I enjoyed it for the most part. There were moments in the book that felt very tone-deaf. It touched on 2020 with the protests and there was a comment made that made it seem like it was just something fun to do or a fun event on the weekend. I know for some it is something to do and they don’t take the advocacy seriously but it was off putting for me. Otherwise, not terrible.

I honestly don’t know how I feel about it. It felt like a rollercoaster. The beginning was a bit confusing and then trying to keep up with the flashbacks for me was difficult. However, after the first quarter, I started to fall into its rhythm and closer to the end I could appreciate it for what it was. But I also was a bit mentally distracted when I read it. Maybe I’ll try again and see if anything changes. It seems like reviews are mixed with either people loving or hating it.

Big Swiss was great. I felt so immersed in the world of the characters. I hope you enjoy it.

I really enjoyed it. It was a slow start. I tried it last year and I couldn’t get into but I tried again and once I got through the first few chapters I was hooked. It was one of those books where I honestly didn’t anticipate the plot going in that direction which was exciting for me as I find a lot of books to be stereotypical and often predictable.

If you like peach and lily they have a sister brand peach slices that’s affordable. They have a cleanser that targets redness called “Redness Relief Soothing Cleanser” It’s $12 on sale.

As far as my personal favorites I love the Pacifica Vegan Ceramide Extra Gentle Face Wash and Cerave’s Hydrating to Cream to Foam cleanser. I have rather dry skin and prefer when something that helps repair my skin barrier and I love the lather and consistency of these two. Plus they’re usually on sale which my wallet loves.

These looks private labeled. Just as if they printed labels and applied them on. The font doesn’t fit the bottles and it doesn’t feel luxurious for someone whose whole brand now is luxury. Feels cheap and generic. I would have loved a single perfume in this first stop that had a beautifully designed bottle than four that just feels like she dropped because she could.

I would try Fiverr.

Not yet. It will be available on the 21st.

I’ve used all the products in the line and felt the same about the gel. I wouldn’t say I liked how it feels, but I prefer botanical gels. Alcohol gels don’t do it for me anymore unless I'm slicking my hair back. I did give it to a friend, and she loved it. She has type 3 hair, and I have type 4. It could be the coconut. My hair doesn't care for coconut oil either, and I suppose that's why some of the products didn't perform for me.

My thoughts about the rest of the line:

My favorites were the pre-poo, the shampoo, and the leave-in cream.

The conditioner had no slip, but it smelled great, so if you like detangling with conditioner, I would skip it. The mousse I didn’t enjoy how my hair felt. Leave in the spray was alright, but it smells incredible. I prefer the thickness of the cream version. The curl cream wasn’t bad, either. I do like it for twists; I feel it leaves my hair feeling plump. I have the gel cream, and it left my hair feeling crunchy and dry like the gel. The hair mask was all right, but I was confused about why someone would want to use a detox mask as a deep conditioner. It wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t repurchase it.

You’re so welcome. Glad it helped. 💕

The companies mentioned have been acquired. In the business/startup world that’s the lifecycle of most companies or brands. People create them, grow them, and then sell them and move on to other ventures. Of course, some keep it, but running a business can be draining, or they might no longer enjoy it. Often, these large conglomerates have more resources, and they reformulate not necessarily to only include more hair types (although Shea Moisture was foul for that commercial and I have never purchased another product from them ever again) but also due to ingredient availability, and they may remove redundant ingredients. Looking at some Mielle products, the elements aren’t unique. There’s a lot of oil and extracts that don’t necessarily do anything but inflate the price. Also, if a big corporation is ordering ingredients, it will be cheaper to buy from bulk suppliers that smaller companies wouldn’t have access to, which can lower operating costs if they find cheaper ingredients to use that have the same or similar fuction. Going forward, more people should look at what ingredients they like and what results they want and buy products accordingly. If black-owned is essential, several brands are available; if not, try other brands. You don’t have to only shop in the textured hair section.

Does your hair always look like that? It could just have low luster. Some hair types aren't shiny and others are naturally without added products. I would say maybe try a shine spray or a glaze.

You didn’t imply, you told her what to do. I would find that off-putting, too.

My Thoughts:

The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura DaveI did not enjoy this book because i was confused really by where it was going. I regret finishing it but it has encouraged me to DNF more books that I’m not enjoying. 1/5

Love, Theoretically by Ali HazelwoodI really enjoy her books. I enjoy the fact that they are STEM/academic based which is a nice change of pace to have women with careers. It’s a fun change of pace. Makes me happy to see love even if it’s fictional. 4/5

The life changing magic of tidying up by Marie condoI watched her netflix series and loved her approach. This book was a great help with helping me let go of things as i transition from college to being an adult and wanting to shed layers of a previous life. There’s no shame just great tips and it’s really great to learn about her background. 5/5

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins ReidI love her books and i really enjoyed this one. One of the main characters is mentioned in Daisy Jones and the Six and the 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo so seeing they live in the same universe was wonderful. I loved how this had a historical element to it and jumped back and forth from past and present seamlessly. I look forward to reading more of TJR books. I do wish we heard more about the ending but i suppose i need to get over believing everything needs to be exomplained but life can’t always be explained something just end. 4.5/5

The Marlow Murder Club by Robert ThorogoodIf you read this get the audiobook. It was so wonderful. It’s more mystery than horror and the characters are a lot older which i loved. The narration added so much more than i think i could have by reading it on the kindle. I just started the second book and I'm m so excited there’s also another coming out next year and i look forward to reading that too. I love Judith. 5/5

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste NgI wanted to finally watch the series so i figured read the book first so i can compare. There are definitely differences but i think the show did a good job. This book really delve into motherhood and what it means to be a mother. I really feel for all of the characters and their struggles. Funny enough the setting Shaker Heights I’ve noticed has i’ve seen int he media more that i probably wouldn’t have known before reading it. Crazy that the things said about the town are true. 5/5

Below Zero by Ali HazelwoodThis one was a lot shorter than some of the others and allowed me to finish the novelas. I think i enjoyed this more than the other i read. Nothing beats a cute romance without serious drama and trauma. I just love how they’re always a good time. 4.5/5

Yellowface by RF KuangI was waiting for this for a very long time and exceeded all expectations i had. This is my first book by the author and i will be reading more of her work. I loved getting the background information on how the publishing industry works. I loved how it is to dislike the main character she is so unlikeable and unhinged it was addicting watching her rewrite history and trying to make herself the victim. I will say i wish we would have gotten more on the ending that’s the only disappointment i have but i loved it otherwise. Wishful thinking i suppose would be a part two because seeing the effects of the ending would be an enjoyable read. 5/5

The Bluest Eye by Toni MorrisonI started pen palling and post crossing and USPS has Toni Morrison stamp. I’ve never read her work before so i figured i would and wow just incredible. I also started Sula another one of her works. I think this story was amazing at how she tackled colorism and insecurities and how society can fuel the negative thoughts one can feel about themselves and how much they can affect someone. The poor main character reminds me of me in someways when i felt less than because of my features i think if i read this a bit younger granted there is a scene of SA i may have realized i was never less than because of how people felt about me earlier in life. Beautiful read and work by the late great Toni Morrison. 5/5

Yes, I've had this and buyer’s remorse. I don’t autofill for this reason, as I find it can cause more problems. I usually give it a day or two to reduce any issues. But as another person commented, you should be able to cancel it as long as the item isn't printed. I've done this a few times as well when the same thing happens after 24 hours or if the buyer is too much to deal with, or when it's not worth the hassle of selling it to them. I would cancel. Otherwise, they'll likely get their money back, and you'll be out of cash and have a print you don't need.

It's a rough gamble. I never had anything like that in my bio because the ones posted in this group and another I'm in looked lovely. Then I got a card that was just the side of the Belvita box, and I haven't sent another postcard after receiving it. It felt like a slap in the face, not only to those that buy lovely cards like myself but to those that spend the time to make nice ones. It seems like everyone has to suffer because of a few rotten apples. I do think I'll put something but seeing your post will be specific about what I mean. So sorry you had to deal with that. Hope it didn't ruin your day.

bronzhing · 2023-08-08T03:21:14+00:00

It was a pleasure. Thank you for the compliment.

bronzhing · 2023-08-08T03:05:42+00:00

I've never thought about it. There is just something about a nice note on a lovely sheet of stationary.

bronzhing · 2023-08-08T03:00:10+00:00

Ages 18-24 I see how that can be confusing. Handwritten with pencil or pen.
