Instagram is trying so hard to compete with TikTok that they’re trying to become another TikTok. If I wanted to see video after video from random pages I don’t follow, I wouldn’t be on Instagram. Do what we need from you, and bring back the photos of our actual friends!!!
Since its release, ‘All I Want for Christmas’ has earned Mariah Carey over $60 million in royalties. If I was her, I’d be this excited for Christmas to start too 😂🙌🏾
Just saw a TikTok where a woman said the biggest flex is “training your mind to be stronger than your feelings and your boundaries to be stronger than your empathy.” WHEW!
Sure coronavirus may not equal life or death for you, but before you publicly express how dramatic you think people are being, spare a thought for pregnant women, people living with a long term health condition, and the elderly. Not everyone is young, healthy and without risk.
I watched a TikTok about how blind people don’t see ‘darkness’, they see nothingness. A guy who is blind in one eye tried to describe it. He said it’s like seeing out of your elbow. You can’t. Because there no functioning eye there. My mind is blown. I also can’t even fathom it.
If a woman goes online to find a recipe FOR YOU; she really cares. She could have easily said “I don’t know how to make it” but is willing to learn to make you happy. Even professional chefs aren’t walking recipe books. Anyway, throw the whole man away if he mocks you for trying.
I saw a TikTok once where a woman said you know you’re in a healthy relationship when your worst fear isn’t getting cheated on or disrespected, but it’s the other person dying 😩😩😩😩
“Marry someone you’re physically attracted to because they will annoy you at some point, and when they annoy you, at least you will be looking at someone who is fine. Someone who is not fine to you will just make you angrier.” - My Mother
I’m at my brothers house and I started singing along to SZA then he flinched and was like “that’s so weird”. I asked what’s up… He said he’s so used to his wife being able to sing that he forgot what bad singing sounds like 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
As a child, gestures like this mean a lot. She could have taken any bag, but the fact she took the bag her 9yr old made is going to fill her daughter with so much confidence. Parental support like this creates core memories that can have a huge impact on a child’s development.
This actually got me really emotional... I think as women, we block out a lot of stuff unknowingly. This video just reminded me of incidents I would much rather forget. It does the job though...and EVERYONE needs to watch it.
If a man I was dating asked me to get tested before we had sex, I wouldn't be offended. I'd be very impressed.
To me, asking someone to get tested doesn't suggest you have a negative opinion of them. It suggests that you're sensible, cautious and proactive about sexual health.
A Cornell University study found that men overestimate their abilities and performance, while women underestimate both. A Hewlett Packard report also suggests men apply for jobs when they meet 60% of the qualifications but women apply if they meet 100%. APPLY FOR THE JOBS LADIES.
The white woman’s husband almost hit the Black woman with his car. Then in reaction to the Black woman rightfully having an issue with it, his wife hops out the car and pulls a gun on the Black woman?! She can’t get away with this behaviour. This is how we get killed for nothing.
Twenty somethings: Don’t be so hard on yourself. Success and love can come at any time. Your twenties are your first decade of adulthood, so experience new things, explore the world, grow, learn. Stop putting a deadline on God’s timeline for you. Life is a journey, not a race ❤️
THIS is why I'm not totally against plastic surgery. Women's bodies go through so much - hormonal changes, pregnancy, breastfeeding etc. and not everything can be changed in a gym. If having surgery will make someone happy and improve their self esteem, who am I to judge?
Being a homebody can be such a mental battle. Whenever I go out, I wish I was chilling at home. Then when I'm chilling at home, I feel like I'm wasting my life away because I rarely go out.
😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
"We don't say we're married anymore. We refer to ourselves as life partners, where you get into that space where you realize you're literally with somebody for the rest of your life. There's no deal breakers. There's nothing she could do, ever - that would break our relationship"
You see this mob mentality? This is why we cross the road when we see a group of guys. This is why we look down when we’re forced to walk past them. This is partly why we walk to the restroom with our girls in the club. The things some men do when we’re outnumbered is DISGUSTING.
“I’m sorry IF I offended anyone”.
“By singing along to the Fugees”.
This is an example of someone being deliberately obtuse. Gina Rodriguez KNOWS she offended people, not for singing a song but for saying the N-word. If the apology is going to be insincere, just keep quiet.
She was pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving, but let go because the officer had an emergency call about a pedestrian on the highway. Moments after tweeting the below tweet, she ended up driving into the same officer, his colleague, and the pedestrian - killing them all.
Being in a relationship with someone who is naturally a ‘giver’ is enjoyable, but you also need to be aware of the fact that just because they give a lot and like taking care of people, doesn’t mean all you should do is take. Givers like to be on the receiving end sometimes too.
I made a TikTok about how the young me would have been so impressed by the life I’m living now and one woman on TikTok commented “no kids and no marriage”. I replied “I wouldn’t trade my life for your husband and your kids”, and now suddenly, I’m the bad guy!!! 😅😭😂
Relationships are much sweeter when you and your partner are actual FRIENDS. You turn up together, gossip together, talk honestly, have fun, and generally vibe like besties. They shouldn’t replace your original friends but it’s great when your dynamic is more than just romantic.
7 signs you have a good partner:
1. They handle conflict maturely
Name calling, gaslighting, ridiculing, and physical abuse isn’t something you deal with. When you’re in disagreement they don’t put you down or behave aggressively. They talk respectfully, calmly and openly.
Disrespecting your partner is awful, but it’s particularly terrible when you do something that gives others the confidence to disrespect your partner too.
No, because I think more children have ‘suffered’ as a result of having unprepared parents or financially struggling parents than they have from having ‘old’ parents.
So sad to discover that Amanda from Soft White Underbelly has passed away. She died of natural causes, having been clean for almost a year. RIP to such a determined and sweet soul, who touched so many hearts 💕
Whether this is a ‘true’ story or not; people who struggle to have fun without alcohol need serious help. Also, people use the term ‘best friend’ too loosely. My best friend could say she’s getting married in a shed with no lights or water on Christmas Day. I’m going to be there.
I’ve learned from Reddit that highly insecure women with zero sauce can be real witches for their wedding day, because it’s literally the one day people might give them the attention they desperately desire and rarely get, so they will do the absolute friggin most for it.
Just saw a TikTok where a woman said “do you actually want it or do you want other people to see that you have it?” and WHEW! I feel like more ppl need to ask themselves this, because what they THINK they want, isn’t what they actually want. What they really desire is acceptance.
Unwillingness to be vulnerable. Whether that’s making the first move, loving out loud, saying exactly what they’re thinking, sharing exactly what they’re feeling… So many people are on the defence, ready to be disappointed before anything has even gotten started.
There’s a woman on TikTok who said her family have two dishwashers.
A ‘clean one’ full of ready to use dishes and a ‘dirty one’ for dishes that have been used. As one dishwasher empties, the other one fills. No dishes piling up on the counter and no loading or unloading…
Have I friend-zoned really sweet guys? Yes. Do I regret it? No.
My Mum has always said it's not just about finding a nice guy. It's about finding a nice guy whose clothes you want to rip off. Sexual attraction is important. Let's not sugar coat it.
People in general don’t like doing things when they are demanded, or expected without consideration. The entitlement zaps the joy out of catering from a place of love. Many will happily cook within a loving relationship. The problem is online strangers implying it’s their job.
Too many ppl ridiculed Megan. They attempted to justify their bullying with “the truth will come out in court!”. Well the truth is out. Based on testimony and evidence, Tory Lanez has been found guilty. Will ppl be as loud with their apologies as they were with their belittling?
The person who claims they don’t really like people, always seems to be really good at reading people. Maybe their ability to read people so well contributes to why they don’t like people so much. They see through all the BS 🤣
Mamoudou Gassama is an illegal immigrant living in Paris. Despite the possibility of being identified as illegal, he still did what was right. French president Macron will be honouring him and granting him full citizenship. He has also been offered a job with the fire service!
Zero conflict / no uncomfortable conversations. Hear me out for a second! When you care, you bring stuff up. You bring stuff up because you want improvement, and you want improvement because you wanna stay. When you stop bringing stuff up, it’s a sign you’ve mentally checked out!
There’s a woman on my flight and she looks so expensive. She’s wearing a cream suit with a Hermes scarf, carrying a Hermes Kelly, and sporting Celine sunglasses - on a 9 hour flight. She looks so stylish. I wanna know more about her and where she’s going when she lands 🤣
A therapist on TikTok said “to understand how impacted you were by your childhood, imagine having a kid (if you don’t have one); then imagine your kid being raised by your parents, and what impact that would have on them”. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Taylor Swift's appearance at the Super Bowl helped it become the most-watched broadcast in US television history since the 1969 moon landing.

Women with perky boobs are really winning when it comes to clothes shopping. Nowadays, if it’s not cut out; it’s backless, strapless, or basically see through. Brands really aren’t accommodating bra wearing like they used to 😅
"Most men don't marry the woman they love(d) the most. They marry the woman that is around when they are ready to marry".
I saw this shared on Instagram and wanted some male opinions on this. Is this statement completely false or does it hold some truth?
I hope every woman ends up with someone who spoils her; but especially first born daughters. You give so much to everyone else… May you find yourself with someone who gives a lot to you ♥️
He’d been sharing my content for years until I noticed. He finally slid in my DMs after buying my first book. He’s in 🇺🇸, I’m in 🇬🇧. We ended up FaceTiming daily. Within 4weeks he flew out to me. It’s been over 1year now and we travel almost monthly. So glad I wrote the book!!!😅
Heartbreak. As bad as it feels in the moment, I honestly think something wonderful happens to a lot of people after a heartbreak. There’s a period of rediscovering who you are… And redefining yourself. It can be so utterly transformative and life-changing, in a good way.
My man asked me how much my hairstyles cost and I said “Being a bad b*tch isn’t cheap” and he replied “Why must you be a bad bitch? Why can’t you be a vessel of the Lord?” 🤣😂 💀💀💀🙃🙃🙃
A lot of men want to be at the height of their career before marriage, in fear that having a wife will distract them from their goals.
The irony is that lots of men who achieved greatness throughout history, did so with a woman by their side. The right one won't be a burden.
Don’t let angry men lead you to believe your life as a woman is over at 30. I became a bestselling author in my thirties. I met the love of my life in my thirties. I started my own business in my thirties. I quadrupled my income in my thirties. Your story is yours to write ❤️
I spent three weeks in Mexico hosting wellbeing retreats for black women. All of us were strangers who travelled to Mexico solo, but by the end of the trip we managed to build bonds, relax, reconnect with ourselves and more. To more black women travelling in 2020 🥂
Littering. I just can’t get my head around throwing trash in the street. The total disregard for your community and environment is mind boggling to me.
I don't 'fall' in love anymore. I did that when I was younger. I’d let my feelings control me but now I control my feelings. At my age, I walk into love. I walk into love with discernment, decision, with action and with intention. To love someone is something I actively choose.
This is a reminder that a woman’s risk of getting Bacterial Vaginosis increases if she uses hygiene products containing perfumes or antiseptics to bath, smokes, has an IUD, uses strong detergent etc. BV is not an STD. It’s the result of an imbalance of natural vaginal bacteria.
I know a few women in their 20s who dislike their full/chubby cheeks and wish their face was more chiselled. If you're one of these women, that fat is what will keep you looking younger than your peers in older age. You might not like it now but you'll appreciate it one day.
Sometimes as a woman, it really does feel like you can’t win. If you don’t accept the drink and he can’t take rejection, he will make you feel uncomfortable all night. If you accept the drink, he may act entitled to your space, making you feel uncomfortable all night…
If men saw a photo of two women with similar body shapes but one was natural and one wasn’t; they’d choose natural. But the thing is, natural bodies come in all shapes & sizes. When they say they prefer natural, most are still thinking about a very specific body shape.
