Description:
'Islanders must do everything together. We painted ngatu together. We crossed the ocean together. We settled on isles together. We took up Christianity together. We entered into new citizenships together. We became wage workers together. We lived with generations upon generations stacked in fibro houses together. We became half-White together. We got nits together. We sooked together. We stayed poor together. Together. Together. Together.'



Meadow Reed used to get confused when explaining that she had grandparents from Australia, Tonga and Great Britain. She'd say she was full-White and full-Tongan, thinking that so many halves made separate wholes. Despite the Anglo-Saxon genetics that gave Meadow a narrow nose and light-brown skin, everybody who raised her was Tongan. Everybody who loved her was Tongan. This was what made her Tongan.



Growing up in the heat-hummed streets of Mt Druitt in Western Sydney, Meadow will face palangis who think they are better than Fobs, women who fall into other women, what it means to have many mothers, a playful rain and even Pineapple Fanta.



For this half-White, half-Tongan girl, the world is bigger than the togetherness she has grown up in. Finding her way means pushing against the constraints of tradition, family and self until she becomes whole in her own right. Meadow is going to see that being a dirt poor Islander girl is more beautiful than she can even begin to imagine.

A heavy duty skin softening cream.

Deceptive Listing but Good Product
Size: 8.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is not the German version as it have Petrolatum. Based on ingredients it is the Mexican/American version. That being said, it's great and I enjoy how moisturizing it is as a body cream (though it causes acne if I use it on my face) and will purchase again (though not from this listing as it is more expensive than the regular listings for the same item).

Nivea
Size: 8.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
NIVEA is a classic for a reason! This cream is super moisturizing and perfect for dry or rough skin. It feels rich and nourishing without irritating my skin. I love using it at night, and I wake up with my skin feeling soft and smooth. It’s affordable, effective, and a must-have in my skincare routine. I highly recommend it!

Tretinoin Users- THIS is for YOU!
Size: 8.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I used this when I was younger on very chapped hands. I'm happy to have rediscovered this product for my face as an adult! For anyone using tretinoin, this is THE moisturizer for YOU!!!!! Not too much of a scent, thick product that absorbs well, and it's the best for the bathroom counter.
