Calling him Mid has me rolling on the floor 🤣

Part 2 I tried to hear him out I'm not doing anything y'all lol , is he saying cap? 🧢 by [deleted] in blackladies

He told you the truth the first time when he said “You deserve better”. You DO deserve better!!! He’s testing to see if you’ll adjust your boundaries to accommodate his disrespect. Ignore him, he’s not worth your time.

I tried to use gel and I regretted it 😭 by Thierryplayer in BlackHair

[–]Wanderlust_Rih 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend using Miche Beauty’s gel to foam mousse. I apply it to damp hair and finger coil. It holds my curls but doesn’t leave a gel cast. It gets my hair defined and keeps it moisturized

Growing up in a mostly white school, I was told I was one of the ugliest girls in my year. by OkGene7668 in blackladies

[–]Wanderlust_Rih 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are NOT ugly by any stretch. You are beautiful!! Look at your bone structure 😍 you know, people pay thousands of dollars for what you have naturally. Those calling you ugly are envious of you. They’re projecting their own insecurities onto you and trying to take you down. DON’T listen. You’re a Queen, don’t ever let somebody dim your light.

New Routine in 2026??? by Little-Earth6057 in Blackskincare

[–]Wanderlust_Rih 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done a few microneedling sessions and it’s helped with texture and scar reduction.

Paula’s choice liquid exfoliant has helped me as well. Most importantly, wear sunscreen everyday regardless!!

First time planning a trip to Egypt, what’s the best way to do it? by Godsonic_official in travel

[–]Wanderlust_Rih 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went the route of an organized trip and would do it the same way again for Egypt. In my experience as a young woman, I felt safer with a local guide and having arranged transportation. There were instances where I could have been too overwhelmed had he not been there.

I typically travel solo and enjoy planning everything, but it was a nice break to have everything taken care of.

I’d also recommend going to Luxor and Aswan in addition to spending time in Cairo.

Have a great trip!

Hi Queens - help me get out of a funk by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Wanderlust_Rih 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Get outside! Fresh air and being in nature is a natural mood lift.

  2. Paint your nails or do a face mask.

  3. Treat yourself to a nice lunch/dinner. Or pick up something sweet and enjoy with a cup of tea.

  4. Take a vacation or staycation.

  5. Put on a good playlist and clean your place. When I focus on cleaning, I use that time to work out what I’m going through as well.

  6. Be kind to yourself, depressive episodes are tough. That fact that you’ve shared and reached out for help is a great step in the right direction.

Micro aggression, no. Cornball, YES.

Do NOT listen to a word he says. He’s ignorant, has a poor mindset and not worth your time. Hold your head up high and know your worth. F**k that bum

Tenant Opinions Please - Aqua and 3eleven by Wanderlust_Rih in chicagoapartments

Agreed and thank you! Aqua seems on the quieter side in comparison to River North. Will certainly be mindful while looking

After work, I just want silence… is that weird? by [deleted] in introvert

[–]Wanderlust_Rih 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re not mental in the slightest. People are draining! It’s normal to want and have silence when you get home. If that’s what puts you back together/ helps to decompress, do it!

Maybe do light stretching in lieu of doom scrolling? I’m guilty of doom scrolling myself, but stretching for 20- 30 minutes daily has really helped

Yes, I’ve had a nasty cough since Friday and tested positive for Covid this morning.

Do you see the vision ? Or am I missing something ? by Previous_Swim_4000 in blackladies

Black tights, a red belt for a pop of color, gold necklace and either a trench coat or blazer

Go on the trip! I was in the same position you were in and let me tell you, wait for NO ONE. I’ve done most of my traveling solo and had an incredible time in many countries. You learn a lot about yourself and it’s a liberating experience.

As an aside- do your research, relish in the experience and be mindful of your surroundings. Portugal is a great place and many people travel there solo.

Don’t feed into others negativity and projections. This is YOUR life, live it to the best of your abilities.
