ADULTHOOD IS A S#!%SHOW
“As long as she looked the way she did, as long as she was ugly, she would have to stay with these people. Somehow she belonged to them. Longs hours ahead sat looking in the mirror, trying to discover the secret of ugliness that made her ignored or despised at school, by teachers and classmates alike. She was the only member of her class who sat alone at a double desk.”

Some historical context for the custom Jacquemus look Zendaya wore to “The Odyssey” red carpet. Head scarves were enforced through Tignon Law because insecure, hating ass, white bitches tried to decimate black beauty. People have SO much to say about our hair, but we’re pulling and our aesthetic is copied (read Women’s History: Madam C.J Walker). Do note black women with 4c hair can achieve any coif with a product, but the other textures cannot. Perms can make our hair the extreme opposite, but can only go so far in accomplishing the curls/coil range. Stay pressed.
We’re here to serve looks. The headscarves we were forced to wear are now must have accessories. We made it so major turbans evolved into a statement of extreme glamour and leisure. Every bad bitch on the original “Dynasty” donned it. You’re welcome, as usual. Zendaya rocking a head scarf on the red carpet is a nod to the ancestors. Brilliant work from Law Roach. This is art. This is intellect. This is what fashion and style are suppose to be. Bravo. Via: Vogue & BlackHistoryUnlocked
Going around to other countries, committing barbarism, forcing people to comply with made up hierarchies or be punished, isn’t someone wanting to be you. White people literally forced their beauty standards on the world or else. There were repercussions of being denied jobs, education, homes, loans and more for not doing so. Cut the bullshit out. Meanwhile Asian and Hispanic hair is what weaves are made from, not a soul admires white hair on the part of black people. Too thin. You’re so vain, you think everything is about you.

Seven to nine hours of sleep nightly will change your life. The way blemishes and lines disappear is chef’s kiss, especially when you’re well hydrated. I use to think six hours was enough. Once you get beauty sleep, see how it makes your thinking sharper and skin looking youthful af, you can’t go back. Definition of the best things in life are free. How much sleep do you get?

Being idiot savants with antisocial personality disorder isn’t the only common denominator amongst the AI billionaires. Look at them. They’re ugly. Nobody notices pretty people privilege more than someone looking in from the outside. No matter how much “wealth” they’ve accumulated, the AI nerds are constantly reminded of their position in the social hierarchy, when they see the beautiful people getting treated as such. Advantages that elude them.
Pretty people get accustomed to the benefits their looks give them, sometimes they don’t even notice. They’re adored, given things for free, traffic stops for them even though it’s a green light, doors open, exceptions are made. They’re copied, influential, the popular table. Beauty is and will always be power, even for the poverty stricken and intellectually stymied. Financial status hasn’t granted the AI techs that level of liberty and they’re furious. Nobody wants to fuck them or be them, they’re repulsive. Thus, they planned on enslaving the other members of the Illuminati. The celebrities, socialites, world leaders etc…including dumbass Donald Trump, because politics is nothing more than a popularity contest. Bill Gates doesn’t say those jobs will survive, thinking himself superior because of his personality disorder, he doesn’t mince words. The Microsoft founder openly states only programmers will make it (read The True Intent Of Artificial Intelligence). And you ate out of the palm of his boiled face, ugly, fat hands.
Can you imagine Bill Gates forcing himself on you, the way he did those Epstein island minors (read Why Are You Listening to Bill Gates?)? YUCK. That’s exactly what these ugly losers planned on doing. Who do they hate more than the stars, crowned the most dazzlingly amongst us? Perpetually reminding them, no matter what they’re geeks. This is why you beat nerds up, never let them break rank sans a makeover, and take their lunch money. Inimical, they aren’t suited to rule. Kill every single one of them, the world leaders who empower them as well. Gods don’t like ugly, beautiful popular people stick together. Therefore, I rule in their favor, Kali & Shiva.

No wonder they copy us, we’re an entire vibe no matter what we’re doing. No one steals looks from the trailer park, but trust the hood influences fashion. We invented the beauty industry so, duh (read Women’s History: Madam C.J Walker). We also taught white people hygiene, how to bathe, while they walked around shitting in the streets and poisoning themselves during the Victorian Age. Without us they’d be a dirty, ugly mess. Never forget it. We are actual magic and they’re scared of our power, demonizing our spiritual practices to oppress us and harness our energy. Know your worth, take whats owed. Via: HelloBlackChild
Tis’ the season to slather spf on your skin, the key to anti-aging. I cannot stress enough how important sunscreen is to your daily beauty routine. Hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, all of it can be combated with this simple product. Start today, it’s better to prevent than treat. Via: KaribbeanGlow
Hair care as a means for Madame C.J Walker to become not only the first African American female millionaire, but the first self-made WOMAN millionaire period, isn’t surprising. African people, specifically women, pioneered the beauty industry in Egypt (read Reality Check: The Hair Is Korean). We still use the same products, accessories, and styling tools. Sorry not sorry Bassem Youssef, to break you out of your delusion. Imagine putting raw shea butter in that 1c hair (trust he doesn’t know what that means, because it isn’t meant for his porosity). Unless Bassem Youssef is Greek, no one is stealing your culture by claiming Cleopatra. Furthermore, you can have her. She’s the one who ruined Egypt’s 3,000 year rule, including the Ptolemaic’s 300 year dynastic reign, starting with Alexander the Great. She’s birthed from, and escalated the geopolitical shift that leads people like him to fallaciously believe they’re the original ethnic group of that region, the architect of all these great innovations. Let me know when he needs an Afro pick for that “coiled” hair (also created in Egypt). Clown.
Stop stereotyping black people. Especially black women as offensive caricatures created by the white imagination, subsequently using systemic racism to pigeonhole us into your dehumanizing stereotypes. We’re the blueprint for entrepreneurship, beauty and style. The Victorian bustle dress was modeled after Saartjie Baartman’s body. We’re entire era’s of fashion, still, to this day. Stop whitewashing and falsifying history, be grateful we elevate everything instead of disparaging us. Do you think Madame Walker was having an epigenetic moment when creating the ‘Hair Grower’?

Beauty is power. Getting glam can sometimes cost you (worth it). Nothing will make you later than the Trinity of terror: mismatched eyebrows, unruly hair and liquid eyeliner gone awry, specifically winged, especially when eyeshadow is involved. All it takes is one of the three to ruin your day. I’m close to tears just thinking about it! Like why? We’ve all been there, learning time management the hard way. Shoutout to the survivors, you never gave up on looking cute af, sans a punishment. You took that write up, firing, detention, whatever it is and said imma do better, and imma look hot doing it.

I can’t stress enough that to be human is to be flawed and imperfect. If we were perfect we would be robots. Stop trying to be everybody else, be you, the sperm and egg that made it. You can always be a better version of yourself and evolve. I will tell you the older you get the less your care about what others think. What do you hate about yourself physically? Why?
