The English-language debut of a prize-winning Japanese author, this touching, subtly funny novel evokes the daily struggles and hopes of two women from different generations.
When her mother emigrates to China for work, 20-year-old Chizu moves in with 71-year-old Ginko, an eccentric distant relative, taking a room in her ramshackle Tokyo home, with its two resident cats and the persistent rattle of passing trains.
Living their lives in imperfect symmetry, they establish an uneasy alliance, stress tested by Chizu’s flashes of youthful spite. As the four seasons pass, Chizu navigates a series of tedious part-time jobs and unsatisfying relationships, before eventually finding her feet and salvaging a fierce independence from her solitude.
A Perfect Day to Be Alone is a moving, microscopic examination of loneliness and heartbreak. With flashes of deadpan humor and a keen eye for poignant detail, Aoyama chronicles the painful process of breaking free from the moorings of youth.

Pure, non toxic, and it really works!
I just got this and it is amazing! I am 56 and my skin that used to be oily is now like fish scales even using a shower water filter. I have been using oils and they do not help. I know now that oil just helps retain moisture but post menopause skin needs to be hydrated. One application and my skin is glowing and silky again and there is no strong scent. Amazing, pure, and fairly priced product! Will be continuing to use this. I only wish it came in an 8-12oz size but I just ordered two.

Overall really good product
Melts into your skin. My skin clears up much faster after a breakout. Smells good (in my opinion). Love the glass jar. I got it mid August and still have about a months supply left so it last awhile and I use morning and night. A little goes a long way. Skin always looks better when I wake up.
My only complaint is if I don’t let this soak in for a bit before going outside or being active it sweats out really bad.

I use this every day on my face and body
I have this in my subscriptions because it works so well and makes my skin feel so soft. It's a very good quality product but it is whipped. I didn't know that till it first came

Temus has better beef tallow skin cream..
* Got much better results from a temu beef tallow/manuka honey skin cream... the temu one is creamer and less dense, so it spread and immediate melts/absorbs right into your skin... next morning results much better in temu product.. ama,ons is pasty and greasey, doesn't absorb like the temu one... doesn't feel good on skin... temu soaks right up into your skin like a sponge.. no greasy feel... just smooth skin... i ordered temu's again...
