An Open Letter To My Broken Hearted BFF

If he is stupid enough to walk away be smart enough to let him go.

An Open Letter To My Broken Hearted BFF
SHAWNNA GRACE

To My Broken Hearted Beautiful BFF,

I know how many questions you have that were left unanswered, and I know behind that strong smile how much you are hurting right now.

I can't begin to express the love and support I have for you, not only at this point in your life, but always. I hate more than anything to see you hurt, especially when you are genuinely the most loving, thoughtful, and caring person I know and the one person in the whole entire world who doesn't deserve any of it. You are an inspiration to me, and I could never imagine a time where you aren't your smiling, sparkling self.

This guy who did this to you, I really just want to unleash the five two sass queen side of me on him, but I know in the end that will only hurt you more. So although I can't be much help there, there are some things that I will promise you.

Although time is one of the main things you need to heal (and lots of ice cream) , I do want you to know that I will be here with you every single step of the way. Every breakdown, every single time you need to vent, I will be there to hold you and listen. I will never judge, but rather love you more for your overcoming strength.

Although it seems impossible now, there is a time in the future where you will be laughing, happy, and forgetful of all the pain you endured during this time. There will be a time when you wake up with hope and excitement of what the future holds for you.

You are so strong and have so much to offer! This guy who doesn't see it, he is really, REALLY missing out and I know one day he will look at you and see where you are in your life and regret the second he walked away. I can't emphasize your worth enough. You are the whole package, and you deserve someone who sees that. You have given so much of yourself, and you deserve someone who will not only give that back to you, but more!

You deserve to feel loved every second of every day and never have a single doubt about him or his love or where his heart is. You deserve to be treated with respect and treated as a priority. You are someone's future, and you deserve someone who can give you one too! You are worth so much more than what you've been given and I want you to truly see that.

Falling in love is one of the few things in life that is magical. The reality is that you will get the opportunity to fall in love again, and instead of focusing on the fact that it wont be him, I want you to focus on the big picture.

You get to have all the firsts again, and think of how all those made you feel. First dates, first kisses, the experience of getting to know someone from the very beginning. What a beautiful thing it is that you have that to look forward to.

Heartbreak is the worst pain we can endure, but it's something that makes us a better person in the end.

You will find someone who you won't even have to try with. He'll simply hug you, and will glue all your broken pieces back together.

Never settle for anything less than what you deserve, and my love, please remember that you deserve the world.

Here for you forever and ever. You are the Blair to my Serena.

Love,

Your Super Protective BFF

The reality is, there's no part of life the pandemic hasn't affected. Whether it's your work life, your home life, your social life, or your love life, coronavirus (COVID-19) is wreaking havoc on just about everything — not to mention people's health.

When it comes to romance, in particular, people are all handling things differently and there's no "right way" of making it through, regardless of your relationship status (single, taken, married, divorced, you name it). So, some of Swoon's creators sought out to hear from various individuals on how exactly their love lives have been affected since quarantine began.

I Recommend This $85 POC-Founded Hair Brush To Everyone — Here's Why It's Worth EVERY Penny

It replaces nearly three steps in my hair routine.

I Recommend This $85 POC-Founded Hair Brush To Everyone — Here's Why It's Worth EVERY Penny
@raincrybeauty

- Though as a little girl, I had the silkiest, softest hair that would get compliments everywhere I went, since I turned about thirteen I've since had coarse, dry hair no amount of deep conditioning masks or sulfate-free shampoo could fix.

- I started using the Raincry's Condition Boar Bristle Brush several months ago, and while I noticed that my hair had been softer, silkier, and shinier than it had ever been, I didn't make the connection because I never thought a simple hairbrush could make any difference in my hair texture.

- I will be the first to admit that I thought it was ridiculous to spend nearly a hundred dollars on a hairbrush, but this one eliminates the need for me to use any heat tools or styling products on it.

- I put some oil or a serum in my hair when it's wet, brush my hair with the boar bristle brush once it's dry, and end up with the lowest maintenance, shiniest hair I've had since I was 8 years old.

Bingeing a romantic comedy is always a good idea, and during this pandemic, these movies bring us one of the only elements of romance we can get. Through all the break-ups, obstacles, and struggles in our love lives, romantic comedies have always been there to make us laugh and keep us company while we cry.

While we love these movies for the beyond gorgeous male love interests, the female protagonists are still the ones we always remember. Although rom-coms are far from reality, it is always fun to imagine what our life would be like if a cinematic studio was behind our love life. So what does your favorite romantic comedies say about your dream guy?

The NBA is back, and for basketball fans, like myself, it has been the BEST news we have heard since COVID-19 shutdown play indefinitely. I mean, come on, we need to see if James Harden can once again perform so well he has back-to-back 50 point games, Kawhi can lead another team to the championship title, and whether Giannis is going to be back-to-back MVP... among like 500 other things running through our heads!

In the midst of all of the amazing statistics and records that these players are breaking, though, we also just love the NBA because well, there are some pretty good looking guys out there. Here are the 19 hottest NBA players (in no particular order) you would totally let slam dunk on you now that the NBA has returned.

Everything You Need To Know About Macronutrients, Because A Diet Should Be More Than Calories

Pay attention to what you're eating, not just how much you're eating.

Everything You Need To Know About Macronutrients, Because A Diet Should Be More Than Calories

Plenty of people are familiar with the "calories in, calories out" (CICO) method of dieting which can be used for losing, gaining, or maintaining weight. This method relies on calculating a person's total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) to ensure that they are not overeating or undereating to achieve their desired weight. TDEE considers a person's height, weight, age, gender, and level of activity to determine what their caloric intake should be — some calculators can factor in body fat percentage as well. When I used a TDEE calculator online, it said that my TDEE would be 1,990 calories if I was trying to maintain my weight, but are all calories created equal? I'd argue that they're not.

It might seem obvious to some of you that 1,990 calories of macaroni and cheese are not healthy at all compared to 1,990 calories of varied foods (fruit, veggies, meat, bread, etc.).
