Good day! Hope everyone is doing well~ This video is a little different and a little more personal, as you can see from the title. The makeup look is already done, but if you'd like to see how I create this look, I will make a separate video for the first TEN comments I receive, per request. ;) Hope you enjoy the video, as you get to learn a little bit more about me and as always, I thank you. ...

I've had just about every natural protective hairstyle under the sun over the past couple of years and eventually got tired of dealing with the high maintenance of hair altogether. Decided to cut my hair super short [again] and wanted to don a look I've always admired on my brothas. In this video, I demonstrate how I stay wavy, on a daily. Enjoy!

    Jewel tones are beautiful on you!!! They are my favorite too!!! What eye shadow color is that?! It’s like a teal/green shade! I love it!!!! I used to be a total eye shadow and makeup junkie (still am) but I’ve also gone to a new pasture where I’m absolutely addicted to high quality beads, Czech glass, Lampwork, Swarovski crafters lines and any of the Austrian crystals! I think my inventory has reached about 200k!!! Since 2020. I definitely have a talent for buying 😂🤣😂 now I need to start MAKING!!! It’s been one of my ways of staying sane and therapy while living under a Covert Passive Aggressive Malicious mother while I’ve been held captive until about 3 months ago. I’m almost 50 now and it really is going to take the rest of my life to overcome even if not fully the damage that has been done to my psyche, brain, health etc.

    We have different views. My mother taughts is that women should please men (slave mentality). Men comes #1. Cook, clean and nurture men. My mother was and is evil. My "mother" was very VERY violent and abusive. 0 love. NO nurturing. She loved being mean. Narcissistic malignant religious sociopath. She can't be trusted till this day. She ruins me and smere campaign me whenever she can. She said my whole life she hated me and wished she never has me. Unlike you my mother taught me NOTHING IN LIFE. NOTHING!! She was in a messed up distance marriage with my father and she projected everything ONLY on ME!! As a teen she called me ho* sl*t b*tch the nastiest words. She also said she hope I'll get a man who beat me. I can write a book. While my brother aka Golden child and bully was praised. They had a weird relationship. Almost incestuous. When she gets old she will find out I wont be there. AN ABUSIVE MOTHER IS WORSE THAN AN ABSENT FATHER!

    I've noticed daughters (not all) tend to have good relationships with their fathers even if their fathers are not good people. Yet the daughters will judge the mothers more harshly than the fathers. Of course, the same could be said of the mothers too - they liked/loved their fathers even if their fathers didn't treat their mother well but then expect their own daughter to reject her father if he is not treating the mother well (I hope that makes sense).

    Hey, I'm so grateful for having found your video on my homepage. I have been feeling so down lately and trying to find someone to talk to, to help me make sense of my situation. you described everything that i have been going through down to a tee, personally i feel like i would really enjoy cooking too if i gave myself the chance to explore it more, but since i'm still living in my mother's house, its hard to do that without her hovering around and making a bad comment about everything i'm doing. So i just stick to locking myself up in my room to avoid running into her because i know when i do she's gonna make a heartbreaking comment about my body. My 2 older sisters both moved out when i was younger and cut off all communication with her, she never stopped complaining about them to relatives talking about how they dont talk to her after everything she's done for them. it wasn't until i got older myself that i came to understand why they had to do what they did. I am glad i am in the mental state that I am today, i have learned to not argue back but just keep silent and mind my business, i have a good work from home job, been working hard to save up and will soon be moving out and do exactly like they did.

    Finally got around to watching your latest video, yessssss!!!! This was heavy, on so many levels. I'll say that as I get older and see how much of a mind-fuck life can be, I have more sympathy for my mother as a person. Also, the anger and resentment is too much of a burden to carry so I'm working on unloading the baggage I've been carrying for so long. It's so hard, but so worth it. Yes to moving forward with our lives!!! (and not repeat the toxic behaviours with our own kids, or even those around us) <3

    • @amakaumez4768
      @amakaumez4768 3 роки тому

  • @Lo_649
    @Lo_649 6 років тому

    I think you should invest in a better brush and when brushing you want to do one long brush stroke from your crown straight to the edges of your hair. That way you can get the front of your hair laid. Also you should try the plastic bag method at the end of your brush sessions to really help your hair lay down before ragging up.
