Federico Villalba's Texas: The Story of a Mexican Pioneer's Life in the Big BendIn the 1880s Federico Villalba left old San Ger nimo (Aldama, Chihuahua) and began ranching near the village of San Carlos, about fifteen miles south of the Lajitas ford of the Rio Grande.

In the 1880s Federico Villalba left old San Ger nimo (Aldama, Chihuahua) and began ranching near the village of San Carlos, about fifteen miles south of the Lajitas ford of the Rio Grande. Villalba prospered and eventually crossed the international boundary to settle and ranch in Burro Mesa.

Over the bight of Santa Elena Canyon greeting the dawn of each day, Villalba built his herd of cattle and angora goats; eventually a store and talabarter a, or leather goods shop, was opened at Cerro Villalba (later Study Butte).

"Fred" Villalba's life was filled with excitement, challenges, victories, and tragedies affecting pioneering families of West Texas. The indelible trails left by this noble cattle baron and industrious entrepreneur in an unforgiving region are legendary.

Juan Manuel Casas narrates the history of his great-grandfather Federico Villalba and his family. This is a significant addition to the ­historical record of the Big Bend and West Texas literature ... from a Mexican national's point of view during its early years of settlement and statehood.

Wrinkles: Meh, KP: Yeah!
Style: MULTIBALM, Style: MULTIBALM
An okay moisturizer. Very shiny. Scent is old fashioned - kind of a floral baby powder scent. Takes a while to soak in which is by design since it only fills in the wrinkles instead of plumping them. The illusion is in the shine. You can see from my photos that in certain light the wrinkles appear slightly diminished due to the shine but you can clearly see they are still there in the shadows. While this example is on my hand, I had the same results under my eyes and on my forehead. I let the product soak in for 5 minutes in these photos. On the upside it worked temporary wonders on my KP!

From dry to soft in days.
Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
I bought this moisturizer at a time when my skin truly needed help, with mature and sensitive skin, and I was dealing with intense dryness. My skin felt tight, dull, and uncomfortable, even after trying several products that didn’t provide lasting hydration. I decided to try this cream and within the first few days, I noticed a real difference. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, doesn’t feel greasy, and most importantly, it doesn’t irritate my skin—instead, it soothes it. With continued use, my skin became softer, more supple, and visibly healthier, without that constant tight feeling. I love that it’s fragrance-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic, as it hasn’t caused any breakouts. It also contains ceramides and niacinamide, and the added SPF makes my routine much easier. After trying many products, I can honestly say this is the only one that truly worked for me. It’s now a daily essential.

The best
Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer for a few weeks now, and it’s honestly one of the best daily moisturizers I’ve tried—especially for sensitive skin. First thing I noticed is how lightweight it feels. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave that greasy or heavy film that a lot of “hydrating” lotions do. My skin feels instantly softer, but not suffocated. It layers really well under makeup too—no pilling or weird texture. What really stands out is how balanced my skin has been since using it. I tend to get dry patches but also occasional breakouts, and this somehow helps with both. It hydrates without clogging pores, and I’ve noticed less redness overall. The fact that it contains ceramides and niacinamide is a huge plus if you’re trying to repair your skin barrier. It’s also fragrance-free, which I personally look for because anything scented tends to irritate my skin. The only small downside is the price point compared to drugstore moisturizers, but honestly, a little goes a long way and the quality makes it worth it. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this if you have sensitive, combination, or dry skin and want something simple but effective. It’s become a staple in my routine.

Great daily lotion
Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
Great daily lotion. I love that it is light and fragrance free. It is perfect for day use. I have dry skin and sometimes it is not enough to use by itself. I mostly use it during the day as a base for sunscreen but it feels really good on the face and does not leave my face feeling greasy. The ingredients are really good and the value for money is great. I love LRP products and this is so easy to use.
