    I hardly ever comment but I thought you should know that I find great comfort in watching your Christmas Vlogs. I am alone during the holidays and have no family so it is such a blessing to me. Never think you don’t make a difference in someone’s life. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

    You had never stopped being kind and joyful throughout these years, but for the past few months before your surgery i could tell there was an immense sadness about you. I hated seeing you like that, but now, I can see such a positive change in you. I am incredibly happy for you and hope that you continue to thrive, feel energized, and feel comfortable with yourself. The criticism that you get from strangers and the daily scrutiny is ridiculous and I wouldn’t wish that on my worst energy. Keep spreading kindness the way you’ve always done 🌸🌸🌸

    After wls just walk as much as you can. Second week after surgery I was walking around 3 miles a day spread throughout the day and felt great. The tiredness will ease up. Have your water and walk walk as much as you can. Also bring a water everywhere you go. If you notice you havnt taken a sip in 5 minutes, sip. Water will greatly increase the energy you will have.

    I was tired for awhile, but took daily walks. I’m in Eastern Canada, so same cold as you and I get not wanting to go outside. I just walked the block. Started with 5 minutes and slowly increased time. It helps to build energy and prevent blood clots.

    That it cosmetics cc cream is literally the BEST formula I have ever tried for foundation, however the lightest shade is waaay too dark for me! BUT if you mix it with plain white foundation (I use la girl mixing pigment) it still is just as amazing! Just an FYI for you pale gals!

    I started feeling back to normal about the 3rd month. I did "old person" chair exercises in the beginning which helped me feel like i was doing at least something in the beginning.
    God speed your journey 💗
    Also, I kept one outfit from when I was my biggest so I can remind yourself how far I've come, I definitely suggest that 🤗

    This was such a fun vlog. I used to love visiting places like that with my family when I was younger. It's so interesting to see how people used to live and when you visit "real life" places it just makes everything seem, well real, lol. The ornament was so beautiful and would've looked so nice with your tree but I'm assuming you didn't get it since you didn't mention it again. Also, loved your makeup!
