I ain't got three days to be flat iron in my damn hair. I Ain't got three days to be flat iron in my hair. I could probably go to miss or let and she would Actually, she told me she wouldn't flat on my hair. She didn't say that but she just made a comment last time She's again, we're not flat iron. She'll blow it out for me. But even that even her Because she's so patient when I go to miss or let a Detangling in flat iron is about three hours. Yeah So anyway, y'all um get to the point girl.

So, um, yeah, that's happening. What else with my birthday? Of course, you know filming the blowout filming the cut in my hair I'll we'll be doing a style of my hair. I was trying to figure out Girl, get it together. I was trying to figure out a style you guys I get so much shrinkage When I style my hair on blonde hair and I want my hair to look or be long I don't want to have too much shrinkage. So I think I'm gonna Wear it in a blonde out state for a couple of days And then I'm going to try to do flexi rods the flexi rods will Flex your eyes or even twists will keep my hair stretched out a little bit So, yeah, that's what's happening and those of you don't know My husband's birthday is the day afterwards.

Um, yeah So that's what's going on with the personal stuff So watch out for those videos coming girl. Watch out for those videos Y'all I need to hush up and do my hair because I need to wake up JB here in like 15 minutes JB is doing well Child like I said in the video, uh, JB recovered the fastest But you know what I was thinking Remember I was mentioning in the COVID journey video how JB was the only person that had A fever in the daytime of over 100 I really do think that the fact that he had the highest fever out of even though 101 isn't a really high fever But he's a small child I think the fact that he had such a high fever in the daytime Also contributed to him getting over it the quickest not because my husband kept having a low gary fever for like Nine days like no joke Y'all I felt so bad for my husband that keeping mine I felt good after about four. No, that's a lot after about six or seven days I was on the men's. I had shortness of breath for a couple of days but You know just seeing him Like that really was taking a toll on me and this was going on off and on for a while Okay, girl enough of that. So all right, y'all. What are we watching on youtube? So Let me say this about my video in response to london land I was really not expecting for my video to get that many views y'all. I think it's like at 10,000 views Sorry y'all my camera went off. Um I wasn't expecting for that video to get that many views like that's crazy and honestly I don't think linda was even expecting for her videos to get that many views um, I've seen other people who've done videos in response to the situation with linda and um Monique y'all I did tune in to one of her because I like to give everyone a benefit of a doubt Which is why I'm not really big into the council culture So I did tune in to one of her live prayers Okay, the reason why i'm laughing is because I had to fast forward in one of her lives and I could have sworn she literally prayed about Her enemies falling into a hole And I'm like what? Hmm And I know this a metaphor, you know, she doesn't really intend for her, you know, the people who are against her to have physical uh Get be physically hurt, but I just thought that was very odd I thought it was very very odd. Um, you know, I'm not gonna say anymore about that entire situation, but I just know that I have seen those other videos and Um, some people I am I am in agreement with and then other people I'm like Not sure if I necessarily I agree with some of you girl But I'm not sure if I agree with everything that you're saying so and that's okay Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but I do love the fact regardless of where you stand I do love the fact that so many people Or i'm rallying around linda because I can tell that she's really supportive y'all when I saw her video I started crying. I'm already crying Thanks to everyone who has been supporting her. That was just so sweet of her, you know, um, so anyway, y'all Yeah catching up on those videos. Um You know who I've been watching she's a new youtuber. She's a young lady Um, she has either four or five children Her video has been coming up as a hold on y'all. Let me zoom in her video have been coming up as a recommendation and I think it was like um Tour of the of the projects and sometimes y'all I'm like, okay I I don't want to see any videos glorifying the struggle like I don't want to see this But it was so not what I expected. First of all, I already knew that some people not some not all That's some people who live in their projects. They're not living in rundown housing or housing They're not living in rundown apartments cockroaches everywhere. You know welfare queens and kings It's not like that I get that but I just didn't want to get into that situation where it's almost like Um, I hate to bring her up strong mommy Chrissy Who was another another young lady who has like seriously at this point? She has like eight kids by six different men and it's just A extremely toxic She has a very top. I shouldn't say her but the situation she's in seems to be toxic And completely going around in a circle all the time. I don't see her going outside of the circle She's just all she's making the same mistakes and she's not learning from them. I really do wish someone like that Anyone could reach out to people elders in her community or family. Um Anyway back to this young lady. Her name is peach mech Mech mech and light mech mech and light y'all can't even say her name, right? But it's peach Like eating the fruit peach and again the first video I saw was a tour of her apartment And she's on housing And it's very well put together, you know decorated nicely. It's clean looks like it smells like pine saw and bleach I'm like, yes come through sis. Um, but I like her. I like her personality I like binge to watch a couple of her videos. Look We have to really humble humble ourselves because any one of us can be in that situation especially nowadays. So, um Yeah, I really do like her videos. I watched several of her videos actually Let's see who else am I watching? um I have some notes here Girl, I got back on my She posted a big a video. Yeah, I love these og youtubers who I like the underdogs of the ones who There's you may not agree with everything but they still are consistent with the bs. They consistently Uh, pull up the same raggedy camera or phone It is nothing wrong with that if they have people watching them. So, um So I was watching a couple of people and then I came across Michi Michi Michi is in a Dominican and she was really known for like Five six years ago really known for her Dominican blowout videos And by the way, she's not one of the ones I'm talking about with the the raggedy quality No, I'm talking about some other people whose quality is like girl But I like Michi Michi y'all I won't watch Michi Michi videos in both english and spanish not knowing a lick a spanish child But I would still watch it. Um, so I went back and watched some of her old blowout videos and man They were using Dominicans already use a lot of heat. They were using a crazy amount of heat on her hair Um, but it looked like her hair could handle it. You know It looks like it could handle it. So, um Oh just before I came on I told y'all these og youtubers Cull it beautiful. Is her name ebony? Is that her first name? I'm making up names Cull it beautiful who I know she's based out of california She posted you guys now she's been going for a minute two three years She's been going for a while. I remember watching her videos her makeup tutorials and then she started doing wigs Then she locked her hair. She she got locked. She's since combed those out though But you guys, I don't know. Um She went on that same spiritual awakening path that taren guy did and if that's your thing, baby, do you but um I'm not really into this new age Stuff that you know people do Um, but again, if that's what brings some happiness if that's what brings some some type of peace So be it and I can tell what then I'm I don't want to say that I'm I think that I'm a good a fairly good judgment of people But I also give people the the opportunity to explain themselves when I'm sitting back and waiting for the okay. I knew it So about 15 minutes into her new video. She was saying how you know things in 2020 She's finally glad that some people are Awakening. I'm like, oh here we go At most which again, there's nothing wrong with that But just don't assume and I'm not saying her in general But just don't assume that people are not woke because you don't hear them sharing You know their opinions on something um So anyway, um, so towards the end of the video or the middle of the video She did say that she will be sharing a bit of her spiritual side on her channel Um and that she's is into cards and reading cards and I'm like, okay. Yeah Yeah, so she's you know, that's that's her thing. That's her thing I probably won't be turning into that you guys because that's just not my thing Okay, that's not something that I'm into and I get it, you know, a lot of people are into Um, you know, whatever whatever's your cup of tea, you know crystals Girl crystals and stuff. I'm excited to see her face. I don't know if it was nerves She did say she was nervous um She seems to me to be and I didn't watch all of her videos So I maybe jump in the gun here. She seems to me to be a little bit drained And I don't remember she said that she seems drained. She seems she she she's sure of herself Um, I'm not getting that that she's insecure or anything like that She's very sure of herself and she she understands who she is as an individual But everything that's going on in the world right now is draining her. It's been It's been a drain on her and I think it's been that way with a lot of us to be to be quite honest, you know um, so yeah, she's back Which is exciting, you know Girl, what is going on here? um So yeah, you guys that is all I've been seeing on youtube, uh Uh Nothing else. I've really been looking at I haven't really been interested in seeing, you know, a lot of people um All right, y'all.
