    Gray hair is highly disrespectful. Whenever I have mine dyed, two days later it's coming back looking at me in the mirror as if to say "we don't die, we multiply"!!!! 😢😢😢😢

      Haha bc you’re not using permanent color or not applying it according to manufacturer instructions. But after a few weeks? Yeah it’s very disrespectful haha

      ​@@smf427 when it's dyed I do use permanent color and have it done at the salon, keep the dye in for longer. My hair is just different. The roots of my hair immediately begins to gray up while the rest of my hair will hold on to the color for several months as portions go gray which is why I say my grays are disrespectful.

    What a great video. What a great time to be a black lady. I have been reading a plethora of blogs and watching vlog videos of black American women who have and are currently making a new home for themselves as expats in other countries. From where you are currently to Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and all over the world black ladies are traveling and making moves. Thank you for your videos and all you have done for black women.

    You were talking that TALK re: buy/paying for happiness, a new life, free time, and peace of mind! Had me pumping my fist and running the church pews at the truth of this. Why? Because I am stressing about how much money I'm spending . . . doing EXACTLY this. Hearing you state the truth so plainly caught me FAST and nearly tossed me in the arms of The Holy Spirit . 🤣😂 Thanks; I needed that!

    I had a Google Fi but they definitely started tripping. But what I did was port my U.S. number over to Google voice which costs $20. Once ported over all you need to do is download the voice app and as long as you have data or wifi you'll receive messages to your U.S. number with no issues. And it works with the international sim in my phone

    I am so GLAD that you eat what you want when you want when you travel. I've seen some travel snobs that said that they wouldn't dare eat at an American establishment when they travel internationally and they don't expect their travel companion to eat there either. I'm like, "you eat where you want and let the other person eat where they want." It's those people that make you want to travel solo. LOL

    In Argentina you get a better conversion rate by going to a money exchange. The conversion rate is much lower when you withdraw from ATM. Also there are long lines for ATM. I am in Mexico the peso value goes up and down..The past couple of days the peso value is down so the perfect time for conversion.

    the max you can get for costa rica is 90 days. but for an extra $100s you can apply for an extension for a maximum of 60 days. but everyone should still check how many days immigration gives you because sometimes they don't give the full 90.
