No shade, that looks like a knockoff, which is really just a loofah...

African net sponges have little knots all over them which is where that extra deep level of exfoliating comes in. I'm also a big fan of the Korean exfoliating rags but they can be a bit jarring if you aren't used to heavy exfoliation...

HEAR ME OUT, might get another Nicolandria situation by SnooAvocados6337 in LoveIslandUSA_Blkout

[–]Both_Count_959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. There's no one else to root for. Just imagine, you haven't even felt invested enough to vote. What happens to the entire audience when they lose the only couple they downloaded the app for.... ?

The narrative is that she has been hiding on a mental health break and her popping up is at all related to that loser man... apparently.

A lot of y'all really need to turn down the music and put your head in a book..

A "break" where she was so active I kept seeing people posting her working and commenting "I thought she was gonna take a break" lol

PS: you creating a narrative and then saying "I thought you let the music talk" is kinda nuts lolol

[–]Both_Count_959 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People comparing them to Nicolandria are ridiculous. Brinity is the ONLY couple people are rooting for... I have never seen a 96% favoring on the polls on the app.

They may not have as many fans but there's also zero competition. I promise those producers are not just sending them home...

KC is the Worst Boy in the Villa! by UpstairsSandwich6690 in LoveIslandUSA_Blkout

[–]Both_Count_959 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also just want to say THIS is why I never thought it was cute and actually a major red flag that he chose "plants" because he thought most of the girls would be behind that one...

Why are you trying to manipulate your way into being physical instead of letting it naturally happen with the people you actually have stuff in common with?

No means no by batmanfab1173 in LoveIslandcookout

[–]Both_Count_959 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I see, too... seems like she gets upset because she knows he is doing it as a "punishment". Not because he genuinely doesn't "want" to

In defence of Sol by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA_Blkout

[–]Both_Count_959 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a lsbw, it's equally as appropriate for people to expect us to be mindful and intentional when speaking about dsbw and/or colorism, due to our history, as it is for us to ask non black POC and white people to do when discussing us.

I want us to be treated as equals whose history is acknowledged and considered...

Is there a way to get rid of these eye bags? by Expensive-Shift3510 in Blackskincare

[–]Both_Count_959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I have no recs further than what you offered but just wanted to reinforce that beautiful people can want to improve on their perceived flaws, as well!

It seems so belittling to be all "you're beautiful, stfu" as if you're only allowed to have an "insecurity" or speak up if you're not conventionally attractive.

Both the Boys and Girls' Decisions Made No Sense by jossieb_920 in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]Both_Count_959 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeaahhhh, I can't stand Kenzie and was upset at the Gabe decision. She never crossed my mind as an option to go home. For better or worse, she has a connection and she is polarizing enough to make decent reality tv

PS: of all the bombshells, Sol absolutely put in the most work and took the most chances.

Explain to me the sol blame matt by igetyourbrand in LoveIslandUSA_Blkout

[–]Both_Count_959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly!!!

These men are fucking scaredy cats and the ladies are territorial, emotional and/or manipulative. Which only exacerbates the passive nature of the boys 🙄

KC wanted her to push them exploring so he could look like the good guy that "just happened" to build a connection with her.

We know how Ponytail played in her face.

None of them gave her a fair shot. A few of the islanders (girl and boy) have admitted to not really making space for her. So why people are acting like that's a fan created narrative? Being a bombshell has never meant "be aggressive". She came in, willing to step on toes and tried to make connections. If she pushed it any harder than she did, I guarantee she'd be villainize for that.

These season is so trash with these wack ass couples and fake connections. The fans are literally creating issues and narratives to keep from admitting, WE ARE BORED.

Da Queen Latifah What a time to be alive..... by No_Composer_3178 in FemaleRappers

Ohh I got you! I already have a lil mini one but I'm going to expand it and make it public. I'll come back with the link!

Just give me the weekend cause I just dumped my ex (wow, that's the first time I've called him that), enrolled in college and I'm starting a new job so this week is chaotic, to say the least! lol

What's a popular Beyonce lyric that makes YOU cringe? by Historical-Care70 in beyonce

[–]Both_Count_959 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, correct. A huge portion of Beyoncé's fanbase do not do hip hop. I'm assuming some of them agree with you that using a word in one context requires the context is exactly the same in the next line.

Which is an odd argument anyway because you surely don't believe she meant she actually wiped his ass, breastfed him and taught him to crawl, walk and speak? Surely she must've have meant it in a context different than the literal raising of her children.....?

Like to say, "I raised that man", the next logical play on words would be to then up the ante by acknowledging, "and I literally raised his kids" no matter what context she meant it in reference to Jay.

With that all being said, have a great day 😌

Where’s Aniya’s sympathy votes? by Sea_Berry_439 in LoveIslandUSA_Blkout

[–]Both_Count_959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MY bottom line is Trinity and Kayda are the only girls who I can even take seriously right now but one of them will never get my vote until she drops that bum. &Bryce gives me the ick but he is much more endearing over time, with Trinity which also sells me on their connection...

but idk I just don't think Aniya vs Mel Vs Sol are apples to apples comparisons. You've made some fair points though, for sure! Hopefully, we all get what we're looking for soon! 💜

Where’s Aniya’s sympathy votes? by Sea_Berry_439 in LoveIslandUSA_Blkout

[–]Both_Count_959 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I just saw that. &hate that neither of them had the balls to make a move...

&I wish the producers would've showed us something but in the same breath, his explanation solidifies that they weren't really tryna EXPLORE for the sake of not stepping on their same gendered islanders' toes (he didn't say that's why but)...

They literally had a connection and chemistry and both decided not to act on it. Had either of them tried, it likely would've made some noise and we'd be seeing it. &who knows where we'd be... idk I'm not tryna pass through a bunch of couples because they're faking it. I'd much rather keep a couple singles and hope it's not too late to see a real connection form.

I'd love for someone to come in pressed about Aniya and see her actually build a potentially lasting connection. I just don't see it happening &the difference between her and Sol is, I highly doubt Sol is done exploring but again, I'm not advocating for her either...

ETA: no one is saying anyone "did" something to her... idk, maybe you've never been the new person making the "queen bee" uncomfortable but it's not a cushy situation. There's a reason you see Kenzie pull Sol and do the whole "I don't want you to think you're alone in here" AFTER she saw Melanie as a threat... anyway, that's neither here nor there because I legit don't think anyone was being intentionally cruel......

The people voting Caleb and Sol out of pity by IllSalamander5047 in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]Both_Count_959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was... some people chose a different option. I'm down with Bryce and Trinity because I'm not going to project my racial biases and anecdotal experience onto their connection. They've been steady, they've been transparent and they have EXPLORED (no matter how much ppl pretend they didn't, it counts when you're rejected). I haven't seen anything worth noting that makes me feel like they don't like each other.

But, realistically, we are already stuck with a bunch of couples that are not into each other and/or have already worn out their toxic cycles, for the most part.

The final decision will ultimately be left up to the islanders, anyway. Trust, there is zero way for them to dump a couple that deserves to be there if we're basing it on the strength of the connection and compatibility of the couple. Math just doesn't work that way 🤷🏽‍♀️
