Lancaster bodylotion bij Etos - Ontdek Luxe Huidverzorging

A Catholic education and lifelong vocation

Growing up under segregation, Mary Elizabeth was once taunted with the nickname “chocolate drops” as she ran through a white neighborhood on her way home from school, and although she also was ridiculed as the lone Catholic among Baptist and Methodist peers, she refused to harbor resentment for her treatment.

According to Sister Wilhelmina, as recounted in her biography, her “parents, who did not want me to go to the public high school, got to work and founded St. Joseph’s Catholic High School for Negroes, which lasted until Archbishop Ritter put an end to segregation in the diocese.”

She graduated as valedictorian of the school her parents helped to found and then entered the Oblate Sisters of Providence, one of only two religious orders for Black or Hispanic women. She would remain with these sisters for 50 years under vows.

We tried Lancaster’s golden tan maximizer after sun lotion and stayed bronze all summer long

Although summer is at an end, if you’ve managed to catch yourself a bit of tan – be it from UK sun or a holiday abroad – the chances are, you’re going to want to keep hold of it.

With the UK weather as unpredictable as ever, ensuring you prolong your summer glow is crucial and luckily, there are a few products on the market these days that can help you do just that.

From after sun lotions to gradual tan creams, we’re pretty keen to try it all to keep our skin glowing post-holiday, as well as ensuring the right sun protection and care measures are taken.

Enter Lancaster’s golden tan maximizer after sun lotion which promises to prolong your bronzed skin for up to one month, as well as said to help repair the skin after intense sun exposure by calming and comforting it.

With a range of these types of moisturisers available, it’s hard to know which ones actually work. That’s where we at IndyBest come in, testing products so you can feel more assured before you purchase. Putting Lancaster’s claims to the test, here’s how we got on.

Body Lotion illuminating – €2,99 (250ml)

Voor de mensen die wel wat sparkle in hun leven kunnen gebruiken is er de heerlijke illuminating body lotion. De geur is zacht en bloemig, erg prettig en clean. De textuur is luchtig en trekt snel in, en laat de huid mooi zacht en glanzend achter. Denk nu niet dat je er na een smeerbeurt met dit product uit zal zien als een glimmende discobol, want de shimmertjes zijn werkelijk héél subtiel. Of de foto hierboven zie je de shimmertjes niet eens zitten, maar als je je een beetje beweegt zie je zo nu en dan een subtiele glinstering. En dat vind ik persoonlijk juist erg mooi!

Tijdens de Feestdagen worden er wel eens wat shimmerende body lotions uitgebracht, maar die zijn bést heftig en zeker niet voor elke dag. Deze illuminating body lotion is zo subtiel, dat hij zeker voor elke dag gebruikt kan worden. Hij geeft je leven nét even dat beetje extra glam! I LOVE IT!

When the Benedictine Sisters of Mary, Queen of the Apostles exhumed the body of their foundress Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, OSB, on April 28, they found the unexpected: Four years after her death and burial in a simple wooden coffin, her body appeared remarkably well preserved.

The news quickly spread on social media about the unusual state of the remains of the contemplative order’s African American foundress, drawing hundreds of pilgrims to the monastery in rural Missouri.
