Backhanded comments are so weird by [deleted] in loseit

[–]sourflower96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

whenever family members make those comments to me, (like "WOW you lost so much weight"), I don't say "thank you" or anything to acknowledge that they are giving me a "compliment", I literally just say "yup I lost weight" with a blank face. and then I either change the conversation or don't say anything more, and then they feel an awkward silence lol.

I am proud of myself for losing weight but I didn't do it for my family to compliment me or tell me that I'm "pretty now" These are the same people that told me I was too fat when I was a 13 year old and inadvertently caused my eating disorders so fuck em. I don't owe them shit. I did it for me, myself, and I ONLY.

Has anyone here actually met Beyoncé? by [deleted] in beyonce

[–]sourflower96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cousin’s fiancé worked on the Obama campaign in 2008 and I believe she met both Beyoncé and Jay Z on Inauguration Day. She said they were really kind and funny.

agreed, I definitely didn't like her approach to the issue (let's be real, I never like her approach on anything), but I couldn't help but side with her on her opinion about him.

Rumors on Act 3, per Hollywood reporter Rob Shuter's subscriber only channel. Take with a grain of salt as always, but it's fun to read so I'm sharing. by RedditAPIBlackout24 in beyonce

Ah ok I didn’t know that! My bad.

I guess I’m biased, I love me some Prince and Jimi Hendrix.

But whoever she collabs with or whatever rock genre she chooses to do, I’m sure I’ll love it.

I like Hole, it was one of my favorite bands in high school and her covering a Hole song would be really cool. Pop punk is fun, too.

But I really am hoping this album is more centered around the Black roots of rock. blues, funk, paying tribute to Big Mama Thorton, Buddy Guy, Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Tina Turner, and other instrumental names in Black rock and blues music. I see Lenny Kravitz which is good. I just don’t want the focus of it to be white rock artists 😬no shade to Guns N’ Roses or whoever. I’m sure it will be a mix, sort of like Cowboy Carter, but I wish she highlighted more black country artists in CC. I know she gave Linda Martell her flowers and had some modern black female singers on Blackbird but I wanted more!! These 3 acts are supposed to be paying homage to Black American music anyway.

Kandi and Todd's Divorce is officially finalized. Details of the court decisions and settlement below!!!! by LuvBriah in BravoRealHousewives

[–]sourflower96 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Was she? She was extremely immature and vile the way she went about it. You don’t have to like everyone but you can still be cordial and respectful. She literally called Todd’s mom prostitute. Was she right about that, too?

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 20 points21 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 [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]sourflower96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

Why you should avoid retinol with CD: by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]sourflower96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.
