Happy Sunday Dolce ! 👼🏽 Ultimatums can make or break a relationship. Most men (not talking about the players) know what they want in a woman. When a man is serious he will treat his "partner" with love, trust, and respect. Any critical issues should be addressed at the beginning stages of the partnership/union. Any deviation from the core elements of a lasting relationship, just stop and look no further. Just know your self worth and keep stepping if you have to.

@DolceDawn hi sis confession time: decided to transition back to natural..when I decided to relax last year I did not share that my hair was not in most healthy state..got a keratin treatment 3 years prior that took my hair out😢 it did grow back somewhat but the front of my hair is so dense u can see my scalp..few bald spots in other places..I am older now so have to be careful..when I was Natura I did rollerset but could not style (not a wig braid twist out kinda girl)...I ran from sulphate silicones and protein listening to youtube hacks..I will rollerset using products u recommended as I think will work for natural hair..🙏 for me🩷

Afternoon Dawn, its Debbie Debeaux again. Just finished the elliptical and i want to thank you for the company via Android. I love what you were saying about eating better and just being better to yourself all over. Were twinning with a lot of things. I do the Matcha, but its a bit bitter to me so i wisk it with my mushroom coffee and its so much easier to take and the energy it gives me is awesome. As for chia seeds i have been soaking them in 8 oz of water and then i add it to my smoothies. The chia and flax fill me up so much that I sometimes forget to eat...but missing a few meals is NOT hurting me.

Hey Dawn, this is Debbie Debeaux again 😅, getting caught up on your videos. Loved the pretty scarves you're going to be using. We all use them, so may as well make it pretty. I can't wait to see your #3 goal the fluffy hair. Are we talking Charlie's Angels or Tracy Ellis Ross fluffy only? I have set hair goals for 2025 after another setback in 2024. My first goal is to incorporate more hair and body healthy foods is, greens, sweet potatoes, water etc (and hopefully lose some weight while doing it), #2 Summertime protective hairstyles. I got braids for the first time in my life and I enjoyed it! Third, I found a haircare line that is definitely helping and all the products are pH balanced. Finally I got my hands on Olaplex 1 & 2 and it has definitely helped the breakage slow way down. I've only used the 1 & 2 once which was 1 week post relaxed. Today ( wash day) I'm using #3 followed by the Affirm moisturizing shampoo and deep conditioner. Fingers and legs crossed for all of us to have the best, healthy relaxed hair and healthy minds and bodies ever. I'm now on to your next video while I Olaplex #3 here on this elliptical machine😂

Here is a secret men won't share with womn. Whenever a man says "i usually don't date (fill in the blank) but you are a beautiful exception " ..this is a humbling trick to lower your self-esteem so they can get in your under pants. Leave it to a darkskn BM to play this game to a darkskn BW. Darkskn BM are the biggest puppet masters in the dating game- some how they manged to convice womn that they are victims and the Kangz at the same time😅😅. The whole thing is hilarious, darkskn BW chase darkskn BM while darkskn BM chase lighter and now whiter womn😅😅. Meanwhile they convinced BW that lightskn BM are feminine soft etc, even having BW repeating the same very words and they bash BW that date out , calling them bed wentchs. Its just one big circus thats clearly impacted the marriage rate, out of wedlock birth rate, and S TD rate in the blk community. I tell you, no other group is to blame for this and others, especially lightskn BM should stay away from this, and don't take sides, just date womn who are attracted to you no matter the race or skn color

Hey Dolce. Thanks for the video. Very interesting. Some people think that if one has dark skin, long hair is not possible. So wrong! I few years ago I was asked if my hair was real. 😞 I guess black women cannot grow long hair. I guess its difficult to tell if its a weave these days. But why does one have to tell or know? Have a nice week.

Hey, Judy! Isn’t that crazy? To think that people still believe that Black people can’t grow long hair OR that if you’re dark skinned, you can’t have any other hair type other than 4c… otherwise they think it’s a wig. And I’m not even talking about other people; I’m talking about BLACK people - US - not believing it!! (shakes head) 😒

Wearing someone else's hair on your head, unnaturally colored wigs, contacts, big, fake, eyelashes, a ton of warpaint on their face, fake nails, too tight clothing, or little to no clothing at all does not make you "pretty." And a STANK attitude makes it even worse. Females like this dress for other females, not men. These females don't listen to men, or what they want. And that's why men don't choose them for committed relationships.

Happy Sunday Dolce ! ❤ Colorism/Shadeism has existed for a long as I can remember, especially in the Afro community. Back in the day there were few "darker" role models. I remember my mother talking about Helen Williams who back in the 50', 60s was the first woman of color to cross over into mainstream advertising. It is no surprise that America back then considered her too dark, but she found her success in Paris, France, later in New York. She opened the doors for the Naomi Sims, Beverly Johnson's, who broke down the barriers proving that "black" is beautiful in all shades.
