Taking Erik To The Beauty Supply Store 2 / Barber Shop With Erik

Erik Killmonger x Black Reader

Warnings : mature/sexual conversations?

it's a regular day in the stevens household. going to the beauty supply store again & the barber shop but hey it's fun cause it's you and your man.

First taking Erik to the beauty supply store fic:

“I could beat the brake off her lying ass. First of all, I should’ve known something was up cause she asked me if I’m natural. I said yes. She said well I normally do relaxed hair.. Then said you got to have your hair washed and blow dried already… Talking about she was going to have me serving 90s Nia Long. This bitch got me looking like big momma when she came home for that motherfucking party.” You continue your rant as Erik moves around the room looking for your body butter and your fluffy shoes to put on for the day.

You wanted a cute 90s pixie cut to go along with the theme of the maternity shoot which was like the cheesy 90s mall style set with the faded backdrop.

180 dollars and a lopsided , almost a golden bob later and you are still thinking about snatching her out of that salon.

“I’m gonna try and trim it up myself and dye it before the maternity photos tomorrow. But I’mma get two wigs just in case I mess up.” You explain to Erik as he begins to spread the body butter up your legs leaving a golden glow on your skin.

“Not you down there cackling after getting some hang time on the locs you been growing since high school... It’s quiet, ain't no back talk.” You banter with him and he stops massaging your legs to give you a look and laughs softly before giving you a retort of his own.

“You got a lot to say for somebody that can’t even lotion they ashy lil knees.”

“Your daughter been pushing against my organs for 8 and a half months. I don’t wanna hear nothing unless its about my push present. You know that I like rings… My engagement ring looking reeeealll lonely.” you say to him as you dangle your hand in front of his face.

“You look so fucking good today baby… Say, Big Fine, lemme get your number… I’mma eat the f-” he trails off kissing your legs and letting his tongue trail up it and you grab his chin softly.

“Boy if you don’t come on before you be late for your appointment… Can I stop and get a blue raspberry slushie first though?” you ask him and he sighs softly before giving you a small smile and nodding.

“Yeah, hold on let me grab your shoes and purse and then we can go.”

“And obviously yes when we come back before I install that lace front you can beat, duh.” you reply to him before giving him a peck to his lips.

After he grabs everything and helps you down the stairs. And with his help of putting you into his big ass truck you two are on your way.

“We’re going to get my hair cut first cause I already know you’re going to want to go to 2 different stores and it’s only gon’ take him about 15 minutes at the most to line me up.”

He wasn’t lying with the way that you liked to scan every section of the store before you left because to be honest where else were you going to get a pair of skittle shorts, bomb ass lip glosses, and a cute little panda hand sanitizer holder all in one place?

“Okay, sounds like a plan.. The way that I was supposed to have a hot girl summer this year and ended up with a damn its too hot for me to even put my clothes on mom summer. You really were not playing about trying to start a family on your birthday.” you joke as you crunch on your goldfish and look over at Erik.

“I think you just got finer through this whole thing. Watching my baby grow my baby is something surreal. In the beginning watching you go through all of the morning sickness and the body aches and stuff. I felt so bad you know not being able to physically take on all that was going on with you. I aint gon’ never not be appreciative and awe of you.” Erik replies with a serious comment that you were not expecting and you’d be damned if the hormones aren’t doing their thing.

“I really did not expect you to say that. Baabbbee, come on. You know I cry about everything right now. Love you.” you lean over to wrap your arms around him gently and kiss the side of his face while he’s focusing on the road.

“I love you too…. I think I’mma get my locs cut off soon. I don’t know why I’m ready to get a fade and just call it a day.” he questions before looking over at you briefly

“Either way you still gonna look good. I knew you before you even got your locs so you’re gonna look even better now because you grew into your head. Dee be cutting the fuck outta your hair even though he been bald for a good 40 years.” you say and it causes Erik to let out a loud laugh and shake his head.

You eventually ended up ordering a blue raspberry lemonade slushie, a hotdog and fries because Sonic basically took all of Erik's money at this point in your pregnancy.

The rest of your ride was chill as you both swayed to the music or turned it down for a little chat every now and then.

In public was always very protective of you but especially since becoming pregnant he has been hovering over you like a lion waiting for someone to even look at you for too long.

He hops out of the sleek matte black truck first to help you out and sling his arm around your waist with a hand resting on your belly.

You feel some eyes on you as you walk through the door. Your multi-coloured sundress that showcased your back, flowing with you.

Some of the men, new to the shop you assumed, were eyeing you down before Erik looked over their way and nods at them and they pretended to check their phones.

“What's up E? Damn lil sis look like she’s about to pop! How you feeling baby girl?” Dee greets you and Erik as you both walk in and some of the regulars in there say hey to the both of you.

“I’m alright Dee. Baby is just really ready to see the world. She has been kicking up a storm at times. I think we might have a little athlete here.” you reply and you watch as the greyed man with freckles across his cheeks and bridge of his nose eyes crinkle as he finishes cutting the man's hair sitting in the chair.

“I remember when I became a father for the first time. Shits wild because you think that you know everything there is to know and then when you actually see your baby take that first breath. It’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced before.” He continues as he shows you a photo of his 4 children and you give him a small smile.

“Ooh, they’re beautiful.” you compliment him as you settle into your seat and scroll on your phone on your phone waiting for Erik to be next.

Some time went by and the men seemed like they were trying to keep their conversation in a hush and you can see some eyes on you as they talked back and forth.

“I’m just saying if you want a threesome with your girl and you expect her to be okay with letting another woman into her bed. You need to match her energy. Could you imagine your girl asking you to bring a whole nother man into your room if that’s not what you’re into? Instead of asking for it. Maybe try bringing toys into the situation. Could spice it up a notch and be in both of your comfort zones. Personally, couples vibrators seem to do the trick just fine.” You advise as you look up from scrolling on your Pinterest feed.

The little huddle of them in front of you stopped talking and immediately looked up at you in silence before Dee’s laugh broke it.

“I don’t know about bringing another man in. That ain't my thing but I get what you're saying. Which ones would you recommend?” The one named Leron asked and you notice Erik is now paying attention , looking from you to them to make sure they stay respectful.

“You better let them know , baby girl! That’s how that baby popped into fruition. She got you with the tantric breathing, huh E?” he jokes and Erik cracks into a smile, his golds gleaming as he looks at you.

“She not wrong. Engage in what your woman like too. Yoga, talking during sex, giving as much as you receive from her, all that. ” He says casually and shrugging and you give him a small smile cause this man done come so far from when you met him.

After he finishes lining up his beard, Erik pays and you’re on your way to one of your favourite places.

“You look so sexy. Your beard is all lined up crisp and stuff. I told you that beard oil was gonna even it out.” you say to him and kiss him below his ear . His hand gripped your thigh gently and you repeated it again.

It didn’t take long before you were at one of your favourite places.

You turned to Erik and asked him to buy a stocking cap for you to try on the wigs that you liked and wanted to see before you purchased it.

You slid on the stocking cap over your hair before grabbing a cute little 27 piece pixie cut wig just to try it on and see what it was giving . You finger combed it and turned to Erik to ask him how it looks.

“Like you finna start singing “Truth is i’m tired. Take me to the king. Here’s my offering-” .” You hold in your laugh as you push Erik’s chest and he grabs your hands.

“I can’t stand your ass !” You say cracking up and Erik grabs the stocking cap from his pocket that he brought himself and slides it over his locs.

You watch as he grabs one of the bobs from the mannequin and sits it half cocked on his head before shaking it side to side.

“What’s cooler than being cool? Ice cold. You know what to do doooo. You know what to doooo.... This is your grand daddy. This is your grand daddy.” Erik starts acting like Andre 3000 and Mr. Brown. You swear this man was gonna make you push out this baby with how hard you were laughing at him.

“Why are you moving your lips like thaaat? What’s your name? B.O.B, so they calling you Bob? Stop playing nigga you know that I’m known for the bob.” you sing the nicki minaj lyrics to him and both of y’all get a good laugh before he takes off the wig and places it carefully back on the mannequin.

He looks over at the one that looked the most like your hair before you got it cut and slides it on.

His expressions changed and he narrowed his eyes at you before putting his hand on his stomach.

“Whew, my god E. You did this to me and for what? My ankles looking like cornbread huh? Look at this shit bae! If my nose swells for real in these next months, we fighting. Damn, I’m getting thick. I look like I'm pregnant in the front and the back. Can you get me two shrimp po’boys and some fries on the way home? ERIK, wake up- You our baby look like Stitch in this ultrasound? Stop playing , im for real.” he sounds exactly like you and mimicked your expressions to a t.

You giggled softly and snatched his wig off leaving him standing there looking crazy in the cap.

“You wanna fight?” You ask him before walking up on him like you’re on bad girls club and swinging the wig at him.

He helped you put the wig back on the mannequin and kissed both of your hands before continuing through the aisle with you.

You both ignored how many times the employee passed by or watched you as you grabbed some of the products from the shelf and put it into your little cart that you wanted to try.

“You wish this was you, huh? You wanted to be Future from 8 Mile so bad, huh? ” you ask Erik , laughing as you point to the full lace faux locs wig that’s in front of you and he shakes his head.

“She got you down bad. This you?” he asks you as he points to the lil gold church wig that’s sitting on the top shelf and you suck your teeth at him .

“You wanna dip dye your hair for tomorrow? A pretty auburn colour would look so good on you or even a baby blue?” You ask him as you move away from the wigs after deciding to put a off black lace front straight wig in your cart and another in sandy blonde with deep waves.

You scan the shelf of dye as Erik wraps his arm around your waist and takes a look.

“This one looks good right here.” He adds as he hands you a colour called Electric Blue.

“This is gonna look so good on you bae.” You compliment him and he leans down to kiss you softly.

“You only tryna compliment me cause you want me to help you install that wig. You think you slick bae.” he calls as he walks off towards the hair care products for his locs.

“Well, if I’m finna use the little energy I have to retwist your hair you could at least extend the helping hand!” You call after him.

“I haven’t tried peppermint oil yet but it should be good to add to my mix? Look, I found this small ass bonnet. She’s gonna be able to match us.” He says walking back to you and showing you the lilac bonnet in his hand and you swear you were about to tear up again cause all 3 of you were gonna have matching bonnets and durag.

“If she takes after both of us she’s gonna have a head full of hair. To cover that melon from your side.” You tease him

“Come on and grab your butterfly wings for your eyes so we can go home and finish our show. I’mma cook them snow crabs for you too.” he says to you and you can see him watching you like you hung the moon in the sky yourself as you venture off.

You grabbed the edge control, lashes, a new lipstick, earrings, glosses, Got2b spray, and some accessories for Erik’s hair before meeting him at the counter.

It took him all of two seconds to pay for your beauty supply store addiction and you were off on your way back to the crib to love on him.

Erik was currently standing behind you while you sat in the chair in his old large tshirt and held down the wig to the Ghost Bond glue.

You were talking him through helping you finish the install because you just didn't have the energy to do it.

“Okay you gon’ take a lil piece and wrap it around the wand. But please be careful baby. This one goes from like 0 to a 400 degrees so fast.” you warn and watch in the mirror as he takes the first piece and follows your instructions.

You watch him for a while focusing on your head and asking if you liked the way that it’s turning out. You smile softly at him and nod.

“I'm so grateful , you know. “ you say to him with a pout

“Damn, I was just about to send you a do you like me back yes or no text after this too.” he jokes and you shake your head.

“I’m tryna be serious and appreciate you-” you are cut off by him leaning down and pushing his plump lips out for a kiss from you

“I love you too. 2 more weeks and I get to have my two babies in my arms. What more could I want? ”

Unlikely post Hogwarts career for Harry

Harry pulls the hair back, gently slicing the scissors through the woman’s blond locks, making sure to keep them even. He tugs his comb through it as pieces fall away to the ground where a pile has started to grow ever since she took a seat before him.

He is happy she let him pick the hairstyle that would best fit her oval face because the cut she came in was nice but it wasn’t right. It didn’t fit her personality, her face, her sense of self. 

Harry knew most people didn’t care but he can’t even began to explain just how much it helps to have a way to present oneself as they are. He spent his whole childhood having to suppress different ways of self-expression, his uncle and aunt making him so uncomfortable in his skin simply because he was born in it.

He remembers the way he cried so hard he couldn’t breathe when his aunt forced a haircut on him because it had felt like the one thing that belonged to Harry- his mess of wild waving hair- was gone. The clothes he wore as a kid weren’t his, they were Dudley’s castaways. The glasses he used weren’t his, they were the ones his uncle pulled from a drug store’s bin. The ruin and callous hands weren’t his, they were the Dursley’s personal butler's main tool. 

But his hair, that was all Harry’s. Untamable, unbreaking, and unchanging. Wrong to those in that house, in that street, but right to him. His magic gave it back to him the next morning and while he had not known how at the time, little Harry had never felt such a large burst of hope that things could get better. 

He never told anyone, but that was the memory he used to power his first successful Patronus. The feeling of his hair resting over his eyes after falling asleep with an ache in his heart like something had carved it out when his aunt left those horrific bangs. 

After the war, he tried to be an Auror but he was tired of fighting. He’s been fighting all through his Hogwarts career, sometimes it felt he been fighting his whole life. The idea of spending the rest of his life in a similar matter drove him to the bottles until a worried Ron pulled him back from the void.  He quite after a few months of training. 

Harry then tried teaching, Headmistress McGonagall eagerly offering him the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts. He thought it would be a good fit, for he had greatly enjoyed leading the DA in the fifth year. He had not been expecting the memories of the worst parts of that year to attack him during his first lesson. 

He had not expected the memories of those he taught in the DA assaulting him with such forcefulness causing him to break down in tears before the frightened class because he knows that some of those kids in those meetings had not survived the war. Colin Creevey one face among them. (He did that. He led them to their deaths)

Headmistress McGonagall wasn’t surprised to see his resignation before Yule.

For a while, Harry drifted feeling raw, empty, purposeless. He broke up with Ginny feeling like he jumped into a relationship he wasn’t ready for (she had understood though he could see he had shattered her heart), he stops going to Diagon Alley where crowds cheer for him as if though he hadn’t gotten so many killed, he couldn’t find a place that felt right to him and his friends all worried about him.

It had been rough for a long time. Hermione and Ron invited themselves to live with him, both aware that if they left alone too long Harry would do something irrational. It ate him up with guilt. They already gave up so many years making sure he was okay, they didn’t have to give up more just because he couldn’t take control of his life for once.

One day, Harry had felt so anxious and wrong in his own flat, he had gone on a walk, his two best friends busy in the kitchen to see him leave. He walked and walk until his feet ached and he found himself in a busy muggle street. 

That’s where he saw it. A tucked-away little beauty salon, it’s front windows large enough to see the hairstylist work away on a man. Harry had stood before the window watching her hands fly with practice ease, the way she moved with a grace he would see in a successful duelist, and the smile on her face as she cut the hair into something wonderful made him yearn.

His eyes landed on the “HELP WANTED” sign a second later.

He pushed open the door, walking straight to the woman with electric blue hair, the hairstylist he watched finish up the cut, and asked for an application. Her name was Marina, and she took him under her wing, teaching him everything she knew. 

He couldn’t thank her enough for it, because Harry had known nothing about hairstyling when he applied but her hiring him had saved his life. She became something like an older sister despite being a good ten years older. Marina started him on cleaning and greeting, but after closing would sit him down before some wigs and teach him how to cut properly. 

She forced him to go to Beauty School because “You have a talent Mijo. A passion. Chase it.” 

So he did. He studied all of it from cuts to products to make up to even clothes. Harry loved it. He worked for Marina until she had to close up shop after seven years together and move back to Mexico to take care of her aging mother. She sold the place to him after a tearful goodbye, but Harry wanted more, and with his untouched gold he bought the whole building. 

He knocked down the walls, he added bright windows to never be enclosed again in a tight place, he bought all the best products out there, he ordered clothes to sell, a way to help people find their style in a judgeless free zone and he opened the doors to Rebellious Cuts feeling for once in his life truly at peace. 

The top of the building had been turned into his own flat, moving out of Ron’s and Hermione’s place after the two announced their first child on the way and he didn’t felt alone up there. He felt like he was home, happy to make a space just for him.

His friends all celebrated with him, throwing his twenty-fifth birthday party a week after his big opening day within his beauty saloon and Harry had actually cried a little when they told him how proud they were of him finding his life calling.

He had feared they would be disappointed in the choice he made. 

Now here he was in present-day cutting through Mrs. Sterrly blond hair humming to the song on the speakers as he gives her a cute pixie cut that has her gushing when he’s done.  He caters to both muggles and magicals so he knows the change in fashion on both sides, taking inspiration from both to create a unique cut each time. 

  He had hired some employees as well, a full staff of eight people each in charge of different areas- all of them being somehow connected to wizard world so he didn’t have to hide anything- but Harry prides himself in being a fun boss. His salon is a business, yes, but it’s also a shelter for those who need it. He doesn’t require any uniforms- as long as the clothes don’t have any inappropriate styles or markings- other than an apron around the waist for their supplies, he gives paid time off that they can earn every paycheck and he helps pay for their schooling if they need it. 

He brings food for them to snack on, made sure the break room was fully stocked for use, and had even included mental health days they could take because heavens know sometimes Harry really needs them himself. The war left more scars than he is willing to admit. 

Not like he needs the money, he’s already rich.

The door dings as another person come and Harry turns to them with a smile. “Welcome to Rebellious Cuts! We’ll be with you in just a moment.”

“What is going on?” My uncle bellowed through the shop.

“Your barista or whatever the fucking hell you call her is a damn traitor who dresses up as a guy and plays in a rock n’ roll band on the strip” Betsie shouted at my uncle. I felt every customer in the shot starting at me. Fuck.

He then quickly turned towards me, as if I had a logical straight forward answer.

What was I supposed to say? Yes uncle, I dress up as a guy and perform in a rock band on the other side of town? He was rather clear only a couple minutes ago that he wasn’t a huge fan of me being in a band, and Betsie storming in looking to start a fight wasn’t helping the cause. I call bullshit on anyone who says the truth will set you free. The truth would only burry me deeper in the grave I already dug for myself.

“I don’t know what she is talking about. She must be high on coke or some shit. She...is crazy!” I shouted at my uncle as I walked out in front of him.

“Lying bitch! You and your band think that you can just bring strippers on stage, and no one would miss my band? You know what you’re fucking saying right? What message you’re sending to the strip? By replacing us with strippers? That that’s all we Pixie was! That people only came to our shows for our looks. Do you think that people only came to see my band, may I remind you that is was also your former band that you were apart of, because we are a bunch of chicks? Is that what you think all female musicians are? Just something nice to look at? Well say something your treacherous bitch!” She howled across the counter. I remained frozen, not only motionless, but speechless. Strippers? We were going to have stripper on the stage?

“I have no idea what you are talking about,” I shouted back losing all composure I had before.

“Ohh really Michelle? Then explain to me why the bar manager told Cindy that we weren’t playing because Guns N’ Roses, apparently a ‘far better band’ according to the manager, would be bringing strippers, so the clientele wouldn’t care. Our. Fans. Wouldn’t. Care. As long as there were chicks dancing on stage our fans wouldn’t mind,” she snarled making sure to put air quotes when she said far better band. I didn’t notice how quiet the shop was until she stopped talking. I took a quick look around, the shop when I noticed it was quickly empty. My uncle must have escorted the customers out.

“Have you ever thought that maybe Guns N’ Roses got the gig because we are better than Pixie? You guys flat lined. You were playing the same songs and going nowhere! I tried to save Pixie before you kicked me out. Looks like I avoided being apart of the shipwreck,” I shot back. Big fucking mistake.

Before I could blink, she pushed past Derek and launched herself at me. I didn’t have time to process what was going on. I felt like a rag doll as everything blurred in front of me. It wasn’t until she slammed me against the counter that every thing came back into focus. I tried pushing Betsie off, but she was too strong. I had absolutely no leverage from my position. I was fucked.

As I continued to flail like a fish trying to get her off of me while she screamed profanities, Derek swooped in pulled her off of me. I remained frozen on the counter watching as Betsie tried to kick Derker in hopes of escaping his grip.

The doors to the coffee shop flew open. I was glued to the counter when I turned to see a police officer burst through the doors. The room went quiet, the only sound that filled the room was Betsie panting.

Fuck.

I let one last scream escape me as I felt Betsi throw me against the ground. My mind was too busy trying to comprehend how she escaped Derek’s grip to even take in the chaos that had erupted around me.

Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion as I looked over towards Betsie. I tried to listen to what the cop was saying, but his worlds sounded distorted like a bowl of alphabet soup. I took another deep breath feeling a sharp pain in my chest. Fuck, she must have bruised something when she threw me to the ground.

I looked down at my white apron that was painted red. Fuck..was that...was that my blood. Subconsciously I felt my hand cover my mouth to hide a gasp when I felt something trickling onto it. The liquid felt like a waterfall as i watched the liquid paint my hand red.

I looked over towards my cousin Kendal to only receive a disapproving glare. I froze as I saw a piece of blond hair out of the corner of my eye. Where the fuck was my wig? My question was quickly answered when I looked up at my uncle. I couldn’t take my eyes off of the brown wig he had gripped in his hands.

I squinted as I tried to understand what he was shouting, but I couldn’t read his lips.

I felt someone place their hand on the small of my back and squat down next to me. I turned to see Izzy as he tried saying something, but just like everyone else, I couldn’t hear him. I could feel him pulling at my arm, and I turned towards Derek who remained frozen. Fear plastered across his features. I felt a ringing return to my ears and turned towards where I heard the sound come from.

“Get out, you’re done,” I nodded at him and turned towards Kendal who wore an expression that mirrored the one on Derek’s face.

“Uh...yeah...I’ll umm..I should..go,” I felt Izzy catch me as my right leg gave out below me.

I would like to say that I walked out of the coffee shop, but I knew Izzy held most of my weight.

“My wig Izzy, I need to go get my wig,” I muttered as I rested my head on his shoulder as we walked.

“We can get the wig another time,” I nodded, but deep down I knew I was’t getting my wig back.

“Was I....was I fired?” I felt useless as we continued to walk towards....actually I had no idea where we were heading.

“Yes,” I nodded at his response as I tried to process what had happened.

“Michelle, we have to keep walking. The sooner we get to my truck the better. I don’t want to have to deal with more cops today,” Izzy grunted as he helped me get into his truck.

“At least Your truck is red, so I can’t bleed all over it,” I giggled once I was inside his truck.

I jumped when Izzy’s laugh filled the car when he got it.

“Shelly, the exterior of my car is red, not the interior,” I looked around the car, and I felt my eyes practically shoot out of my head. Fuck he was right.

“Here, tilt your head forward, and place this underneath it to catch the blood. If my car every gets searched, I don’t want them thinking a murdered some chick in the front seat,” he offered me a kind smile and handed me his shirt. Which begged the question of when did he even take his shirt off.

“How hard did she even hit you?”

“By the fact that I confused the colors of the interior and exterior of your truck I’ll go very hard,” I kept my head down buried in his shirt, but I could still hear him chuckle at my response.

“WAIT...who is Shelly?” I lightly tilted my head up to see a rather confused Izzy looking at me as we sat at the red light. I knew that I went by Michelle and Duff, but FUCK I had a third name? Was Shelly some kind of stripper? I could barely handle being two people, how the fuck could I be three???

I heard a sigh escape Izzy, “it’s called a nickname. Michelle....Shell...Shelly” His tone remained lifeless as he explained my new nickname.

We sat in silence for the rest of the ride towards wherever the fuck we were going. He focused on what I assumed to be the road, and I focused on keeping my nose leaned forward in his sweaty shirt. I looked up once so felt the truck stop.

“Take off the apron, and put on this sweatshirt,” I sent him a confused look as he spoke.

“Duff doesn’t have boobs. Hopefully the sweatshirt is baggy enough to conceal them,” I felt Izzy’s eyes linger on my chest before her tossed me a random sweatshirt.

It took me a couple seconds, but I was able to throw it on and toss my apron under the seat.

“Took you long enough,” he muttered under his breath as I followed him into his crammed place.

“Ohh sorry, took me a couple extra seconds because I was trying not to bleed to death,” I sassed back.

“Jesus Christ, I already have one drama queen in my band, I don’t need both you and Axl acting like drama queens,” I laughed as I followed him into inside.

“Luckily for us, looks like no one is home,” I headed towards the bathroom to wash off my face while Izzy went to the kitchen to get what I could only assume to be supplied.

Yeah Izzy, so lucky for us.

I stared in the mirror looking at my reflection that was painted black and blue. I smiled at the fact that my nose was no longer bleading and immediately began to run Izzy’s shirt under cold water trying to get the blood out.

“Here,” I turned towards Izzy who handed me a bag of frozen peas.

“Did she hit you in the stomach or chest?” I nodded while moving the bag of frozen pees from my face to my ribcage.

“Alright take your shirt off.”

I froze once Izzy’s monotone words filled the bathroom.

“Izzy if you wanted to see my boobs, you could have just asked,” I teased taking off his hoodie I was currently wearing and my shirt from work.

I watched as he tried to hide a smirk before he inspected the bruises that littered around my stomach and the rib cage. Betsie definitely got me good. I focused on my breathing as I sat on the grimy bathroom counter dressed in only my braw and work pants. My eyes remained focused on the shower curtain as if I was cramming for an exam about shower curtains. I was doing everything I could in order to avoid any eye contact with Izzy. I didn’t want to make anything more awkward.

“What were you doing back at the coffee shop? I kindled you out, why did you come back?” I asked in hopes to break the awkward silence that filled the bathroom.

“I saw a police car race towards the coffee shop” his response was short and plain, but I didn’t want to press any further. Something about the way he responded, I felt like he was lying. I could put my finger on it, but he wasn’t telling me the whole story.

“You should be fine, just take it slow the next couple of days,” the moment I nodded, voices filled the apartment.

“Will you be able to play?” I nodded again and Izzy’s question before I through on the hoodie following him to the main room for and practice. We had a gig in three days, and there was nothing that was going to keep me from playing.

The next couple of days were filled with practicing, and they flew by. I sat backstage at the Troubadour fidgeting with my bass. I was pulled from my thoughts at the faint sound of someone yelling.

“What the actual fuck?” I perked up at the sound of Steven’s voice.

“Sounds like Axl is pissed about something,” I replied earning a nod from the drummer.

“Im going to make sure he doesn’t kill anyone,” he said before leaving the backstage area.

I sat alone in the small white room littered with graffiti alone for a couple minutes as I tried to mentally prepare myself for the gig. The bar was packed, and I could already feel the nerves growing in my stomach.

One shot.

Two shots.

Three shots.

And like magic, I felt the nerves slowly flush from my system as the vodka took its place.

I took a deep breath, and looked up as I saw the rest of the band enter the white room.

“Pixie is batshit crazy!” I laughed at Slash’s words.

“What happened?”

“They started shit, bitching how we replaced them or some shit like that. The best part was their drummer, Betsie, wasn’t even there. Apparently, she’s in jail!” Slash laughed as he sat down next to me.

Holy shit Betsie was in jail. I remained frozen for a moment or two before taking my fourth shot.

Why didn’t anyone from her band bail her out? Did they not have the money or did they just got give a shit?

The crowd was packed, loud, and hungry for some rock n’ roll. Even with the dancers, as Axl put it, on stage I was able to enjoy the gig. I felt the adrenalin take over the more I played. I felt alive

After spending god knows how long at the bar after the gig, Izzy, Slash, and I all crammed into the his truck filled with our equipment. Axl and Steven ‘ended up scoring’ as Slash put it, but I didn’t mind, more vodka and beer for me. Slash handed me a bottle of nightrain once we finished unloading all of our gear in the apartment, and he toasted towards an amazing gig.

“Killer ass show!” Izzy said plopping on the ratty couch.

“We just keep getting better and better,” I took my first sip from the bottle, and continued to feel the calmness flow through my veins.

Time quickly flew by as we talked about random shit that came out of our mouths. Slash would continue to ramble about his snake, trying to get me to meet her. I didn’t know it was possible for Slash to get more talkative, but here we were. Slash’s voice filled the room once again as I looked over to Izzy who had grown more and more quiet through the night. He rolled his eyes as Slash continued to ramble. I returned a smiled and took another sip of my drink.

“You thirsty tonight?” I looked up to Izzy as he motion my half empty bottle.

“Just got something to celebrate,” I smiled back before continuing to drink. Not giving a care in the world.

“Now what’s that?” I melted as he flashed his signature smile. God he was fuckin hot.

“Kick as gig, and Pixie is practically finished. Did you see the look on their faces as the crowd chanted Guns N’ Roses? It was fucking priceless. I’ve been waiting to get revenge at those bitches for months!” I cheered.

The room went silent and Slash sent me a confused look.

“What the fuck did they ever do to you? Did they fuck you or something?” Slash’s face was painted with confusion.

“They kicked me out of the fucking band, stole my songs, and fucking dragged my name through dirt!” I shot back in a matter of fact tone.

“ I thought they were a girls only band?” I was met with only more confusion from Slash. Yeah they were, that’s why they were called Pixie. I froze for a couple seconds trying to understand his confusion.

“So Slash, how old is your snake again? How did you first get her?”

I completely ignored Izzy’s attempt to change the subject, and replied “Well I’m not a guy, I’m a fucking chick.”

Without thinking I ripped off my shirt and the wrapping I used to hide my boobs. I looked over towards Izzy who remained frozen as confusion swept his face as well. I looked down at my exposed chest, and quickly sobered up to what I had done.

I looked up to slash who only managed to mutter, “What the actual fuck....you’re a girl?”

Tagged by @valkyriejack

when was the last time you left your home? I left on Wednesday to get some hotdogs from the traveling hotdog cart in town. There were cops making sure people maintained distance on the sidewalk.

what was the last thing you bought? I bought some paintbrushes to help with a “new” hobby.

is quarantine driving you insane or are you finally relaxed? Both. I had planned to not work or do school for the month of March anyways, since I just recently left my job. But now that it’s April I can’t even apply to for the job I wanted to because it’s a federal job, and they’ve paused their hiring- so I’m started to feel bored and not so great.

do you have pets to keep you company? My cat, Bean <3

who are you spending quarantine with? My husband.

do you have a room to yourself? Sort of? My husband and I have our own apartment but we share a bedroom.

what are your current responsibilities? Take care of my cat? Not spend money while I’m out of a job? Stay inside?

town, country, city? Suburb.

how’s your toilet paper supply? Fine. I always buy tp in bulk because I’m lazy, that and paper towels, so I bought some like two weeks before quarantine went into effect and I still have like 7 rolls left.

what’s the worst thing you’ve had to cancel? I was really looking forward to going to see my friend in MI. Haven’t seen her on a consistent basis since we were in middle school, and I was really looking forward to see her. Also, I was supposed to go to a Ball with my husband, the first one we were both going to be around for, and that got cancelled. So now I’ve got a bomb ass dress in my closest and nowhere to wear it.

what’s the best thing you’ve had to cancel? I haven’t had to cancel anything I wanted to do.

who do you miss the most? In general, my friends.

what are you watching the most? YouTube. Rewatching game playthroughs and Minecraft.

any new hobbies? Not new, but redirecting some old ones. I’m painting a bit and actually using my ‘adult’ coloring books.

are you going to work? Nope. Stopped working at the end of February, and can’t pick it back up until the lockdown on job application for federal jobs is lifted.

what are you out of? Snacks 😭 I can’t keep them in normal circumstances, now it’s just bad.

have you made any changes to your hair during quarantine? Nope! I’m growing my hair out after 5 years of having it in a super short pixie/not-quite-pixie. However! I’ve bought a few wigs and have been trying them out to see what I want to do with my hair once it’s long again.

DIY CUSTOM MANNEQUIN | WIG WILL FIT PERFECT EVERY TIME

Customize your mannequin so that your wigs will fit perfectly every single time.

Wig I’m wearing in the video

My last wig review – Outre ASHANI

*What is the beanie used for? *If you need a larger size you can place the beanie over top of the shelf liner and then add your duct tape last. The beanie is used for extra padding so you don’t have to use a lot of tape. You can also opt to use a few more layers of the shelf liner for padding to get a larger size.

*What is the last layer of duct tape for? *The last layer of duct tape is to make the top layer smooth. If you use hair glue or a hot glue gun to create your units the last layer of tape will also make it easier for you to pull your wig off the mannequin when you’re finished.

*How should I measure my head? *Always measure your head with the same style you wear under your wigs. If you wear braids, low ponytail or gelled down under your wigs then that’s the same way you would measure your head.

* Some people need a larger size because their hair is thicker or longer so it doesn’t necessarily mean that your head is big.

I’m a sophomore in high school and I’m planning on doing performing arts in college. Do you think that having short hair (a pixie cut) might be my disadvantage? I’m trying to find out now, since I still have time to grow it out.

Nope! Certainly not while you’re in college. I had a pixie cut myself during my freshman and senior years. If they need to and are able to, they’ll wig you, but college is a great time to experiment with your hair, whether that’s with styles or colors (mine was even green for two years!). You’re in an academic setting, you’re there to learn, and your hair won’t make or break your educational opportunities.

Once you get into the professional world, longer hair is more versatile, since being able to style your own hair saves a theatre from having to buy or find another wig, but I personally haven’t encountered any theatres where wigs were in such short supply. Some theatres may ask you to cut or dye your hair for a role, though, which wouldn’t be possible if it was already in a pixie. But if a pixie really works for you and makes you feel your best, then I say rock it and make it part of your unique brand as an actor!

Who You’re the Most (and Least) Compatible With During a Crisis, According to Your Sign

Have you signed up for MR Thoughtline yet? It’s Man Repeller’s new text-based service that lights up phone screens with good bits from around the internet, opportunities to chat with cool people, and digital recesses to help your mind take a break from the news in favor of a recipe, physical activity or, trust us, very useful WFH outfit ideas. Subscribe here.

It would seem that we are in a crisis. I don’t think I need to spell it out, but I understand if you might expect a few links to some articles related to how we all feel about it, what the issues are, and where the discourse is right now.

Life will probably continue to serve up crises, in different shapes and sizes, as it always has. What follows is a sweet little zodiac compatibility analysis for every sign. Who you are under duress is not who you are in peacetime. As the conditions change, what we need from our partners changes, too.

Aries

Who you are in a crisis: Aries likes to fight through pain. The way you manage external threats is by taming them into submission with your brute strength. This allows you a reprieve from your fear, which is a hard feeling for Aries to sit with. You’re pumping iron. You’re machete-ing your way through a to-do list. You’ve donned several wigs. You’re writing hilarious characters for each bewigged persona, all of whom will perform in a virtual revue. (Which you’re also hosting.) You’re alive, goddamnit.

Most compatible with: Gemini. You need a freaky pixie whose brain can metabolize your energy and feed you with new facts, angles, and analyses. A Gemini can function as your outsourced frontal lobe, all while your id takes the wheel. But instead of slowing you down, your Gemini can help focus you—ironic, because they often cannot focus themselves—and help you shift into a more productive and sustainable path forward.

Least compatible with: Taurus. You don’t need that “stay in bed until 2:30 p.m., light 32 ylang ylang candles, eat creamy foods, and swaddle yourself in soft fabrics” agenda. To them, it’s a nourishing return to life’s simple pleasures; to you, it’s giving up.

Taurus

Who you are in a crisis: The days are short, not long. Before you know it, it’s 11:00 p.m., and you only masturbated once. You’re cooking. Your meals are well spiced. Your pajamas are luxe. You’re not showering that often, but you don’t smell bad. You miss your friends and would pay $4,000 to be touched by human hands. The home office is elegant, and when you step away, you’re not at work.

Most compatible with: Another Taurus. Two cozy bulls right now would just be more of a good thing. And in a crisis, “you can’t have too much of that,” you say with a mouthful of hazelnut chocolate spread (not Nutella—some private-label bougie decadence that only you know about).

Least compatible with: Aquarius. Now is not the time for you to tax yourself by interacting with a cold, abstract genius. You’re trying to find your balance on earth; they are trying to colonize outer space.

Gemini

Who you are in a crisis: You’ve already cycled through a few identities. Ironically bad chef, pretty good bread baker, Twitter scold, Instagram poet, master sexter, push-up queen, early bird, night owl, and so on. As the most mutable of mutable signs, no one is better at change than you, which doesn’t mean you don’t feel the heartbreak of parting with old ways of life (along with the old selves who lived them). But you know you preserve more of yourself by adapting than resisting. Therein is the key to your survival.

Most compatible with: Sagittarius. The philosopher-kings of the zodiac can supply much-needed wisdom. Some feel their way through a crisis, but the centaur’s scholarship and compelling, dialectical approach will animate your inner student, feeding your brain new perspectives that enable you to make sense of this crisis—even if you can’t transcend it.

Least compatible with: Capricorn. They see your meandering curiosities as a waste of precious mental resources. You see their advice (which you will not take) as the most arduous to-do list in the world.

Cancer

Who you are in a crisis: No one knows, because you are often hiding. Whether physically or mentally (usually both), you need to retreat when the heat is on. But when you’re on, you’ve got a brave face, you’re full of life, and you’re orchestrating really well-run video parties to celebrate your friends and family. You’re also baking a lot and sending 20 percent of what you make to your loved ones—who are very, very lucky to have you at this time.

Most compatible with: Capricorn. They make you feel safe, because they are able to prioritize survival and fun accordingly. They are the most trustworthy people in the world, which is helpful when the outside world is so threatening. Plus, they have a real knack for growing basil, which is a key ingredient in your homemade tomato basil sauce.

Least compatible with: Gemini. When you ask them what’s up, you get multiple paragraphs detailing an extremely personal anecdote and two links to Atlantic articles. We’re just not there yet, Gemini. Boundaries!

Leo

Who you are in a crisis: You learned all the TikTok dances. (You probably created a few.) If anything, you’re wearing more lipstick now. And although it may mortify your family, you’re completely unbothered by how embarrassed everyone is, as you swan around the house in the literal gowns you’ve found in the back of your closet.

Most compatible with: Aries. They’re the only ones who get your need for attention and validation right now. The two of you can form a closed loop of mutual admiration and hyping each other up, which can last you months before you’ll need to seek other sources. Months.

Least compatible with: Virgo. They keep going on about what an “appropriate” amount of time is between when you dirty a dish and clean it, and their “jokes” always feel like low-key roasts. The only articles they share are depressing ones. (They would rightly argue that that’s 98 percent of articles right now.)

Virgo

Who you are in a crisis: Smug. Everyone’s a Virgo in a pandemic, and while you’re glad to see so many converts to the Church of Hand Sanitizer, they are doing it all wrong. You don’t expect perfection, but you know what six feet looks like, and you won’t tolerate compromises. Virgos know they are bodies who must submit to the physical realities of the world. Disease is a fact; the virus doesn’t care that you really, really want to see your friends right now. Virgos are right.

Most compatible with: Cancer. Together, you form an orchestra of broad disapproval, tsk-tsking the neighbors standing too close to each other, criticizing the administration’s slow and inadequate response to the crisis, railing against rich people who hoard toilet paper. Under normal circumstances, complaining would make you happy. Now, it’s an essential practice.

Least compatible with: Leo. They Zoombomb your meetings with no pants on, and they don’t intend to stop.

Libra

Who you are in a crisis: Productive, but beating yourself up for not being more productive. You’re getting good at yoga. You’re writing a pilot. You constantly ask your friends for the hot gossip, even though there is none at this time! You got that good hand sanitizer that doesn’t dry out your hands. Erotica is really important these days. You need to be touched soon.

Most compatible with: Taurus. They are feeding your body with delicious, well-spiced, homemade meals, and an enveloping warmth. You delight them with your resilient sense of purpose and optimism. Also, you’re both sexy.

Least compatible with: Scorpio. Their intense moods linger in rooms after they’ve left, and you’re running out of sage. They play songs on repeat you wouldn’t listen to once. Your cry schedules are completely off.

Scorpio

Who you are in a crisis: Long phone calls. You turn your camera off for video meetings. You’re delivering extra masks and hand sanitizer to those who need it. You’re home, but you miss home. While you’re known for strength and resilience, what it looks like in a crisis is much smaller. It’s incremental steps, getting out of bed when you feel like hiding under the covers forever. Feeling hurt by something your mom said, but calling her anyway. You’re often painted as this fearsome superhero black-magic witch—and you probably are, who’s to say—but you’re also very much a human being who is listening and responding to the world as honestly as you possibly can.

Most compatible with: Virgo. They are trying their best (always!). Their thoughtfulness and sweet gestures—like making you eggs in a basket for breakfast on Saturday morning—makes you feel safe and loved and protected. Most important, Virgos aren’t silly dumbasses, like everyone else.

Least compatible with: Sagittarius. Silly dumbasses.

Sagittarius

Who you are in a crisis: Facilitating discourse in group threads, emceeing family video chats, performing funny little songs on Instagram Live. The way out of a crisis is up, and you never lose your sense of hope and purpose, even when the facts on the ground look grim. You will make it through because you believe it.

Most compatible with: Leo. They are still fun, even during a global catastrophe, and your life will never feel empty when they are in it. You’re both clowns, which means neither of you bear the sole burden of keeping your spirits up.

Least compatible with: Pisces. You’re a clown; Pisces is a sad clown. You’re improvising new choreography to “Make ‘Em Laugh,” while they’re drinking wine in a bathtub, contemplating the ennui of existence. Two talented storytellers working in opposite genres.

Capricorn

Who you are in a crisis: You’re surprisingly texty. You’re keeping it together but you feel crumbly inside. (It’s relatable, and people need to see it!) You have touched base with family, inner circle, reading group, co-workers, old bosses, and even your high school teacher, and you may or may not have created a calendar of outreach to help you manage it. You are happiest when you can sit, uninterrupted, with a book.

Most compatible with: Pisces. They are actually grateful for your sense of structure and sound advice. They soften you in a way no one else could.

Least compatible with: Aries. They don’t like being told what to do, but you have no shortage of things to tell them. They love interrupting you when you’re reading. They like that it makes you mad, because that makes them horny. But it actually makes you mad.

Aquarius

Who you are in a crisis: You’re returning more texts these days… at least, you thought you returned them. (A few of them.) You miss sex, but isolation isn’t that bad. You go for long walks at odd hours. You block off hours on your calendar to sit and think your thoughts. You’re re-watching and re-reading things you already know you love. You’re wondering why everyone’s talking about sweatpants when you’re into bike shorts right now. Some days you’re amazing at Twitter.

Most compatible with: Libra. They’re the only ones who can satisfy your taste for beauty, romance, and sweetness while stimulating your mind with all the right opinions on art and politics.

Least compatible with: Another Aquarius. Two self-contained little aliens. They acknowledge each other and wave peacefully. Then they retreat to their respective planets, unchanged.

Pisces

Who you are in a crisis: Feeding others your homemade bread before you feed yourself. Leaving audio diaries (they are just voicemails!) on your friend’s phones when they don’t pick up. Getting really into turmeric right now. Thinking about moving. Disappearing from social media but still using it to send memes. You make the best ones.

Most compatible with: Scorpio. You’re completely on each other’s schedule when it comes to being cozy, horny, hungry, sad, happy, social, reclusive, etc. They can weather your moods because they’ve got the moods themselves.

Least compatible with: Libra. Their brand of cheerfulness reads as insincerity (it’s not!), and you can tell they are hiding how scared they really feel (they are!). You feel better when you wear your wounds on the surface and connect with people at their most vulnerable. For Libra, they feel better with lipstick and yoga.

The best wig brands for natural-looking styles in 2019

When I discovered wigs, nothing was the same as before. (I'm sure Zendaya and Kylie would agree with Jenner.) They make it incredibly easy to experiment with virtually any look while keeping your natural strands away from the elements.

4, 9 and 23 for the Girl Genius meme.

(The meme.)

Somebody asked for 9 and 23 before you, so I’ll just have to make 4 extralong.

4. Favorite character(s)?

Gil! This dork is not only easily my favorite character in the work, he’sone of my  favorite characters ever overall, of the do-a-happy-dance-when-they-show-up-in-a-scenevariety. Here’s an incomplete list of premium Gil things:

Reacts to crises by acting his way through them like a two-bit streetperformer.

Her vile cat slandered his good name.

Has somehow garnered a widely known reputation as some kind of Lothariowhile almost definitely being a demisexual virgin.

Jumps on his problems.

So majestic.

The death ray thing.

Sort of…I don’t know if this is on purpose? But Gil is kind oftailor-made for Phil’s art style.

Phil Foglio has developed a style of bendy,cartoonish art with body language exaggerated for effect where specific proportions are variable depending on scene and mood. Gil is super compatible with itbecause he embodies these things in-universe more than anybody else. He’sweirdly athletic beyond artistic license, and emotes with his entire bodyditto. He’s built like a brick chimney thanks to his father, but moves like agymnast – except when he’s channeling Klaus’ looming body language on purpose. Look, Ilove this kind of thing, sorry.

Seriously. That physicality tho.

Gil has really attuned me to the fun of hyperphysical characters To Whom Gravity Is Nothing.(Dick Grayson, Adrien Agreste… Can I seriously not think of any girls who have this as a salient trait? Characters who can literally float don’t count. Somebody rec me something.)

Nothing to see here, I’m just HANGING OVER THE EDGE OF AN ABYSS.

HE’S SO EXTRA.

In a world where stories are very important, keeps trying to leverage areputation he does not have.

Look. A character like this is pretty difficult towrite well. Smart characters, first off, are tricky. You don’t haveto be quite as smart as they’re meant to be to pull them off, since as a writeryou’re not orchestrating their shenanigans in real time, but you still need tobe pretty bright. So far this just seems like kudos to the Foglios for ~their entire premise~, which, alright, is true. But Gilgamesh Wulfenbach is this particularly obnoxious(to write) brand of smart character who’s always twelve steps ahead of anybody else in agiven room, sometimes literally, and rarely explains anything hedoes effectively to said room. The reader still needs to know, though. Bywriting a character like Gil in an entertaining and versatile way, the Foglios have accomplisheda feat. I really respect that.

Leaned into a hug from a Jaeger dressed in a wig and fake tits to look like his crush.

Does something interesting and unexpected in just about every possible story situation due to being- brilliant but not as clever as he thinks he is- sociable but socially stunted- moral and empathetic but easily enraged- a huggable panda bear of a boy with a deeply embedded savior complex and a supply of gleeful bloodlust running close to the surface- socially powerful but a huge dork- generally prone to coming up with terrible plans.

Okay, no, fine, absurd but effective plans. Kid’s got a weakness for every strength is what I’m saying. What’s awkward in your friends is goals in your fiction.

Is the romantic male lead but regularly does poses like

Smh.

A rare sighting of the more drab-plumaged male Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

So yeah. There are a ton of great characters in Girl Genius, but Gil. Gil speaks to me.

~Chemo Supplies List~

Hey friends! So for anyone who doesn’t know, I’ve been on chemo for my HLH for the past few months. My specific chemo is called Etoposide. With starting it, I suddenly realized I knew like, nothing about chemo - and I needed supplies. I don’t know everything, and you may have different needs - and this is mostly through American Amazon, so sorry - but hopefully you have comparable things! I hope this eases minds of any other people who are going into this experience completely unprepared like I did. Google was my best friend, but I think Tumblr should have more of this good stuff too!

~~~The list is fairly long, so click below to enjoy! Feel free to send me additions if you’d like to see them neatly added.~~~

Medical/General Supplies

These are only the ones I feel are necessary. Everyone has different daily needs. However, this is my list and product suggestions or just links for the general ones to the most important things to have around. I always keep the sunscreens, wipes, and a hand sanitizer in my bag - the others are great to have around!

Alcohol free toothpaste & mouth wash. Chemo mouths are prone to problems like thrush and infections. Make sure it has flouride still!

Soft-bristle toothbrushes, large pack. Obsessed with the linked ones. Your mouth is sensitive, and also, it’s smart to throw your current one away after each chemo session to keep bacteria down.

Sunscreen for face/head, lips, and body. Chemo increases light sensitivity - I normally don’t burn, but I’ve gotten red tinged. Plus, it’s healthy!

Clorox wipes. You’ll want to just wipe things?? Plus, I wipe toilet seats other people will use for my two days following chemo because urine, blood, and stool can contain amounts of the chemo in this period.

Hand sanitizer. I like the linked one for portable!

Hand wipes. For when things are actually dirty. I also use portable. Can also use flushable cleansing wipes if easier - see GI Issues for links.

Moisturizing skin products. Skin dries out. Also, Aquaphor is great after cleaning cuts and scrapes as a protectant.

Medical face masks. When your white blood cell count goes down, it’s good to have your own supply. I have a bunch of paper ones and one suuuper kitschy cloth one - though I highly doubt the cloth one is medically approved. I wear it when I’ll be around children mostly. Wear masks indoors in crowded places. I avoid too crowded altogether like movie theaters and family restaurants unless I’m very secure in the place.

GI Issues

Not everyone has GI issues of course, but I did. I have ulcerative colitis so I’m used to everything coming out, but I got really bad constipation. It’s settled down in the past 2 1/2 weeks, but I think that’s just my UC acting up. Damn.

Flushable wipes. I did the full thing - containers, refills, and travel packs (which are great and can replace hand wipes. I’ll always carry them from now on). You can choose whatever brand, my sister just picked these. My dad got these for me at his house, which is cute.

Miralax. I’d actually suggest you talk to your doctor and just have some on hand. It isn’t bad for daily use, and it’s better than letting it keep getting bad and then needing to take a stronger laxative. Track your constipated days, mine were only days 2-4 of my chemo cycle, so I only took Miralax on days 1-3, and now I just take half doses sometimes.

Benefiber. I personally have not taken it because I suck - but I should. 

Soft toilet paper. Whatever brand you like. Spend a bit extra. 

Prep H cream and wipes. If you’re constipated, use the cream at the first signs of pushing.

Hair Loss

Okay not everyone loses hair. But most people seem to. I cut mine short personally because it definitely hurts when long, and just watching the loooong strands fall out and having to pull them out - making hair balls in my hands, always needing a trashcan nearby to throw out all the strands - was putting my anxiety through the roof. I also though started chemo while unconscious, so I had no time to process it. I woke up and by the time I could move my arms around freely, the hair was falling out. That doesn’t make it any harder or easier, but being prepared and having a game-plan does! Mine was to pixie it when the hairline got bad to hide the hairline and buzz or shave it when i get spots that people who don’t know would notice. Which is coming up soon. I’ll cry, but I’ll get through it. As will you. Hair grows back, you grow back, the chemo is doing the best it can.

Dandruff shampoo or body wash. My scalp got dry pretty fast, and it gets more dry now that the hair is short and thin.

Gentle shampoo and conditioner. Your hair will be fragile, so try to use soft products on it. I try to stick to naturals(ish) with nothing like keratin treatments, argan oil, or other things meant to change the state of your hair. Also, really limit conditioner, especially near the scalp.

A super soft hat or beanie. My head and ears get so cold some nights! Plus, it saves my pillow from shedding. I just have a nice beanie because I wear it a lot, but you can get chemo-specific hats, bonnets, or even these things. You do you.

Hat liner. I don’t use one, but some people do so hats, wraps, and wigs don’t hurt their scalp.

Head wraps. If you can go to stores, go to stores and get some long scarves. Find Youtube tutorials on how to tie them - or buy those bitches pre-tied off of Etsy. Etsy by far has the best selection. Head wraps is the best search phrase for all styles, but head scarves or chemo caps or turbans etc all also work. Remember the cultural aspects revolving around head wraps - but also wear yours with pride, and don’t let anyone make you feel shitty for trying to look and feel good about yourself.

One nice wig. This is all your choice, but I got one. I want on and off days, but other people are fine with it. Or want a bunch. Either way. If you can get one covered by insurance, go ahead. If not, wigs can be pricey - but many good ones are about the price of a good cut and color. I have a bunch of wigs on my Pinterest. Mine are all super similar, but the sellers are the important place to look! Click through the links and check the other ones out there. Mine is from Haute Hair 123 - they were phenomenal to me and gave me expedited shipping as well as a cap better for a bald head.

Picc Line

I have a chest port now which I think is much better (though kinda freaky at first), but I did have a Picc line at home for a few weeks. First of all, arrange your home care asap. You’re going to learn how to flush it with saline and heparin on your own. It never worked out for me, but I fortunately stayed clean with only 2-3 flushes a week. A medical professional normally changes the dressing once a week. Keep it dry and safe.

Shower protector. I bought the reusable one because it evens out financially if you have it for awhile, but there are many quantities and types of disposable ones. Remember to NOT check under to see if it’s working. Also, check sizing.

Picc line covers. I bought a really nice one online - and it didn’t fit, so I returned it. I mostly used these thigh high old socks I had - I cut two little tubes from the very top where it was super thick. Socks might take wearing down to not fold up during the day. Just wash them regularly. Try turning them inside out if they keep curling. You can also make your own if you’re crafty. Check Etsy again if you’re looking for cuter designs.

Extras

These items aren’t necessary per say, but I’m glad I bought them. It’s mostly the comfort category I guess. 

Eye mask. For when you’re taking day naps or having long infusions. I also sometimes just pull my beanie down over my eyes.

Fuzzy socks. You’ll want them during chemo, around the house, etc. Shoes are kinda redundant when you’re sitting so much of the time.

Solid slippers. I suggest having a pair that’s hard-soled so you can wear them out. I also have house slippers, but having both is good.

New lounge wear. Sweats, matching sets, and cami bras have become such a staple in my wardrobe - stock up on comfy things for infusions and lounge days. No point in getting super dressy to sit.

Good blanket. I didn’t have my own personal blanket, and my body temperature is all over the place all the time - so now I just have mine that no one else uses so it’s just my grossness and my cuddle toy.

Angled pillows. If you end up bedridden for awhile, it’s best to be above 30 degrees when laying down so you don’t get too much mucus and grossness going.

Electric razor. My skin is sensitive, chemo makes it more-so. Electric razors work just fine. I currently just use this cheap one, and it keeps me clean.

Filtered water bottle. I don’t trust water from like, anywhere when my WBC is low. Britas or whatever you like best can bring some peace of mind.

Protein drinks. I do dark chocolate Ensure Plus, but people like different things. Some days are tiring. Have something you don’t need to cook just in case.

OKAY that’s it for now! Once again, feel free to message with additions, which I will add on if I believe they are relevant to the chemo experience! I just want to be able to help people going in blind. I know it’s rough and the symptoms are random, but having good supplies makes it way easier.

[ovoandxobelief]

In September of 2016 I was looking at my relaxed pixie cut ,and I wasn’t happy… I grabbed a pair of scissors and clippers and began to cut ,and after looking in the mirror I just knew I had fucked up… When I saw what I had done , I was mortified and sad… I then decided to make a wig to mask this mistake I had made… And everything was good for those few weeks until I began to get tired of wearing the wig and decided I was going to show the world my “big chop”… I decided I was going to embrace my hair… I decided I was going to turn this mistake into a journey … My natural hair journey… But first I had to make a quick trip to my local beauty supply store for hair dye. I had this idea that dying my hair would make everything better… I guess we could call it a security blanket… I went from basic, boring black hair to that reddish/ orangish color pictured above… And then I let the world see it… It was so nerve wrecking at first ,but it ended up not being all that bad… You have people that love it and you have people that hate it! #OHFUCKINGWELL Almost 4 months later… My hair is back black, I still get called a little boy ,and I’m not approached by many guys like when I have my long Brazilian wig on but that’s okay. After many tears and a period of broken confidence…I love my hair , love , love , love it. And it has taught me to love myself, and I’ve developed this confidence… A confidence wayyyyyy different than the confidence I had before…A mindset like “Yes bitchesssss , I may not have long hair like the next chick , but I’m still that bitttttt! Ayeeeeeeee”. I felt soooo empowered, but please understand that you don’t need validation from anybody especially a nigga. I don’t care if you think I look better with long hair or I shouldn’t have cut my hair. I don’t give a fuck about what you have to say! I want a nigga who is going to love me with or without hair… And I’m not going to lie… There are some days where I don’t feel attractive , and wish my hair was longer, and that guys found me attractive. But , I believe it’s just apart of being a girl. I just have to remind myself of who tf I am and that I’m beautiful… And say for instance when you do feel like that call up one of your homegirls for a day/night out, beat your face, put on a bomb ass outfit, make sure your curls are poppin, post some cute pics on sc & ig…And just slay your life away! Moral of the story to all my girls who have cut their hair or are considering cutting their hair… Embrace it girl , Ignore the ignorant jokes/remarks, because at the end of the day it’s your life and you live for your happiness and not others. Your opinion is the only opinion that matters… You’re poppin , you’re beautiful, and you’re that bitch! Ayeeeeeeeee! ❤️

How to Buy a Wig

Wigs are more than just a great addition to your beauty routine: they can boost your sense of self-esteem, help you follow the dictates of your faith, or make you feel more comfortable as you undergo cancer treatments. While the potential uses of wigs are very wide, you will find that there are some common steps you can take to make sure you buy the best wig for your lifestyle and needs.

Selecting a Wig  

Decide if you prefer a synthetic wig or a

human hair wig

.

 Most wigs are either made of out synthetic fibers, real human hair, or a combination of the two.

Synthetic wigs are especially great for holding volume with short hair styles. They are often referred to as "shake-n-go" wigs because you can simply shake them out as you pick them up and then put them on.

If you are experiencing hair loss due to chemotherapy treatment, most hair grows back within six months of your last treatment. Many cancer patients prefer a synthetic wig because they are a more affordable and temporary option. They generally cost between $50-$500.

Wigs made of human hair tend to be more versatile in that you can style them in multiple ways (in a ponytail, bun, with curls or beachy waves). And while they generally remain in good condition longer than synthetic wigs, they also require more maintenance.

Human hair wigs are often more expensive and can range between $600-$4,000 (very long wigs are the priciest).

You can also look for a wig with a lace front cap. This will help position the hair around your face in a natural shape (not as a harsh seam of hair on your head).

Consider your lifestyle. 

What kind of needs do you have for your haircare routine? Will you want a wig that you can put on with minimal styling and care or do you want something that can be elaborately styled?

You should also think about if you need a wig that you can wear comfortable when you exercise.

Look for a wig that flatters the shape of your face. 

Your wig can be most flattering if you pick one that enhances the shape of your face. Here are some general guidelines:

Round faces. These generally look best with short, spiky pixie wigs, hair that graces the collarbone, or with longer layers that hit at the jawline (but not above it).

Heart-shaped faces. Consider a short pixie cut that can be tousled and has some texture (like Halle Berry), a shoulder length wig with side-swept bangs, or long layers with a fringe of bangs.

Oval face shapes. For shorter hair, look for a shaggy bob (or lob -- long bob). For long hair, look for a wig that holds layered curls or waves.Pick a wig that can hold lots of volume as this will make your face appear fuller.

Square faces. For square faces, picks wigs that will soften your jawline, such as a longer, angled bob, a shoulder length style with soft layers, or a wig with an off-center part.

Select a wig that compliments your skin tone. 

You should have a general idea of which color you want before you go to buy your wig. You might be tempted to try something very different once you are in the store, but it's best to stick with colors that you know will work for you. Skin tone types generally fall into three categories: warm, cool and neutral.

Determine what skin tone you have if you don't know already. Warm skin tones tend to have brown, hazel, or green eyes. If you tan easily, then you most likely have warm skin tones.

By contrast, if you burn easily and have a ruddy color to your skin, then you are cool-toned. Neutral skin tones will often not have an obvious undertone to their skin (neither yellow or pink) and will, therefore, be compatible with most hair colors.

Warm skin tones can generally wear colors like honey blondes, chestnut browns, ebony brown-black shades or copper colored reds.

Cool skin tones can generally wear platinum blondes, ash browns, auburn reds or inky, raven blacks.

Talk to your hairstylist before you go to buy your wig about the ideal cut or color you should look for in a wig.

Fitting the Wig to Your Head

Go to a wig store. 

Once you have selected the wig you would like to buy, you can go into your nearest wig store and buy one in person. Look for synthetic wigs or human hair wigs, based on your preference. Wigs can range in cost from $50 to hundreds of dollars. Make sure you find a wig that fits your needs and your budget.

You can also buy wigs online at online wig boutiques. However, when buying a wig online, you should have a good sense of the cut, color, and style of wig you are looking for to ensure it fits your needs. You can also use your measurements to buy a wig that will fit your head properly.

If you are a cancer patient who is buying a wig as part of the chemotherapy process, your insurance company may cover part or all of the cost of the wig. There are also certain organizations, like the Breast Cancer Society, who give wigs out for free. Talk to your doctor about your insurance options and reach out to cancer support programs in your area to see if you qualify for a free wig or a discount on a wig.

Measure the circumference of your head. 

Whether you buy your wig in person or online, you will need to know the size of your head.

Take a cloth measuring tape and wrap it around your head. It should start in the middle of your forehead, go down to the base of the skull where the wig will end, and then wrap back up to meet the start of the tape on the forehead.

Make sure as you wrap the tape around your head, that you keep the tape above your ears.

The average size of a head's circumference is 22 inches.

Try the wig on to ensure it is comfortable. 

Testing the fit of the wig is the most important element of the buying process. You want to make sure the cap of the wig fits snugly on your head without irritating your scalp.

Many caps in wigs come with tabs that can be adjusted to fit the size of your scalp. But you should aim to find a wig that is the closest fit to the circumference measurement of your head.

Some wigs also contain double-sided tape used to secure the wig in place.

If you are bald, you may want to wear a skull cap pieces inside the cap to prevent the wig from irritating your skin.

If you are wearing a wig over your natural hair, some wigs can be securely attached to hairpins or comb pieces.

Make sure your wig comes with a good return policy. If your wig irritates the skin on your scalp, then make sure you will be able to return it or exchange it for a more comfortable wig.

If you buy your wig online, it should also have an excellent return policy.

Use the adjustable band so the wig stays in place. 

You may be worried about keeping your wig in place when you wear it, but may wigs come with an adjustable band that you can fit to your head so the wig stays secure.

You can also buy a cushion band, which is a gel filled headband that you put on under the wig. The cushion band will make the wig more comfortable to wear and relieve any pressure points caused by wearing the wig.

You can also use a wig gripper, which is an adjustable headband made of fabric that creates friction around your hairline. This friction will help the wig stay in place.

Some people also use toupee clips, which clip into your own hair and into the wig to keep the wig in place.

Caring for the Wig

Protect the wig from heat. 

Most wigs can become damaged by heat if you open an oven door or cook over a stove stop. If you want to wear your wig while cooking or baking, then wear a turban or tuck it under a hat to protect it.

You should never use a hair dryer, a curling iron or other drying aids on the wig, as this can damage the wig fibers.

Wash a human hair wig with mild shampoo and conditioner.

Synthetic and human hair wigs should be washed every six to eight wears, especially if you keep the wig on for a prolonged period of time every time you wear it. You should always brush the wig gently with a wig brush before you wash it to remove any tangles, regardless of if you have a synthetic hair wig or a human hair wig. If the wig is curly, run your fingers lightly through the wig to remove any tangles before washing.

To wash a synthetic hair wig, turn the wig inside out and immerse it in a bowl of cold water and a small amount of mild shampoo. Swirl the wig gently in the water and let it soak for about five minutes.

Rinse the wig one to two times until all the shampoo is removed. Then, apply conditioner to the wig and let it sit for two minutes so it penetrates the hair. Use cold water to rinse the wig until all the conditioner comes off the wig.

Once the conditioner is removed, wrap the wig in a dry towel and pat the wig gently. You can spray a very light coat of conditioning spray, 10-12 inches away from the wig, as an optional final step. Let the wig dry on a wig stand and then brush or comb it with a wig brush. Avoid placing the wig in direct sunlight and do not try to brush the wig while it is still wet.

Use synthetic wig shampoo and wig conditioner to wash a synthetic wig. 

Do this every six to eight wears and always brush the wig with a wig brush before washing. You can find synthetic wig shampoo and wig conditioner at your local hair supply store.

Pour two capfuls of synthetic wig shampoo into a sink or basin of cold water. Then, turn the wig inside out and immerse it in the water. Swirl the wig gently in the water and soak it for about five minutes. Use cold water to rinse the wig until all the shampoo is gone.

Pour one to two capfuls of wig conditioner on the wig. Let the fibers absorb the conditioner, sitting for about two minutes. Use cold water to gently remove all the conditioner from the wig.

Take a dry towel and wrap the wig with it, patting out any excess water. Never rub the wig when it is wet.

Spray a revitalizing conditioner over the wig to condition the wig fibers. Let the wig dry completely on a wig stand. Only brush the wig when it is dry.

Brush the wig out before you put it on. 

Only brush the wig when it is dry and use a wig brush, as this will ensure the wig fibers are not pulled or damaged. A regular hairbrush or comb can stretch and stress the fibers.

The best wig brands for natural-looking styles in 2019

When I discovered wigs, nothing was the same as before. (I'm sure Zendaya and Kylie would agree with Jenner.) They make it incredibly easy to experiment with virtually any look while keeping your natural strands away from the elements. More importantly, they do not require a long-term commitment or a hairdressing experience. I know that I speak for many when I say that they are the best kind of accessory, especially if you actually invest in the best wig brands. Besides, nothing feels better than being able to change his actions as often as changing his outfits, even if it puts a little time into everyday life.

Whether you're looking to invest in a new signature look or spice up a monotone mood, I recommend keeping some of these top notch devices available. You never know when a hair crisis comes up, but if you have a wig on hand, that's the least worry. From affordable shortcuts to long and luxurious locks, here are 14 of the most natural wigs that will make anyone think it's right.

T@rget 🎯 tips y'all! Straight from T@rget LP! Pay attention! 👀👀👀📝📝

So y'all want some tips for the store with the red bulls//eye🎯? We’ll have I got some tips for you, straight from the horse’s (AP) mouth. Now remember this guide may not be true for every single target but from all the one’s I’ve worked at as AP (6 so far) I can say with certainty that most follow the same layout/ pattern when it comes to camera placement. Note: I want to apologize if this “guide” is super lengthy and all over the place. I’m literally typing everything down as I remember so it is a bit jumbled and mixed up

   🎯 So for cameras, again its important to note this may not ring true for all stores but has been from my viewpoint. Electronics is always fully covered! Health and beauty is hot or miss with full coverage but NYX, NO.7, Soap and Glory, L'Oréal, PIXI, the eyelash display, nail care (not nail polish but like the nail tools and tweezers) and expensive shampoo, men’s razors have always been covered. Home/ bedding usually never had any cameras there except for in vacuums which will always be covered since they’re the biggest booster pushout item. In toys the only camera is usually pointed to the lego aisle and that’s it. Clothing will have cameras scattered throughout mainly focusing on teenage clothing, activewear, and swimsuits. There’s never any cameras in market and school/office supplies since AP doesn’t really care about that stuff since most of it isn’t super high value. However this is only true of the still cameras. The store will always have between 4-7 PTZs that can move around and go into places without still cameras like market or bedding. However the cameras are only moved when an actual person is in the office to move them. Otherwise they’re usually focused on the area with the most high theft. Example the electronics PTZ will most likely be facing like the console aisle that holds the games and controllers.

   🎯 Now let’s go into the type of AP the stores have. There are 4 levels of AP here:

          1) There’s the TPS who is uniformed and stands at the door to act as a deterrent for the majority of their shift. TPS cannot perform apprehensions by themselves. If the TPS is in the store by themselves and they notice someone is stealing they will attempt to burn them into dropping the merch since they cannot stop them. TPS can only receipt check merchandise that isn’t in a store bag. If it’s all in plastic bags- no receipt check. All in reusable bags?- no receipt check.

           2) The next level is APS, who is your undercover position. Their role is to fiddle around on camera, watching any suspicious people and to go out on the floor in plainclothes and follow people around. APS can perform solo apprehensions as well as calling TPS to aid them in apprehensions.

           3) Next level is APTL which is basically the same as APS but has more responsibilities and is held more accountable for how the team performs.        

           4)Final level is ETLAP, the big guns. They’re in charge of the entirety of the store, ensuring everything is safe and the merch is protected. They focus on both internal and external equally. Note: not every store has one of each position. Some stores might not have a TPS or APS and only have an ETLAP. Other stores might have 3 TPS and 2 APS etc etc.

   🎯Now onto apprehensions. Obviously we need all 5 steps in order to perform an apprehension. We can’t do fitting room stops so if you go into the fitting room and leave we can’t stop you. However, if you have visible merchandise on your person we can stop you. Example:/ you conceal headphones into your jacket pocket. You go into the fitting room. We can’t stop you. However, you exit the fitting room and a portion of the headphones box is visible we can stop you. When doing apprehensions usually the person performing the stop will go outside and wait for you to exit. Once you go through the doors, aka pass all points of sale, AP will step in front of you and ask you to follow them. We are allowed to go hands on and if you fight the cops will definitely be called. If you come in and see TPS at the door and as you leave they’re missing they might just be outside ready to apprehend. If you have someone waiting in the car they should be able to see whether someone is waiting outside or not. If you already know you’re about to get caught, I’d run out of the fire exit. We can’t make fire exit stops so just run the fuck out and don’t stop until you’re blocks away.

   🎯Now back to cameras and methods: Clothing is tricky. There are of course cameras there, however it’s almost impossible to find clothing once it’s stolen since they’re all over the place. The only way we know clothing has been stolen is A) We watched them steal it with our own eyes, or B) They left the fucking tags. This chain isn’t supposed to use removable tags on clothing since it makes it unappealing so the RFID will be inside the price tag. DO NOT FREAKING LEAVE TAGS. Bring an exacto knife or nail scissors in your handbag and cut the shit in half and take it with you!!! Fitting rooms are hit or miss. Some places are extremely strict and keep the rooms locked and will count the items before you go in. Others don’t have anyone over there and all the doors are unlocked. Scope yours out to see how secure the fitting room is over there. If there is an associate there, they are supposed to stop you from bringing any non clothing items into the fitting room.

   🎯Moving on… So there’s cameras over NYX, but you still want it? Well if your store uses those push dispensers you are in luck. Basically the push dispensers will push another product back out after you select one. This shit is so hard to review on camera. Also the smaller it is ex/ eyeliners and lipstick the harder it is to spot on camera. If you want something bigger, say a PIXI face mist and they don’t use push dispensers? Take it from the back of the display. We track known thefts by camera movement. If the front product doesn’t move it’s nearly impossible to find. That being said, remember the cameras are above not below or to the side. NEVER TAKE AN ITEM FROM THE TOP SHELF. We can see exactly how many of each box there are signs the camera is pointing down towards it. The best place is the bottom shelves since the top shelves cover most of the products aside from the front ones.

   🎯Now continuing, if you’ve shopped here before you might have noticed the yellow security tabs on some makeup such as eyelashes and razors. These will make the doors go off. If the doors go off and you have only bagged items they are allowed to check regardless. Now you don’t want to leave packaging behind right? Just rip that sucker off and leave it somewhere not in beauty or electronics (bedding or behind paper towels is ideal). We can’t identify what was stolen with only the yellow tab so you should be all clear as long as you were being cautious. Another thing: the sleeve or take two put back one method is so god damn fucking hard to catch on camera so utilize that as best as you can in cosmetics.

   🎯Personally, I would say utilizing self checkout is one of the absolute worst methods. Never ever ever use anything other than cash if you opt to choose this method since we can run cards district wide to catch activities in other stores as well as previous activities in that store. Self checkout is also always overseen by an attendant who is trained to spot theft through either ringing everything up and leaving without paying, passing merchandise over the scanners without actually scanning it, and sticker swap where you use a different barcode for an item. I would say you’re 10x more likely to get caught using a self checkout method. Now we probably won’t catch you the first few times but we will continuously build cases. Sticker swapping is hard to get all 5 steps on so we normally let it run until we can get all five steps. Just don’t do SCO it’s way too easy to track. There are people not on the scene whose job it is to track sticker swapping and send us reports to help us find these cases. If you’re going to sticker swap, do it with similar items. Want a pair of $50 headphones? Swap it with a $10 headphones. Never swap with target brands like heyday though. We will know those aren’t heyday headphones. The camera that you see isn’t accessible to us in the office. The cameras are gonna be above you on the ceiling, looking down so we can see every item you scan and check if it matches up or not. If you bag and go, the light at the top of the self checkout turns red. Once the attendant realizes someone didn’t pay since only they can remove the transaction before some else can use it, they will inform AP and we can see exactly who scanned it.If you were lucky enough to not have been spotted by AP during your visit but are found out later, our best face shot is usually gonna be the exit shot which isn’t the greatest quality at times.

   🎯We normally base repeats on certain features like hey does this look like the guy that pushed out toys last week? Nah the hairline is different. Go crazy with the disguises. Wear a wig, cover up existing tattoos or apply temporary realistic fake ones. Contour your nose, wear glasses or take them off. Change you body shape through different trips by wearing tighter/looser clothing. Make sure each time you visit you look like a completely different person and we usually won’t piece all the thefts together. The way you dress is very important. If you dress shabby/ look homeless we’ll watch you. A group of young people? We’ll automatically watch you. For stores near colleges ex/ Mississippi state if you wear a college shirt well usually watch you for a bit cause young people are easier to catch and more likely to steal. Dress maturely and like you have money. But don’t overdress cause you’ll still stand out. Dyed hair stands out to us and lots of tattoos or piercings. Guys with hats and sunglasses and backpacks automatic watch. Your purse is very important! No totes EVER. Always use a structured purse if you’re going to conceal and make sure it’s normal sized.

    🎯Now for pushouts. Pushouts are very iffy, it all depends on luck and your store layout. You can get away with a lot more using the pushout method, and they usually won’t notice until right when you leave so don’t come back after a long while when pushing out and wear a disguise!!! We catch repeat pushout subjects super fucking easily so don’t do it often.

   🎯Now let’s talk about after the theft. We do write reports about thefts that we find happened due to stuff like empty packages, noticing items are missing from the counts, customers or associates giving us pointers. If we find an empty package but there’s no camera in the area we don’t write a report since we don’t know who stole it. If someone pushed out a cart of groceries but it was all in reusable bags that you can’t see inside of we literally cannot write a report since we have no idea what you took since there’s no cameras. Even if we have one selection out of the entire cart full of stuff we will write a report. Police reports are written for known theft of between $26-$75+. Each district has a different minimum when it comes to police reports. Police also usually don’t take shoplifting reports to seriously if it’s after the fact. If you’re driving, please park far away. Like in a different shopping strip far away. If we get a plate you are screwed since it makes it so much easier for us to identify who you are.

   🎯So electronics. Not the wisest move, but if you must make sure you bring the items forward on the peg after you take one and do not fucking take something from the top. If it’s in a boxleeo protector you need an s3 key to open it but leaving the box behind is pretty damn evident. Note: if you use tools (s3 key or magnet) or any kind of weapon is seen on you (razor, scissors, gun etc) the cops will be called immediately so be cautious when using tools. If you’re a minor and you get caught we have to call your parents no matter what and they have to come. If they don’t we go to the police since we can’t release you due to liability issues.

    🎯Let’s talk about behaviors now. Don’t be an idiot. We obviously don’t catch everyone. I’d say we only catch about less than 2% of theft that occurs. As long as you’re being cautious and keep up a good appearance you should be fine. Don’t cart build, putting lots of high dollar merch in the cart is an instant red flag. Don’t look down every aisle or look up at every person that walks by. Innocent shoppers shop mindlessly, they don’t pay attention to every person that walks by. Its also weird to go to different areas of the store sometimes. Most people getting groceries aren’t gonna stop by for electronics so don’t bring unnecessary attention to yourself. If you look nervous, are sweating and it’s not hot, have red cheeks it might raise some flags, especially after we have someone service you. We do have rfid target stickers that we stick on high theft merch. The stickers will always be visible. Again, cut through it or simply peel it off. They will make the doors go off. If you’re unsure if anything has manufacturer rfids inside ex/ plan b, buy something cheap like $10 wireless headphones and when we check you at the door we’ll just dismiss it. If you walk out and you beep but you didn’t buy anything we won’t even acknowledge you at the time, but we will go back and review to see what you did. Try your best not to beep as you go out. If someone beeps and they don’t turn around we usually research to see what they did. Sometimes when people beep and they turn around I won’t even check them because the innocent thing to do is turn around and be like ??? Why am I beeping? Do you need to check me?

   🎯Hidden cams: Bulls/eye does utilize hidden cameras. If you notice an aisle has no visible camera but something is out of place in the ceiling it’s probably a hidden camera. They can see through the tiniest hole. A weirdly placed vent or miscolored ceiling tile is usually a dead giveaway there’s a hidden camera. Not all stores use hidden cameras though since most only get like 2 and they usually use it to spy on employees in the back for internal theft.

   🎯DO NOT hit  the same thing repeatedly! Fixed cameras can be moved if we think they’d be useful covering something else! If we notice an insane amount of like nail polish theft we can move say the NYX camera over to cover the nail polish.

That’s it. If anyone has any tips not mentioned feel free to add! Also if you tag this or reblog this outside the community I will find you and kill you 🔫😉.

All of this basically tells me not to lift at T@rget. If someone reads this and thinks “hell yeah I can lift at t@rget now” y’all are stupid. The length of this post alone tells me there’s far too much at stake.

Cancer Revisited, Finding Peace in the "No's" of Our Lives

I requested that God allow me persistence. God said No.

Persistence is a result of tribulations; it isn't truly, it is earned.

I requested that God give me satisfaction. God said No.

I give you gifts. Satisfaction is dependent upon you.

I requested that God save me torment. God said No. Enduring draws you separated

from common considerations and conveys you closer to me.

I requested that God influence my soul to develop. God said No. You should develop without anyone else,

be that as it may, I will prune you to make you productive.

I requested everything that I may appreciate life. God said No. I will give you life

with the goal that you may appreciate all things.

I requested that God enable me To love others, as much as He adores me. God said...

Ahhhh, at long last you have the thought.

Quit disclosing to God how enormous your tempest is. Rather tell your tempest how huge your God is.

Creator Unknown

The above piece addressed me such that I related it to an extremely individual ordeal. I needed to impart the accompanying story to any individual who is intrigued. Perhaps we can figure out how to see our lives with somewhat more modesty, expectation and boldness to address the difficulties we may experience, be that broken connections, demise or troublesome choices we battle with every day.

At the point when my granddaughter was determined to have lymphoblastic disease at 5 years old, our family, church partnership and companions went into a programmed supplication schedule. She continued chemotherapy medications and the steady powerful medications and their terrible impacts. She encouraged and went into abatement. There were right around 4 long periods of alleviation, yet it returned. The chemo, the queasiness, the loss of hair, a day by day regimen of drug and medicines, even radiation, continued. At the same time she figured out how to be her sweet, cheerful, cheery minimal self. She played like other youngsters with the exception of for the most part alone, until the point that the threat of germs from other kids was at a reasonable condition. She was self-taught yet permitted to have one companion in her "class" sporadically, to make sure she would not feel totally close far from her social life. Another rally and restored trust. Some similarity of commonality had returned for very nearly multi year and one half. This tenacious interloper has raised its appalling head once again. It seems to have metastasized. The most recent tests demonstrate her blood checks in desperate straits. The specialists, have needed to fall back on blood transfusions and say the main elective they bring to the table is that same sickening routine and no certifications of broadened life.

Her folks have fearlessly picked not to put her through that once more. They need the existence she has left to be as quality as conceivable despite the fact that it might be short. Michelle will be 11 in the spring, on the off chance that she makes it. In the event that one didn't know she has tumor they would not presume a thing as long as she has her wig on. She acts like a typical tyke doing the ordinary things youngsters do. She spends a decent piece of her day making presents for loved ones with her huge expressions and specialties accumulation. She has an accumulation of Fairies and evidently has "pixie companions." I speculate she's had dreams of heavenly attendants, who encompassed her. She laughs with her companions and expects she will be a mother sometime in the not so distant future, similar to whatever is left of her companions. She has a "sweetheart," loads of lady friends and is cherished by all who meet her.

The Love in this young lady is the case God has attempted to show humanity, since the get-go. There is a benevolence, trust, trust, plans, and sweet insensibility to the conceivable reality. In her short life she has been a companion, an instructor, a consoler, a girl, a sister, a granddaughter and a case of bravery that could put a few of us grown-ups to disgrace. She has continued with persistence, made her own satisfaction and endured torment many won't know. Her soul has developed and she has figured out how to appreciate life despite the greater part of the "No's" tossed her direction. God knows her tempest has been enormous, yet not on the grounds that she has whined. Like Jesus, at His season of takeoff from this life, she just knows LOVE.

I don't think about you, yet I am embarrassed to whine about my little "No's" throughout everyday life, all in view of the case of a loveable, young lady with tumor who has discovered peace with the "No's" a major part of her life.

Michelle passed away before she contacted her twelfth birthday. There is a vast expanding opening in the lives of the individuals who adored her. Some may think I am coming to with the accompanying, however 2 years after her demise, I was walking around the supermarket where I purchase my basic supplies. Toward the edge of my eye I saw a delightful young lady about Michelle's age, as I recall her. The youngster was distant from everyone else simply gazing at me, tailing me with her eyes. I took a gander at her and grinned. She grinned back, and after that I didn't see her once more.
