Quantcast

At this point in the game, I've redirected my excitement for Christmas from the expectation of gifts to just enjoying the season and all that it offers.


(Christmas music's been bumping since late October. Just sayin'.)

Now, the few gifts that I do get are all things that will make adulting a smoother process on a daily basis. And you know what? The adult in me gets ecstatic when I open that new electric spiralizer (family, if you're reading this *wink, wink*). I could think of a million teeny-weeny things that would make incredible stocking stuffers, and since big chopping my hair this year, my whole wish list of hair products have, without hesitation, been added to the list of valuable stuffers that one could gift me via stocking.

However, if it's your generosity that's on ten and you think I deserve a little more than a couple travel sized Shea Moisture products plus a few sample size packets of Miss Jessie's in my little red bag, then you should maybe definitely keep reading to check out this list of fancy fly hair necessities that will make for a very hairy Christmas and an even happier new year.

Add these 8 luxe gifts to your wish list and hopefully someone who loves you will bless you:

Caramel Silk Pillowcase by Slip, $85.

Protecting our hairdo is king to the culture of black womanhood. We turn down shower sexin order to do so, we have sex with our scarves on and then wake up with a knot the size of an egg trying to make sure that our scarves are secured. You do all of this only to wake up and your scarf is sitting at the top of your pillow, sitting pretty and clearly opposed to serving its purpose. Well, with this amazingly silky satin pillowcase you can throw the whole scarf away (on days when you don't need it to hold a swoop in place, of course).

Slipsilk has been developed to perfection over a decade with the highest grade (6A) of mulberry silk, "with a thickness of 22 mome." Now, I don't know what that means but damn it I'm sold. Sleeping on this pillowcase feels like sleeping on a miniature bed of clouds and with my natural hair, I don't even need to wear a scarf.

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.
