Source: Courtesy of East Africa Yacht Week / EastAfricaYachtWeek.com Yacht week trips are becoming increasingly more popular. Whether it’s a Instagram-worthy, bathing suit coordinated trip you are taking with your girlfriends or a private excursion with your boo, there are some things you need to know when you are going on a yacht for an extended period of time. We caught up with Yacht Week East Africa Founder, Kelsy Horton who shared the 5 things you must know if you’ve never been on a yacht! Keep on reading for more information. PACK LIGHT Source: Vladimir Vladimirov / Getty This is not the time to bring four suitcases and honestly, you are on a yacht. Who needs that? It’s all about your swimsuits, coverups, and outfits for the evening. Horton explained, “You don’t have as much space as you have when you’re at home, so pack light and get ready to bond with your boatmates!” DON’T BE THE GIRL THAT PUKES Source: Terry Vine / Getty Horton shares, “It can take some time to get used to being on the water; have some Dramamine ($3.99, target.com ) ready just in case you need it.” You can also be well rested before your trip and if you feel nauseous, get some fresh air! You can also wear an acupressure wristband ($6.10, amazon.com ) if you don’t want to take pills due to pregnancy or any other reason. YOUR TOILET IS FOR TWO THINGS Source: Mint Images / Getty Horton instructs, “Don’t put foreign objects down your toilet. A clogged toilet on a boat isn’t a good look.” Enough said. But in case: yes, ladies, this includes your tampons. LET THE BOAT BREATHE Source: milan2099 / Getty Air circulation is important on the high seas! Horton says, “Be sure to use your cabin and bathroom hatches for proper ventilation.” No one wants to smell your dinner and it’s nice to let some of the sea air in the cabin. DECORATE Source: Courtesy of East Africa Yacht Week / EastAfricaYachtWeek.com Horton encourages to “make the yacht your home!” After all, whether you are there for a few days, a week, or even longer, it’s your boat, Beyoncé! “Decorate. Fly your flag. Find your happy place on the yacht: there’s your cabin, the galley area, the trampoline in front of the yacht, and chill spaces in the the back of the yacht.” No matter where you choose, you’ll be sure to be able to relax, recharge, and most importantly, have fun! Have you ever been sailing before? Share your best yacht tips with us in the comment section.

Florida Crazies: Jacksonville Girl Licks Tongue Depressor At Doctor’s Office And Puts It Back, Mother Posts To Snapchat, Gets Death Threats

Posted on July 11, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY / Getty Daughter Licks Tongue Depressor, Mother Posts Video On Snapchat We hope all y’all disgusting bastards and bishes go directly to jail and do not collect $200 for all this lickin’ y’all doing. According to News4Jax , a girl and her mother got in on the latest disgusting internet craze during a trip to the doctor’s office, the absolute last place you would want to wantonly lick things, but we digress. While waiting to be seen at the All About Kids and Families Medical Center, the girl’s mother whipped out her cell phone to record her daughter licking a tongue depressor then putting back in the container for some unsuspecting person to use. Not only did this piss-poor excuse for a mother record the germy viral ritual, but she also posted the clip to her Snapchat page. The video was spread far and wide around the internet and the mother, who asked not to be identified, said she has been receiving death threats. News4Jax asked why she recorded it. She responded, “I had just been waiting a long time. I was just being silly with my kids.” Her soon-to-be-ex-husband said he was horrified when he realized the girl in the video was his daughter. “My mouth hit the floor. I was completely surprised and shocked that she would even put something like that out there to be seen,” the father said. “I’m very embarrassed. That is not how I want my children raised or brought up.” Here’s what the medical center had to say about the incident: “We were notified yesterday a patient had violated our trust with behavior that is inconsistent with the practices and standards that we uphold and expect at our facility. “Upon notification of this isolated incident, we contacted law enforcement to request a full and thorough investigation. In addition, we immediately removed all materials and containers from the specific exam room and re-sanitized our entire facility. Our internal investigation does not reveal any resulting risks or harm to patients from this action. “This type of behavior is not tolerated at All About Kids and Families Medical Center. Each year, we serve thousands of patients, and providing quality care and ensuring their safety is our top priority.” Send. These. Hoes. To. JAIL.

Adrienne Bailon Talks Making Her Man Shed Tears In The Sack

Posted on July 11, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Paul Archuleta / Getty This week on “The Real,” the ladies spoke about a topic that comes up quite often on the show. Good sex. Jeannie was saying that she really appreciates the way men open up conversationally after they’ve been physically, sexually satisfied. In response, Adrienne Bailon wondered if any of the other ladies had experienced a man being so emotionally overcome that he shed tears. Jeannie : When a man is in bed with you and he’s happy and he’s satisfied, he opens up and there’s thing and you get to talk to him about things where he’s not trying so hard. He’s just being him. Adrienne : Anybody ever cried after? I love that. That’s bomb. Tamera : Oh, the guys cries? Adrienne : They’re just overwhelmed with how much they love you, or how they feel about you or how bomb you were. They’re just like, sniffles. ‘That was amazing. God is good.’ This is going to get weird. Have you ever seen the movie Stella Got Her Groove Back and she’s in the shower and she sheds a tear. Has that ever happened to you? Tamera : Cuz it was so good…Yeah. Adrienne : I can’t be the only one. It’s not like [sob] literally a tear just comes out of your eye. I don’t even know how it happens. Jeannie : I don’t know if I cry. Because in that moment and it’s so good and you’re happy it’s like, ‘Yes Hunnay!’ Adrienne : You’ve never been so tense where just one tear.. it’s not like an intentional…it’s not emotional. Jeannie : No, no. Adrienne : I pray that upon your life. I really do.   Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). The story blew up because you know, sex is salacious and we often don’t think about men connecting to sex emotionally. But according to several sources, it’s a normal occurrence. And the reasons for the tears are varied. According to Healthline.com , tears during or after sex are quite common. They could be tears of joy, relief, melancholy, or they could be—as Adrienne stated— a purely physical reaction. You can be overcome by your emotions and the physical release, coupled with the emotions you feel for that person could result in tears. maybe you’re grateful for the physical sensations you’ve just experienced. I think we underestimate how big of a role human touch plays in our lives. Then there’s the reverse where feelings of uncertainty, instability or regret can result in not so happy tears.

Symptoms include tearfulness, sadness and irritability after consensual sex. The tears could be the result of painful sex, anxiety about the relationship or the act, and triggers from past trauma, depression, and even the drastic shift in hormonal changes being so sharp, it produces tears. Have you ever cried during sex? Have you ever made or seen a man cry after the deed is done?

Taraji P. Henson Unveils Her Natural Hair, Reveals Plans To Launch Haircare Brand [PHOTO]

Posted on July 11, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

See the original post:

Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty Just two years ago, Taraji P. Henson debuted a new, short and chic ‘do . She chopped her hair off in June of 2017 and said she wouldn’t be putting anymore unnecessary heat on it: “ I’m not straightening my hair again .” Soon after though, she put the short cut away and opted for an array of protective styles, from braids to detachable ponytails and wigs. Just yesterday, she showed off the results of all her protective efforts, sharing an image of the current state of her natural hair. We must say, it’s grown considerably since we last saw it. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). “All natural and I f–kin’ love it,” she wrote: View this post on Instagram All naTUral and I fuckin LOVE IT!!! can’t WAIT to share my hair care system with you #TPHBeauty coming VERY SOON!!! A post shared by taraji p henson (@tarajiphenson) on Jul 10, 2019 at 3:54pm PDT   After seeing her hair now at bob length in such a short time, we were thirsty for her secret. Aside from money, a good stylist, and likely genetics, it’s probably good products. Thankfully, we’re going to be able to get our hands on the types of products that work for her, because the 48-year-old revealed that she’ll soon be launching a hair care line. “I can’t wait to share my hair care system with you,” she wrote. “#TPHBeauty coming VERY SOON!!!” Her hair has come a mighty long way. Taraji chose to give her hair natural hair a chance to be free from processing and straightening and the impact has not only been on the length of her strands, but the way she sees her crown. “[Black women] have shame when it comes to our hair,” she told the Huffington Post soon after cutting her hair off. “What we’ve been told, ‘Your hair is nappy.’ It’s not nappy, it’s curly. That’s a curl, that’s a coil. That’s energy leading up and I was like, we need to convey that message because I see a lot of girls, natural, is it for fashion or do you really understand what that is? It is a crown that God gave you. Our hair defies gravity without any products. Do you know how powerful that is? That’s powerful.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!
