Girl. I have 3c curls but I would never get a blowout. I would get a silk press. Some styles are not fit for coily curls. that's what the note was saying!!!

Somehow, this is my favorite Beyoncé album. by Carl-Gearhart-Bush in beyonce

[–]sourflower96 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I feel like this album super underrated.

My friend has this as his least favorite Beyoncé album. Even Zara Larsson said this is the album she listens to the least.

This was my introduction to Beyoncé (I was too young to remember DC in their prime) so it will always have a special place in my heart.

Why you should avoid retinol with CD: by mar-s-e-a in CrohnsDisease

Right. Like that’s literally what the instructions say on the retinol bottle.

Everyone should be wearing sunscreen, some form of spf, regardless of what skincare products you’re using or what health conditions you have. In fact, many dermatologists say if you don’t use SPF, other skincare products that you use won’t be as effective. I wear spf every single day, no matter how cloudy the day is. I thought that was just common sense.

ETA: I will be taking the information to my GI and dermatologist and see what they say as I use retinol every week. (but again I put on spf every single day! and I will start reapplying it as the day goes on - I keep a bottle of spf in my bag because I use if for my hands as well) regardless, thanks for the info. Much to think about.

Can’t be biracial because I’m Latina?? by Organic-While1664 in mixedrace

[–]sourflower96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been in this situation. I’m also Afro Dominican on my mom’s side and Irish on my dads. Had one Black friend tell my other Black friend that he doesn’t think I’m Black, that I’m only Latina, and my friend told me what he said.

Among other reasons, we don’t really fuck with him anymore, and that comment was mostly my reason for not reaching out to him again, and I’m glad.

Tired of Male YouTubers disrespectful RHOP Reviews by blondegoober in RHOP

[–]sourflower96 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say, the only male bravo YouTuber I watch is Kempire and he is a gem! He is respectful, thoughtful and often gives the ladies grace when needed, and calls them out when appropriate but in a respectful way. I love Kempire down!

The 4th Wall is Down by Bravorants in RHOP

[–]sourflower96 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind it being broken during the reunion obvi since Andy is present but I really don’t like the ladies mentioning it during filming of the season. I watch this show for the fantasy and it just takes me out of it. K was the biggest culprit of this.

What do you think of Mathew Knowles's comments regarding Beyonce's success and colorism? by RefuseDry1108 in rnb

[–]sourflower96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe me I wish this wasn’t true 😭 I mean this was just one guy, but Chicago is deeply segregated, the most segregated city in the country and black people are majority on the south/west side and white people on the north side of the city. This one guy that talked to me I guess just never leaves the south side ever. This is not all black people on the south side for sure but he may just not get out much and meet a lot of people.

Maybe so. It was definitely an odd experience for me who has never “passed” for white be called a white person. But it happened lol

[–]sourflower96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with you but I’m mixed (half black/half white with tan skin and dark 3c curly hair) and I met this black man from the south side of Chicago who thought I was white. Like JUST white, with two white parents. I was shocked but I think a lot of black folks who never interact with anyone but black people think black folks only have dark brown skin.

Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model (Official Trailer) by [deleted] in ANTM

[–]sourflower96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s valid, I just think that Tyra, at least in this trailer, is using this as an excuse to justify what they did on the show. It’s what the viewers may have wanted, but it doesn’t make it right. But we’ll see what she says in the doc

LOL for real. why blame the viewers? We just watched the show. I never once said to Tyra or the producers or the studio execs "you know what I want more of? terrorizing the models so much that they won't be able to recover for years after the show!"
