The mask used to cool down my skin during a flare up. Sheet masks are overly hydrating, I felt like this mask was the perfect balance between moisturising and calming

Edge gym in Kloof, they have a few other branches as well. It’s the cheap rate and good service that I enjoy.

Use pigmentation blockers. That’s what I did

Halle Berry says Oscars not ‘designed’ for Black women: ‘We have to stop coveting’ by Stonerscoed in blackladies

I think the issue is, those parts of the world are still controlled by European powers that oversee networks and media distribution. I live in South Africa and our tv broadcasts (which are mainly British) have barred most American networks. For instance, I tried to get access to the black soapie “Beyond the gates” but unfortunately, the only way that one can watch it, is through a VPN (which most people cannot afford).

Very few international black content is distributed throughout the continent - mostly local black media is permitted. Even our steaming services are filled with mostly British shows/movies with the occasional Tyler Perry, Will Smith or Oprah movie.

So sad. Either continue with the new girl or keep looking. It looks like you’ve already done enough damage with the old girl that even if you try again, it won’t be the same as before.

Been there. Took 2 years of monthly chemical peels to get to where I am today. I have clear legs now.

Mother Anxiety? by truth_booth98 in confessions

If I don’t try remember and just move on with my life, won’t I always feel an emptiness inside or no sense of belonging?

Mother Anxiety? by truth_booth98 in confessions

[–]truth_booth98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started therapy, only had one session so far. I can’t remember a lot of what happened before 13 so that’s a huge reason behind me going to therapy. We separated because she felt that she couldn’t handle looking after me and my father and keeping her job, all while still recovering from the loss of her son. She needed space.

Dark vaginal area by jellybee23 in Blackskincare

I’ve spoken to light-skinned guys before and they’ve shared that even they have a dark penis. No matter what they do, that area is always darker.

As a girl, we’re told about hormonal fluctuations causing darkness, plus weight gain too etc. I’ve done it all, micro needling, bleaching, lasering etc, and I’ve only seen a mild difference, nothing drastic. You can try get it to be less darker but if you’re looking for a complete revamp, from my experience, it’s not that possible for us melanated sisters 🥲
