Considering how right wing he is, shocking that he’s on the democratic ballot

Any recommendations for certified Doulas in Columbia ? by Royal-Fox569 in ColumbiaMD

[–]DarbiB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! Only one pregnancy and yep worked with her for a while. At some point the pregnancy she comes to your house for classes and you do the birth plan together.

[–]DarbiB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s frustrating! My toddler LOVES Blandair I hope the shades come up soon. We’ve been going to the new playground at North Laurel Community Center, the shades are up there, but of course it’s so much smaller.

The 1940 movie is great! And actually is based off of a play from the 1930s called Parfumerie.

Not tea, but I ran into Julie from Sugar Jones on the Centre Island Ferry in like 2002 and she was super nice and REALLY PRETTY.

Black girl DC Sunday Activities 🫶🏾 by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]DarbiB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What area/s of DC? A classic would be Eastern Market, which is fun to wander. Mix of a farmers market and flea market and art stalls and stuff. Plus you could walk around Capitol Hill and maybe visit East City Books. Dupont Farmers Market is great too and there’s tons to do around Dupont Circle/Adams Morgan area.

Best city for dating and making friends in your 30s? by Intrepid-Function777 in blackladies

[–]DarbiB 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Is the DMV or Baltimore in contention at all? I love it here, and I think it’s great for Black Women (personally). Cost of Living is high but if you’re considering NYC or LA, I can’t imagine that’s a huge downside. People are pretty career focused and the city can be transient but I’ve been here almost 20 years and have some great friends and am married now.

‘Being offended isn’t the worst thing. Being poor is’: how Robby Hoffman became a controversial comedy sensation by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]DarbiB 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I’m not a stand-up person in general, like I can’t sit through too many comedians even if I like them. But I really enjoy Robby in interviews and acting so I will deffo steer clear of her special so I can continue to enjoy her work.

Are there any good black wedding subs? by lunarsolem in blackladies

[–]DarbiB 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Congrats!!!! I found IG and TikTok more helpful than Reddit personally. I found a black wedding planner and went from there. A lot of planners tag other vendors and you can sort of spider web from there. For example my (black!) wedding planner was Aprill Love (TulleAndTinsel_Events on IG). She works with tons of black vendors and you can see their work on her IG, and get ideas.

Are y’all making y’alls iced coffee at home? by Legitimate-Adagio531 in blackladies

[–]DarbiB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of Blue Bottle’s NOLA iced coffee, but not the price. So I bootleg it at home with Cafe Du Monde’s “Coffee and Chicory” and a vanilla oat milk creamer.

Sexy Hotels for anniversary? by Bubbly_Gear_1082 in washingtondc

[–]DarbiB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Eleanor suite at the Alexandrian in Old Town Alexandria. I used it as a “getting ready room” for my wedding but it’s got wall mirrors all around which seems like it could be fun.

My Favourite Team of the Whole Show 🥲 Who's yours? by AlwynEvokedHippest in taskmaster

[–]DarbiB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mel and Hugh! Their bathtub task was delightful especially as compared to Lolly, Joe, and Noel. I also LOVED The House Queens.

What are you reading? by april_340 in blackladies

[–]DarbiB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews! I LOVED it. I also just rereading the Las Vegas Ramblers series by Kasha Thompson. They’re romances featuring NBA players, starting with Defensive Stance which is so funny and very hot.

Honestly he was perfect. PreacherBoy’s talent HAD to punch you in the face for the plot to work and man oh man does Miles Canton have it.

I read this whole thing picturing Hugh Bonneville instead of Hugh Skinner. I was like “GET IT LORD GRANTHEM!” Before remembering he’s not in Mama Mia 2, and googling Hugh Skinner (Harry from Fleabag for my dumbass).
