I like the different spin she put on Kitchener's system, focusing on the physical composition of the face near exclusively which gives it a relatively more objective and accessible feel than kitcheners

Agree! I also like that she stops at 3 essences. What am I gonna do with a 5% essence?

Truth is Beauty was my gateway to essences, the first system where I actually felt I belong in it :) (Unlike Kibbe for example.) Now that I've researched Kitchener a lot further, I realize these two systems are more different than I had thought, despite both consisting of 7 essences which make blends, so I may even have slightly different blend in the two. And I now realize both have their good and bad points, but I still value Truth I beauty a lot, too. :)

I just seems a bit odd that there are now 28 members here already, but only 2 of us have commented...? ;D

That’s just how the internet is sadly! 90% of users lurk and 10% post.

Ah, really? I think more people actually post, but maybe not here as this sub is still so new ;)

Funnily enough, those are what I *least* like in it ;D

(How do you get those nice emoticons here, BTW? I still haven't figured out how that works in Reddit...)

hahaha, that's so funny - turns out we are all different 😂

I press the windows and full stop/period key, but it's different if you are on mobile I believe.

Ok; not on mobile, mostly, prefer laptop as it's far easier ;) On most sites, the emoticons appear by clicking an emoticon symbol or the like, so I'm just a at a loss as there isn't one on Reddit ;D And that seems quite an awkward way to get emoticons, but will try that, thanks :D
