Janelle Monáe, Don’t Judge Me
I DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS EXISTS
HOLY SHIT THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
I almost refreshed my dash a second ago. I almost refreshed my dash a second ago and missed this.
Munchkin Cat Pops Water Balloons
“But…but… it was there. And now it isn’t. WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?!”
So my thirteen year old brother always asks to use my video camera. And I never knew why. But today I opened iMovie for the first time in months and THIS IS WHAT I FOUND.
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
This is rich with content and drama
THE ANTICIPATION FOR THIS WAS UNREAL.
BRINGING THIS BACK
Pro-Tip
I know most people associate LUSH Cosmetics with white girls and bath bombs but products from this beautiful company have faded my scars and stretch marks, completely gotten rid of my acne, fixed my dry skin problems, thickened my eyelashes, laid my edges, made my hair grow like crazy… I can go on and on. I’ve actually never tried the bath bombs, but their skincare and haircare products work magic.
Fading Scars / Stretch Marks Organic Therapy Massage Bar
Extra Dry Skin King of Skin In-Shower Body Conditioner, Skin Drink Facial Moisturizer, Sultana of Soap Bar, Tender is the Night Massage Bar, Each’s a Peach Massage Bar
Acne Fresh Farmacy Solid Cleanser, Eau Roma Toning Water, Full of Grace Serum Bar
Thickening Lashes Eyes Right Mascara / Lash Milk
Edges R&B Hair Moisturizer (if you put this on your edges before wrapping your hair, they’ll be relaxer-straight when you wake up, lasts about 12 hours), Dirty Styling Cream (cream-based edge control with a matte finish, no more shiny or crunchy edges)
Hair Growth NEW! Shampoo Bar, Retread Hair Conditioner
I was asked to list the rest of the products I currently have in my possession, so here y’all go!
FACE / HAIR STUFF
Magical Moringa Facial Moisturizer Oh my lordy. Let me tell y'all about this stuff. It’s marketed as a moisturizer but I use it as a primer because when you put this on your face, it’s completely matte. Like completely. All day. And it will lock your makeup in place like no other. You can sweat in it, swim in it, whatever. Shit won’t budge. Ever.
Jason & the Argan Oil Shampoo Bar Amazing for volumizing. It made the three bundles in my head look more like five when I used this thing the first time, I kid you not. Also gives your hair a really natural shine. I only use it when I really need a volume boost, otherwise it’s just too much.
No Drought Dry Shampoo If you have a weave, you need this stuff. Period. A lot of times, the natural oils in our scalps (referring to my fellow black women here) are too heavy for Brazilian, Peruvian, etc hair, and so it’s easy for weave to get weighed down between washes. Shake this stuff in your hair, brush it out - bam, flow city.
Honey Trap Lip Balm My favorite lip balm, ever. Really improves the texture of your lips and seals in moisture. However, this is not for fixing chapped lips - use Ultrabalm for that first, and then this to prevent them from chapping again. Also, pro-tip, if you apply it before liquid lipstick, your lipstick won’t crease or dry out all day.
MASSAGE BARS
Strawberry Feels Forever Smells like fresh strawberries! Has a much thinner consistency than the other massage bars, so it can be used every day, like a solid lotion.
Soft Coeur Smells like chocolate and honey, and is ridiculously moisturizing. More heavy-duty than the other bars, so I like to only use this one on spots like my knees, heels, and elbows.
From Dusk til Dawn The shape of this one is amazing. It’s shaped like a cone, so it gives a deep massage when you’re using it. Definitely recommend if you have any sort of muscle pain.
SCRUBS
The Rough with the Smooth This stuff smells soooo good. Like cotton candy. I use it before I shave because it really does an amazing job at removing any dead skin and it doesn’t leave a residue, so it won’t clog your razor. However, it’s a sugar scrub, so it melts super quickly.
Ocean Salt This is a heavy-duty scrub. Really amazing if you have dry, flaky skin, and the healing properties of the salt are really great if you have acne. It’ll dry it up and heal it super quick.
Cup o’ Coffee Face & Body Mask I’m on my fourth jar of this already. The coffee beans are ground up just enough to give a deep, yet gentle scrub and the caffeine in the bar really does wake up your skin and make it look brighter. Great for the morning.
Buffy It smells like a vacation, that’s really the only way to describe it. It’s an exfoliant bar and body butter mixed together, so you rub it all over while you’re still in the shower, and then rinse the sand off. After, rub the oils in and pat dry. No need for lotion after because it seals in the moisture from your shower.
SHOWER GELS / JELLIES
Rose Jam Shower Gel Smells like roses and has a really bubbly lather. More cleansing than moisturizing. I like to use it before a more moisturizing soap because it’s great for removing dirt and oil from the skin.
The Olive Branch Shower Gel A long-time favorite of mine. Great for dry skin, as it has a really creamy lather versus a bubbly one. Also, the smell is very calming and lingers for a long time.
Needles & Pines Shower Jelly It’s a solid shower gel (consistency of jello), and it smells like Christmas trees! I like to store it in the fridge and use it when it’s hot outside, super cleansing and refreshing.
SOAPS:
Roses All the Way Personal favorite! Smells like roses & vanilla ice cream. Super moisturizing and so, so creamy. Definitely buy if you suffer from dry skin.
Yog Nog Very moisturizing and the scent lingers for a really long time. Smells like snickerdoodles and eggnog.
Bohemian Not at all creamy, as it’s an exfoliating soap. It’s great to use on dark spots like knees and armpits because the exfoliants soften the skin and the lemon juice evens out your skintone. Smells like lemons.
Karma Another favorite. It has a super thin consistency but is still very moisturizing, so it’s a good shaving soap because it won’t gunk up your razor. Smells like incense and patchouli.
Figs & Leaves Smells like dirt and grass, in a good way. Super cleansing. As in your skin will literally squeak after using it, so I recommend using an in-shower moisturizer like King of Skin after using it.
OTHER:
Atomic Toothy Tabs Solid toothpaste that you crush up in your mouth. It sounds weird but these things are phenomenal. They really leave your teeth squeaky clean, and are the sole reason my teeth are so white - I don’t use any whitening products. This particular kind smells like cloves and cinnamon.
Ultrabalm All Purpose Balm This stuff is amazing. It’s an all-over balm for rough spots. I use it in the winter time on my hands and lips, because they get dry. I also use it year round on my face where I get dry spots, as it doesn’t clog pores.
Silky Underwear Dusting Powder Another holy grail. If you could turn cocoa butter into a powder, this would be it. It’s not drying like baby powder, it’s more silky (it’s also talc-free). I use it between my legs to prevent chafing and under my boobs when it’s hot outside to prevent sweating.
This is actually so helpful because a lot of times I go into lush and I just end up getting pink things and things that smell good because I don’t know what other products are worth purchasing!
TALK TO PEOPLE. okay so I only worked there as a seasonal, but these overly polite, overly talkative salespeople have to do 3 demos an hour! SO if they ask if you want to try something, let them. They know what they’re doing and they will tell you everything you want to know about the product and what it will do for you.
The worst was when I had customers saying that they were just looking because they didnt know a thing about what they were looking at. A lot of the products look identical on the shelves, but they are all specifically tailored for different needs.
Fun facts:
86% of all products are vegan, the rest are vegetarian
everything is ethically sourced, including the charcoal which comes from recycled forest fires
Lush will cut ties with their suppliers if they dont treat their employees nicely enough
Lush saves 10% of their spending budget for emergencies, like when a well broke down in one of their suppliers companies over in Kenya and Lush found out they were lowering women into the well, that money didnt just go to repairing the well, but for getting them a second well as well.
Lush even makes perfume but the scents are about stories instead of smells. There’s a little booklet for each one. My favorites are Dear John (about the owner, Mark, not knowing who his dad was) and Dad’s Lemon Tree (which he made after meeting his dad)
Lush also makes makeup, although they are working on getting more pigments
Lush is 21 years old and in 57 countries!
Charity Pot is a lotion that is low scent as not to mix with your other scents, is a lot of cocoa butter, and 100% goes to grassroots charities, they dont even pay people to make it, that’s how good it is
If you bring in 5 black pots (wash them please, they are dishwasher safe) you can get a free fresh face mask
Lush is the inventor of the bathbomb and most of them have essential oils in them and cocoa butter, so they’re not just fun, but they’re actually really good for your skin
There is a Lush Facebook page but more importantly is that there are local Lush facebooks. You can ask them if something is in stock and they’ll get back to you as quickly as possible (the Alderwood location takes only a few hours)
Anything that looks like a big brick of product is sold by weight. Just ask and they will cut you off a piece to fit your budget
FREE SAMPLES. Feel free to ask. They do NOT want to sell you something that is not right for you
Everything is handmade with commercial kitchen like equipment. This is why things don’t always look the same, because the recipe changes and different people are making it. Leave room for error and basically Guenivere likes adding more pigment than Brendan does but Brendan makes seasonal stuff that’s fantastic. It’s not that it’s gone off or is poorly made. There’s a little sticker that shows you who made it and it also has the expiration date on it
It the ingredient list is both green and black, the green is for natural ingredients and black is for synthetic.
If you go in and they dont have something because it was a seasonal or it’s no longer being made, do not be sad. The same scent may be in another product but more importantly, you can still get it. THE LUSH KITCHEN puts out products that are no longer being made every night at midnight (UK though so time stuff). There’s exclusive merch on there too, including bags and aprons and shirts. Everything goes really really fast though so you have to be ON it.
reblogged to the wrong blog because it took 4 attempts to reblog at all!
this is…nice
My daughter worked at LUSH before college and just seriously…they are an amazing company with highly educated salespeople who want to help you find things that will make you feel, look and smell your best.

Y’know I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.
Last time I reblogged the money cat, I won two $100 gift cards at work.

I decided to make a masterpost of reasons why I believe Kurt Cobain didn’t kill himself. Feel free to add/discuss anything. (Most of this is about why I think Courtney Love might have played a part in his dearth)
Tom Grant, the private investigator Courtney Love had hired to help her find her “missing” husband, turned against Courtney herself.
When Courtney found out Grant was suspicious of her, she tried to keep him distracted, giving him other cases do study so he wouldn’t focus on Kurt’s death, and gave him way more money, hoping it would make him shut up and not go any further with this investigation.
Courtney claims Kurt had already written her a suicide letter before “killing himself”, saying it wasn’t fun to play anymore, and he was unsatisfied with Nirvana. But, of course, Courtney never showed that letter, claiming she had destroyed it.
Grant says Courtney’s behavior after Kurt’s death was suspicious, her husband had just been found dead and there was no sadness or mourning.
His body was cremated within 6 days, the public announcement of his suicide was given the day after he was found dead, so there was no time whatsoever for the police to study his case properly..
The woman next to Courtney in this picture, taken at the 1993 MTV VMAs, is called Rosemary Carroll, she was Courtney and Kurt’s attorney at the time. A few days after Kurt’s death, Grant went to her office and talked to her. She said the letter sounded and looked phony, and that Kurt was not suicidal, nor wrote it. Carroll was also Frances Cobain’s godmother.
A month before Kurt’s death, he was in Rome drinking, and Courtney suddenly showed up and they both started fighting, until Kurt told her he was leaving her. Within a few hours after that, Kurt was in a hospital. He had overdosed from Rohypnol, a benzodiazepine drug that is often used for date-rapes. Apparently, Kurt’s overdosed was caused by putting the drug in his drink. While this was going on, Courtney told Select Magazine: “If he thinks he can get away from me that easily, he can forget it. I’ll follow him through hell.” Grant believes Courtney was the one to put the drug in his drink, not calling the ambulance until she thought he was dead. In an interview with Courtney that happened a day before this happened, this was reported: “There is a box of Rohypnol on the big mahogany table in the middle of Courtney Love’s London hotel room. ‘Look, I know this is a controlled substance,’ she smiles as she washes back a rohypnol. ‘I got it from my doctor. It’s like Valium. […]”
She claims he wrote a suicide note before he “tried to kill himself” in Rome.
Courtney pushed Kurt to commit suicide by jumping off a hotel balcony during their stay in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
There were no “legible fingerprints” in the shotgun Kurt allegedly used to kill himself. There were also no fingerprints on the shotgun box, nor on the pen “Kurt” used to write his “suicide note”
Sgt. Cameron admitted 2 years later that there were no markings on Kurt’s hands indicating he had fired the weapon. “Yeah, there weren’t any marks on his hands…Some rookie must’ve put that line in the police report.” he said when speaking about the mistake in the police report. Tom Grantsays: “I can say with confidence that there were no marks on Cobain’s hands that would indicate he fired this weapon. I’ve had the police reports analyzed by other homicide detectives and criminalists. No one can figure out what these “marks” could have been. I can’t explain further at this time, but I can tell you the authorities will never claim the marks were GS residue or soot. Some of the additional evidence I’ve obtained regarding these so-called “marks” cannot be disclosed until the case is reopened. If the Seattle authorities ever care to describe the “marks” in detail, I’ll come forward with additional evidence that will prove those so—called “marks” did not really exist.” (taken from JusticeForKurt)
Kurt took 3x the lethal dose of heroin before “killing himself”, which means he would never be able to do such thing, not even if he wanted to. Only 1/3 of that amount would’ve put him in a coma in seconds, let alone 3 times that. “It’s hard to believe that Cobain injected himself with an insanetriple lethal dose of heroin, pulled the needle out of his arm, carefully put away that needle and the heroin paraphernalia neatly back into a cigar box a few feet away, rolled down and button his sleeves, then picked up a Remington 20-gauge shotgun, placed it in his mouth and discharged it.” Also, why would Kurt still wanna shoot himself after taking a dose that would’ve already killed him?
Valium was also found in Kurt’s system. Valium is a benzodiazepine, and is known to aggravate the heroin high, and also to make you sleepy.
Courtney was in LA during the week Kurt was “missing”, and when she was asked to go back to Seattle to help find her husband, she said she couldn’t because she said she had “business in LA.” Again, Courtney’s attorney, Rosemary Carroll, said she had no business in LA whatsoever.
Eldon Hoke, a singer from a band called “The Mentors”, claims Courtney offered him $50,000 to kill her husband, three months before his death.
Kurt’s friends said he preparing to leave Seattle to join friends on the East coast. Kurt apparently had made plans to see one of his favorite bands who were touring the East coast at the time. He also made plans with his grandfather, Leland Cobain, to go fishing. Michael Stipe, of R.E.M., says Kurt was going to visit him to work on music. They had struck up a friendship and planned to record something together. Why would someone that is about to commit suicide make these types of plans?
Again, feel free to add anything or discuss about anything you don’t agree with.

Reblog and you’ll find money soon!
Yes.
Also weird I reblobbed the other money one last night and a freelance check I invoiced for a month ago came in.
reblobbed
seriously have nothing to lose
Did it once might as well let it stack. At least I’m not buying loto tickets
You guys, I reblogged this 2 days ago out of desperation. Today I was looking through my old wallet for coins to go to the vending machine because that’s all I can fucking afford. I haven’t touched this thing since July/ August. When I found a disappointing 15 cents in the coin pocket I went to the billfold to see if any coins were in there. That’s when I saw them. 5 crisp bills amounting to $22. I literally screamed and danced around my room out of joy before remembering that I’d reblogged this post.
Tl;dr - This post is fucking magical and actually worked for me.
I’m broke as fuck. Money gods pls send me like 100k.
I never reblog these, let’s give it a shot. BIG MONEY, BIG MONEY
I reblogged this last week and withing an hour I got a client after a month of silence! Literally gave me money to eat for the rest of the month.
Crazy enough but my mom randomly gave me 200 dollars after I reblogged one of these the other day…
Reblobbed.
I have a theory that these posts actually gather energy from the wishes of people who reblog them and that’s why they work. Plus, yanno, they get passed around by witches…a lot. :)
Wish you all great luck with your finances.🙏🏾

And I can’t fucking breathe anymore. My heart hurts and my head is cloudy. And I haven’t done any homework in three weeks. I’m as good as dead. You were my reason for getting out of bed and I can’t do this.
Here’s a harsh fact: the boy who only says you’re beautiful when you shed your clothes isn’t going to be there for you when your hard exterior crumbles.
Pierce the Veil || Caraphernelia Acoustic
oh my fUCK I CAN’T IT’S PERFECT
when he says throat omg tears
This version has always been my favorite because I feel like you can hear the raw emotion in his voice. I know this song has a lot of personal meaning to him and you can hear that so much in this.
