In 2016 my boyfriends baby brother died by suicide.. He always talks about the dreams they had that they can’t achieve now.☹️ This Christmas I had some stickers made for him so that as we travel the world together he can leave them behind as a symbol of his guardian angel🥹👼🏿
I’m heading out w my friends and my man really rolled us some joints.. he said one for each of us & a king size to share.. 😭 it’s the little things I stg lol I love my man
The average age women start having sex is 17, so let’s go with that. Brittany is about to be 32. Thats 15 years of having sex. 35 divided by 15 is 2.3. That means she was having sex with 2.3 men per year on average. That’s crazy to yall? Lol. Get over yourselves.
Becoming an adult is realizing that “The Grinch” is just another movie about man that got his heart broken in first grade, and then made it everyone else’s problem for the rest of his life🙃 lmao.
Just bc EYE don’t and wouldn’t have that many bodies doesn’t mean I can’t understand how someone else who is more sexually forward than me would. Like I know for a FACT y’all have friends that are getting more than 2 a year. Y’all have this same energy for them or nah?
My favorite part of this is y’all assuming I be out here hoeing when I’m literally the most sexually frugal woman I know😂 y’all can’t step outside of yourselves for even a second.
I just wanted to give him something symbolic of his brother being with him everywhere he goes… We met a year after his brother passed &he says I helped him heal from that hurt so much without realizing it. And we were just friends at the time fr🥹😭 It was only right!
@thecoachchris_
And that’s your decision to make! I respect that. But I still think she deserves respect as a human being and considering what she does for work, that number could’ve been far higher!
@MissSassbox
This might be the most accurate read I’ve ever received from a stranger😭 damn sis! Lmao. My mom and nana have both expressed they’re never worried about who I’m dating bc they just know I’m always moving a certain way and going my due diligence. They’ve never had questions fr.
Facts. My mom just had a man at her doorstep sick, crying, THROWING UP bc she dropped him for poor behavior. Her exact words to me were “I divorced someone I loved after 27yrs, and you think I won’t drop you after 7months??” 😭😂 period, ma.
@mistervvs_
Can count them on one hand. Try again. Lmao. Y’all can’t fathom someone advocating for something they don’t practice themselves. It’s ridiculous
Deadass if I have to DM you to book a service, you’re not getting my business. Lol. There’s way too many scheduling services out here for that. I want to look at your schedule &see if the date I’m looking forward is available. If it’s not, I want to move on w/out wasting my time.
@thecoachchris_
Is she though? There’s a plethora of men in my comments calling her all kinds of things they’d never say in-front of their mother. I hope the days of ANYONE accepting bad deals in relationships is done. That’s not helpful for anyone. Lol
I really wish y’all would let this hood booger shit go. Cuz if Pardi got dropped in retaliation, y’all would be crying about it and saying it was Megan’s fault.
maybe if it’s from a man y’all will get it. Lmao. Not everything in this thread is scientifically accurate, but it’s pretty damn close...Educate yourselves. Love y’all😘

What’s REALLY messed up is (professionally speaking) coarse hair is the BEST hair to have in terms of hair integrity. YOUR natural hair is actually versatile: box braids, silk presses, color, only 3 or 4 trims a year. You can do all that and still have healthy hair.
@LaBeautyologist
For everyone asking what the difference is... the toner has glycerin, hyaluronic acid, sodium PCA (helps attract water from the air) andddd aloe juice... way more humectants=way more moisture content in your skin.
@thePoWer_RangeR
Thank you. And they’re so upset. Lmao. Like my number isn’t even a fourth of hers, but I can understand how someone that is sex forward could get to that number over that amount of time🤷🏾♀️
@Yezzzir215
@Simply_Shamaria
Not when you’re equally thick. Lmao. How ima call you fat when we wear the same size? Lmao. Problem is y’all be after women ¼ your size😂
Natural hair can absolutely be “low maintenance”. Takes time for me to wash and braid my hair for my style, but once it’s set I don’t have to do anything but take it down and shake it. This is a 4 day old braid out. Shout out to

@camillejanae
for styling tips!😭😩
As someone who lives this life… it’s exhausting. My dad asked me why I was in therapy, and when I told him I was working through childhood trauma his response was “What trauma? You don’t have any trauma”🙃
Black and POC parents working hard to get their children away from poverty… just to invalidate all of their children’s struggles cause they didn’t deal with poverty.

If you take a toxicology class, literally the FIRST thing you learn on the FIRST day is that everything under the sun can be poison.
The only thing that’s stopping it from killing you is the dose… including water🙃

If you’re having a hard time detangling your hair 10/10 you need a haircut… my hair is impossible to detangle when my ends are split. Soon as I cut them, the brush goes through like butter.
Bro no lie. I’ll say it again and again. The majority of the hair problems people have would be solved if they cut off ALL their split ends (and kept up with their trims), abs regularly washed their hair with quality shampoo/conditioner.
trau·ma; noun;
•a deeply distressing or disturbing experience.•
I think people try to use abuse and trauma synonymously.. Especially parents. “You don’t have no trauma”= “I didn’t abuse you” to them.. trauma is very subjective to the person experiencing it.
From what I’ve learned from
@SupernovaMomma
, this seems like actual gentle parenting. Lol. It was firm, but still gentle in acknowledging Blue’s need to voice her opinion. She didn’t belittling or embarrass her, but still set a clear boundary for behavior.
@HttpRyanAnthony
I agree!!! But think about how a lot of people raise boys over girls... boys are allowed to get dirty and just be dirty. They’re “just boys”... but let a lil girl walk around funky, it’s the end of the world. Lol. I feel like that carries into adulthood for a lot of people.
I can attest to this with personal proof. Lol. I used to use an glycolic cleanser with my Clarisonic.. then follow it up with a glycolic toner🙃 Soon as I changed up my routine to be hydrating, my skin started clearing itself up! Exfoliating daily vs a mostly hydrating routine
I know y’all are TIREDT of professionals giving free advice on here but, I’m begging you to stop trying to exfoliate your hyperpigmentation away, everyday. You’re kinda making it worse.
Her assuming you’d want to be represented smaller than you are is a prime example of subconscious biases we have about size.. because your bitmoji you showed as an example was not thin. Lol.
There’s not one thing I’ve brought up to this man that he did not rectify almost immediately… no complaints.
That’s really all we be asking for. Simple shit.
@Yshm__
I’m 2 yrs younger than her with single digits. Doesn’t stop me from understanding how she could’ve gotten there. ESPECIALLY as someone with as much visibility as her. Like you can’t even compare her to the average woman in my opinion.
Wanna take a moment to thank
@jkiyomi
for her bomb ass hair tips! My hair always straightens “well”, but it feels way more moisturized this time. Especially around my edges and the nape of my neck. Follow her for some great hair tips!
Last year I spent Valentine’s Day making a list of traits I want in an ideal partner. This year I get to spend it with the exact man I asked for… down to the skin color and height. Lmao
These positive parenting tips are not just for parents... I utilized the timer method to help a 5yr old I was bringing to school transition from play time to getting ready. When the timer went off it was way easier to get him to stop playing!

@GiveMeTheKeyBB
EXACTLY! I’m the same way. My number is single digits, but a few of those were in a short period of time after years of celibacy. The number literally tells you nothing. Lol
Me. I’m some people. I will spend a bag on beauty services. I’m not playing with my skin, eyes, or hair. Cost wasn’t my first consideration when I decided who I would go to as an esthie, lash tech, or cosmetologist.
And my response to that was “now we gotta figure out a way for this weed out process to not take 7 months.” Lmao. She hasn’t dated since she was 22, so we’re working on perfecting the process. Lmao.
Following Nai’s advice literally took me from being someone who’s sebum pooled in the corners of my nose, to someone with combination-normal skin. Listen to her. Lol.

You say that until your back is on fire 25/8... The itty bitty committee really doesn’t understand what y’all asking for... you don’t want breast large enough that a Dr. clears you to get a reduction. Most of the time that means they’re causing you chronic pain.
Day 1, Day 5, and Day 7. Definitely could’ve left it down, but I wanted a cute style for v-day! Last one is how my hair used to look day 1 when I was using Shea moisture back in like 2018🥴 that’s what we mean by length DOES NOT equal health. My hair is much healthier now.
From a BS Bio graduate: I promise y’all washing your chicken is not killing or removing any actually harmful bacteria. Lmao.. ONLY EXTREME HEAT WILL DO THAT.
Ima still wash my chicken bc that’s how I was raised, but I do it w/ the knowledge that it’s not really doing anything😂
My little sister called me to tell me she got approved to graduate! We got a Spelman graduate on our handssssss! That’s 2 out of 3 degreed Black children from a Black ass family. We love to see it.
I really did not expect so many women to be in my dms shook about this clip I posted of my bf talking about me and how we met in my story. Lmao. Y’all would be sick, crying, sliding down the wall if you heard how he gets to talking when he’s sleepy. Be spilling his whole guts!😂
There are vulnerable populations that cannot get the vaccine for various reasons. Your friend that has an autoimmune disease you don’t know about Bc it’s none of your damn business.. . That’s who you’re putting at risk, assholes.
People think you don’t want to try to be more vulnerable.. but that’s not reality.. you feel like you literally CANT.. feel stuck.. Like a deer in headlights.
Same, but I’m 26 and started watching at about 17 or 18. I literally do my makeup the way I do Bc of
@jackieaina
. She taught me how to cover my hyperpigmentation properly without caking on foundation. There’s no other influencer or Youtuber that’s had a bigger impact on me.
I'm 24--so since I was 15 I have been watching
@jackieaina
on Youtube. And she has taught me a lot; as a young woman who has often struggled with her expression of femininity, Jackie is someone who has helped me gain more confidence.
And in real life, too... You’re literally giving them everything they need to run the ultimate game on you... Share deep traumas when it’s been established that he’s worthy of that info, and that he’s not the type to weaponize it against you... Only then.
PSA: you can’t have a supportive bra without a snug band. You either don’t want back fat, or you don’t want your back hurting from lack of breast support. A lot of times you can’t have both.
(There should be a conversation on how the obsession with “back fat” when wearing a bra is fatphobic instead of a simple acceptance of how bodies work, but I don’t think I’m the person to be at the front of that.)
Y’all…😭 I was talking to my mother about stimming and sensory overload bc I really do think my mother is on the autism spectrum… why this woman say “OMG. YES! this prolly tmi, but like when I orgasm I think I get sensory overload bc like.. my head starts pounding so hard”

I came in apologizing for my hair immediately &she was not having it! Thank you for holding space for us to heal our hair traumas and rid ourselves of shame around our hair textures🥹🫶🏾
I need grannies to start having this conversation with their grandsons, because the granddaughters been knew. Especially as you grow into adulthood as a woman, they start telling you shit about the men in the family that you never knew.
"WhY aRen'T maRriAGes LasTiNg?" If men SPECIFICALLY would have conversations like this with their grandmothers, they would find out that a lot of them were trapped. Imagine having to marry a man who called you ugly, nappy headed, and denied your child. This made me sad.

Why would we care as men? That’s the whole point of casual sex! I’m not investing emotionally in the setup. Not sure why women thought casual sex was going to be something mutually beneficial. It just meant easy sex for us as men.
Your kids mimic the behavior you show them. I guarantee you their mom doesn’t yell at them to leave her alone or get away from her when she’s not feeling good. She probably explains the same way he just explained to his brother.
This will forever be my energy... you can neglect me my whole adolescence and then think ima go out of my way to cultivate a relationship with you as an adult.. nah.
In 2021 I bought my friend a flight to come hang with me in LA bc she was having a hard time… Today in 2023 she secure me a Renaissance ticket🥹
This why you can’t be a STINGY bitch to your friends!
SHE CHANGED THE LYRICS FOR BLACK WOMEN… Like, I literally can not name one woman in the sea of Black women I’m surrounded by that would express that insecurity the way Dolly did… It would make less sense to her target audience. Let’s use our brains.
“Jolene” is fundamentally a song about insecurity.
Changing the lyrics from “I’m begging of you, please don’t take my man” to “I’m warning you, don’t come for my man” spoils the song.
It also betrays an even deeper insecurity—the kind you don’t have the artistic guts to expose.
Damn. We all some pot heads fr😂 lmao… I’m currently studying esthetics, specifically acne and pigmentation correction for black and brown people. Y’all follow me on here and IG (Tyla_Inaani) for skin care tips and tricks😘🫶🏾
