always love hearing about marriage from the perspective of married women ☺️
Amen & also from a godly women 🙌🏾💯
Loving the vlog, so far. Yes it's good to have friends for different things. One friend can't tick all the boxes all the time for you and it would be exhausting for them
needed to hear that...because that is my struggle now
I’m not going to lie that therapy talk really really help me! I’m learning slowly but it motivates me more when someone touches my soul in a random way. That’s what I’m praying about constantly! My toxic family members who still cause me pain emotionally and physically when I don’t live with them. I try to be respectful and humble to help my conscious with God. It’s him and I!
GIRLLLLLLLLLLLL! please plan a Ready to Love or Put a Ring On It Watch party! my husband and I are LOCKED IN! we watch every week! I love that you watch this, friend!
When you said “twat chokers” I almost spit out my food 😝😝 I can’t with you 🤣😂🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yees pleae, we need that video on how the different sponge types look like
YES! MARRIAGE WILL ONLY MAGNIFY WHAT IS ALREADY THERE!!! SAY THAT!!!
Love a video on damp, wet, and dry sponge and how it affects your concealer. I love poop spray and even use it at home.
Oh Sis. Come on now. It’s like you were talking to me directly. I wrestled with that offense few days ago and I talked to God about it and the same revelation ur talking about freeing ourselves and the person is very essential for our spiritual growth.
My best part is when you said “Free that person from either their conscious decision not to support or unconscious decision not to support and then free ourselves from the disappointment from that person not supporting us.”
I’m learning and will continue to learn and will continue to grow.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🥰🥰🥰.
Yes! Yes!! We got to! 💕💕
Yes mam, we’re ready for this weeks vlog😍🥰
The rants/reactions at 26:00 are hilarious and everything! That’s me while watching my messy show 90 day fiance 😭💀. I need you to do some advice sessions please! Your energy is needed
Hahaha, advice sessions - tell me more about what you mean. Maybe!
If the bathroom is a MESS, its a NO. And I feel the same way...def don''t want to be the OWNER of someone else's FILTH. That's also a NO. I felt this
I have to say that I truly enjoy your vlogs. The motivate me during the week. And you are teaching me sooooo much by the way you think, speak and conduct yourself! Keep it up Mena… keep it up and I pray you don’t ever change. god has definitely ordained your steps and this is what you are meant to do, whether you have a small or a large audience.
Thank you for sharing bits and pieces of your life.
And yes please we definitely need a “what’s in your purse” video. We also want get ready with me videos where you just talk to us, share your wisdom with us sis!!!!!! Lol
Aaw, thanks so so much - praise God! Ok, I have the Purse video coming and more GRWM videos
Thank you, Mena, for this encouraging chat about others not encouraging you on your journey. I am in the safe position and I know that I can't tell certain people about the new positions God has placed me. You are always beautiful and encouraging. Keep up the good work!!
You are so welcome!
Guess how many times I got on my treadmill this week because of you! You’re getting the Webbie Bestie in shape and full of laughter all at the same time!!! Keep the videos coming!🤣🥰
Did you really! I am so proud of you and excited for you. I am just trying to do better and I’m so glad that you get to laugh along the way!
Girl! You are a vibe.... 🥰
Lol. That is me. No to the bathroom period tho.. lol my bathroom ocd and anxiety is high!
Girl! I think the same thing about public restrooms 😂. But why was the restroom a wreck at 8 AM??!! Shame on Starbucks 🤨
Happy Sunday ❤️💯
I bought the silky toes flats u told us about a while back. They are good to walk in and the bag allows u to put them away and put on ur heels. I love them
And clearly bought the wrong size because the one I got did not fit me and I was just so shocked. I'm going to take a look and find them again. The last I checked, they did not have my size in the color black which is a problem.
@@MENA_ADUBEA wow I hope u find them. They r so small and convenient. I’m not breaking my leaf tryna be cute. I’ll be cute once I sit down 😀😀😀
You're voice is BEAUTIFUL. You should do covers of songs on the channel 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! You know what, that is a good idea! We should do that. I will do another hug. Give me some songs!
I'm a Christian also. So, I think that you should do a mix of secular and christian songs
Hey Mena! I went into Target the other day for Command hooks-6.99 & $115 later I was like WTH just happened?! Target know what they doing. LOL!! I love going to the mall alone..I be in & out. When I got w/my sister it is like a 3hr trip. I love the company but UGH!! In some parts of NY they don't give bags anymore so we all walking around w/recyclable bags looking suspect..LOL..BTW, since we turned down this street, they sell travel sized poopouri 😁👍🏾You are hilarious
Hey Mena, love ur vids and vlogs my virtual homegurl! Yo u are so comical and I’m thankful that I can fellowship & chat it up with you about anything.. Def make my day sis! I have a question….when I apply my concealer (elf camo, NARS, L’Oréal, Mabelline, flower beauty, to name a few…I let it sit for abt a min and when I go in to blend it out with my “damp” beauty blender it lifts off my face or sometimes it happens when I spray my setting spray. Am I not using enough or what am I doing wrong? HELP 💜
Hey boo! Thanks for your sweet words! I love that. Ahhhhh, that's the issue that I'm gonna address in a video for y'all - It'r prob too wet. That has happened to me before. Will film a vid on this to help!
Ok, great! I can’t wait! Thanks sis ❤️
Idk if you've ever mentioned where your headband wig is from but i would like to know please and thanks 🙂
Ooh, should be in the caption - I have 3 of them!
I like Nymas liner on you. I think you need to play with it more maybe blend it out more.
Fantastic vlog...love how you said 'aluminium foil' just like our mother land....a quick question, what do you use to edit your videos
hahaha, thanks! Final Cut Pro!
Thank you
Great video. I said the same about my Fenty (450). I thought it was just me. Your makeup still looks really good on you though.
Booty chokers 😂😂😂😂
You just left a comment on a video called “I Don’t Have Pretty Privilege” You said you have pretty privileged. Honestly that surprises me because you are not what people off of UA-cam would call pretty. In fact you and the content creator of Pretty Privilege look alike although she may be a little lighter. I think it’s good that a dark skinned woman with black features showed her that if YOU think you are beautiful then society will reflect that back to you.
No one came by the car this time lol. Watch Fumi she has been dropping a series on bra hacks and how to dress with different shaped dresses using push up tape, she has so many good hacks. I listen to Trent Shelton as well. Love how he pushes you to be a better you. Speaking on the topic you were discussing, I have “best friend” that I have been friends with since I was 16 but after you start doing the work for you and start paying attention to people, I realized that I am her friend and she isn’t mine. The sooner I realized it is when I don’t place any expectations on her and it’s very liberating just knowing were you stand with people. I don’t drink as much water if I have to be out because I absolutely dread public bathrooms so I watch my liquid intake, I drink more water at home, I know it’s crazy lol!
OK I’m gonna go take a look at her page! I did see the thumbnail and I saw that the video is doing very well, so I just need to go watch it. And you are right about friends! It is unfortunate. When we are all living in dysfunction and basically blinded by our dysfunction, we get along so well. But once you start to grow and to do better, things just are not the same anymore.
Hi beautiful
The "hesi" ain't go "tant" and the "tant aint go "hesi"
aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhHH! WE GET EA'CHOTHA! LOLLLL
"....and in order to live my life the best way, I need shorts."
My fellow melanated sista, no you didn't say that! Lol 😂
(get yo' shorts and live yo' best life girlfriend!)
hahaha!
It doesn’t look red from here Sis
Listen, let me send you my address for that Nyma lip liner because I LOVE it AND I'll pay lol
Omggggggg!!! I already gave it away to someone that I know but join my text community, the information is in the caption of the video, and send me a message. I’ll see what I can do.
Pretty Privileged part 2: I have seen women with your features and complexion get completely ignored in the clubs, like Chris Brown said “No darkies” But somehow you experience pretty privileges while looking like an average dark woman. I think you should do a video sharing your powerful mind set and your ability to transcend colorism and European beauty standards. I think you should talk about how you came to see yourself as beautiful despite a society who says you are not! I would find your story very inspiring and intriguing.
This pretty privilege that you say you experience can you tell us about it?
Whew! I hear you - will do. This is a lot to unpack!
I find these posts offensive. What does colour or shade have to do with being pretty? And why should you be surprised that she says she has pretty privilege? Grow up kid.
it's your beautiful son for me
How was your coffee ? You never told us if it was sweet enough
Oh Lord😄 you’re right! It definitely was not sweet enough but I made it work.
That Fenty is definitely too red on you.
People elsewhere in the world no longer wearing masks 🥺🥺 total envy!
Ohhhhh I know. I only wear it on occasion. I have been vaccinated and our governor actually banned anyone from acquiring anyone from wearing a mask anywhere. So I will see some workers at different establishments still wearing it, out of choice, or maybe they’re being forced to. Not sure. But it’s definitely no longer requirement. But thankfully I am vaccinated so I feel a lot more safe.
Poo pourri has a little purse size/ travel size....get yo life sis
😂😂😂 ok ok
