Okay, I have tips.
1) You need to start doing some sort of fitness activity like 3x per week. Most ppl stop being as active as they were in their younger years for various reasons and it starts to catch up with you.
also, be sure to get a good stretch in daily
I need the 30+ girlies to start telling us late 20’s girlies wtf is up the closer we get to 30. I went to the doctor in a panic thinking I was at death’s door and she told me I was just getting older. Ma’am what?! 😭
Do ya'll ever think about how Black people have the most unique hair texture on the planet? Like, literally no other group of ppl have hair like ours. Just us.
That's kinda fire if u really think abt it
tbh ya'll SHOULD be paying to look at stuff like this.
Social media has fried ya'll brains so much that u think u should be able to see pretty women in lingerie for FREE... and that $15 clown ass dollars should give you access to full nudity.
It's the entitlement for me
Coercion is the reason Netflix & Chill dates are totally off the table for me. Niggas automatically think that cuz you're at their house at a certain time that means it's time for hankey pankey 😭
I'm sorry but Usher's Tiny Desk wasn't long enough for me. I need him to literally come to my house and sing every single song from all 8 of his albums. I have a mic here
So yesterday ya'll was mad at that single, child-free lady for waking up at 12PM and having a coffee, and now today ya'll mad at another lady bc her doula takes care of her baby while she gets a full night's rest?
hm ok, it's all starting to make sense now
2) some time around 28-29 ur face is gonna start looking different to you. Not in a bad way or in a "i look old" way. You're just gonna randomly look at yourself one day and be like "hmm I look... different"
This is normal.
3) Ppl start sayin weird shit abt ur age once u hit like 27-28. U dont really think too much abt ur age until one day some weirdo makes a comment abt it, and thats actually what makes women start getting uncomfortable w aging.
Other ppl projecting on u, and u internalizing it.
5) Your grown woman body starts coming in HOT at like 29-30.
You will be happy about it. But again, this brings us back to tip
#1
. Get ur ass in the gym lmao
4) Anyway, back to body stuff.
Hangovers start lasting longer and you need more time for recovery. Get ahead of it by eating before you go out and sticking w the same kind of liquor for the night. Drink plenty water and take a tylenol before u go to bed after one of those nights
6) Your period symptoms either worsen or change, or both. BUT with a regular weekly fitness routine + consuming alot of protein, greens, fruit, and water your 🩸 flow will be less heavy and your cramps will either be lessened or disappear entirely.
i shot with a very popular makeup brand like 2yrs ago and learned that the owners use astrology for everythinggg... from when they put out new products even down to who they hire...
sooo idk... yall can sleep on astro if ya want but—
8) your skin starts being a lil wonky. if you never had a pimple in ur life, u start getting pimples. if you always had acne, that shit starts to clear up. It's so weird.
But anyway, find a skincare routine that fits ur CURRENT needs and stick to it unless ur skin changes again
10) random hairs on ur chin and neck 😭 They pop up outta nowhere to the point where u gotta be vigilant about catching them, or else you'll be looking at urself one day and see a long ass hair growing out the middle of ur neck
(v embarassing)
@aj_fairley
Me being thoroughly entertained reading the replies under this thread but also realizing that all of it reeks of gaslighting and emotional abuse:
One more:
11) the way u do ur base makeup routine WILL eventually have to change. That heavy concealer/setting powder combo that worked in ur 20's will start to make ur undereyes look dry n wrinkly as hell once they've lost a lil volume 🥴
Adjust accordingly (or get filler 🤭)
Does anybody ever ask themselves “Is marriage really necessary?”
“Is having kids really necessary?”
“Is buying a home really necessary?”
Or do ppl just do certain things because that’s how it’s always been done?
@Tinashe
Me creating a list and adding all the dope graphic designers who replied to this tweet with their work so I can contact them for future projects:
@aj_fairley
Him: "I dont want u to keep getting mad at me for lil stuff. Maybe we should take a break"
Me: "ok you're right. We should do that"
Him: *silence* "wowww so thats what you want? u really want this to be over????"
¿¿¿¿¿
I often think about how her looks, makeup, and hair was timeless? Like she could come thru right now, just like this, and eat everyone up.
Very rare for an artist of her era, I'm sure this was a planned thing
My friend got a friend who's dealing with a dude who just gave her $100,000 and also paid her $3,000 rent for the rest of her lease term.
And here we are, on Twitter, debating with the Brokes about walking dates, $200 dates, and coffee dates. smh
So glad that Black women are finally getting the memo that it's okay to just live in our womanhood.
I'm honestly grateful for the Black women on social media platforms who've dedicated their time to teach Black women that we deserve better and that it's not out of reach for us
@BBB_4_Lyfe
what u meant 2 say is, we cant jokingly roast YA'LL at all. If my head being big is a joke 2 u, u being broke should b able to b a joke 2 me
I would never teach my daughter that relationships are 50/50 bc most times they are not. Women end up shouldering most of the work if they are not mindful of this. My daughter will know to have her own money but to let men treat her like the prize that she is
I remember one time years ago, a nigga came over at 2pm, listened to music, talked, etc... then promptly @ 9pm he suggested we watch a movie and started feeling up on me 8 mins in.
Talkin bout "well after a certain time u should expect a nigga to at least try you"
??????
It's interesting that *some* of you have used this tweet, which was speaking to Black PEOPLE in GENERAL, as an opportunity to attack Black Women.
Specifically those who choose to wear weave/wigs.
Don't be bringing that bullshit over here cuz trust me, this AIN'T the place.
YOU placed ME on a pedestal and now ur projecting your high opinion of me, on to me, but in a negative way bc you don't know how to deal w ur own percieved inadequacies?
GOT IT!
So I went on a date last night with a white dude! It went really well!!!
And then at the end of the date he asked me how long my real hair is underneath my wig 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Never once have I looked at a guy I was interested in & thought "if i have a baby w/ this guy it may come out with such-and-such skintone" & used that as a determining factor on if i will date them or not 💀💀
tbh i cant even believe people actually think like this in real life
What Feminism is:
- Making ur own reproductive choices
- Getting equal pay for doing the same job
- Women being respected as human beings
What Feminism is NOT:
- Going dutch on dates/being the breadwinner
- Neglecting personal care & grooming
- Not letting men do anything for u
Imagine seriously believing that the first woman was born of a mans rib when it's a known fact that every single human on the planet comes out of a woman's body
At that point I'M led to believe tht not only are u indoctrinated, but ur also SLOW
Men, in general, are not the prize.
If a man has money, is generous, loving, caring, handsome, and not a weirdo then THAT man is a prize.
But men, in general, as a whole, as a collective, as a group, as a species, are not.

Hi! I'm Sanura. I own a luxe lingerie brand called
@LittleKittenLA
.
My vision is to create a space in the luxury lingerie market that centers around Black Models, Black Women, Black Sexy, and most importantly,
#BlackElegance
.
Check us out at
"YoU KeeP bEiNg sO PiCkY YoU'Re GoNnA EnD uP oLd aNd aLoNe"
Well, this doesn't make sense bc I'd rather end up old and "alone", traveling, chilling, & living my best old head life than to settle for some dusty that expects me go half on everything 🥴
BW, it's important that our extensions match out hair texture. Yes, *straighter* and *silkier* textures are cool, but that dont match what's already on our head 😐
Here's a thread of affordable wigs & extensions for BW with 4B-4C hair. Feel free to add to it!
If I think of other things, I'll add them here.
In the meantime, I do offer online fitness training & customized workout programs, I'd love to help ya'll get right for the Summertime and beyond 💕
If ur interested, follow this link:
"Ya'LL OnLy GeT DrEsSeD uP tO aPpEaL tO yT PpL"
Meanwhile, yt ppl literally never even cross my mind when I'm getting dressed. Imagine doing your hair/makeup, picking out an outfit, and then thinking "yeaaa the yt girls gon LOVE this!" before u step out LMFAOOOOOOOO
I'm tired of seeing "money cant buy love" type movies.
I want to see a movie where woman dumps a broke boi for a millionaire then lives happily ever after

😬 hmmm idk sis. the rest says:
"If I did any wrong to you I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart. Lets put the past behind us and start over"
That nigga was cheatin 4 sho 😭
Niggas will sit around and kiki all day long about women "losing their looks" after a certain age but the gag is that when THEY get older, the only way for them to get the younger chicks they desire is for them to have a CHECK.
The delusion is strong. U hate to see it.
Anyway ladies... I'm Sanura and I make soulful ass R&B... hit the link to stream my latest EP, New Moon, on the platform of your choice:
(This song here is called "Breathe")
Ya'll I want to talk about more girly things on the TL again. Hair, makeup, skincare, perfume, dressing up, etc. We used to talk about Women's business alot and I realize that's what's missing now.
Ya'll ran everybody off tho so there's that 😭
This is why I laugh when people are vehemently against feminism. I don't think people realize exactly how little agency women and girls had before it existed. This shit goes wayyyy deeper than us just having the right to work and vote
I remember how shook I was when I learned we only have age of consent laws bc mothers in the late 1800s fought for them… the men didn’t want those laws but it was the first time in the American government that women were so actively involved in politics/the law…
I follow sex workers on here, and sometimes I look at their websites just to read their opening statements/ companion rates... and honestly those ladies are about the only ones who have it right.
They are masters at setting boundaries, & alot of women can learn from them.
@jabugatti
ok... In YOUR head you feel like youre spending 5 days a week with your kids... but in reality, each kid is gonna grow up thinking they only saw you two days a week....
Remember!
You aren’t better than or more deserving of love than the next woman just because you:
• went to college
• pay your own bills
• dont have sex
• dont go to clubs
• wear modest clothing
• are skinny or pretty
• etc.
Thank u for coming to my TED talk.
