Jindra Tichý has a fascinating story to tell – one of exile and survival, of distance and painful longing. Czech born and bred, she was a lecturer in philosophy at Charles University in Prague when the country was invaded by Soviet troops in August 1968. In 1969 she was forced to flee her homeland with her young son Peter; they were on the last train to leave the country before the border was sealed. Joining her logician husband, Pavel, in England, she struggled to learn English, but slowly gained confidence and competence with the help of Jane Austin’s Emma. When Pavel was offered a job at Otago University in New Zealand, she found herself uprooted once again. After living in a communist society, Jindra found New Zealanders refreshingly honest, open and friendly, but she continued to grapple with the fact that in her homeland not only were all women expected to hold a full-time job – as well as take full responsibility for the household – here she was nothing but a full-time housewife. Determined to regain her professional status, she eventually became a lecturer at the university herself, and Dunedin has been her home ever since. After the Czech Velvet Revolution of 1989 Jindra was finally able to return to Prague, after twenty years in exile. Since then she has made annual trips to visit her beloved homeland and the remaining members of her family. In Prague in My Bones Jindra presents her great love – the beautiful city of Prague and its cultural

I love this set.
The cream smells warm and comforting. I’ve received compliments on how I smell while wearing it. I apply it all over after showering and my skin stays smooth and hydrated all day. The oil is great as well. I apply it on top of the cream before dressing. Unlike other oils, this actually absorbs into my skin and leaves me looking beautiful with a sheen. It’s more like a serum than an oil. Most oils sit on top of the skin and look oily and feel greasy. I would highly recommend both of these for hydrated, healthy looking skin.

This is a great duo
This set is amazing!... It smells amazing, it is so moisturizing and smooth on the skin. I love the subtle shimmer it leaves on the skin. I will say that, based on the climate or weather differences, you can feel the difference. For example, in Las Vegas, this sinks right into the dry skin and leaves you feeling well hydrated on your skin. When I'm in places like FL, the high humidity can leave this product feeling a little over-hydrating and the skin a little "tacky," but this is truly a person by person try it and find out for yourself. Either way, I love it and highly would suggest this for anyone that loves a good shimmer (light but hits great in the sun) and high moisturizing properties

Will buy again!
This smells AMAZING. Immediately after I opened up the whipped lotion, I was hit with an intense coco butter smell. The oil has the same affect, only with a gorgeous shiny finish. Both the oil and the butters consistency is perfect, the lotion doesnt feel too thick and the oil doesnt leave me slipping and sliding lol. There is shimmer in it but it doesnt look like Ive covered myself in glitter so i love that. The moisture lasts for such a long time especially when applied right after a shower. My skin absorbed it very nicely without feeling sticky or like there is any left over residue. The price for two was absolutely worth it10/10 will reorder after I run out.
