Description
The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday MachineThe crucial question is this: Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 best selling Liar's Poker. Who got it right? he asks.
The crucial question is this: Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 best-selling Liar's Poker. Who got it right? he asks. Who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become, and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception? And what qualities of character made those few persist when their peers and colleagues dismissed them as Chicken Littles? Out of this handful of unlikely--really unlikely--heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our times.

Just Buy It
This smells AMAZING! The body butter smells amazing too but the oil smells so much like the Vanilla Amber Sand+Fog oil perfume. I’m so glad I have all three and went ahead and picked up some Vanilla body wash. My kids said I smelled like a bakery all day. I couldn’t stop sniffing my arm and clothes the scent sticks and such a wonderful combination to my perfumes that has vanilla notes. Also, makes your skin feel awesome after a shower. It’s not so greasy after application and gives your skin a beautiful glow in the light. BUY IT!

This is the most luxurious feeling, delicious smelling oil I've ever used! I love this one and the cocoa butter one was well, leaves my skin feeling nourished and incredibly soft!

Add to cart!
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
Works great for myself & hub! I bought them mostly for him because his feet are wrecked, but it’s a 6 pack, so yay me. The cushiony heel was a bonus I didn’t expect, so nice + comfortable to sleep in- usually hate sleeping in socks but since your toes are free, these do not bug at all. Definitely get these

Go buy these heels socks they’re the best
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
I love that they have gel in the heels. I sleep in a pair and even wear a pair to work for extra protection for my heels. They are great to get your heels soft and prepared for the sandal wearing days of summer. They slide on my feet so comfortably because of the great stretch they have. I just love how they feel on my feet , walking in them is very easy and comfy and they don’t slide or is slippery. You can even wash them like regular socks and wear them over and over. I would recommend them to anyone who wants baby soft heels.

Love these
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
These are fantastic if you want a 'foot mask on the go'. They fit easy, the colors are great, and they work! I used them after putting on moisturizer and my heels were smooth and looked great in sandals after! No cracks or dry patches!
