she said she maintains a very strict diet (no sugar, bread, alcohol, etc. just protein and veggies). and sees her trainer 4-5 times /week.

hot.

WHY on earth would you ruin the fount of beauty flowing in here with.... this... thing?

All.of.this. ESPECIALLY this:

i’m pretty sure that was the song that put the final nail in the coffin of my dislike for them (and jodeci in general. fight me!).

i can’t decide whether the melodramatics in these letters or the sanctimonious tone of these letters is most annoying. but may god bless you for even bothering to read them, much less publish & respond to them.

I just realized that Venus was, like, the original (literary) “big chopper.” Dope.

congrats to chloe! i loved her group’s tribute to prince. (i think “for harriet” posted it right after he passed away?) they are some truly talented women.

awww. i <3 danielle! she is a creative genius, so i am not surprised. 

i was totally surprised/taken off guard by the launch of “the glow up.” no idea of the story or anything, but props to you for taking what you were already doing and have been doing for years (yes, i snuck & checked out your blog) and making your own space on theroot for it, Mai!

Well, it’s sad/disheartening to hear that she’s kind of been shut out. But good for her to keep going/start over.

Tiffany gets on my nerves sometimes (i.e. those comments about Bill Cosby), but I’m glad she’s “running her mouth” about this issue and has never ceased! Much respect to her for always keeping it a buck.

Tracee is another one whose “embrace of self” is so inspiring. I agree that she’s beautiful from the inside out. & she has, indeed, gotten doper with age. Sis pulls off some looks, you hear me?!

That time Rihanna was a bouquet and made history!

These are sooo cute! And I love that another culture is putting its mark on the emoji market. From Japanese origins to American co-opting adoption to an entirely new Ethiopian beginning! 

I want to hear/read your personal Undone review! Did they send you any stuff to try? I don’t even wear the makeup I have. But I am nosey. :)

I normally try to bring food or gift cards for restaurants whenever I come to visit the baby after he/she is born. 

Damn. What is her malfunction?! In what world is this a reasonable reaction to anything? And in front of her child too?! Laquisha need to go ahead and make herself comfortable. I hope she is found guilty, serves all 29 of those years, gets in trouble, and has her sentence extended.

LMFAO @

Indeed he did. I’m sure Will’s always been this likable (and thus bankable), but something about his Instagram account really endears him to me all over again. I was listening to “Summertime” yesterday like “Yaas! He IS The Fresh Prince! How did I forget?”
