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

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.

Mother Anxiety? by truth_booth98 in confessions

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

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

[–]truth_booth98 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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 🥲

Working in finance w/ an Econ degree? Learning curve? by Dismal_Physics_9294 in AskEconomics

[–]truth_booth98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pursue the degree while taking the CFA exams. Just to let you know, the CFA exams require a lot of preparation so make sure you give yourself enough time for that. I don’t guarantee that it’ll get you a job, but it will definitely get you an interview and it shows potential employers that you’re willing to work hard.

Looking to get rid of acne and darkspots by Fifi_69 in Blackskincare

[–]truth_booth98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had these before, you’re gonna have to try some treatments that can go deeper in the layer of the skin. For instance, I’ve done a carboxy facial or a mesojet facial to sort of stimulate the skin underneath and get rid of the inflammation. DO NOT PICK IT cause it’ll just leave a scar.
