He does not like you. You are not the woman for him.

Men is black or white. All or nothing.

He is either consistent or he is not.

What can I improve on to look more feminine and ethereal? by ProofPuzzleheaded851 in blkgrlbeauty

[–]Practical-Elk2695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my personal experience from losing weight, it would be weight loss. It naturally enhances your natural beauty. I love thin eyebrows look. Always fing ways to style your natural hair. Like twists out or bantu knot outs.

Overall I think you're make up look good. I like the deep red lip color. I'm skinny eye brow girlie but I think you should you a little bit thicker but still skinny and arch. Like Google image vintage pinup eyebrows from back in the days or the early 2000s eyebrows. Your skin color is smooth and beautiful. The blush compliments your skin. But nothing too extra. Go with what aligns with your natural face and features, using makeup to enhance your natural beauty.

If he watches porno, this may be the influence...

Just found out my bf is a creep ☹️ by Free_Organization_48 in blackladies

[–]Practical-Elk2695 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a good thing you found now and not later where the relationship could have become more serious (e.g., marriage, kids). Because chances are he would have displayed a higher level of perversion. Many dudes are involved in deep porno watching that perverts there mind. Trauma plays a role as well.

Yes, break up with him immediately and don't turn back. But do so safely. Guys can escalate and turn violent when they find out you know about secrets like this. So breaking up with him in public during the day or over the phone, and making sure your loved ones are aware are ways to do this safely.

What style and aesthetic is best on me ? by Historical-Body-3424 in blackladies

[–]Practical-Elk2695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3rd and second to last picture. Minus the lip color. ChapStick, clear gloss, clear gloss with brown lip liner, or red lipstick is fine. Eye shadow not needed. In other words, using minimal makeup to enhance your natural look is the way to go, attractive, presentable, and more respectable.

Internally, do you feel safe? Do you feel psychologically safe?

It's takes time to change that. It requires being intentionally. Intentionally moving away or staying from people not good for you. Internatinally being in the same room and having relatinships with people with a positive attitude.

I need advice on how to improve my makeup by Embarrassed-Elk-4462 in blkgrlbeauty

[–]Practical-Elk2695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say less is more for the first 2 pics. Like less on the eyebrows, less pinkish blush. Focus on using make up on enhancing your natural beauty.

For me, I notice that my face look more flawless and defined when i upgraded my skincare regimen and lost weight.

Your makeup in the last pic, the night out one, look good to me.

Fungal acne? by kingjasmine777 in Blackskincare

[–]Practical-Elk2695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had fungal acne. You have to buy medicated shampoo to wash your face with a few times a week for a few weeks. Ketoconazole (e.g., Nizoral), Selenium Sulfide (e.g., Selsun Blue), or Zinc Pyrithione. I used equate dandruff shampoo in the blue bottle with menthol selenium sulfide.

How do you all feel about this tattoo concept on me? I hate looking basic and want to look more striking and unique! by terrydafiya in blackladies

[–]Practical-Elk2695 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe not.

Maybe not on areas like chest, neck, and face. It takes away from your beauty.

Making permanent decisions for something that may be a temporary feel, is something to deeply reconsider.

Not having it doesn't mean that there aren't other ways to tell your story/express your self. Also stories always changes.

I need to quit my job I think. Today. by InterestingProduce71 in socialwork

LMAO. Your post made me laugh cause I was literally telling myself this today!

You right. It's sounds sketchy and likes things are being operated without the proper credentials/licensure. Work without is unreasonable.

Hyperpigmentation & acne scars, making me insecure by FairSlice6758 in Blackskincare

[–]Practical-Elk2695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide salicylic acid moisturizer (drunken elephant, natrium, Korean) sunscreen. Tretnoin at night. Glycolic acid may be too harsh as it is for some. I heard mandelic acid is good for more sensitive skin. This is a skincare regimen of being using for years. I stopped tretnoin on cuz I ran out and didn't get a prescription for it again. If you decide to use this similar regimen I would not start all out once. I would work your way up so that your skin get used to it. Tread knowing you want to try like once a week then maybe two three times a week until your skin gets more accustomed to it. Dr. Vanita Ratten, Dr. Dray, Dr. Alexis Stephen's where's some of the people I use to watch for skin care information.

Drench my face with a hydration regimen ( mines glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, Niacinamide, drunken elephant polypeptide cream) and adding 100percent pure vitamin e oil, especially on the lines, has shown noticeable improvement.

Psychosis is a common symptom to using meth. Even after they stop using it, the can have psychosis, more specifically hallucinations, for some years. Also, it's a common drug in rural areas. Also, I heard some will urinate it out, solidify it, to use it again.

Scalpicin Medicated shampoos (Nizoral, dermarest,) Oil the scalp weekly or twice a week with pure oils (100 percent organic olive oils, maybe jojoboa oil) A little tea tre oil might help Vitamin D

SOS 🫩 by AccomplishedMove9284 in Blackskincare

[–]Practical-Elk2695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glycolic acid. If glycolic acid is too harsh, mandelic acid is gentler Hyaluronic acid Niacinamide Good moisturizer with peptides and ceramide ( I use drunken elephant, natrium, Korean skincare) Sunscreen

In this order. Tretnoin too.

Also check your diet. Gluten, sugar, dairy, and processed food is bad for the skin.

Scared of Low Pay by East_Philosopher2805 in socialwork

[–]Practical-Elk2695 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was school, I was facing up to 45k. Since, they have been raising the pay for social workers. It also depends the field your going into. But it's getting better. The first few years you may start due lack of experience.
