet!
Color: Classic, Color: Classic
I love it! I think this is my favorite of theirs. I like their tinted sunscreen too but that this one feels a lot lighter in my opinion. Ive mostly used mineral sunscreen only and this one is seriously good. To see if the white cast is okay, I made sure to put enough on my face - I apply a thin layer one my face each time, let it dries a little, put on another layer, until I have three layers in total of it. It blends in so well that I can’t say it leaves white cast on my face. With a mineral sunscreen, you would almost always have to expect a little bit of a lightened film on your skin unless you use a chemical sunscreen (which stings my eyes), I look for those that would still make your skin color look nature and not like a ghost. It honestly feels just as nice if not nicer than my all time favorite mineral sunscreen from another brand - I was sad to find that my face finally started reacting to that one because of the fragrance it has, but I’m glad it led me to this ColorScience sunscreen! This one is water resistant too - it just has everything that I want. I’m sticking to it! Updated: been using this for a few times now and still my absolute favorite. I wanted to show a few more pictures on how it looks on my skin compared with another brand (my former favorite). I also added how a Neutrogena mineral sunscreen looks on the back of my hand so you can see the ColorScience one really don’t have much white cast whatsoever. I tried to spread it out good though. And the scent - it’s the some as one of their products that I’ve tried. I don’t find it off putting as long as it’s not added fragrance I’m good.
