    You are funny as hell!😂😂😂. I live for your edits. These were so many random thoughts popping all over your head and you spitting them out but the long and short of it I think is "edge control" 😂😂. Great advice right there at the end and I think it is very relevant to your last video/interview. Hopefully, the ladies can plug you in with the right stuff for your hair as often these products are available you just have to look a little deeper.

    Good analysis, on the bargain part, most people live below a dollar, yet the price of commodity increase, you might not fell it , because you do your conversation in dollars, which makes it look cheap. On the flip side life is all about positivity.

    Girl, you are so goofy 🤣🤣 The randomness is 💯! I totally get the edge control analogy. (I don’t believe I’ve seen anything like that for less than a dollar here…even the travel sizes are much more!). It really comes down to what’s most important. Possibly giving up my blueberry/soy milk smoothie made with a specific-brand-of-protein, or living an affordable, peaceful, better quality, of life. Would love to see a video on the reverse-culture shock after being gone for a year. Safe travels to you the kids and your King!🙏🏾

Just finding the right replacements take time. It’s good I’m boots on the ground so whenever you come I’ll just be like boom go here here and here! And that smoothie-of yours sounds bangin!!! Sheesh I’m so glad you picked up that edge control analogy 😂 i didn’t wanna lose y’all too much 😂 i can’t wait to travel back to the states to give y’all that reverse culture shock video it’s going to be something!

    Try Cerave for skin care routine, Garnier tends to have a bad reputation, so i've heard.
