It works! It really works! And its pure! And its ecological! This morning I weighed myself and my weight is the same as it was when I was 16! Many people, as they age, they go in the wrong direction. They gain weight. They become less healthy. Things go wrong. But not with me! I’m…

This photo was featured on a BBC news page about a study which found that thumb-sucking and nail-biting among children has a strong correlation with few allergies. I don’t know what it is, but for some reason every time I see this photo it brings tears to my eyes. This little girl just looks so…
