I think it’s fair to say that women invest a lot of time and money into making themselves look good.
We buy expensive eye creams, moisturizers, and lotions to keep our skins young and supple. We get treatments for cellulite and stretch marks. We spend hours in the gym every month to lift and tone our muscles.
And yet… it feels like no matter how much you spend or work out, a certain lumpiness remains on your butt. Or pesky stretch marks that used to be badges of honor for weight loss, but have now become something thorns in your eyes.
Contrary to popular belief, the skin on your body is actually less forgiving than the skin on your face since it contains fewer hair follicles and stem cells. Dermatologists indicate that your butt is very prone to hyperpigmentation, cellulite, and stretch marks. And it doesn’t help that your butt is one of the most neglected areas of your body.
If you’re struggling with stubborn cellulitis and stretch marks, perhaps it’s time to get some affordable but specialized help.

In a time where it feels most shows and films are about superheroes, it is refreshing to watch content that just feels real. Writer and producer Carlton Jordan is a self proclaimed, and justifiably so, stigma-breaker. He writes stories that are not only relatable, but are on issues that no one is talking about. This can especially be seen on his YouTube show “POZ ROZ”, which is about a young black woman who contracts HIV. The viewer finds themselves loving Roz through her growth and struggles as she adjusts to her new reality. Warning, there are a few spoilers here, but Carlton made sure not to give away anything for Season 2 (even though I wanted him to)!
