Are y’all boycotting damn near every brand?

Hey y’all. I just wanted to ask - not judge. Just like we’re trying our hardest as a community to boycott places like Target, are y’all doing the same for specific brands?

For me, I’m super super super into skincare, like obsessed with it. I’m always reading about new products - US & Asian specifically. & I feel like I’m a little behind in knowing which brands support genocide. Are y’all doing your research on items for your skincare & bodycare or are y’all turning a blind eye (which is fine)??

For example, L’Oreal owns soooooo many brands but they support genocide. The Ordinary (Estée Lauder owns DECIEM) are in support of the genocide. Are you still purchasing these items because they work? Or are we doing some diligence by paying a bit more attention to this? I only ask because I’m learning more & more about brands that I use regularly & am now trying to replace it with items that are evidence based & formulated well rather than being a trendy gimmick due to the marketing. But then I feel like it’s a lost cause because L’Oreal & Nestle are one and the same & I mean this is literally everything we consume !!!!!

I feel completely helpless but am trying my best to support the anti-war agenda but damn, this shit is hard. Do y’all pick & choose what you boycott lol? This is a serious convo but like how “boycott-y” do we really need to be !?

Am I the only one? 😰

Quick Question - having trouble understanding. .

Hi there, I am not the most intelligent when it comes to my finances & managing but I am trying to do better each & every day !!

I have a quick question though. . . My employer offers a 5% match for my RSP. I am already matching the 5% with ROTH 401(K), but I'm having trouble understanding if pre-tax or ROTH 401(k) would be a better investment? Eventually I want to get up to at least 15% but where I'm at in life financially, that's not a smart choice right now. So what do you think?

I found the place !! Freedom Park

It’s always been my dream to watch a movie & then find out where they are if it’s ever filmed in a city I have lived or am living in. I’m currently in Charlotte & I had recently watched Roofman with my partner (which was an okay movie but still liked it btw) but there was a scene where (I promise no spoilers !!!) Channing & Kirsten were walking in Freedom Park !!

Me & bae found the exact scene !! It had made my whole entire day. That’s all. 🥰

I FINALLY GOT MY ORDER 😭

Hey y’all !!! I finallyyyyy got my hands on some Korean & Japanese sunscreens & a few toners/essences I wanted to try. The minis are much minier than I thought lmaooo but that’s okay ! I have been WAITING since April 4. I ordered through YesStyle. I honestly thought it would come a bit sooner but it’s cool. That’s what I get for comparing my experiences to others lol.

BUT YAYYYYYYY !!!!!! Excited to try everything !!

My order is taking foreverrrrrrr !!!! But I needed a different sunscreen in the meantime because the Eucerin one I use, I actually hate it on my face.

I randomly got this while out on a lunch break from Whole Foods because I enjoy taking walks sometimes & felt bad not having sunscreen on because I’m also on tret so I’m taking my sun care much more seriously !!

I don’t mind this but it is THICK ! It dries down very nicely though & doesn’t leave a white cast once everything is dried down. I don’t ever use mineral but I wanted to test out the ‘clear zinc’. I probably will return it if my package comes sooner than later lol.

Anyways, really excited to try some more K & J beauty sunscreens that’s on the way, IF MY ORDER EVER GETS HERE (I’m just really impatient lol).

Edit: I’m 31 by the way !

Hi there, just wanted to see if there was anything ! We’re both 31 (he’s a Capricorn 1/11, I’m an Aries 4/6 if these matter). We started dating in Sept 2025 & made it official in January. He is a baby father of a 2 year old. I had gone through a laparoscopy from a fallopian tube rupture caused by an ectopic pregnancy. This occurred on Feb 13 & had surgery on Valentine’s Day. We live 3 hours from each other as well. I just want to know if we have a future. We love each other so much ! Thank you so much 🙏🏽
