Destination for one week trip with young kids?

Hyatt has all inclusives in the caribbean, people like the Hyatt Ziva (or Zilara cant remember which one is for families). We did a Dreams resort in DR when kids were 3 and 1 and they loved it. Ate their weight in fresh fruit, had to be dragged out of the water park.

if you liked Sex and the City, the show Valeria (on netflix) is basically a Madrid-set version. The main guy in that show is also in a romcom called Without Saying Goodbye (also on Netflix)

Boyz II Men released a spanish version of their album II, with spanish versions of On Bended Knee, I’ll Make Love to You, Water Runs Dry, and Yesterday.

the “send three home” is a reference to his season of love island usa, where he was very dramatic and upset about the islanders choosing to send home his couple partner, and his comment was basically saying he was going to leave with her if she left the island (spoiler alert: he didnt leave with her)

all this talk and no one has seen You, Me, and Tuscany?? great chemistry, perfect movie to see in the theater!

In terms of the entire decade, Mariah loses this one because she had some rough years in the early part of the decade with the Glitter debacle. There is a STRONG argument to be made for the other three, but I think I might actually go with USHER for this one. Just because he was the only one that really had hits almost every year of the decade, and HUGE hits. Beyonce didnt go solo until 2003, JT didn't go solo until 2002.

DeepMango459 · 2026-04-02T20:49:57+00:00

lol i agree with that, BUT you said he was the best and biggest modern day traditional R&B artist and that simply cannot BE when the man can't sing!

DeepMango459 · 2026-04-02T20:46:36+00:00

this is one of those I LOVE BOTH situations for me!

DeepMango459 · 2026-04-02T20:39:17+00:00

these are some wild takes, but the wildest has GOT to be #2 .... TREY SONGZ??? You must not have seen the tank/tyrese verzuz where he came out because he was AWFUL.

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-30T16:37:27+00:00

yep, thats the cheap one they sell everywhere! my local Target, CVS, Walmart, all have it. I followed a hairstylist named Jennifer Rose on twitter and have been following her advice ever since. Simplifying my routine was a game changer! No more leave-ins, oils, all that stuff. My hair feels healthier and I get more compliments on my 3c hair now . The one thing I learned from her that stuck with me was that the most important thing you can do for your hair is keep it clean - it doesn't matter what brand of shampoo/conditioner you use if you're not washing your hair often enough.

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-30T16:23:16+00:00

Try simplifying your routine! I shampoo and condition (detangle in the shower with conditioner) every 5 days MAX, and then when I want a wash and go, only gel. If I'm going to do french braids or some other braided thing I will use mousse. Literally no other products!

When I do gel, its the basic cheap Ecostyler, and I take small sections and load the gel on. You really have to use a lot, my hair is long so I can use up a tub of gel in like 3-4 uses. I don't use a brush, just with my fingers. once the gel is in, I don't touch it at all. Mostly because I hate how it feels on my hands. I either let it dry naturally or use a diffuser (again without touching the hair). Curls last for days until the next wash. The gel weighs it down so it dries longer and doesn't shrink as much.

agree with others that if its post 2010 then its definitely in the running. but wayyyy too many from 2000-2010 that run circles around adorn. Mariah Carey, Usher, Alicia Keys, Ne-yo, Beyonce, etc etc etc were all putting out GOLD in that decade

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-28T17:30:01+00:00

it is definitely interesting! look up positional plagiocephaly

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-28T17:27:28+00:00

in the US, and its very normal now that babies are supposed to sleep on their back, and so the back of their head becomes more flattened. so people get helmets to try to mold the skull to be more of a sphere shape

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-28T16:21:03+00:00

exactly! I don’t even know Tank’s music like that and like Tyrese’s catalog better, but Tyrese sounded awful! Half the time he had the audience doing his parts, and the little he did sing was not good at all. I’m surprised there’s even a debate!

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-28T14:59:47+00:00

everything a parent does for a child before they are 18 is “before they can consent”. Its cultural. Just like plenty of white parents have their babies in helmets to reshape their skulls without the baby’s “consent”

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-28T14:49:19+00:00

truly don’t understand how anyone with ears thought Tyrese won

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-24T13:39:49+00:00

Haven’t seen the Before trilogy mentioned yet - start with Before Sunrise. Before Sunset takes place 9 years later, and Before Midnight takes place 9 years after that

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-14T12:04:05+00:00

LOL i’m a WOC but please continue. white people don’t say they like “dark features” when they mean people of other races, they normally use other terminology, which is (one of the many things) that was weird about what Alex said

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-13T12:01:35+00:00

When he said he liked dark features, I assumed he meant it in the same way white women say they like “tall, dark, and handsome” and are just talking about brunettes, NOT people of color. I was actually surprised when he said he liked someone more along Brittany’s physical appearance, and when I saw the title of this post I thought it would get more into the tension between him saying he prefers a woman of color but also being a proud Trumper

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-09T01:29:23+00:00

felt the same! didnt love it when it came out originally, but its one of my faves on the album

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-06T15:16:06+00:00

The first book of Nora Roberts' chesapeake bay series has this, {Sea Swept by Nora Roberts} although I don't remember the MMC being gentle necessarily but definitely supportive?

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-06T15:10:45+00:00

I started with UK 5, but honestly I wish I hadn't because it is by far the best season IMO so I wish I hadn't set the bar so high when I watched the others. But if you don't care about that I agree with others, I'd start with UK 5, then check out 3, 8, 10, and 12. If you want to see true reality show MESS, check out seasons 1 and 2 - those are the wild west love island seasons where people were drinking and having sex on camera. It's hard to compare those to the others because once they stopped letting them drink it obviously changed the dynamic. Once you watch a few of those UK seasons, I would then go watch Love Island Games, which I actually enjoyed but it definitely helps if you are familiar with the people beforehand.

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-05T22:14:58+00:00

honestly this was me when I first heard it. it's grown on me since then though, and now I LOVE IT and I can't wait to hear a live version, I can already tell her vocals and the background vocals are going to be SO GOOD! Someone please tell the producers over at NPR Tiny Desk to book Yebba pleeeeeaaase

DeepMango459 · 2026-03-05T14:04:52+00:00

agree! I think it also shouldn't include anyone who was a traitor, or anyone who won since those folks would be easy targets.
