Quantcast

It's been an emotional and overwhelming week. In the midst of finding normalcy amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we are still here fighting injustice, racism, and police brutality. The death of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor was the straw that broke the camel's back and we're screaming enough is enough! We're protesting, we're holding white people, police officers, and the rest of America accountable. We are not settling for the minimum. In doing this, many of us are protesting in the streets, signing petitions, protesting on social media, and making donations. While, some of us are also using the power of a fresh set to share the message.

Check out these 8 empowering af nail designs that support Black Women and #BlackLivesMatter.

For The Culture

What I love most about this set is that it has different elements of our culture -- a pick, fro', the unified fist, and of course Black Lives Matter. This is also an alternative for the girls who want to keep it natural but still speak up!

This nail design took a slightly different approach. These nails not only defend our culture but it celebrates it.

George Floyd

OK, we have to give this nail tech her flowers because the detail is on point. But we get the message. #JusticeforGeorgeFloyd, period.

Both designs say a lot and call out for better policing tactics! I love variety in length and shape. You can either go long with a stiletto nail or keep it short but spicy with a short pointy set.

BLM

If you're more of the subtle type, you can opt for a one-finger statement instead of all ten fingers. It's short, sweet, and to the point. By the way, these are press-on nails.

This multi-colored "BLM" stiletto set is another simple but meaningful press-on design.

Lastly, we have our very own Joce Blake coming through with this almond shaped BLM nail art.

Aries-April-2025-monthly-horoscopes

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Turns Out Sober Sex Might Be The Underrated Secret To Better Orgasms

Hmph. I know there has got to be at least three times a week when our grandparents will hear about something that folks present as being revolutionary that causes them to just roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and continue to go on with whatever they were doing. Listen, call it old-fashioned thinking if you want to but if you want to avoid a lot of unnecessary regret in this life, hang out with your elders (and actually listen to what they are saying) sometimes — they’ve already been where you are and, since when it comes to them, you can’t say the same, you just might get a few gems (in fact, I can almost guarantee it).

Take sobergasms, for instance. Oh, I’m willing to bet that a senior in your life has mentioned them, just in another way, before. If you’ve never heard of the term, it’s actually a pretty good one because it means just what you think it does: SOBER ORGASMS. And just to make sure that we all are on the same page, it’s sex — that hopefully includes orgasms — that involves very little to no alcohol.
