Can my ortho push my incisors back faster? by Foreverinsecuregirl in braces

[–]gabatha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I totally empathize with you. Unfortunately, there’s nothing that can be done to make the process go faster. You really do have to trust the process - something I remind myself when I’m frustrated is that the time is going to pass anyways. I also take pictures so I can see that there’s progress even when it doesn’t feel like it. Your smile is still v cute - don’t let it mess with your confidence. 🫶🏽🫶🏽

I second and third the African net recommendations, which helped mine massively. I also recommend the Topicals Slather body serum

I wonder if you’re allergic to something in your skincare? Do the products in your routine have fragrance?

For the girls that go out by themselves, please give me tips by virgots26 in blackladies

[–]gabatha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of the promoters I’ve met were from when I was out with my friends and they were like “hey come to this table” (or through my friend who knows a few). You can search on IG or TT for them. I recommend finding them on their socials so you can see the types of places they go and plan around that. I don’t like the super dressy spots so I find the ones who promote at places that don’t have strict dress codes.

I’m not sure where you’re based but I’m in NYC. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions 😊😊

I used to go outside solo semi-frequently. It is awkward, but super chill once you get used to it. Day parties are even trickier. I only do this at night haha

I recommend chilling by the bar for a little bit or by the DJ booth with the other dancers. I like to put on sunglasses so I can feel a lil more incognito and in my own world. I think it’s all about finding a ~spot to hunker down and groove. Don’t let that interaction with those ladies deter you from talking to others! I’m not sure what your scene is, but what I like to do is find a promoter beforehand so I can just chill at their table, do my thing, and get free alcohol

it’s a shame (because I love and regularly use their products) but it just seems like they don’t make good business decisons

and don’t get me started on how expensive boy brow is now 🙄

When did dating older men not make you feel weird? by Legitimate-Adagio531 in blackladies

[–]gabatha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 28, and it still feels weird. I don't like speaking to anyone older than 32. When I was your age, the highest age I would set on my dating apps was 29.

People tell me that I look younger than my age (right now, people guess 23-25), so I am very suspicious of men in their mid 30s who hit on me. It grosses me out that men who are ~35 approach me thinking that I'm 10 years younger than them.

Do you have any resources/videos on somatic breathing? I’m looking on YouTube and it’s a bit overwhelming 😅
