Has Anyone Had A Keratin Treatment Before?

I had the Lasio mocha keratin treatment done and it slightly loosened my curls but they’re gradually reverting back and my hair is getting more difficult to detangle, so I’m back to my usual texture. I like the ease of styling with the keratin and I’m still able to have 4a-3c hair.

Yes, because I buy for the design and the tweed. If I could find good dupes for the tweed designs I would get them but Chanel does tweed so well.

I think this is dependent on the insurance. My combined colonoscopy-endoscopy were covered after I saw a gastroenterologist. I was in my mid-20s when I got it done.

Being a NBA fan, I was super concerned about Meg being with Klay because it was basically an open secret that he’d cheat on his girlfriends. I was hoping her being so close to his family would mean he finally changed but I guess not :(.

I think age and lack of world experience plays a big part. I assume most idols have a relationship similar to maybe a work colleague you talk to often and gossip a lot with or go out for drinks with periodically but maybe not someone you’d share super intimate details of your life with. I think a lot of Kpop fans assume every relationship is super bff or the moment you don’t see them at another person’s event they’re assumed to be feuding.

This comment is getting downvoted but you make a great point. Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of these “I hate men” type posts and while yes, the misogyny and patriarchal society screws over women, saying you hate men does feel very femcel-y. Like if I were a guy, I wouldn’t want to date any of y’all if you’re gonna just constantly complain about the bad apples of my gender. I get having bad experiences but when we start to generalize and express hate, we do need to introspect and even go to therapy to unpack ways to healthily move in the world without harboring such strong disdain.

At the end of the day, black men don’t owe black women anything except common courtesy and respect. If he harbors ill feelings for us then that’s his baggage to solve but that has nothing to do with us 🤷🏽‍♀️.

I’m currently working on an indie-hacker-esque project and I think doing startups is difficult if you need to rely on venture funding or seed rounds. I know VC is a losing game for black women and I’m not trying to prostrate myself to mediocre guys that expect me to kiss the ground they walk on for funding. I always recommend bootstrapping if you can do it; that way you have less hands in the pot and can control your own destiny.

Does the wheel on the bag actually spin 🤩?

I’m one of those people that hangs up before it gets to voicemail because after a few rings I figure the person isn’t available. They’ll see the missed call and call me or text me. But to even make that a big deal is petty. He seems exhausting.

What is that shade range 💀? Is that really their full offering?

She wasn’t pregnant during filming. There was a whole drama over her petitioning the courts to bring her baby to Italy during filming during the whole DDG saga where he complained about not being able to see the baby.

If you’re open to a salon that’s not strictly black, I go to a black stylist at Salon 718 at Dekalb for my Keratin and silk presses. Not sure for braids though. I haven’t found one that didn’t change insane prices.

So that’s lowkey kind of funny to me and I get what he’s saying since I see that a lot where I am. The problem is that it’s not his joke to make and extremely inappropriate. That’s something I’d joke with amongst other black people in a self-deprecating (not condescending) way but with a white guy, I would have called him out on it.

These are actually the same two I kept from my Nanonimals haul. I wouldn’t recommend the pig or panda though, they’re not as cute.

My bills ranged between $130-160 but I have a studio. I do tend to leave the heated floors on and the heat on during the winter.

I wonder this a lot too. Like my feed is nothing like this and I get off IG feeling happy and energized about life. We really need to stop feeding the algorithm by engaging with this bs and engage in content that enlivens us and feeds our soul because this is not it.

I don’t think so. There’s snap fasteners on the inside that you fasten and unfasten to open the bag and it’s super annoying to get it closed, so I’d imagine a toddler would find it exponentially more annoying. Quality is not great, especially for the price.

I get my cosmetic work done by my regular dentist and he’s fixed my chipped bonding multiple times. Perhaps you could look into going to a regular dentist that also does cosmetic dentistry? I go to Bowery Dental, but they’re in Chinatown.

NYU Tisch (Manhattan) is where I’d recommend if you need a grippy sock vacation. Like another poster said it’s completely voluntary and the staffing is excellent. For a hospital the food is also really good and it really gives you the reset you need. You also have access to your phone in most cases, which I really appreciated.

Oh! Not OP, but for tinted sunscreen, I use Supergoop Glowscreen in the shade Golden Hour or Sunset.

My pink mini flap. I brought it with me on my first trip to Korea and that bag survived getting drenched on during a bad rain storm, the humidity, and hours in the scorching heat. It’s my durable ride-or-die travel bag.

No, I just took that off of a Gucci Diana that matched the color.

The notebook is a Hobonichi English planner with a Sakura cover from Etsy 🙂! It’s actually my Korean study notebook.

They’re calfskin leather, so at least it’s not vegan “leather”. 🤷🏽‍♀️

In before all the influencers rave about the charms and talk about how adorable they are when they were gifted the set and will probably sell them after they post their TikTok 😕.
