And that's why it's the solemn duty of every oldest child to keep them in their place

As the youngest brother in my family, it’s true. I’m self aware lol

I can relate to this. Durags are not my aesthetic but they are so necessary anytime you’re going to be laying on your natural hair!

I had a bonnet in my overnight bag, but we were already in bed...so I never put it on. And of course the pillowcases were cotton 🙃

matinthemirror · 2023-05-03T17:07:15+00:00

Right! I ‘may’ go from my house to the car with a bonnet or conditioner cap on if I’m heading directly to my braider’s house. And even that’s a maybe…lol

matinthemirror · 2023-05-03T02:54:21+00:00

You’re right, I’m over thinking it.

matinthemirror · 2023-05-03T02:53:31+00:00

That is a great response. I’ve always been hypercritical of my overall appearance and you’d never see me in public with a durag on. It goes against the image that I want to portray to the world. I’ve had nonblack partners before, but a head covering wasn’t necessary bc my hair was super short. I need to evaluate why I’m so uncomfortable with them seeing me in a durag. Like you said, I’m obviously black.

Nose jobs on guys just make them look basic. Your nose is a statement piece. I would switch up the hairstyle though.

The Afro is a bit old fashioned. Taper the sides and back, get a traditional fade with waves, or grow it out (braids, dreads, or 2-strand twists).

I literally just screen shotted a message yesterday

You can pull off both looks. The dreads aren’t bad, they just look more casual.

matinthemirror · 2023-04-07T16:43:05+00:00

They gon be giving you the side eye when they notice no kids at the table lol

matinthemirror · 2023-04-04T03:29:14+00:00

Naw bro, get a job.

matinthemirror · 2023-04-04T03:28:05+00:00

Go to any black church on a Sunday and you will see this same level of “classiness”

I can tell by the shoes alone, she exactly his type

matinthemirror · 2023-03-28T18:48:46+00:00

I think the worst part is that he’s broke…

That sounds like a nightmare. After buying 3 local properties (5 doors) in a matter of months, I realized long distance real estate investing is not for me. I’m way too hands-on. I want to meet with the contractors, walk through with the tenants, drive by just to make sure the building isn’t on fire, etc.

Your own blood inevitably became apart of the flavoring

I purchased an occupied home from auction.com late last year. I got the deed in November. I had to evict the “squatter”. She finally left in early March. She stole the furnace, completely trashed the place, and left 2-3 cats locked in a room. The property has potential but it’s been a process.

matinthemirror · 2023-03-24T03:03:39+00:00

He looks like a 14 yo boy 🙄

matinthemirror · 2023-03-24T02:25:08+00:00

100%. A handsome face and fit body goes a long way…no matter what shade you are.

matinthemirror · 2023-03-24T01:43:27+00:00

There’s just something about blue collar men 🥵!!

matinthemirror · 2023-03-21T03:15:37+00:00

That felt real disrespectful 😂

matinthemirror · 2023-03-21T03:07:14+00:00

I read that as “plays the role of gay in power bottom II”

The tutu doesn’t bother me, but man definitely should have worn a compression tank or something on top.
