REVIVE!!!!!!
REVIVE PRODUCTS SAVED MY LIFE YO!!!! ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WALKED INTO BARNEY'S IN NEED OF A LIL' RETAIL THERAPY AND THIS EUROPEAN WOMAN WITH A HEAVY ACCENT AND A SLIGHTLY OBVIOUS FACELIFT/NOSE JOB COMBO TOLD ME, "COME OVER TO ME WHEN U ARE DONE, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR U. U ARE BREAKING OUT AND I HAVE THE SOLUTION". WELL HOLY SHIT! FUCK BEING OFFENDED CUZ LIKE EVERY OTHER WOMAN ON THIS PLANET, I'M IN SEARCH OF THE CURE FOR TROUBLED SKIN, WEIGHT GAIN, AND BAD HAIR DAYS! WHEN I WALKED OVER TO HER STATION SHE PROCEEDED TO CLEAN MY FACE AND TELL ME ABOUT REVIVE, THIS FRENCH COMPANY CREATED BY A SCIENTIST WHO DEVELOPED TECHNOLOGY FOR SKIN'S ABSORPTION AND CELL REGENERATION. MY BIG PROBLEM WITH EVERY OTHER $100 CREAM OR POTION IS THAT THE SHIT WOULD SIT ON TOP OF MY DRY SKIN INSTEAD OF PENETRATING TO ACTUALLY MOISTURIZE. AS SOON AS SHE PUT THE MOISTURIZER ON IT SOAKED INTO MY SKIN! HALLELUJAH! A SHIMMINYSHAMONAHSHONDAHA! IT WAS A MIRACLE! I'VE BEEN USING THE PRODUCTS EVER SINCE AND HAVEN'T HAD ANY SKIN ISSUES SINCE. THE PRICE TAGS ARE A BIT HEFTY BUT WELL WORTH IT. THE MOISTURIZER RUNS AROUND $165, THE ACNE SERUM $125 AND THE EYE SERUM IS $110...
80'S AND 90'S R&B
WHERE IN THE FEEZY IS GOOD R&B MUSIC NOWADAYS?! I'LL TELL U WHERE, IN A MUTHFUCKIN' TIME WARP CALLED THE 80'S AND 90'S. YES LADS AND LADIES, U LITERALLY HAVE TO BOARD THE DELOREAN AND HIT IT TO THAT ERA CUZ THATS WHERE ALL THE TASTY JAMS RESIDE. I WAS UP TIL 6AM IN COPENHAGEN DOWNLOADING OVER 200 OF MY FAVORITE, NOSTALGIA INVOKING R&B SONGS!!! I MEAN EVERYTHING FROM JADE, CHANGING FACES, BROWNSTONE, SHAI, THE JETS, HI-FIVE, PEBBLES, XSCAPE, 702, R. KELLY, TRACIE SPENCER, AARON HALL, SUBWAY... AND I'VE BEEN JAMMIN' SINCE THEN! GET INTO IT! AND THAT GENIUS BAR IS BANANAS... I LITERALLY WANNA GET DOWN ON MY KNEES AND GIVE IT A SWEET SURPRISE...
ACRYLIC NAILS!
SO, I DEF USED TO BE THE CHICK IN HIGH SCHOOL WITH LONG-ASS TALONS AND THEMES PAINTED ON THEM FOR EVERY HOLIDAY. US FLAGS ON INDEPENDENCE DAY, PUMPKINS ON HALLOWEEN, ETC. ALL DONE AT THE SLEAZLE (AKA THE SLAUSON SWAPMEET). AND I'VE ALWAYS LONGED FOR MY ACRYLICS BUT IN EFFORT TO ACTUALLY GROW UP AND BE MORE "LADY-LIKE" I'VE DENIED MYSELF MY OBSESSION. THEN I HAD AN EPIPHANY! THERE'S NOTHING MORE FEMININE TO ME THAN LONG NAILS! U NEVER HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT POLISH CHIPPING OR BREAKING NAILS EASILY. THEY STAY LOOKIN "DONE" FOR AT LEAST A WEEK AND WHO HAS MORE FUN TALKIN' SHIT AND BEING ABLE TO MOTION AND WAVE UR LONG, HOT PINK, BEDAZZLED-ASS FINGER NAILS AS U TALK?! NO ONE I SAY! NO ONE... AND THEY GON' GET GHETTO-ER, TRUST!
