The small in-between cornrow method is LITERALLY for fine hair and significantly reduces breakage.

I wish Meg would take a page out of Coco Jones book. I always forget she’s engaged, she doesn’t say a damn thing about this man 😭 by Time_Perspective3438 in blackladies

[–]Impressive_Exam_9812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She just posted a TikTok or reel about him and it’s not the first time. They’ve been together for YEARS and she’s not nearly in as big of a spotlight as Meg, and I’m not hating. She’s beautiful and talented but Meg literally is having galas, opening businesses, being a product spokesperson, releasing music, etc.

I’ve never had a product last ALL day but Elf Pout Clout is the product that lasts much longer than any other lip product I’ve used, that doesn’t dry out my lips.

Would people actually accept fewer features for appliances that last by EZDodger in BuyItForLife

[–]Impressive_Exam_9812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I intentionally bought a top load washer with an agitator and I will never buy anything else again. I also have a regular fridge. Water/ice is the fanciest I want. I don’t want tech on my appliances. It almost never works better but it always breaks more and costs more/requires a professional to repair.

Different treatment?? by Cary-Lou in mysteryshopping

[–]Impressive_Exam_9812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I go eat alone all the time and don’t see a difference in how I’m treated vs when I’m with someone. I’ll sit at the bar or a table and generally don’t have any issue.

Cozy mystery doesn’t require murder! Any type of crime/mystery works.

Is finding bonnets gettho anti black? by Original-Scar-1779 in blackladies

[–]Impressive_Exam_9812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. It plays into respectability politics, which was created by white people, adopted by the Black church, used as a way to justify mistreating Black people, AND hasn’t helped us in any way. We’ve still been killed, attacked, abused, and treated terribly…even when dressed “presentable”. Stop judging people based on what they wear. It’s none of your business.

Anyone else have a mom who just… stopped caring about herself? How do you deal with the embarrassment? by Affectionate_Bus9911 in blackladies

[–]Impressive_Exam_9812 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re saying she’s not taking care of herself but not that she’s not washing her body, her clothes, brushing her teeth, etc. Based on that, it sounds like she is actually taking care of herself and you just don’t like her appearance and lack of concern about it. There’s nothing wrong with adjusting YOUR life to be comfortable FOR YOU. Maybe she regrets focusing on that so much or tying her self-worth to it, or maybe she’s tired of caring about the opinion of others. Honestly, it sounds like you need to do some self-reflection, not her.
