Why would you want to hurt someone’s feelings? Especially someone so sweet, not to mention with a lot of readers; I’ve gotten a lot out of her stuff, and so have many other people, and I’m just not sure why someone would feel the need.

Miserable people like to share, he's ridiculous, besides the fact that I happen to have very strong healthy hair, and the only thing I use is coconut oil- a couple months back he tried critiquing my language skills because apparently he doesn't feel that I should be cussing, he fixates on insignificant bullshit to try boosting his own ego thinking that somehow makes him superior 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ He's irrelevant & he knows it but he's trying desperately to share his misery anyway- at least I got to laugh at his retarded ass this time 😁😁

I’m with the others. You have beautiful eyes and they center your face. Go as you are. Love your stuff.

You look so much more relaxed in the bottom picture, Reina. Both are great, and it’s lovely to put a face to your name! But the natural you looks great! 🥰✨

Thank U Beautiful!!🥰🥰 That's a helluva Compliment coming from U👑👑

The bottom pic is actually physical exhaustion lol, but probably a lil more relaxed too, been in Nature daily for 2 weeks now vs the top pic was my 1st weekend back in FL since 2010, & 1st trip to a Real Beach since 2022 (but one I enjoy- since 2007).

You are beautiful, honey, I love your natural eyebrow and no make up face. You are gorgeous. I am glad you are feeling good. It's nice to catch up a little.

Yes, we need to catch up- my apologies I've been terrible about communication these past few weeks💜💜

Thank U so much Queen👑👑 that's a serious compliment coming from your Beautiful face🥰🥰 Love U for that!!

Aw :) Don't apologize to ME! It's great. Just know I am thinking about you.

Look good both ways. It truly is within the difference that causes one to choose what’s “normal “ or what one is used to. To choose the unknown is to choose change and definitely gets easier as it progresses. When one truly embraces it you suck up what you can when you are given the time. Great job. The mascara does darken your eyes a tad darker blue.

Thank U King👑👑 I Appreciate U, & U are correct about choosing the unknown & changing- I've been on that this whole year & it's Amazing how good it feels 🥰🥰👑👑💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿🌴🌴

Actually, I don't think it's the mascara, my eyes change color regularly- green, grey, blue, turquoise (Yes I know Not a human eye color 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️)

Wow, you look exactly like the girl in one of my college classes that initially sat at the far end of the classroom and slowly over a few weeks, moves herself right next to me. We became study buddies after school, and I developed a crush on her.

She was the classic... the one that got away.

They said that there's three types of women that guys think about all the time, that's his first Love, his last Love, and the one that got away.

Thank U King👑👑 Honestly I've been told several times in my life that I'm "the one that got away" so it's interesting to know one of my doppelgangers is the same😳😳😏😏

You're a good looking woman, I wouldn't have noticed the eyebrow detail had you not mentioned it. You be your wonderful self and let the small minds stay stuck in small thoughts.

Expand full comment

Thank U King👑👑 I Appreciate the Compliment🥰🥰 and that's been the general consensus, but like I said it was always a “me” thing- I never liked that U could tell everyone else has eyebrows from a distance but mine U would have to be up close & personal to see, & I don't like people being that close lol

Expand full comment

Totally understand, I think a lot of us have those details about ourselves we wish we could change. Lord knows I've several myself, one being when I was younger I wished my curly hair was straight. Post chemo and it's straight as a board but won't do anything except make me hope my curls reappear 😆 How's that for a man to let irritate him 😆😆😆

Yes!! I completely get it- that's exactly what I was talkin about 😂😂

Definitely better without the eyebrows. Beautiful and glowing!

You are beautiful with both colored in eyebrows and without the added color! If I were to chose, I prefer the second photo! You shine! ✨

Reina, you have a beautiful face, eyebrows in both shades! Lovely blue eyes, creamy skin and a strong gaze. I do not know any women who do not struggle to some degree with their physical self. I was just told today that I "do not look female". OK....at age 71, that is tough to hear. I do not flaunt myself but still, I have to live with my face!

Having a rough day but I think we all go through it. Self acceptance is an onward dance. Onward and upward for us all. Blessings to you, Wendy

Thank U Queen👑👑 I think whoever said that to U was a miserable ass who was trying to make themselves feel better by trying to make U feel bad, misery loves company!! If U ever see/talk to that asshat again, just Smile, look them dead in the eye & say "Whatever Bitch"😁😁 & calmly walk away😉😉🥰🥰

Thanks, Reina, what a good idea. I will consider! Keep on, mighty warrior!

Well, first of all, hello, gorgeous ❤️. With and without eyebrows, the thing I notice is the flawlessly beautiful glowing skin (!!!!!) and your beautiful blue eyes. You don’t need the brows if you don’t want to deal with them.

My funny story is that I love/hated my hair. I love the color of my hair. It’s a honey brown that lightens considerably in the sun. It’s very silky and very long. But it’s weirdly curly/wavy in the back. I used to never wear it down if it hasn’t been blow dried stick straight. After kids I started wearing it natural more often. My mother said to me that she didn’t know my hair could do that. Now I accept the wave and have learned tricks to encourage it to wave nicely. I never blow dry it anymore and enjoy the extra time I would have spent obsessing over straight hair.

I too had the love/hate relationship with my hair. I literally had a mane of curls in a time of Farrah hair. Oh the horror! 🤣 I used to torture it until it behaved. Of course, a bit of humidity and all my efforts were lost.

My lessons in futility finally beat it out of me. Now it’s just me. I AM the women with Botticelli curls that flow down my back. It’s just a part of who I am.

Reina, your natural eyebrows suit you. You look younger, happier and those gorgeous eyes blaze with life. No more mascara for you.

Those curls sound incredible! ❤️

Thank U so Much Queen👑👑 I happen to think Natural Curls are absolutely Gorgeous 🥰🥰

Expand full comment

Thank U Queen👑👑 That is an amazing compliment coming from someone as Beautiful & Talented as U🥰🥰

I totally get it, U would not believe how long it took me at times to do something as simple as coat eyebrow hair with mascara- With OCD🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ Literally 20 mins in, grab a face cloth, scrub face & start from scratch- soooo many times🥴🥴

I bet it is hard making them symmetrical. Sounds like a very delicate and detailed process. I would blow dry my hair then check it for straightness. If there was even one tiny wave, it would go into a ponytail and all my effort was for naught 😆

Reina! You're gorgeous! Natural beauty and your skin! wow! My eyebrows keep fading over the years and sometimes I use a pencil and sometimes not. I'm going gray by choice too and embracing it all. Who cares anymore! Earned all the lines too! Sending you BIG love ❤️😘

Thank U Queen👑👑 Love U🥰🥰 Keep Smiling~ That's The Secret😉😉🥰🥰👑👑💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿🌴🌴

“Keep smiling” - it is the secret! Have you seen Kimberly Warner’s Substack, “Unfixed.” I am always so filled with humility when I read her work and see the struggles of so many people who cannot be fixed. Her memoir and her story of living with a rare disorder after a bicycle accident is incredible. Living with rare diseases or diseases that are terminal and their incredible spirit is what she writes about and documents on film. After living with intense arthritis for so long, I realize that keeping going, honoring our one life, etc., is literally everything. Nothing else matters. Let no one or nothing stop you from doing you til the bitter end. Her post today gutted me. You are doing amazing Reina. Love you. oxox
