One of my favorite moisurizers: Fairy Dust Moonkiss
I’ve been using Fairy Dust Moonkiss for a while. I usually dampen my fingers with warm water then add several drops and then smooth or pat it onto my face. I really love its properties: It’s very nourishing to skin and not greasy. It’s a very natural and healthy way to moisturize and is…

I recalculated my placement on the Global Fat Scale again as I’ve continued to lose weight and as of yesterday reached a weight that is less than when I was 16, which is the age when I reached my full adult height. I feel fine. I actually like not being as hungry as I used…
