Sister Cursed Heart ... thanks for responding, but trust me, looking young is a wonderful thing! You may be lamenting it now, but you will come to Thank God for that one quality alone, as you are blessed to see the years pass by! :)

You know what yall ... since i've been wearing my hair natural, i look at those who don't in a whole different way. Oh gosh, i'm becoming jaded! :eeek: Not real jaded, like hating on other folk for being in the same place i was, or those in the process of their own personal journey to find and love their own selves ... nothing like that ... but jaded in the sense ... that i wonder, when i see Black women on television or in magazines, with their permed, bone straight hair ... i wonder ... do they feel fake at all? Do they realize that none of that "beauty" would be there, if they didn't alter themselves to get it? They probably don't, i know i never did, which is really amazing. I could never see any of this, while i was in it (wearing my hair permed), never even hardly thought on it.

I sometimes think ... we are such a fake people ... pretending our hair aint really nappy ... and yes, me too ... smh.

Reminds me of a thread i started, Worshipping False Idols.

I've been natural for about 5-6 months now.
I am wearing micro's so I'm basically carefree.
I play with them,wet them,curl them,pin them up or let them run free like a rastafarian.
Now when they come out is another story.:darts:

So true. You can see some one looking busted one day, and next month, they look 40 @ 60. Plastic surgery is more common then we think.
Seriously, I pondered rhinoplasty back in school. Of course as a thin sister, it appeared more prominent. I wanted to reduce the height of the bridge on my nose and smooth out the ridge on it, until I found out that feature was envied and rare... so I said "fluck it, my nose is a part of my heritage... and if you wanna call me everything under the sun except for a Black girl... I'll be that!". We just neeed to learn to :heart: ourselves "as is", and screw whomever can't accept it

Peace

I'd settle for a tummy tuck and stretch mark removal.:pool:
I wouldn't want to change a thing on my face.
However because I constantly rub my eyes from my allergies the lids of my eyes are a bit darker.
I can't stand that!
Anyone have a solution for this?

I see, removing excess weight is not nearly as dangerous as adding botox and implants. I considered lipo on my abs a few months ago, but I am starting to see the results of my exercise, and am glad I didn't dish out thousands for that!!!! Use cocoa butter 3 times a day on stretch marks and they'll gradually fade. There's this stuff called "Tub'O'Butter" in a tall 32 oz canister (?pure cocoa butter?) which clears up blemishes FAST! I had a friend bring some from New York and let me use some; in 1 week, my blemishes were gone 4 real, and skin was clearer than that of a 5 year old. I'm still searching for a beauty store that sells it.

I have the "raccoon" eyes naturally, so there's not much I can nor want to do to change it. Heck, I've been told numerous times that it is sexy and mystifying, so...

I knew some women from India who have HEAVY dark circles around their eyes, and I used to see them using witch hazel several times a day to rid the darkness, or plain bleaching cream; however, I wouldn't recommend the latter.

You may want to try allergy medicine to stop the itching so you won't have to rub your eyes... or just squint/blink really hard to relieve the itch.

Peace
 
I feel prettier without makeup... honestly...
when i wear makeup usually im covering up something.. weither it be how i feel that day.. or my untamed eyebrows that i havent plucked that i need to appear tamed..
thats just my take on things.. I love my wild hair.. and chinky eyes.. they represent all that has went into the creation that is me...
