And let the shadiness commence!😏
- I really need to get back into getting in shape like I have been talking about for years. I slacked off last year due to stress and being injured. I want to return to exercising. I'm getting older and can't afford to eat like I used to. Sure as hell don't want to be almost 140 like I was in 2021!😵💫
- I plan on being more private. I don't feel the need to overshare every aspect of my life online. I enjoy venting on Twitter but that's it. Facebook, I'm pretty much done with. In fact, I've cleaned off my Instagram following list. I am not sure if those accounts have anything to do with why I'm shadowbanned on there or not.
- As far as traveling and dating, who knows? I'm not going to make any promises like I have over the years. If I do decide to travel, no one will know about it until I come back. If I decide to date, no one will know that either. If I have children, I won't parade it around on my social media to women who either can't or won't have children. It's not anybody's business. I am myself first. I'm glad other BW/MRW are opting out of motherhood as well as dealing with terrible 'men'. I'm like, if it's meant to be, so be it. If not, I've been single all these years. No reason to be sad. My life don't revolve around impressing people I don't like.
- "A lot of younger BW are starting to take relationship & dating advice from Ar@b & WW. Considering the terrible advice most BW give in bl⚫️ck communities, I think this is a good idea"
The best advice I've gotten, has been from an elderly White woman when I worked at Michael's. She asked me if I was married, I said no. She says good because all of these guys are looking for is a nurse with a purse. With my retweet above, I am happy to see other Black women listening to non-Black women's advice on relationships and dating. But if a guy was trash, Black women will push you into giving him a chance, even if the guy doesn't like you. I don't listen to them and I wish they would STFU!
Don't take any advice from chicks who are either getting child support from ex husbands/baby daddies, can't maintain a steady job, sleeping with married men & not getting paid, unattractive without makeup/weave, overweight and desperate for any type of attention.
- I am still going to continue with weight management and exercising. It's a shame how there are people who come up to me for help and yet their hard headed *sses think they know what they are suppose to do or straight up saying they are not going to do it. I'm not going to stop doing what I'm doing. Despite it being cold, I still have to exercise.
- I told Creole Bella I was going to go back to doing music. Days ago, I paid for this keyboard I've been wanting since the 90s. The seller cancels the order telling me that it would cost more to ship it. Who in the hell sells stuff online and not know the shipment cost? So that's out! I enjoyed chatting with customer service:

I personally feel disgusted as I am a musician too. I play guitar and I take time to find guitars and spend time bidding and when this happens,its a pain
05:54:43 UTC Samuel
Dont worry, we will make sure that we will make things right
05:55:25 UTC Samuel
We have a system inplace that automatically flag seller's who misuses cancellation reasons and this report will help us as the human side of eBay
05:55:46 UTC afrojuku
I don't want to leave feedback because they could leave a neg feedback.
05:56:00 UTC Samuel
No, please dont worry about that.
05:56:20 UTC Samuel
eBay removed the seller's ability to leave negative feedback as it often leads to retaliation
05:57:01 UTC Samuel
If the seller leaves a negative comment on a positive feedback, we will remove the negative comment and further penalize the seller
05:57:15 UTC afrojuku
ok
05:57:37 UTC Samuel
You have 60 days to leave an honest feedback of course at your most convenient time
05:58:05 UTC Samuel
I am positive that you will be able to get the same keyboard or even better from a more reliable seller soon
05:58:31 UTC Samuel
Please continue playing music as music makes the worlda better place to live in
05:58:55 UTC Samuel
Sorry that I have to say that, its just that I love music so much
05:59:05 UTC Samuel
You have a wonderful new year okay?
05:59:11 UTC afrojuku
Thanks. This keyboard came out in the mid 90s and I felt like it wasn't worth over $100 for.
06:00:11 UTC Samuel
I trust your expertise in this matter. My apologies, I am more into guitars but when they play together, its makes music better..
06:00:28 UTC afrojuku
it does. lol
06:01:25 UTC Samuel
Definitely, this will me included in my report. I also love the combination of ukelele an xylophone. My son and I play them together and they sound really nice together too
06:01:55 UTC Samuel
Sorry, if I am being sidetracked. Its just that when it comes to music, it makes me really excited.
06:02:37 UTC Samuel
I just would like to reassure you that I have already referred this seller for risk management so we can correct this behaviour on the site.
06:02:59 UTC afrojuku
it's cool lol
06:03:42 UTC Samuel
Thank you. I wish and pray that you will be able to get the same keyboard or better from a good seller and for the right price too this coming new year.
06:03:56 UTC Samuel
Good things happen to good people
06:04:06 UTC afrojuku
thanks
06:04:19 UTC Samuel
I am glad I was able to help. We wish you happiness, good health, and more success this new year.
06:04:27 UTC Samuel
PLease continue playing music.
I bet some of you didn't know I was a musician.🤣🤣🤣 But this message was really inspiration and I will continue with my music.😊
- I'm going to start taking more care of my hair. I will be wearing my natural hair out and about more often. Whether people like it or not. Not about to slap on a wig because people think I look better with hair【I guess my Native genes come out when I wear those】or because my hair isn't 'healthy.' Your hair or face isn't healthy hence why you rarely post on your social media unless you're wearing makeup or straight hair. Your mental health isn't healthy which is why you have pills stashed in your bathroom cabinet. I wear my wigs only during the winter but with how the weather is lately, I am going to wear it out more, which is odd... But my hair has been growing, especially on the alopecia parts. I did this WITHOUT taking supplements!!! I found my supplements that I rarely use but I will start using them this year! Can't wait to show off the results!
- Hey! I haven't made a friend in almost two years! Aren't you proud of me? Glad some of the folks I used to be cool with are going away as well! I love it!
- I will still attempt to cook more often. I can't really eat out anymore anyway because I'm no longer working. If anything, I've been low key dieting.
- The weather is weird as usual. It's currently 67° and cloudy.🌥 Yet it still feels cool.
- As for my books? I am still doing research. Remember those books I purchased back in March? Yeah... I'm still reading them.
- I will be getting my ears pierced this year!
- I can't stress this enough. Please keep emergency funds! I can't believe the dumb*ss women in my family who are BROKE! Working women with no money stashed hidden. Although people see me as a spender, I am actually more of a saver. Grown women who don't know how to manage their own money must know that you have to put aside money incase of an emergency. Priceless.
- I won't be generous with my time anymore. No more chit chats or anything, unless it's a worker at their jobs. As for family, it's a new year and they're still calling with drama and guilt trips. I haven't received a phone call from any of them in a year and it's a damn relief! I remember suffering for years! Only to have family members ignore my existence, give me bad advice or judging me. Then there are people who I rode for many years until their lives got better and I was left behind in the wind. I had to pick my own self up, while battling with a mental illness. Now they're suffering and know what I've been feeling all these years. Doesn't feel good does it? Hope they don't think I'm going to dip into my savings to help them. All of those years I was basically a shut in and forgotten about unless they wanted me around so I can get preyed on by Warlocks. Save your 'hey Xin' and 'I love you Xin'.
- I'm thinking about putting this blog back to being about reviews and such. I need to start being mysterious about my life now.
- As stated on Twitter, my charity work is over with. If you want something from me, you have to pay for it. I give ungrateful people free stuff all the time and it's thankless.
- And lastly, due to the outcome of what happened with my job, I won't be friendly with WM anymore. It took a WW to get the job done. I take cash, not compliments.™️ I'll go back to talking to WM on my travels but with stipulations💲. I am following a newer crowd and I'm glad they have the same views as me when it comes to WM. Majority of them are married and damn near cream themselves in a Black woman's presence. Those days are over with. And I don't give a f*ck if they think I'm fake or flip flopping. I am not putting no man on a pedestal who don't give a damn about me! Living in the South made me realize BM/WM are two sides of the same coin. Go waste some other Black woman's time with small talk or give those frivolous compliments to your insecure White wives so she'll stop talking crap when I walk past her peasant *ss!
And there you have it folks! I did have more but I would rather keep it myself due to lurkers.
1/1 Here's my New Years food/ritual.
We had black eyed peas for luck, greens for money, cornbread for gold. I added the bratwurst as a leftover from last night.
I was going to wait til later but I went ahead and did a cashout on two of the sites I use.
1/7 First purchase of 2023 is this!
Stock Image |
Skin Nutrition Botanicals Tea Tree Oil & Salicylic Acid Balancing Face Wash, 1 oz.
This cleanser was purchased at Dollar Tree but it can be hard to find. I had been wanting to find this ever since I heard all of the good hub bub about it! I purchased two of them and can't wait to use them!
1/9 Wow y'all I am so humbled! My business has started off with a great start! I was on the verge of giving up because it's been a month since I've had any sales. Glad I kept the faith. I'm also glad that I never listened to the bad advice I used to get over the years. People have no idea how much revenue I've lost when I purchased those clothes years ago and got ripped off by the scammer company Buyee. This is so awesome! And to think, if I had listened to the she-devils telling me to give my stuff away. I keep telling y'all, keep them out of your ears!
I forgot to mention this. But days ago, my mom tells me 'Xin, I don't think that girl works here anymore.' Here referring to that grocery store we frequent. And she's right, also my other ex coworker seems to have been M.I.A. as well. Perhaps they moved on. Plus there is too much theft at that store. To be honest, I wasn't interested in working there either. I'm done with retail.
1/12 Today it is officially over with, with that last job of mine. I passed by my old job【Michael's】 and told Mom if they hadn't let me go, I wouldn't have had to work at that insufferable place! All I can focus on are the things that matter to me. I've got projects to do as well as getting paid online. There are bigger things to care about now. I don't know how I feel right now. I felt like breaking down and crying but something is holding it back. I'm not sure where I'm going from here but I pretty sure I don't want to work for a while. This isn't what I wanted things to be but perhaps the universe was seeing how horrible I was being treated at that job, that an accident had to happen in order from me to stop going back there. I've talked about it a little in this blog about how horrible management, coworkers and even the customers were treating me. It was time for me to move on. I hated that it took me two years to realize it was over for me.
1/13 It's Friday the 13th. It's all about the money baby!! And here's what I purchased from Ulta.
I am so sick of these postal services mishandling my boxes. They are lucky these weren't glass, I really would have raised hell! If they are expecting more wages, then they need to handle our parcels with care. They'll hire anybody at these places...
1/16 Today is a holiday. Yet I found this on the ground. lol
Eucerin Hydrating Foaming Daily Facial Cleanser
I can never get enough cleansers!
1/17 Today, I got two freebies in the mail!
Erborian CC Cream and Midol Heat Vibes Menstrual Heat Patch
I am needed that heat patch last week but I plan on passing on the cc cream. Too light for my skin tone.
I have been earning gift cards lately. Since I don't like spending my money in this area, I am going to start using them instead. I hate that some of these cards have a six month availability on them.
1/18 Can't nobody tell me I don't make the best smoothies!!! A week ago I got a bunch of diet foods that was marked down. Best investment so far!
1/19 I drunk some more left over smoothie and exercised today. I need to commit to doing this every three days.
1/21 I got these two gems from Ulta.
First Aid Beauty Travel Size KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA
Clinique All About Clean 2-in-1 Cleansing + Exfoliating Jelly
Clinique Clarifying Lotion 4 - For Oily Skin
The White chick who worked there acted like she wanted to jump my bones as she loved my Japanese jacket and my Sanrio outfit. She hooked me up with something free(Lancôme Fix It Forget It Mist). I appreciate her good service~
1/23 It seems this survey website that I am apart of is no longer shipping out five dollars in their envelopes. It's now ten dollar Amazon gift cards. I guess that's ok.
1/24 So I received an email from this company that told me about bonus miles. So I took one study and bam! Bonus! Plus on this other website I'm not active on, I added even more miles into that account. I've earned a free trip with this one just like the other one. Check out my Making Money Online post to find out ways you can earn miles by doing studies~
1/26 I started on the Valentine's Day hair bows days ago. I stabbed myself in the damn finger with a needle. It's hard work to do these hair bows. And you guys have these lame pills in the cabinet weirdos telling me that my bows should cost $2 to $5. You can tell whose a bum who doesn't know sh*t from who isn't.
I've made up my mind that I no longer wish to go to Texas again. I don't think I'd fit in, just like I stated years ago. I want to explore other states. The South s*cks and so does the people.
1/28 My Lean Cuisine meals in one.
That fettuccini alfredo tasted terrible though...
1/31 As announced on my Twitter page, I will no longer ship outside of the United States. Because that idiot from Europe either refused the package, wasn't at home or didn't give me the correct credentials. His package was stuck in customs for a month and once there was a delivery attempt until it was returning, he didn't bother contacting me UNTIL I contacted him. He tells me no we didn't receive any package. Has he been watching his tracking number the entire time to see that it has been sitting in customs for weeks? If I hadn't contacted him, would he have contacted me about it? This was sheer incompetence on his end. When I purchase anything online, I watch my tracking number every single day! Once I see something going on, I contact the seller asap! I don't wait til the last minute to respond to a message from the seller. Now I am out of money and other customers from different countries are going to be upset that they can no longer shop at my store.
