Reasons why you should never underestimate women! First and foremost, LIFE DOES NOT EXIST WITH WITHOUT WOMEN! In terms of human reproduction, women are essential for the continuation of the species. Without women, who bear children, there would be no future generations of humans! Women have stronger immune systems which means that we are more likely to survive tougher conditions such as famines, extreme climate changes, and disease epidemics in comparison to men! EXCEPTIONAL ENDURANCE! Out of the 43 people in the world to make it over 110 years old 42 OF THEM WERE WOMEN! Women have a higher threshold for pain while still being EMOTIONAL STRONGER! No toxic masculinity here! Which brings me to this….we’re also MENTALLY STRONGER! Especially due to the fact the cortisol (the stress hormone) actually increases more rapidly in MEN than WOMEN! Okay, I guess men do have higher brain volume, however, with all that volume, women have thicker CORTICES! This is the area of the brain that’s linked to intelligence and brain performance! Let’s not even tap into the SPIRITUAL STRENGTH of a woman!!! Whew! The caption space isn’t big enough! TO ALL OF THE WOMEN OUT THERE (especially black women) that are feeling defeated, remember that the Pharisees were jealous of Jesus because they saw him as a THREAT TO THEIR POSITIONS OF POWER AND PRIVILEGE!!!!!!! It was all because of JEALOUSY! Do you know how strong you are??!
#ad This Bakhoor comb paired with the Yara incense is unmatched!! Iykyk!! Perfect Christmas gift bc it’s so unique!! #incense #yara #incenseburner #christmasgifts
Replying to @layaali BELOVED! 😭Jk she‘s beautiful! Have you heard about miswak sticks?? Not only does this natural stick whiten your teeth but it also helps with gum inflammation, fights plaque, contains minerals that are healthy and essential for your mouth health, as well as (for my pickle eaters) helps to strengthen enamel! The only negative is it has a REALLY unique smell! 🤣 REALLY UNIQUE! Would you try this??
“You’re crazy” YUP! Crazy and glowing in the morning 🤣 I’m loving this set! It includes 2 of my favorite L’Occitane products!! The viral Almond Shower Oil is a body cleanser that transforms from a silky oil to a milky lather upon touching water, leaving skin cleansed, nourished and soft. The set also has the Almond Delicious Hand Cream! This silky-smooth cream melts into the skin, leaving your hands soft and moisturized, with the scent of fresh almonds and vanilla! @LOCCITANE #loccitanepartner
Life is too short to wait for the perfect moment! Give when you can, love without hesitation, and make every moment meaningful. MONEY isn’t real but MOMENTS are 🤣 Live your LIFE sis! #loccitanepartner @LOCCITANE
Using STEAM to straighten my hair?! 🤯 The way I threw my card expeditiously when I saw it! 💳💳💥❗️💻 Also I’m thinking about getting a hair cut! Not too much just 2-3 inches off the bottom (blunt cut) with face framing layers? I don’t know if that’s a thing but that’s what I want. I haven’t had a trim in like 6 months! Would you try this??! #wavytalk #hairsteaming #hairtok #blackhair #tiktokmademebuyit
"I know you’re still MUSTY using that lime!” No bookie…stop projecting! Lime is antibacterial so it won’t stop excessive sweating but it WILL kill the smell. Sweating is a natural way for your body to expel toxins. Now if you’ve tried any natural deodorants and you’re still smelling, your body is doing exactly that, getting rid of the toxins. Now, you should be detoxing your armpits at least once a week! Bentonite clay is the best way to detox your pits… *******THE BENTONITE CLAY SHOULD BE PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE TO INGEST IT!!!!!!!!!******* I have this one linked already! Ingesting this helps double down on toxin removal! It binds to the toxins in the digestive tract and basically inactivates them! It can also remove pesticides and heavy metals! If you’ve been using regular deodorant for a while then this is A MUST before your natural deodorant journey #naturaldeodorant #limedeodorant #underarmdetox

Replying to @Ronnie W Y’all know I love a good skincare routine but I promise you if your gut microbiome is off there is NO amount of cream that will fix it!!!! I always tell people to start your skincare journey when you start your health journey! If you’ve started working on your health and want the skincare routine…it’s linked bookie #skincarejourney #healthjourney #healthyliving #restock #healthyfridgerestock #fridgeorganization
I love my ACTUAL skincare routine but I can tell you it looks 10x better when the glow comes from within FIRST! #skincareroutine #fridgerestock #GlowUp
I have not had a PCOS flare up in almost a year!!! It’s also important to understand that PCOS is not just about being able to have babies!!! YOUR HEALTH is in on the line!!! OVER 50% of ppl with PCOS have TYPE 2 DIABETES BY 40!!! WHOLE FOODS Try not to eat pantry/prepackaged items for at least 3 months! Whole foods like whole grains, beans, and nuts are high in fiber, which can help regulate blood sugar and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Also, foods like fruits, non-starchy vegetables, and unrefined grains have a lower glycemic index (GI) than processed foods like candy, cake, and cookies. A low GI diet can help with weight loss and prevent hunger. OUTDOOR WALKS Walk at least 2 times a day!! At least 1 time outdoors! Walking can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar. SUPPLEMENTS I have my daily supplement list linked but it is important that you know your OWN body and what your body needs. BEEF ORGANS B12 and Folate are two B vitamins which play an important role in PCOS. They both help to lower inflammation and homocysteine levels, which are often elevated in women with PCOS DIGESTIVE ENZYMES Digestive enzymes can help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, which can lead to more efficient digestion. This can help with bloating, gas, constipation, and regularity. Women with PCOS tend to have more gut inflammation which makes it really hard to keep break down certain foods. SAGE My FAVORITE!! Hormonal and anxiety sweats…… GONE! If you have PCOS and have a problem with severe sweating, then you’ll love this! CLEAR STEM All in one PCOS supplement NUTRALFOL Hair growth supplement TEA Peppermint tea every morning before having a SAVORY breakfast and cammomile tea before bed. Recent studies show that drinking 2 cups of peppermint tea a day can lower the male hormone testosterone and increase female hormones needed for ovulation, LIMIT SCREEN TIME Especially before bed ! Read a book or journal instead Blue light from screens like phones, tablets, and computers increases the release of cortisol, which is the body’s stress hormone. High cortisol levels can lead to reduced energy and poor sleep. #pcosawareness #pcos #pcosjourney
WHEW!!! Changes I made to regulate my cortisal levels after finding out I have PCOS in December THAT WOWED MY DOCTOR!!! I was prescribed Metformin but decided that I did not want to depend on medication. I truly believe that your body can heal itself and I know my body better than ANYONE ELSE! HERE’S WHAT I DID….. I started taking Dr. Tobia’s 14 day colon cleanse. After the first 2 days of the cleanse I did a 2 day water fast. In my opinion, this was the jumpstart to it ALL! I felt great but I knew that I needed to be consistent….. After the 2 day fast, I ate only raw fruits and vegtables. My gut was happy!!! I started to implement meat again after day 4. I started with fish for a few days and then later chicken but no meat for dinner. Walking instead of intensive workouts! In the beginning I walked about 4-6 miles everyday. This would be split between eary morning and evening. I found that I was very serious about my nighttime routine also. I CUT OUT COFFEE AND ALCOHOL ! I did ALOT of research on skincare! I’m obsessed with the routine I have now!! I went to my follow up appointment in April and had another ultrasound. This lining of my uterus is now normal!!! My cycle was also shorter and wayyyyy less painful!! I know this is a lot but I definitely want to explain it all thoroughly. If you suspect you have PCOS demand an ultrasound and blood test!!! Should I make a video about this? If so, what should I deep dive into? #pcos #pcosawareness #pcosfighter #pcoslife #healthyliving
YOU SHOULD!! I will never understand why anyone in the black community would say, "I’m not voting because my 1 vote doesn't matter anyway." First of all, it does! Every vote counts!! We’ve all heard our parents and grandparents, at some point, say “pennies add up.” Yes literally pennies do add up but it’s also a metaphor for how small actions can add up to significant contributions over time. Secondly, your ancestors stood on BIG business to get you the RIGHT to do so!!! You should automatically want to vote based on the fact that not too long ago we didn’t even have the right to!! Voting is the best way to show up for your community!! Black women have consistently shown up for our community and culture. We rally, advocate, agitate, and vote. We’ve shown up many times before and this year is no different. Your friends, family, and community are counting on you to show up. They’ll be disappointed if you don’t vote. Although your vote remains secret, whether or not you participate in each election is a matter of public record. Let’s motivate one another to stay accountable and celebrate the difference we make by showing up together. I encourage you to grab a bestie and make a plan to vote at vote411.org together! And remember, you DO count and so does your vote.
