Tbh if she was gonna do all these collabs, there was definitely better collabs she could’ve done - Mya, a 90s&2000s queen, woulda made sense to me since Lani was referencing a lot of old r&b tones with this album! There was India Shawn, she could’ve collaborated with Syd and/or Jhene Aiko again, Janelle Monae, etc., just a flavorful of upcoming and established r&b artists to choose from rather than the final product.

I feel like some were just not needed and necessary lol…..T-Pain, Usher, Lil Wayne, Lil Jon, Big Sean??? Honestly the album could’ve been fine without them. I feel like if an artist is going to stuff so many features, you gotta make it make sense and those rappers just didn’t make sense for them on there.

However, I did enjoy Clipse, Brandy, Missy Elliott, and esp Leon Thomas on there!!

I also love love love the album cover and the color palette they chose! Chefs kiss tbh it was a beautiful album cover. These are just my thoughts and opinions!

For reference: I have combo oily skin, it tends to be flaky everywhere, I get whiteheads/white bumps more so on my chin and lip area, I have sebaceous filaments on my nose, uneven texture all throughout my face, and have large pores. I am acne prone although I don’t break out often anymore. I get pretty shiny easily on my forehead and nose area.

I can’t really go to the spa every month and would like to find an alternative to get similar treatments at home? Thank you!

Tbh I don’t know why a good portion of the Cure’s fandom and music fans in general diss on her cover of “Lovesong” bc it’s so beautiful! I love how she went with a laid back, boss-a nova route with it and the song makes me feel like it’s an intimate evening with my lover.

I understand that no cover of a song will be like the original, but it’s not trying to be….it’s simply one’s own reimagining of the way a song makes them feel. That’s kind of the point of a cover lol. I find it so weird that people diss on covers so easily simply bc it’s “not the original”.

Anyways, great cover and a great voice to use it. One of my top songs by Adele of all time, I wouldn’t mind if she did a whole album that was of that same sound.

Anyways, great cover and a great voice to use it. I think people should be more open minded with music and not stay stuck in the past all the time 🫶

And tbh I think people just need to see her live versions of the cover, that’s what really sold me.

Edit: leave thoughtful and respectful comments, no need for lazy takes and discourse on here 🙃 these are simply my thoughts on the song and observations of people’s commentary on it.

Hey y’all.

I’m asking because I am applying to new workplaces and am reflecting on my experiences in the past. I want to be prepared in how to adjust and handle what I’m asking in the title.

There have been a few jobs where I was brand new in the workplace and what made it more difficult was not only going through funeral services and grievances in the beginning of a new job, but difficult coworkers and leadership that took out their stress on employees. It was frustrating dealing with stressful personal issues in my personal life and having to show up to a work environment that was uneasy and felt like walking on eggshells. I never said anything in fear of being perceived as difficult as the brand new employee.

One of the worst times in my life tbh. I hated going to work and hated having to work alongside coworkers and leadership that spent their time micromanaging and gossiping….alllll the time.

What & how does a new employee handle toxic work environments?
