Tamawaca Folks: A Summer Comedy is a 1907 novel by L. Frank Baum, published privately under the pseudonym John Estes Cooke. The novel is an autobiographical account of the summer community at Macatawa Park, Michigan.

Baum acquired a summer house in the Michigan resort town in 1900, with the proceeds from his first literary hit, Father Goose. Baum nicknamed the house "the Sign of the Goose" in honor of the book, and decorated the place with goose motifs.

The novel tells the story of Jarrod, a Kansas City lawyer who comes to town for the summer. He finds it a beautiful place (Baum refers to it as a "fairyland"), but soon learns that its organizers and developers are corrupt frauds. Wilder is an extroverted businessman, while his partner Easton is elderly and pious. Jarrod learns that the partners have double-sold some lots, and built cottages in the middle of the public streets. They charge the residents for all the services they can, from grocery delivery to transport on the only ferry to Chicago, as they let the electrical and sewer systems and the boardwalk fall to ruin.

Jarrod organizes the town's cottage owners into an effective resistance. Wilder and Easton each believe that he can manipulate Jarrod and end up the sole proprietor of the resort; each is unprepared to deal with an opponent who is both honest and capable. The residents win control of the town; Easton and Wilder are reduced to private citizens.

The novel also has a romantic subplot, in which a young man finds his way to personal happiness.

WIlder and Easton were based on the chief stockholders in the town, men named Fred K. Colby and E. C. Westervelde. Jarrod was based on Basil P. Finley, an actual Kansas City lawyer who arrived in town and led the clean-up in 1906.

Baum also included a parody of himself, as the "distinguished author" Mr. Wright, who "was stubborn, loud-mouthed and pig-headed, and wanted to carry everything with a high hand, the way they do in novels. He had about as much diplomacy as a cannon-ball." (Chapter 9) Baum may have derived his pen name for the book from the name of John Esten Cooke, a Virginia historian of Baum's era. His authorship of the book, concealed at first, was soon guessed at by the people involved, though even Colby accepted it with good grace.

Good non-toxic option
I like how it scores well on Yuka. I use it daily under my makeup, but it's INCREDIBLY oily which sucks because my skin is already oily. It also leaves a slight white cast so just a warning for those with darker skin. Other than that I like it!

COVERGIRL Outlast All-Day Lip Color Custom Nudes, 960 Universal Nude
Color: 960 Universal Nude, Size: 0.07 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Product Review: COVERGIRL Outlast All-Day Lip Color Custom Nudes (960 Universal Nude)Rating: ★★★★★If you are looking for a reliable, "set it and forget it" lip product that actually lives up to its long-wear claims, the COVERGIRL Outlast All-Day Lip Color in 960 Universal Nude is an absolute standout. Part of the Custom Nudes collection, this shade is designed to be a universally flattering neutral that works for a wide range of skin tones. Why This Lip Color is a Must-Have: True 24-Hour Wear: This is one of the few formulas on the market that truly stays put. It is food-proof, transfer-proof, and kiss-proof. Once it sets, you don't have to worry about it feathering into fine lines or smudging onto your coffee cup. The Perfect Two-Step System: The secret to this product’s comfort is the two-step process. The base coat provides intense, pigment-rich color, while the moisturizing top coat (the "balm" stick) seals in the color and adds a healthy shine. It prevents that "dry, cracked" feeling often associated with long-wear liquid lipsticks. Flattering "Universal Nude" Shade: Shade 960 is a beautifully balanced neutral. It has just enough warmth to look natural without being too orange or too washed out, making it the perfect "your lips but better" choice for daily wear. Budget-Friendly Professional Results: It delivers a high-end, polished look that rivals luxury long-wear brands at a fraction of the cost. It’s a reliable staple for weddings, long workdays, or any event where you won't have time for touch-ups. Final Verdict: The COVERGIRL Outlast All-Day Lip Color is a powerhouse in the world of drugstore makeup. It offers incredible longevity, a comfortable finish, and a shade in 960 Universal Nude that is incredibly easy to style with any outfit. It is the ultimate solution for anyone who wants a flawless lip look that lasts from their morning coffee all the way through dinner!

This is a great product. I have a lot of dental work and wearing regular lipstick was a problem. I tried this and it doesn’t get clumpy. It lasted for hours, does not rub off. no taste, shine after applying top coat, easy application, great price
