 Hey y'all, how are you guys doing today? First off, I want to say Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope that you are having a lovely holiday. I hope that you are getting whatever your hearts desire, whether it that be being with your family, friends, whoever may be child. Let me fix this, y'all, move up some. So yes, I got on my holiday outfit, my mommy uniform. I did have on, JP and I did have on matcha pajamas which I'm hot, so I had to switch into this top. So y'all, we're gonna jump right into it. It is wash day for me. I'm behind, what else is new? I'm going to be flat ironing straight in my hair. I'm gonna get into that, but the purpose of this is to detangle, detangle, detangle. My hair is so dirty. I know it's very dirty. I am so behind on videos. Hear me out, hear me out, sis, hear me out, okay? This is a serious situation. I'm behind on those reviews. And to make it even worse, I'm buying more products. I want to be doing those videos here soon, but I'm not gonna be leaving you guys hanging, hence this chit chat. And so we're gonna be detangling my hair while talking to you guys. Let's get right into it. I have some Oliveira gel that JB cut up for me, which I'll hot mess. So y'all know how we do this. I talk about what's going on in my personal life when I'm watching on YouTube and what I'm watching on TV. Baby, 2023 is about the end. And it's the end of revealing girl. It's the awakening, revelations are coming. Some of this stuff though, you guys, are we really surprised? Like seriously, are you really surprised that some of this stuff is coming up? Because I'm not, hear me out. Before we get into all that, let's just go ahead and talk about what's going on in my personal life. We'll put this hot comb over here. So it's Christmas and JB got up early for Christmas. When I tell you early, I mean four o'clock. And I knew he would get up early and truth be told, I was already up. Cause y'all, I haven't saw him near really bad. Anyway, enough of that. He got up, got all his presents, y'all. He got, my old school baby, he got everything from a blockbuster Lancelot or, how do you pronounce it? Basically you can hold a blockbuster card and my husband has a blockbuster card that we need to find around this house. Y'all, I'm just using this Oliveira and I'm just gonna be finger-detangling and then going in with the comb. He received so many, so many quirky things. Of course I got him some new shoes cause he needed some new shoes and games cause he's a gaming kid. I got him a poster from one of his favorite movies. It's the Wizard with Fred Savage of all people. Y'all, my child was such an 80s baby. But the one thing that he's been playing the most besides his WiiU that my husband bought him, y'all. He's been playing with that Snoopy. Remember y'all, remember that old school Snoopy ice cream cone where you will put ice in it and then you would grind it? It was like a igloo type of house and I know that's probably not politically correct but you will put the ice in it. Snoopy's big ass was on top of it and you will grind it and you will get ice, right? And then you put like a little bitty syrup package. Let me tell you something. He's been in that thing, he's been playing with First of all, all of the little Kool-Aid pack is gone already. He's been in there grinding it. He was grinding that thing for a good 30 minutes just to get two gulps of snow cone. And he was like, ooh, this is good the first time. Ooh, this is good, mama. Second time. That's a rip off. He said, this is a rip off, mama. I don't say anything cause I already know. I relived this 30 years ago. I already know what it's gonna have cause I didn't say anything. I said, oh, I'm so sorry, baby. You see how her appearance be. You see how happy I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry, honey that it's not working but we're enjoying it. And my husband is not here. He's in Kansas but we did FaceTime him so that he can talk to him and you know, just let him know how everything went. And so my parents and niece are coming tomorrow, baby. I'm having to baby proof the house cause she's bringing her baby. Now her baby isn't really that busy because she just turned one. It would be totally different if she was bringing a toddler. A toddler is being to all types of stuff but this is a baby. She's still sitting on people's laps and looking around. So she'll be okay but you can never be too safe. So I'm making sure that there's not a bunch of stuff just laying around. Sorry, y'all. I'm finally getting some shit at here which is good. So yeah, I could have went over to my best friend's house I needed to do my hair. So there's none of that happening. We went to go visit my husband in Kansas. He's working in right on the border of Kansas and there's nothing to do in Kansas. Nothing, chicken with chit chat. Me, you guys, I don't really care. Like, I mean, I do care but it doesn't bother me to live in someplace that's not, cause I come from humble beginnings. You know what I mean? So my thing is that as long as it's clean and safe, I'm cool. You know what I mean? I said, well, you know, I'll cook. He said, well, I don't know if you can cook on the stove. I'm like, you must don't know who you married. I can cook on the stove. Matter of fact, I can cook outside. Oh yes, give me a Dutch oven. If you could put the fire together, I can cook outside. I'll be good. So sure enough, I cooked slate the food. He ate all that food so fast because Mr. Mann has lost weight. My husband's tall and he's down to like, he's lost like 10 pounds because I ain't cooking. You see? And that's nice. So, I mean, I've lost weight too. So anyway, y'all, we went there, nothing there but to eat and vintage, excuse me, thrift shopping with JB and I went to this banging baby. When I tell you, this is one of the best thrift stores. Y'all, I'm so old fashioned. One of the best thrift stores that I think that we've ever visited, JB and I, we all went as a family one day. And then I whispered to JB, we'll come back and spend all day in here. And that's what we, I don't know if y'all heard me. I told him, I said, we will come back and spend all day. We spent the good two hours in there. Ciao. They had mostly home stuff but toys and old toys too, equipment and they hadn't upstairs. And so JB and I went upstairs and all of a sudden I hear JB, he yells, mama, they have A-tracks. And the owner downstairs started laughing. She's like, I've never seen a child so happy about seeing A-tracks. I said, well, you got no idea. So I thought he would get an A-track player cause they found, he found an A-track player but instead he ended up getting some coins and I got some vintage vases. I can show them to you guys. And I've been wanting something like this because I do switch up my table skate depending on the seasons. And so for spring, I have a blue, white lemon. And so I felt these beautiful, what is this called? What is this called, you guys? Chana Reese, Chana, Chana Reese? Girl, I don't know. It's cute though. They're probably not legit vintage in there cause they were very affordable, like three and $4. I got like four of them. And so this is so nice, so nice, nice, nice. I'm so excited to, I know spring is gonna be here. I can't believe that we're already at the end of 2023. That's crazy. So yeah, my family is coming and then after my family's coming tomorrow, they're coming tomorrow, we're actually gonna go up there meaning JB and I, we're gonna visit this coming weekend. We're gonna spend the night because he's still out. You know, he doesn't go back to school until June 6th. No, January 6th. So yeah, so that's going on. I contacted my another family member and let them know that I'm gonna come visit them cause that's the whole point you guys moving back is to make sure that I reconnect with my family and really spend time with them. So that's what's been going on. Everything is good. Everything is great. I'm feeling good, I'm looking good. I'm trying girl, I'm trying. So you guys, I do have another video that let me tell you something. It was a mess for me to record this video. I did a video on goal setting because it's the end of the year and I just don't like the setup. I did a downward taping or filming of it and because I'm not used to it, I'm pretty sure I can get away with the one time since I probably won't ever do it again. It'll be okay, but I just don't like it. I don't know if y'all are still interested in seeing it and I can make it live. It's a pretty long video, almost 20 minutes of me sharing how I set my goals, what I'm using, what I've done in the past and all of that because I do set goals as an individual. I've always done that. I haven't been that great these past few years and that's what I was basically explaining on what I plan on doing differently this year. So yeah, I have that video coming and as I stated, of course, this video pressing up my hair and hopefully in January, I can get back to the product reviews. I'm sorry, y'all, I'm all over the place. I can get back to the product reviews and we can get busy with that. So all right, you guys, what I'm watching on YouTube. First off, I would like to say that I'm so glad to see color. Beautiful was back, but baby, when I saw African export actually commenting on somebody's channel, on her channel, I was like, are you serious? I was so surprised to see that. A lot of the OG natural hair are, they're lurking. They really are and the reason why I know this is because I do, I am, I communicate with some of them. I'm not gonna name drop. I communicate with some of them, not a lot of them, but, and I know that they're lurking. They are around. That's it. What else, you guys? Again, the true crime, I'm all on. Uh-oh, the true crime I'm all about. Let me tell y'all about, let me tell you something. I'm gonna tell y'all about this, a little bit about this one true crime story that I was so surprised by what happened in the outcome. It really had me like, cause typically when I've been watching these true crime cases, I try to guess what's gonna happen. Oh, I'm like, oh yeah, I knew she killed her. I knew she did it. This one, I was shocked. So it's the case of Mary Day. So I'm not gonna get into all the details. So along the story short, there's this child who went missing and the sisters of Mary Day came forward years later and questioned the other sisters, like we're having a Mary, you know, Mary apparently had ran away, but the sisters that were her sisters, excuse me, were basically had a hunch that they felt that their parents actually killed their own sister, Mary. So the one sister went to the other sister and was like, so whatever happened to Mary and the one, and the other sister was like, oh, we don't, we don't talk about her. We don't talk about Mary Day. So I was like, what? Her parents never talked about this particular sister. The parents were like, she ran away and she always does that. She always, but the sister was too young at the time of her running away to understand what that meant and what the relationship was like. Long story short, girl, the sisters ended up filing a missing person because the parents never did it. And I think the child was like 12, 13 years old. She was the child basically under the age of 16, 18, but definitely under the age of 16, 15, right? She found a missing person. The person that the investigators started doing all of this work to try to find Mary Day. They even went as far as to interview, I believe it was the stepfather and the mother bring her in and they're like, why did you never claim your child as a missing person? And the mother was like, because Mary always doing some foul or some foolery stuff. She always running away. And I was like, you sound something's up. So they bought cadaver dogs out to a particular location that the family was known to be in. The dogs had sniffed something. The dogs found a shoe and I was like, oh my God, they found this child. They found the shoe. They kept digging, digging, digging, digging, nothing, but a shoe. Everything goes, the case goes cold basically. A couple of months go by and all of a sudden the detective that was on the case, he gets a call from Phoenix and he's like, we found Mary Day. He said, where was her body? He said, no, we pulled over a person and she presented a license or ID with Mary Day. And the cop was surprised like, so Mary is alive? They're like, yeah, she's alive. When I tell you, I'm like, what? So Mary's alive. So Mary Day, they called her Phoenix Mary, right? They called her Phoenix Mary. And so he was like, y'all, let me do my hair. So he was like, we need to figure out if this is really Mary Day. So they did a DNA test, did the DNA test and came back positive. It's really Mary Day. So they're like, what the? So they did this long investigation and the original investigator, he got off the case. Another woman came on and she decided to really go in and talk to Mary and the sisters, because she has two sisters, Mary Day does. They were talking to Phoenix Mary because Phoenix Mary ended up moving in with one of the sisters. Now, their biological father passed away. When he did, he left them all a lump sum of money but they had a code to where they all knew what the code was about the lump sum of money. And so when the others was to ask her what the code was, Phoenix Mary, supposedly Mary Day was like, mama say mama say mama say mama say mama. That's not the code. When the code was, the code word was some like shocker console or something, you know what I mean, y'all? So she basically did not, the sisters felt like that wasn't their biological sister because there were so many things. She didn't know and it just didn't feel right. This one investigator was still doing it, still looking into it. By this time, unfortunately, Mary Day had, Phoenix Mary, excuse me, had developed cancer and she really wasn't about talking to people but the detective was like, you know, let's just give your son and your family some closer because your sister's been looking for you all this time. She finally agreed to talk to this one detective. Come to find out this girl did run away after her stepfather yelled at her cause she, he accused her of poisoning his dog and killing the dog. And so there was a, there was speculation that perhaps due to that, the family did kill her but she was so scared she actually ran away that night. Excuse me y'all. She ran away that night. Why didn't y'all tell me that was on me? The little girl ran away that night, right? Teenager and from then she was a drifter going to this state, this state. And another thing that made them suspicious is that Phoenix Mary had a southern accent and they said, well, while she was, she was in the South a long time. Basically doing her primary years. That's why, that's how she developed a southern accent and then she really didn't have a job. She was strung out on drugs for a while and she just had some substance abuse. But it was really her. And so her sisters came to a closure. They accepted her. But I felt a certain type of way that, you know, they didn't believe her because looking at the picture of the grown up, Mary Day, she looked like the child photo. Same structure, same, same facial structure. And another thing, and it's something that the detective, the one lady detective was saying that sometimes when you do, when you're on certain drugs or even if it's alcohol, it can do something with your memory loss. It can do something with your memory and your brain. Of course, we know this. And so that's probably why she didn't know all of this stuff. But she can remember, she can remember a lot of the things that her sisters knew about. So I just thought that was so interesting, you guys. So watching that. And girl, we're gonna talk about this Kristen BBL. Let me tell you something. So it's been a week, almost two weeks now, that Sulfiology, she's a young lady that lives out in Houston, Texas. And I actually have been following her for about three or four years. I discovered her on YouTube. And the reason why I liked her videos initially is because she would do three in one video. She would do makeup, hair, and outfit. And it was cute. I thought it was cute. And I liked some of her videos. She would start off with a Bible scripture and all of that. She's Nigerian. She actually goes to UNT, which is my school, my old college. And so I don't know if she's still enrolled there. She graduated, she's very young. Now, this is not to be shady or anything because I thought she was older. She's only 25. And not that I thought she was like in her 30s, but I thought that she was in her late 20s, at least 27, 28. Because sometimes she comes off a lot more mature than I thought she was. However, now with some of these videos, I'm starting to see the youth. So she had, she's gone viral because she stated that she had a Christian B.B.O. And B.B.O., you guys know, is a Brazilian butt lift, which is the most, it is the most dangerous surgery you can have. They go overseas because it's cheaper to do it. It's very, very, very unfortunate that so many women have died from it. And some of them just don't care. They still do it. So anyway, this one young lady did it anyway. And I saw a video of hers on six month Instagram because I followed her on Instagram too. And just her, the way she, it came off as, I don't want to say cocky. I don't want to say that. I don't want to say it came off as cocky, but it came off in a very distasteful manner that I had to unsubscribe for that. So then I said, okay, well, let me check her out on YouTube and see what she's talking about. I think that her saying that she got a Christian B.B.O. I think her saying that was a tongue in cheek. I really do. I really do think that. However, I'm going to say this, as someone, a young person, a influencer on a platform, she has to know by now that there are tons of other young women her age and possibly even younger who are looking at her, you know, and they are inspired. And so the video that I saw recently, she basically said, you know, God woke me up. This is a very dangerous, you know, surgery and I was blessed enough basically and I was able to wake up. This is where I kind of have an issue with all of that. And this is not coming from a place of judgment. As Christians, we are called to live a certain type of life. Now, I'm not going to say that we should, I don't think we should be placed in boxes. I'm not saying that. But Christian and B.B.O. to me, don't go in the same sentence. It's an oxymoron. So don't use that as an excuse to get M.B.B.O. Say that you are self-absorbed and you want it to have your butt done. I would be more, I would appreciate that more than anything. Don't put no type of Christian spin on it. And she was saying, I'm going to get, you know, I'm going to keep it up. I'm going to make sure that I exercise and do what I need to do. It's more than just that. Like when you have surgery like that, you may have to have surgery again, because she's so young. Your body, this is nothing, you guys. I am a, a part of me is against any type of surgery before you have kids. Because your body changes so much. I mean, like seriously, it changes. I mean, even, let's forget having kids. Going from 20 to 30, your body is changing. And I think a lot of these young women, they don't know that even your face changes. Yeah, so it's her body, it's her life. She could do whatever she want. Leave the world behind. And I've seen mixed reviews about it. But I liked it, you guys. It's on Netflix. It has Kevin Bacon. It has Julia Roberts. It has a fine chocolate brother. I can't pronounce his name. It begins with the M. He played the moonlight. I enjoyed the movie. It was different, you know, besides the D or sitting up staring at you. That would have freaked me out, but it was different. And I know a lot of people, I'm not gonna give any spoilers. I know some people were confused about the ending. I have a different opinion. I think, I'm just gonna say this. I think everything is gonna be okay. I don't think that is the end-off or end-off. Look at this, y'all. Look at this knot. Can y'all see that? You see that? I need to work on that. Let me put some conditioner on it. But yeah, I enjoyed the movie. There's another movie that I added to my list. It's called Maestro. It's about a conductor who falls in love with a woman, but he's really playing for the other side. And maybe he's playing for both sides, y'all. We just don't know what that means. Gonna be watching that soon, because I added it to my list. Netflix has a couple of things coming out that I'm excited to watch. Also watch May, December with Julianne Moore. It is roughly based on the life of Mary K. Latterno. You know, the teacher that, so she ended up dying from cancer, you guys, a couple of years afterwards. Okay, baby, can you go in there? Because I'm talking about some disturbing stuff. Can you go in there? But we forgot this. Ciao, T.D. Jake. And that's what I was talking about when I said, are you surprised? Let me tell you something. As soon as he became affiliated with Oprah Winfrey, that's when you should've known not to be surprised about T.D. Jake's. Now, there's still some information coming out, but it is, it's been confirmed that he will go to these Diddy parties. And I guess the main thing that people have been seeing is that he is a power bottom, which I'm not gonna go into detail of that, it has to do with the LGBTQ community. And they know what a power bottom is, girl. And so, ciao. I've seen some of the videos, and I've seen, no, no, I've seen one video of him dancing at a party. And it's not, let me just say this. It's not to say that Christians can't have fun. I will say this though. In my opinion, if you are a man of a cloth, if you are a pastor or a first lady, I feel like that you are held at a different, you have people that are looking up to you to live a certain type of way. Again, this is very similar to the, you know, if you're calling yourself a Christian, why are you getting a BBL? So we are called to be set apart from the world. He is so petty. He is so petty. He's been posting, for him to be that old and acting like this, I mean, he'll be posting all the time on a weekly basis, almost daily basis, about Peter, and all his stuff that's coming up. Not surprised about that either. Before they even came out how he was, there is a video of him. I think it was him. What is that one that married to the Hispanic girl? His girlfriend was his Hispanic girl. She was on one of those love and hip hop shows. I'm gonna think about it here in a minute. But anyway, P.A. Diddy, him, another guy, and a roster guy with dreads in his, you know, P.A. Diddy was just being very inappropriate. Clearly he was drunk. And at one point, he tries to lift up the, this guy had on a type of garment that almost had like a apron in the front. And Diddy was trying to lift it up and was basically trying to see his package. And it was just very inappropriate. And even the guy was like, hey, you know, don't do that. So there's been rumors for years about P.A. Diddy being bisexual. I remember seeing a thread years ago that one of the reasons why he had Cassie to shave half her head is cause he wanted to have the feeling of being with a man and then flip her over and it's a woman. I'm like, ooh, that's a good much, but I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised. So again, I am not surprised that all of these allegations are coming out about T.D. Jakes just because who he surrounds himself about. There is a video of Tyler Perry laying hands on T.D. Jakes and for, I think that was a skit, but don't play like that. These people are gonna get tired playing with God, especially in the times that we're in right now. They're gonna get, they, that's all I gotta say. It's a mess, it's a mess. So back to the movies I'm watching you guys. So definitely leave the world behind. Maybe some were with that, you know, Mary Kay return on. There are so many women now that I was just watching a video on Carlos King of a black teacher, African-American teacher that was caught being inappropriate with her with one of her students. And in the comments, I seen a post from a woman who was like, you know, this is a shame. I was a teacher and these kids, I will say, it can be hard with these kids. They're very aggressive. No, it can be hard because this is the thing. I don't even find, I don't even find anybody under the age of 30 attractive, let alone 12, 14, 15. These are probably 14, 15 year old boys at this point. That shit is not cute. That is a child. How stupid people can be to think that you can come up here and have a full on affair with a young boy and don't think he's not gonna go tell his friends. This is a child with an undeveloped brain. He's gonna go brag about it. You're gonna lose your job. Know about, but right now with social media and the way that things are operating in these streets, I don't see how anyone would even consider that it's disgusting to me. So y'all pray over your kids in these schools. And yeah, they're, you know, the kids are very developed and it is what it is. I mean, and this is the thing. I remember when I was like 11 years old, I was very developed and I had grown men hitting on me. Grown men. Child, you couldn't tell me nothing because I didn't know any better though. I got that Tony Braxton haircut with my chubby ass. My auntie cut my hair short. That Tony Braxton haircut was short like Tony Braxton. And so, and I looked like I was legal, but I wasn't, I was only 11 years old. That's just sad. You're gonna lose your entire livelihood, your family over this. And like I stated, the women get a lot easier than the men. And even in the comments, if you look at, if you look at some of those videos, the comments compared to the men that have been caught versus women, you have the men, grown men saying, oh, I wish this was me in school. She's, you know, I wish that was my teacher or the teachers didn't look like this in my school. Like if you have a child that age, would you be okay? Well, let's flip it around. If you had a daughter having that with a man, that was a 35 year old man, that's what he looks like. Would you be okay with that? But since it's a young boy with a woman, oh, he's the main man. Lucky, lucky, lucky boy. I'm messed. I'm almost done, baby. I'm about to be done like, you can watch YouTube on there and get out of my way. Wish them a merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, you guys. Take care. Let's pose for a picture. Here, put it down.
