What's up, everybody? It's Stas here. Welcome back to another video. So in today's video, I'm going to be talking about three stocks that I'm looking to swing trade here towards the end of July, heading into the month of August in 2019. And during my analysis this morning, I figured why not just make a video talk about what's going through my mind right now, what are my thoughts on the market, some stocks and ETFs that I'm watching, and that's what you're watching right now, guys. I'm making the video because I want to let you guys into my mind a bit further here with some live analysis, just looking at some live charts and what I'm personally thinking. So if you enjoy this type of video, if you enjoy this video, feel free to go down below and hit that like button. Subscribe to the channel. If you haven't done so already, I'm posting multiple videos per week daily videos about the stock market, my trades, my personal philosophies, stuff like that. So feel free to subscribe to the channel and let's get the party started. So right now, the S&P's up 0.3% with about 20 minutes left or rather 20 minutes into the market. We're up about $9. And if we go to the one day one minute, this is a support resistance level that I'm watching right now on the one day one minute 2975. And actually, if we go back to the 184 hour chart, you'll see this better 2975 is a critical support right now that I'm watching, right? This is an old resistance. We broke out of it. It's a new support. We retested it earlier in July. We popped above it solidifying it as a support. And that level is also right on top of the 50 S&P here on the 184 hour chart, which is another support. So right now, if the markets get rejected under this 180 SMA, which we were rejected at that on Friday session, if we get rejected here after this little rally that we're seeing, this could be a good entry point if we do continue the downtrend for one of these market ETFs like SPXS as well as SQQQ, but that's actually trading on the NASDAQ. So actually disregard that statement, just the SPXS for the S&P 500, right? If we were to get rejected there. And I'm also thinking on these longer timeframe charts, notice how although there's a bunch of jazz and nonsense here, let me just clear this very quickly. Notice how if the S&P were to get rejected at this level that I just talked about on the smaller timeframes, on the larger timeframes here on the 10 day 30, that would be us getting rejected under the 50 SMA for a lower high from the previous. And especially if we broke 29.75, that would be a lower low. And at that point, the downtrend is still intact. So I'm watching this spot as being extremely critical right now. If we were to break out at that point, and we held above 3000, we could be pushing for an all-time high again at that point, because that's really the break of this downtrend that we've been on over the past couple of days. But we just need to get rejected and break below 29.75 in my opinion, to continue this downtrend here. So that's a little brief rundown on what I'm looking at at the markets right now in the markets in specific the S&P, which is what I use to track the entire market. It only makes sense because the S&P is the 500 largest publicly traded US company. So I want to do my analysis based on the top 500 companies in the country, right? That only makes sense. So let's hop into three stocks that I do have written out right here on my piece of paper that I'm looking to swing trade, then we'll jump into some other analysis very quickly, very, very quickly rapid fire style with some other stocks and DTF. So INTC guys, this is one that if you recall a couple of weeks ago, I actually traded this one. And I took a bit of a loss on it, right? I traded it, I got in, I forget exactly when I got in, but it was during this point in time, I got in on a dip, it might have been this day we got rejected, we broke the 50 S&M, something like that. And then I ended up cutting losses there. But anyway, since that point in time, we've actually recovered quite nicely. And this actually proved to be on the longer term scale. If we're taking a look at a couple of weeks back, this ended up proving to be a higher low. So honestly, guys, I sold a bit too early back then. But that's okay, right? Because hindsight's 2020, I didn't know it was going to bounce. And at that point in time, that was a smart move. So I'm very happy with myself for sticking to my rules. But if I were to hold right, if I knew the future, if I had the crystal ball, right, you know, I'd be up quite a bit on my position right now. But that obviously didn't happen. And now I'm going to analyze it with the new data that we have since I made my last trade. And at this point, guys, you can see that that was merely a dip. We popped up, we held the 50 S&M, we pulled back again, actually, and we retested it back in the middle of this month. That was actually about five days to a week ago, this happened. And since then, we broke out of this critical resistance at $50. As you guys can see, that was a resistance months back towards the beginning of this year and towards the end of 2018, we broke that level, which is very critical. And now I'm looking to see, are we going to hold this level as a new support? Are we going to pull back and hold $49.75 and $50 as a new support? And if we do do that, guys, I think we'll be able to potentially fill the gap back up to $51.80, $52. That's what I'm watching right now on INTC. And if I get my handy dandy tool out, you guys can see another level here that we might test today is at about $51. So I'm thinking if we pull back test 50, we start to pop up, you know, that could be a good entry point up to $51. And once we break $51, if we break that level, that could be a point to add more money if we retest that and pop up to $51.65, which would be the exit point. So that's what I'm looking at, $50 up to around $52. I think this is a very possible scenario here on INTC, especially since it's been doing quite well. But one thing to keep an eye out for, guys, they are reporting earnings here in three days. So earnings, depending on if they miss on EPS, if they beat on EPS, if they miss on revenue, or if they beat on revenue and how the guidance is, really earnings can push the stock up or down. So this could break the trend completely, but if it doesn't really react too crazily, we see that maybe the earnings were good, guidance was good. Maybe if we pull back, that could open up an ideal scenario to get into INTC. And me personally, I like to wait until after earnings reports to get into stocks. So at this point, I'm probably looking for this as an entry point for me personally, again, you do your own research, probably towards the end of this week on the 26th, which if I I'm assuming the 26th is Friday, right 26. Yeah, I'm thinking 26th is Friday, that can maybe be a day that I might look into entering INTC here after they report earnings. So another one that I'm looking at is DPZ Domino's Pizza, we talked about this one in yesterday's video. But if you weren't able to catch that Domino's Pizza right now, you can see we took a massive dump from 280 down to 245. And the real reason the first reason why I'm liking this one a lot right now and give me a second guys, my phone is buzzing right now. But the real reason why I'm liking this one a lot right now is because we held this $245 level of support that's been a support over the past couple of months to be quite honest, right? We hit it here once, we hit it again, we hit it again. Now we pulled back massively, we retested it after this earnings report. And now we've been recovering quite nicely from the pop on that support. And you guys can see it even better on the five day five minute, right? We sold off, we started to hit that support level. And then on the five day five minute, we started to break out of the 180 SMA and the 50 SMA, which were at one point resistance levels. And now we're holding them as new support levels, the breakout, the pullback, the hold on the 180 SMA support higher low from the previous. And from there, we've just been uptrending the past really three trading days and heading into today. You know, you guys can see we're holding that 180 SMA again. So at this point in time, guys, I'm looking for this DPZ stock, Domino's Pizza, to hold this level we're at right now. I'm confident we will because we are holding it as I'm speaking right now. And the RSI is really oversold. So for this trend to even continue, and there we go, guys, we got a nice little gap up candle stick. There it goes. You see, you see what I'm talking about guys? We pulled back, we held it, and now we're starting to break. This is exactly what we want to see. So let's see if it starts to continue the push there. But ideally now that we saw the big pullback, a break above the 50 SMA and 255, 256 would be ideal in my opinion as well. And if we're going back to the 20 day one hour, you can see this is merely a pullback at a higher low. So the uptrend is still intact. 90 day two hour, I would actually like to see a break into the 260s eventually. And let's talk about that resistance right now, guys. You see this 255 level is a support. And if we pop to the next resistance at 260, how much does that offer us if we want to swing trade that? That's about a 1.64% profit margin right there. And that honestly, if we hold this and start to uptrend again, that should fill in the matter of a couple of days in my opinion. And that's if the uptrend stays intact, and you guys can see it is at this point, right? You're starting to see it even better now with some time we pulled back, we popped, and now we're bouncing. And if we look on the one day one minute, you guys can see it as well. You can see the pullback, and now we're starting to pop. Ideally, a break above, again, 256, you can see that was a level of support this past Friday. Ideally, a break above that and the 50 SMA on the intraday chart as well. That would be pretty ideal for DPZ. So FedX right now, guys, that's another one I talked about in yesterday's video, but I figured I'd cover it again today because I don't just talk about these stocks just to talk about them, right? I like following up on them. I like, you know, just keeping track with them and updating you guys in the videos, right? That's kind of the point because if I'm just talking about a stock and then I don't talk about it again, it's like, what's the follow up, right? What ended up happening in terms of technical analysis? And that's why I'm following up right now because FDX is starting to show some signs that I am liking. So we talked about in yesterday's video just to break it down very quickly. And obviously, for all the new viewers out there, I'll talk about it in this video. But overall FedX, it's very clear that it's been down trending over the past six months. And if we go to the one year one day chart, it's pretty much been the past year at this point, right? Ever since literally one year ago back in July, August of 2018, you know, we've dumped very aggressively since that point in time. And going back to the 184 hour, we're noticing now that we're breaking out of the 180 SMA, which has been of resistance over the past couple of months. And now we're starting to test the 170 level, which was once a support. And once we broke that support back in June, May, June, you know, that became a resistance level, right? And that is the level we're testing right now. And this is actually a spot that we've test on three other occasions, once, twice, three times, where we've gotten rejected each and every time. So I'm thinking now, guys, if we break out here, that's going to be an extremely bullish move. Since again, we've struggled four different times, three different times rather. And from there, you know, we could potentially fill the gap up to 175 or rather $185 potentially here, which offers about a 78% margin of profit. So technically right now, guys, FDX is just, you know, it's just on the brink of breaking out right now. It's like right there, it is right there. And one side that I'm seeing, you know, that I'm liking right now is the big gap up that we saw this morning. I'm really liking that. That's showing us a bit of, you know, momentum shift to the upside here. We, you know, broke the 170 resistance momentarily. We failed to hold it. But now we're actually holding that 50 SMA support on the intraday chart. We're actually breaking a bit below it now. So ideally, I'd need to see a recovery up at some point today, and maybe a close above 170 before even considering FDX. But I am liking the movement that we are seeing. And you guys can see we are slowly holding that. So if we were to pop and, you know, start to trend up to 171, maybe pull back and close above 170, you know, that would just be absolutely ideal in my opinion right now. And FDX at that point, I think it's going to break out. So I'm watching that FDX, DPZ and intc. Those are the three stocks that I'm personally watching right now to swing trade and a bonus stock that it's not looking too good technically right now, you know, but it looks like it is starting to break out. This could be the first breakout sign for this stock. Mo is the ticker. And the signal is that we broke above this 180 SMA. This is typically what I like to watch for, you know, for stocks that are downtrending, right? For them to reverse to start to uptrend, you know, the first thing they have to do is break a moving average resistance, right? Because typically when a stock is downtrending, the moving averages, in this case, the green and the yellow line, they're acting as resistances, right? So the first sign of a break out of those resistance levels, you know, that opens my eyes and I'm like, okay, this could be the start of an uptrend, right? And we're seeing that on Mo. We can see, see if I can draw a channel on this for you guys very quickly. And this is a bonus stock, by the way, this is another one that I'm actually long on Mo. They pay a really nice dividend. They pay like a 6% dividend at this point. I'm long on them. But I figured, you know, a swing trade on this would be a pretty cool, pretty interesting thing to break down. And because I don't really look at stocks like Mo, like some of these longer term stocks, I don't really trade them in my swing trading and day trading accounts. I usually just like to buy them in my dividends account. But anyway, you guys can see based on this channel, again, we've been downtrending lower lows, lower highs, all of that jazz. And now we're breaking out of the channel, we're breaking out of the resistance and this 180 SMA. And this is mostly because Philip Morris PMI, Philip Morris International. And for those of you guys who don't know, Altria is a tobacco company. And Philip Morris International is also a tobacco company, right? Altria does business in the United States, right? That's their focus for the Marlboro cigarette brand. And Philip Morris International focuses on, you know, the rest of the global population, right, wherever they end up selling. But Philip Morris, you guys can see these stocks are they're kind of when one does well, the other one spikes up in a sense, right? And Philip Morris reported an earnings report a couple days ago, and the stock went up like 10% in the day, I believe 8, 9, 10% it's up from that point. And that obviously, because tobacco sales, cigarette sales, for those of you guys that don't know, they've been doing quite poorly over the past couple of years. And once, you know, some good news comes out for one of these tobacco companies, since there's been a lot of just onslaught and negative news, once some news comes out that's good, right, that influences the stock, right?  And you guys can see it on the five day five minute, you know, this I think this is the day that Philip Morris reported, you know, from 4950, we gapped up literally like 34%. And that's the move that broke us out of that channel. So I'm interested in seeing, you know, if we hold this and start to run up from here, this could be a point in time that could open up a quite nice entry point at quite nicely, quite nice entry point here for Altria, right? And if we're just drawing out some resistances, you guys can see, you know, if we fill the gap from 50 to 52 up to 55, that could end up offering, you know, 5%, 10% margin there. So that's one that I'm watching for sure, J&J is dropping a lot right now, it's down another $2 1.52% at the time that I'm recording this video, you guys can see, it's a straight down trend, not looking like it's returning. And, you know, those are just a couple that I'm watching guys, you know, Netflix 30792 straight down trend, it's still down about $80 since before the earnings report, not looking like it's recovering at all right now, Amazon's another one that I'm watching right if we go to the 184 hour, it needs to hold this level, which it seems like it is above 1950 to 1960, as a support to fill the gap up to $2,000 before me even considering to trade it, you know, the gap fill could be a tradable event there if that does end up happening, but we need to break out of this 50 SMA on a 20 day one hour chart first before we could end up, you know, trend trading it on based on the data on the longer term chart. So that's it for this video guys, I don't want to have it be too too long, but that's kind of my thoughts right now, that's things that I'm watching stocks that I'm watching and points that I'm looking to enter on all of these different stocks Amazon 1985 would be my entry point that would be once we break that 50 SMA here on the 20 day one hour chart so if you enjoyed this video guys feel free to go down below hit that like button feel free to subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so already drop a comment down below let me know what you are watching in terms of stocks ETFs what are your thoughts on the markets I would love to know and if you haven't done so already guys join our StriveSmart discord group chat join our StriveSmart Facebook group all of those links are linked down below I'll catch you all in the next video thanks again for taking the time to watch this it means a lot peace out what's up everybody


Now this is where we talk about taking inspiration from everywhere. This is something this morning I went to your Publix over there And I'm walking through I used to stock shelves at a grocery store third shift And I walked in there this morning before anybody's awake in Miami. I think is what happened. No one's shopped yet But this is what they do all night and this is I look at this stuff and how perfect that is and then you think about your salon shelf and And what your retail looks like right I tell all my stuff I want the products jumping off the shelf like they're almost ready to fall off right so somebody will catch them and then take Them to the front counter and buy them right that it should be the same way They put their most popular brands in this center They put more expensive stuff up top. It's just like liquor right more expensive stuff up top And then the new stuff or whatever is you know not selling so well It gets pushed towards the bottom because they want everything I level so this is an art That happens I Mean they don't pay you well. That's why I don't do it anymore, but it is really cool It's a cool thing and I walked in there today, and I was like that is perfect It's cool looking the next thing. This is what John was talking about This is the leaderboard for who drank the most beers ever or something. I don't know somebody drank 2,000 Somebody hit 2,200 yesterday, right? Yeah while we were there they ring a bell They get all excited and I don't we don't have this place in Pennsylvania So I don't know I've never seen this you guys make go there all the time. I don't know but This is cool and right away. I start thinking about the salon Everything I see I I didn't come up with anything. I'm talking about today. I I see things everywhere And I try to transfer into my life So I don't look at who drank the most beers to me This is who had the most services or who had the most visits for the year and then I start a ranking that way So then I get guests that want to beat somebody else We have a chalkboard in the salon and that's what I'm gonna turn this into because I think it's cool So who had the most services for the year done? We're gonna make that happen when we get home today So, you know just take inspiration from everything you see These companies and salons are hard because we don't have money to market We don't have a lot of extra cash laying around to go hire a marketing company But these guys already hired a marketing company That came up with this idea and now I can just take it It didn't cost me anything and transfer it into what we do, right? So utilize all these companies that you see doing things doing fun things on the reason my whole Loyalty program stuff. I posted on the windows of the salon and everything and I took that from do you guys have pet boys? the auto place So one day I was walking out of pet boys and I saw this huge Sign that was talking about rewards and loyalty and I just I took a picture of it And I went home and that's how I designed the entire look of what it was You know, I gave it our little kind of edge or whatever to fit our salon But I took the wording right from it somebody already paid somebody to do that You know and now I just have to reword it and make it salon friendly But then I don't have to spend a lot of time on it. So just take inspiration from everything that you see


Welcome back to the 21th Convention 2019 of Warsaw, Poland. Our next speaker will be giving his fourth ever presentation at the 21th Convention live event. His first one being in Orlando, Florida, way back in 2011. He spoke later in 2012 in Austin, Texas, and at our 10-year anniversary special event in Orlando, Florida, 2017. He's an author for many years, many years, over a well over a decade at FreeTheAnimal.com, and he is the man responsible for this hat being on my head. Without further ado, please allow me to welcome back to the stage Richard Nicolai. Thank you, sir. Thanks, sir. All right, gentlemen, it is fun to be here by a show of hands. How many of you have not yet partaken of a chunk of meat the city has to offer? All right, no hands up.  So we're here in Poland, and as Anthony said, I've spoken, this will be my fourth time, and not taking away anything from the other 16 events. I'd like to say that, man, this place is the right time at the right place, right place at right time. I got that backwards. So a little note of appreciation for our host. What a great country, you know. I am just really enjoying it here. How about yourselves? Is this just... Yes. And another note of appreciation goes out to Mr. Anthony Dream Johnson himself, 17th. What a movement he's created, and everybody knows about, you know, the drama that's taken place over the past few months, which Socrates in the kickoff presentation yesterday framed it very well. I want to add one thing to that, is all of that drama just shows how needed this men's movement is that Anthony is driving forward. Little round of applause for our host here. I mean, I saw so much girly behavior in the reactions for that. It was just, it's like, wow, this is more needed now than ever. Okay, so let's jump into it, see how this works here. As he said, I'm Richard Nicolai. There's two ways to find me online, freetheannibal.com, facebook.com, Richard.Nicolai. So let's start with doing a big justification. Let's do a 30,000-foot view here. That's the way it used to be, classic. And I could, you could use a, you know, get any Renaissance painting, for example. You know, you'll find stuff like this. The men, the woman, the family in their traditional roles there, right? And you're going to hear a lot, I'm going to reference this a lot. A lot of people have heard this thing called the slippery slope. How many have heard about the slippery slope, right? The slippery slope fallacy, what it is is that if, you know, someone proposes an idea to change an idea and someone raised an objection and says, oh no, you do that, then it's going to go to this, going to go to this, going to slide down the slippery slope. It's called the slippery slope fallacy. It's not a formal fallacy, but it's, because it's not really technically an argument against an idea, but people use it a lot. Well, I have, there's so many instances now where I look around and I say, wow, it's not the slippery slope fallacy. It's a slippery slope fallacy fallacy. In other words, it's a fallacy in itself because I see so many things that have slid all the way down. So if we're talking feminism, slid all the way down. If you can see the picture, it's a, you know what, one, two, three, four, five, you know, tattooed, pierced, sluts, essentially, right? Feminists, yeah. Anti-man, anti-woman, anti-family, anti-civilization, all right. I'm going to take this history of feminism breaking into four things. Emancipation, we'll get into each individual, but there's, there's what it's going to be. We're just going to, you can break it up into however many you want, but we're going to do four. Now, I was searching around and I stumbled on this, this website called historyoffeminism.com. It's no longer updated. It was, you know, a few years back in 2013, 14. But I thought, man, there's some pretty good quotes in there. So I stole a couple. Feminism exists as a defender of the selfish, sexual, and reproductive interests of aging and or unattractive women, right? This is its entire raison d'etre, reason for being. The reason it first came into existence with the social purity movement reformers of the 19th century, led by their Herod and battle cry, armed with the ballot, the mothers of America will legislate morality. And indeed, they have. Okay, now, so let's, let's look way back.  And when we talk emancipation of women, we're talking, you know, like ancient cultures where that still exists to, to, to some extent in some parts of the, of the world or religions of the world, I should say, without naming names where women are essentially property, you know, they can be bought and sold, they can be killed, they can be raped, right? As a matter of law. All right, so, so I'm calling this valid. I mean, we don't want, we don't want women to be treated that way. So adult women, they're no longer property, as I was saying. And then we have certain things like with the renaissance and then the enlightenment where we start to wake up to the values of women in society as more or less equal, at least in a social marriage setting with their spouses, right? And they become a focus of art.  So all of these ideals that came about from something that was pretty much like a slavery situation before. And then, you know, we have the Victorian era where women become a target of gentlemanliness. I mean, that's why gentlemanliness, you know, came about, really. Although, you know, men are gentlemen to one another as well, but it's in a different context. And also chivalry, women and children first, right? Where did that come about? So these are basic emancipation things for women. And I say that that's a good thing, right? But then we go to pressure and control the competition, which goes to motivation. Okay, so what, when, when, when the whole feminine, remember this, the slide with the long quote about how it was a way for women who are getting older, less desirable to start controlling the marketplace. So you have things like advocacy for restrictions on prostitution.  They raise the age of consent from 12 to 16, 18 in some places, right?  Okay, so the next step in the history is equality under the law. And remember, you know, the emancipation, I said valid.  Some's good, some's okay, some's not so good, right?  You know, we want women to be versed in the three R's, read and write and arithmetic, right? There's no reason why they should not be able to have contracts like men can. No reason they shouldn't be able to own property. But these are basic human rights, really, right? And even separation of divorce rights, right? But not the slippery slope, fallacy fallacy, that has become today. We'll talk about that more. Suffrage, now, I tend to think the, what was it, the 19th Amendment, which happened 100 years ago, I happen to think it's a disaster. But at the same time, cat's out of the bag. You ain't going to do nothing about that, right? So at the end of this, we'll have some practical things, I think, that can ameliorate the situation, right? Women aren't going to like to hear it, but there's none here, at least as attendees. Sorry, Georgia's girlfriend, I see you back there. Okay, so, you know, and then it creeps, okay, now they can vote. So of course, since they can vote, they're going to be holding political office, right? And what are they going to tend to do when they hold political office? They're going to work for, not family issues, well, they call them that, right? They're going to work for their own interests that are separate from their husbands, from their parents, from their household, from even their children, right? They become judges. So now they get to the slope, start sliding, right? Judges, and so they get to essentially make laws, set precedent over cases, and many, many of the family law courts are womaned by female judges now. How do you think that's going to work, right? And they've entered into many traditional male roles in the workforce. And of course, the most prominent time when this began happening is with World War II. So think of that as a consequence of another, just another social consequence cost of war is you have all these women piling in. We're going to talk about the economic part of feminism here in just a bit, well, a little while. And then of course, since they're in the workforce, then eventually they're going to be managers in the workforce, right? And how many of you have heard from women that say they cannot stand working for a female manager? All of us have heard that. OK, now, I love this quote because when we talk about feminism and the way it works, I'm thinking it's like a union, right? All for one, one for all. The history of feminism is the history of a female sexual trade union, growing in political power in exact correspondence with the steady loss of female sexual power caused by the continual widening of the sexual market. The opening up of the sex market, ever increasing opportunities for men to gain access to cheap and anonymous sex is the result of constantly emerging new technology and itself completely out of the hands of feminists or anybody else to control or put a stop to. So a lot of these feminist initiatives are thought to have actually liberated women when the exact opposite has been the case in practice. Because what it has done is it's liberated men to have a much higher, better picking grounds, whatever. Think about it. And it's not only feminism's fault, it's also just a consequence of modernity. And a guy used to be in a rural setting like on a farm or in a small town community, he couldn't screw around. Number one, everybody would know about it. And number two, whoever he's screwing around with, he risk getting killed by the uncles or the brothers of that woman. So urbanization and all these things have really liberated men. And feminism is this effort to keep the cat in the bag. The cat's out of the bag. So that's the history. Now we have the cancer. And it has emerged with, excuse me, metastasis or metastasis, however you wish to. Metastasis is a pathogen. This is actually the true definition, but look how nicely it fits with the cancer of feminism. Metastasis is a pathogenic agent spread from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site within the host body. And in the body politic society at large, the family and everything, it's infecting everything. The cancer is growing and it's metastasizing. Many of you, some of you maybe know Kurt Doolittle, Properitarianism. The female of our species or more correctly, the female mind in our species is extremely susceptible to individual psychosis and solipsism. Solipsism is the idea that whatever is in your mind is the reality. And even more so, herd panic, trend and consensus, and verbalizing those behaviors by drama, outburst, disapproval, shaming, ridicule, rallying, gossiping and reputation destruction that never ceases. How's that for a mouthful? Love it, cause it's so apt. Every one of you have been in some sort of relationship probably when that strikes, that rings true to you. Okay, just like with the history of breaking the cancer of feminism into four things. Ideological, political, activist, economic and market driven.  Solipsism as I just mentioned and defined in Kurt Doolittle's quote. It's the primacy of feelings and emotions. Now, it's well known that men tend towards a more rash they had to, they had to run survival for we evolved that way. They have to understand that that sky spells danger or those animal tracks spell danger. That smoke smells danger, right? That the migration of the species may spell danger. Where are they going, why? Where are they coming from? Where are they going to, why? It could spell starvation. Men had to take care of this stuff and they just, it didn't matter what they felt about it. Just didn't, right? But, and it's perfectly fine because of women's nurturing roles and everything that they tend towards a bit more emotional, empathetic and so on. They have children to raise and it's a task and you have to deal with, I mean, kids are crazy emotional, right? So there needs to be some way to somebody who's expert at it, I guess. You could say, right? But the thing is when they become primacy, it's very much related to solipsism. It's like, you ever hear women talk so often? It's like, well, I feel, I feel. Men are more likely to use words like, I think or I judge, you know? Judge is a perfectly, I judge this. I think this. I estimate this. Eschew the word feeling in your speech. I feel like, I just feel, I just feel, use feelings for like, man, that steak made me feel really good, you know? Or, or, or that movie made me feel really good. Something like that. Or this made me feel really bad. But these are just, these are just your own personal states. It's not how you feel about, you know, the, what you have to do to survive doesn't matter. I use this word a lot, hubris. That's probably one of the things that annoys me about feminism more than anything. You know, you know, if you say, well, I just feel this, I just feel this. You know, I desire this. I would like you to do this, da, da, da, da, da. That's fine.  No, you're feeling, right? So that annoys me. So it comes down to that self, everybody's selfish to some extent. And to some extent there's a virtue to that. Everybody needs to take care of themselves, right? Right? But there's, but there's like this, this, this tendency to what I call sacrificial, it's selfishness that isn't just looking out for yourself to the extent that you should be. Keep yourself healthy to keep your, your relationships healthy and so on. Sometimes you have to say no. Sometimes you have to be a little selfish. It's a sacrificial selfishness where you're getting others to harm themselves for your benefit.  So that's the ideological part of feminism. And like I say, all of these things, all of these things might very well be to some extent just, just the way the female is, just the way women are, right? It's the unbridled nature of it, which feminism encourages and has it, it's like a chain reaction, blows out of control, the slippery slope fallacy fallacy. Okay, political cancer. Too much is never enough. Now I started using these two phrases here, inch mile and the old have your cake and eat it too. Right? Started using these quite some time back in reference to not just feminists, a lot of the leftist political agenda and it started resonating because I see other people using it too. I think Anthony even used it in an interview we did some months back, he referenced it. So it's like, so it's just kind of a re-statement of the whole slippery slope fallacy fallacy. I told you I was gonna reference that quite a bit. So you know, so you give in, right? It's not good. Okay, great. No, they don't even thank you. There's no show of appreciation. It's like, well, no, it's not enough. We want this. You see it every day in the news.  So in other words, they don't want it, they feminism tends toward this kind of, there's no negotiation, right? We're gonna have this, but we're not gonna trade it off with anything else. We want it all. If the song goes, it's just never gonna be enough. Then there's the activist cancer, the worst part of feminism. It's puberty, it's ugliness.  So we've gone from where, you know, the idea with suffrage, the 19th amendment, is like, well, okay, if we as a family have these political ideals, whether we're more liberal or whether we're more conservative or whatnot, then, you know, there's two votes in the family instead of just one, right? But now it's gone to where they vote, they vote, from voting in league with their husbands and family, you know, could be their relatives as well, to replacing them with the government, right? So in other words, they're working at odds against their own traditional roles because feminism has told them that their traditional roles are bad and wrong, right? Abortion to infanticide. I mean, if you're in the U.S., you've seen all these states now passing along. Basically, you can slice up the baby as it's coming out of the womb, you know?  So that's a big, fat lie, right? Most of them are for convenience, right? Now, hell, you know, I was supportive for a very, very long time, right? But I thought, okay, it's gonna be reasonable. I've even had girlfriends that had an abortion, you know? But in every single case, they had one, they had it very, when they were very young, young and dumb, and they had it early, like it's pretty much as soon as they found out, and they never did it again, right? But now it's not enough, it's an inch mile. So it's gotta be later and later and later and later to where even people like me, or even who are more liberal about it, are saying, wait a minute, this is ridiculous. And then you have these parade of feminists now who say, I'm proud I had an abortion, or two, or three. And some even say, I wish I never had an abortion, I wish I had, you know? So it's like the greatest thing in life you can do is having an abortion. I'm not gonna get into when life begins, or fetus, or infant, or killing. Well, it's a killing, that's for sure, but whether it's murder, you know? But certainly, you gotta make, you gotta question when, where is this thing? Okay, see if I can, oops, uh-oh, Anthony, oh. I messed it up, sorry. Very sorry. Sorry about that, I won't mess with it again.  So legitimate means to dissolve these divorces is certainly a modern civilizational thing to do, and an emancipation for both men and women so that you're not locked into a relationship that you just hate for life, right? But it's gone from that to where the legalities involved have evolved to where it's initiated, most divorces, it's about half of marriages in the US end in divorce, and the vast majority of those, I think it's upwards of 70% of the divorces are initiated by women, and oftentimes they're initiated because she can cash in, right?  She can, with child support, alimony, and all these other laws, right? She can really go to town, so that's another where the slippery fallacy fallacy is gone. And so if you have a divorce and there's kids involved, you know, some sort of shared custody would certainly be a good idea so that the kids get to see both parents, right? But in so many cases it's evolved into, it's slid down into what's pretty much kidnapping now with the help of the family courts run by feminist women sitting on the benches. All comes, what goes around comes around. And employment too, you know? We're gonna talk about women in the workforce, but, and that's another, well, if a woman wants to work, why not let her, and she should be able to advance in the company and so on and so forth, right? But then with the employment laws, sexual harassment, da-da-da, all driven by feminists. So it's gone from a basic at-will employment, right?  So employing, in many cases for many companies, employing women is tantamount to having a Trojan horse and you're gonna have a treason from the inside in similar vein to what recently happened with the 21 drama, right?  What a great legacy, right? So I just shortened this presentation by a thousand words. All right, now, interesting little anecdote here, personal anecdote. Paul Stiles wrote this book in 2005, Is the American Dream Killing You? And Paul's an old Navy buddy of mine. In fact, Monday after I leave here, I'm gonna, he lives in Spain, I'm gonna meet up with him and we're gonna hike around in the Alpijara of Southern Spain for a week. So my next section here is built on chapter two of this book. Here's the opening paragraph. It's 1950 and the market is not happy. From the summit of the economic system, it stares down upon America with a jaundice eye. America's most important resource, its labor force, is incredibly unproductive. For one simple reason, most women aren't employed. Homemakers work, of course, but they don't get paid for it, which means they add nothing to the GDP, gross domestic product, and without a salary, very important, and without a salary, the market has no control over, you know, bear with him, he's anthropomorphizing the market here, clearly, but it's for an effect, it's to create an illustration. Without a salary, the market has no control over them at all. The market cannot fire them, promote them, or move them to where it needs them the most. All devoid of relationship with a man, relationship with the kids, the family unit. They're basically off the economic grid. What an enormous opportunity cost. Meltdown, the market versus the nuclear family, that's the title of his chapter two in that book, is the American Dream Killing Him. It's, if you look at it, when women started entering the workforce, and you start sizing up from that last quote, when they got into the market, when they became productive, productive members of the society, that can be accounted for, in terms of gross domestic product, dollars and cents, productivity, right?  Both parents working, about two thirds or more of women work, and most of them work full time. So what kind of pressures does this put on the family, right? So if you compare it to where in traditional family, dad goes to work, mom stays home, makes a home, that's why they call them home makers. She took care of the kids. All this serves, so that the husband can, she's got it handled. I can focus on my work, or my business, whichever the case may be. I can advance in my career, because I don't have these other pressures. She's got it handled, she's great. So I get to advance in the career, so I make more of my business. I make more money, make more money. And soon, it was silly that we'd ever considered that she would work. Now he's bringing in plenty of money, so that if they're frugal, they can work, they can have a household, they can have a household. But the economy needs women, because when women went to work, imagine all of the new industries that had to crop up for the sake of productivity and a growing economy. You have to have more dry cleaners. You have to have ready to eat meals. You have to have instant this and instant that. You have to double automobile production, because now you have to have two cars. All of this benefits the economy. Oh, it's great. Look at how much our economy grew, at what cost? The cost of the family, the family unit. Think about it. Think about all the things. Service businesses. Now you have to have carpet cleaners and window washers. We could make lists all day long about what you need to have so that you have a robust, growing economy that's the envy of the world. Well, our family units aren't the envy of the world. There's a hell of a lot of poor countries who don't envy our families. So all this thing breaks a lot of traditional bonds. It breaks the marital bond, right? She's at work. He's at work. They both come home. They're both stressed out, right? Instead that she gets to, she has kind of, she's like her in business for herself, her own business. Homemaker. She gets to run that. She gets to run that. Everything's calm. She's got everything handled. She knows how to deal with every situation. She's got no boss. Not in a real sense, right? Especially if she's good. She's actually gonna have a client. It's called her husband, right? And then he comes home and instead of a traditional role where he comes home to a refuge that she has created. So he can go, whew, kick back, leave the work at the work. Enjoy this refuge so that when he goes the next day, he's ready to pop on it again. He's not stressed.  Cause they got home and all they could do, you know, and she was late, you know, take some TV dinners out of the freezer, you know? Let's sit in front of the TV, watch them. Give the kids an iPad to babysit them. In this sense, Paul calls it the Wall Street marriage, you know? It's almost like a merger and marriage is a merger and acquisition.  We'll be able to get more stuff. You know, and it was perfectly fine for women to say, well, I want to marry him. He makes a good salary. He's got a secure job that makes me feel safe and secure. That's a valid thing for a woman to feel. And worst of all is the parental bond. You don't have the one parent. Even if you're in a nontraditional where the woman works in the dads at home, that's better than both of them being off at work. And then they come home, they're pissed off because they don't have a great relationship and the kids are annoying. Kids are at each other's throat, sit down in the TV, TV babysitter, and now here's an iPad. You don't even know what your kids are doing on it because you don't know how to work all those parental controls. And then, you know, for the little tykes, you know, the hatchery and conditioning center, which the conditioning center goes on and on and on, right? Because only kooks homeschool their kids. Only kooks who, where the husband works and the wife stays at home and she's a homemaker and a school teacher both. And she collaborates with other similar women. So they kind of have their own little cottage school, right? No, send them to daycare. And then when that's done, send them to school babysitting for indoctrination. So you see how our demand to have a robust and growing economy that's the end of the world comes at a huge cost. And feminism, that's where it becomes what's called market feminism, right? So, you know, feminism isn't all, only about the ideology. It isn't only about the solipsism. It isn't only about the man, the misandry, the man hating. It's partly about that. But it's also partly about being a shareholder in this great economy. You're an actual shareholder now, right? Stakeholder, shareholder, right? Where to now? Where do we go? Now this is a practical part of the thing. You know, can't repeal the 19th amendment. That's just silly, you know? We can't, there's a lot of laws that are already there that are just gonna be there. You just have to contend with them. So it's about education, right? Who goes first? The guys. Cause you gotta take responsibility. Somebody's gotta step up and take some responsibility. Okay, what do men do to help turn this around? At least in their own lives. Attend 21 convention events and subscribe to watch the many videos. Now that's a second or third plug for Anthony so far today, so. All right. I've been saying this for years. Don't, to young people. Don't go to college. Get a job or start a business.  You know, probably gonna need some schooling then, right? You imagine. You say the student debt is crazy. Imagine if you just got out of high school or even you dropped out of high school, right? As soon as you have a good idea, you test it and like this can work.  Be financially frugal. Huge lesson for young people to learn. And if you have parents, how are they gonna learn that?  What kind of financial fricality are the kids gonna learn from that? Do it like they did in the old days. The guy saves money so he can get married and start a family. Imagine that. How outlandish. How old fashioned. How silly, all right? Marry a young woman who wants to have and raise kids and is from such a family and holds such family values.  Unless she's very outlier and special and knows exactly what's screwed up and why it's screwed up and wants to marry a good man because she doesn't want to repeat that cycle. But that's gonna be rare. Then you live within your means that allow her to stay home, to raise kids and support your career or business growth and advancement. This is about maturity. This is about what Socrates talked about yesterday. This manosphere, this red pill movement, maturing out of just getting your willy wet into taking some real manning up, taking some real man responsibility. Gotta have man friends. Noah's gonna talk about that, I bet. You gotta have man friends, but you want to develop bonds with other family men. Even if you're not yet, so that you know how to do it before you've actually done it, right? Leave the boys to the boys. Get serious, get serious, take on responsibility, marry a good woman, have a family. It's like humanity, man, humanity. Hugh, man, it's he, 101. Okay, I'm glad there's no women here.  Now, this is slightly tongue-in-cheek, expressly because it's not a mixed audience. So slight tongue-in-cheek, but not too much, right? Okay, so yeah, not necessarily shut up, but listen, that's a better way to put it. Listen, listen to what these feminists are saying. Listen to what they're trying to get you to do. Listen to what you're being encouraged to do and assess how compatible it is with having a good relationship with a responsible man. And a great family that you have made a home for. So listen to who's encouraging you to do what. And the reason I'm saying you is because I'm sure women are gonna, once this gets up on the web, women are gonna be seeing this presentation. So I do want to be constructive, ladies. So root out the drama. I know you can't root it out completely. Root out the drama, outburst, disapproval, shaming, ridicule, rallying, gossiping, and repot, reputation, destruction of your husbands. And if you recall, that's from Kurt Doolittle's quote that I put up earlier. Look up gaslighting and learn it and stop it. Be a stay-at-home mom with only other women friends who are stay-at-home moms, who support the careers and businesses of their husbands. You don't get women friends.  It's like the victim Olympics. Who wins by having the worst husband that you chat about. Very undermining, very destructive. Now a trigger warning here. Vote the way your husband tells you to or don't vote at all. One family, one vote. And there's your solution to the 19th Amendment problem, incidentally, right? And look, you can even make a deal with your husband. If we can't agree to, you know, you can negotiate. That's another kind of tongue-in-cheek. I'm not saying don't discuss it, don't negotiate. Maybe you can have throwaway issues. Like, and if the husband is clever, lets the wife vote against him on all these silly things that don't matter, right? But you vote the same or agree to both not vote if you can't agree. But, and this is the important one. Never ever vote for public policy that undermines men as husbands and fathers or undermines families in general. I mean, it's the stupidest thing. Well, I can vote, right? So I'm gonna vote about this and this and this. Well, you know, look at any chart. I should have put a chart up here about social, the creeping socialism, the slippery slope, fallacy fallacy of socialism. It's like, oh, it's never gonna get that bad. Well, look at where it really starts to take off 100 years ago with the 19th Amendment. Because that's when feminism got its first major huge victory.  Because she likes that safety and security, right? It's like, ah, screw it. I'm just gonna have society in general do it for me. Well, okay, well, then what happens? It's like, oh, well, that's not quite enough. I wanna be able to divorce, rape my husband and kidnap the kids too. Okay, then what happens, you know, the progression, the slippery slope sliding all the way down. Okay, here's a caveat, bone toss for the ladies out there. The women who were red-pilled before boyfriends and husbands. Well, if your boyfriend's not, if you're red-pilled and your boyfriend isn't red-pilled, I'm gonna change that to get rid of, dump him. Go find a red-pilled boyfriend. Or if your husband isn't the soy boy, feminist, socialist, whatever, then now, fourth shout out to Anthony. You need to refer them to the 21 Empire Incidentor right away, get them there, and find other people. Even find any of the past speakers. Find somebody who can talk some sense into the sky, right? I thought I wasn't gonna give you the definition. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying. It attempts to destabilize the target and legitimize the target's belief. That's kind of a form of all these traits that we talked about that women tend to have when they get blown out of proportion by a cancer-like feminism. There we go. I think we have a few minutes here. If anyone has a question or two. For stay-at-home moms, what do you think if she's a schoolteacher? Take Stardust School Teaching business in the neighborhood. Incidentally, my former wife was a 35-year schoolteacher. I understand the value of it. She was good. When I first met her 25 years ago, it was very common when we were out and about in town for these big guys. She'd been teaching by then, by like 18, 20 years, right? Fifth grade, sixth grade.  That's how well-liked she was. Happened very frequently. But what we're trying to do here is to not only halt the tide, but we want to get something back. We want to rebuild families. And there's many ways to do it, right? So I'm offering, I could have designed this in any way, but I wanted a very general view so you kind of have a sense of, well, how do we get here? And then the practical side of what some of the things we can do about it, but my lists aren't exhaustive. Anyone can have great ideas. I welcome them. Anyone else? Any other questions? Any other, oh, there's one. Yeah, just curious, with the suffrage issue, I agree with what you say in terms of either voting along with the male partner or simply not, you know, a lot of voices in the megtal community are constantly tripping on about taking away that suffrage right. Do you think that's feasible in this? No, no, I'd mention that in the press. It's non-starter as an idea. It's kind of like people who dabble in conspiracy theories, which I call secrets too big to keep.  It's just not gonna happen, right? Even if you're pro-slavery. It doesn't, it's just dumb. So what you have to do is do stuff that's actionable, that you can take responsibility for and put some of the actionable elements into play that actually get some results that you can measure, right? Anyone else? Okay, so I have this question about this. When you talk about the ideological cancer, like solipsism and feelings over facts and so on, and you talk, that's a female way of thinking, but I notice that's exactly the way that the radicalized left and the social justice warriors, that's exactly how they think and they feel and they act, but they're also a hell of a lot of men in those groups. So what's your take on that? Yeah, yeah, oh, absolutely, I agree 100% with you. There's, you know, when I say feminism, I'm not saying women.  And that's a growing thing too, it's awful. I mean, it's actually worse really in some respects than the females because females are just, they're kind of operating from their own basic survival strategy, it's just blown way out of proportion and it's so rewarded in society, but there's no damn excuse for men doing it. Absolutely none, right? We should bring, there should bring hanging back. Since we're talking about the 19th Amendment and slavery and everything, let's bring hanging back. All right, anyone else? All right, let's give it up. Yep, okay, good. Richard Nicolai. Thank you very much.


I am Dr. Shilpa Ramachandra, consultant radiologist at Manipal Hospital with special interest in breast imaging. October is the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This month is not just for the Dasara festivities. It is also time to put in some extra effort to raise the breast cancer awareness. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and it is the leading cancer in Indian women as well.  The worrying trend is more and more younger people are being affected with poorer outcomes. Self breast examination is easy and there is no cost attached to it. With self breast examination, the common symptoms of breast cancer such as a lump in the breast or the armpit, nipple retraction, nipple discharge, skin thickening, redness of the skin or dimpling of the skin can be identified. Mammograms are low dose x-rays of the breast designed to detect the abnormalities within. Several studies have shown that regular mammograms reduces the death rate by up to 40%. The breast cancer treatment has evolved and improvised over many years and the treatment is very much individualized. Ultrasound is a very common modality to evaluate the breast problems in women. The advantage is that it does not involve any radiation. It is a very useful modality to assess any symptoms the ladies come with and also the abnormalities seen on the mammogram. One should not confuse that ultrasound can replace the mammogram. Ultrasound will never replace a mammogram. Ultrasound is always complementary to mammogram. We use high resolution linear probes to assess the breast problems. It helps to pick up abnormalities which are even in millimeters. Ultrasound is extremely helpful and commonly used to do the breast biopsies. It helps the doctor to guide the needle into the right area and take the sample so that we can get accurate diagnosis. Early detection saves lives. You have the power to save your own life and I insist you just do that.

dramatic pictures that follow, we show the inside story of the FFI, fighting for the liberation of the French capital. Right up to zero hour, everything seemed normal. Paris, on the surface, was evidently still firmly held by the Germans. Then, at zero hour, the art of strike approached, the streets became empty and ominously quiet. The hush before the storm. Then the storm broke. Paris tore down the hated signs of German rule. During four years, they'd suffered a multiplicity of German signs and posters and proclamations. Now at last, before the arrival of help from outside, the people of the city rose to wipe out this humiliation. The building of barricades was an opening move in the plan to isolate units of the Bosch Garrison. Don't be misled by the lack of uniforms into supposing the battle of Paris was an impromptu affair. Every man and every woman of the whole great underground organization had precise orders. It was a fight for the liberty of the people by the people. The Hotel de Ville was used as headquarters. The police, who'd previously gone on strike, were now formed into a battle unit. They had as great a desire to rid Paris of the Bosch as any other citizen. The prefect, Missé Loissat, is among other chiefs of the FFI whose leader is Missé Bidot. Some of them with their staff are seen here at headquarters. The underground army of Paris, after years of patient training and planning, had gone into action. The Nazis were in action too. They had tanks and all the rest of it. And they fought back as we shall see. People of Paris fought at the barricades. They fought at the street corners. They fought from windows and rooftops. They fought for Paris. Another German eliminated. The fight in Paris was no riot, no skirmish.  And there were many casualties, many dead and wounded among the people. The FFI had its Red Cross organization in readiness for this moment. All these pictures were taken during the course of the battle, which lasted for several days. While the fighting swayed through the streets of Paris, while the wounded were being taken to dressing stations, everywhere the Nazis were being killed or captured. The fate of Paris lay in the balance. Then came the Allied armoured spearhead, driving across the river Seine, northwest and southeast of the capital. They arrived to lend timely aid to the hard-pressed Parisians, grimly fighting from their barricades and rooftops. American troops advancing to clean out a nest of Germans holding out in the Eiffel Tower. After a brief skirmish, they surrendered. The British fighting men to enter the French capital received a tumultuous welcome from the Parisians. Four years had passed since British troops last set foot in Paris. Now they returned victorious. For Parisians, the culmination of these happy days was the entry into the city of General de Gaulle. To them, he symbolized the indomitable spirit of fighting France, the spirit he so courageously guarded during those dark years following the occupation of his country. Approaching Notre-Dame, the enemy made a last desperate move. Snipers concealed on rooftops, opened fire on General de Gaulle and his staff.  Allied soldiers who took part in the freeing of Paris participated in the rebirth of the sovereignty of free men. For in President Roosevelt's words, Paris is a precious symbol of that civilization which it was the aim of Hitler and his armed hordes to destroy.


Yeah, so it took me maybe three months to get through the entire clinic face soap. I thought it was really good. Oh, let's just take that from the top. Okay, so welcome back to my channel. My name is Nneka and this is High Black Girl, which is my channel, but a little rebranded. So essentially what we're focusing on now in 2020 and beyond is keeping it cute and securing the bag, which means I make blogs about beauty and about finance. And in today's video, as you could tell from the title, maybe if you clicked on it, we are going to be talking about this Clinique liquid face soap. My bottle is hella empty. I loved this soap and we're gonna go into a detailed review in this video. So essentially, I'm gonna be breaking down three things. First, we're gonna be going through a brand overview of Clinique, what products they make and, you know, how they even got to the status that they did as a global beauty, mobile company thing that makes a lot of money every year. And two, we're gonna be breaking down the ingredients because me personally, I've been really getting into clean beauty like what's actually in my skincare ingredients that I'm putting on my face every day. Half the time, we don't read the label. So, you know, I'm here to read the label for you. So we're gonna go over a couple of ingredients that's in this soap and then we're gonna wrap it all up. Cute little bow, just with my final thoughts on this product, if I will be repurchasing and, you know, where you can get it. So, without further ado, oh wait, wait, there is a doom. Did you, uh, subscribe me? Subscribe me? Subscribe me? Subscribe me? Just go ahead, go ahead, click that button. I'll I'll wait. It's free and it really helps me. So I feel like you should do that for me because I'm making this video for you. So subscribe. Oh, you did it? Okay, great. Now we can move on. Without further ado, let's jump right into this Clinique Facial Sense This Clinique Liquid Face Soap Review. So this face soap retails for about 1850. You can find it literally anywhere at Macy's, Sephora, Bloomingdale's, what have you. It's a prestige brand, meaning that it is sold at all major retailers that also sell expensive things. I said 1850, but I did not pay 1850. I found this bad boy at Marshall's for like $14, maybe $15. So that is why I decided to pick it up. It's honestly like when I first heard of Clinique, I thought it was like a brand for old ladies, but I was wrong. One time this girl, my roommate's friend who like would super annoyingly leave her stuff on my side of the sink. Do you hate when people do that? I'm like, you're not even my guess. Why are you leaving your stuff in my drawers? Like that's weird. Anyway, so she left her little travel bag and I saw the Clinique directly different moisturizing lotion and I was like, I'm gonna try a little bit of the lotion because you know you love your stuff and I'm just gonna use that. So I used some of the lotion and it was like amazing. So it piqued my interest in Clinique and I decided to pick up this facial soap when I saw it at Marshall's for $14. Did I mention I did not pay full price? Never pay retail ladies. We're keeping it cute and securing the bag. You don't need to pay full price for your beauty products. Not in 2020. That's not what we're doing here. So Clinique essentially is really known for their clinical formulas. That's essentially where their name Clinique comes from. And essentially they are very, very invested in making sure that all their formulations are clinically proven and targeted to heal or battle or help you with all your other skincare needs. So fittingly, this facial soap actually comes in three different formulations. One for normal skin, one for dry skin, and then, sorry, I'm just looking at my notes here. So don't mind me. I actually wrote all this up on my blog already. So if you don't want to watch this video and you would rather just read all the content that is in this video, you can just hop on over to my blog. Hiblackgirl.com. I'll link it down below as well. But essentially, as I was saying, this comes in three different formulations. One for very dry skin, one for normal skin, and then the third one for oily to combination skin. I picked up the dry combination skin, which now that I'm realizing that that is not my skin type. Let's move on. Something that really matters. The number one ingredient in this, the number one ingredient in this is water, which is essentially what you want to see in most of your soaps is water being the first ingredient. The ingredients are typically listed in order or they're not typically listed in. They're required by law to be listed in order of most concentrated to least concentrated. So the number one ingredient is going to have the most concentration of this ingredient in it, and then the number last ingredient will have the least concentration in the formulation. So always good to keep that in mind. Being the number water is number one. That means water is the largest ingredient in this soap, which is definitely what you want to look out for when you are buying any sort of cleanser cleansing product. It should definitely be, you know, mostly water unless it's something that you dilute, but usually you don't. So after water, we have a whole bunch of sulfactants. And so basically what sulfactants are chemicals that are formulated to remove dirt, oil, makeup, et cetera from the skin. So that's typically found in cleansers. So no surprise here, but one ingredient that should alarm you is the sodium morithic, sodium, sodium morithic sulfate. Say that three times fast. Some brands like honest beauty are like, we do not use this. We don't believe in it. We think it's too harsh, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. While other brands like Paula's Choice view this ingredient as okay and totally necessary. So pick your poison. This brand Clinique obviously thinks it's an okay ingredient, but other, you know, vegan and more, you know, clean beauty brands don't agree with that. So I'm just telling you the information. I didn't make any of these rules. And there's a lot of chemicals in this. So the next one is Lorda, which is another chemical sulfactant. There was another one, cocoa, but hydroxylentane, another chemical sulfactant. The fifth ingredient is sodium chloride, which is salt. So that's a great natural ingredient. It's typically used in clean beauty and skincare products, generally just to thicken the formulation of cleansers, because I guess all these chemicals are very liquidy because they're sulfactant. So there is salt in this, which is a great natural ingredient. Who would have guessed? There's tea cocoa, tea cocoa, glutamate, which is another sulfactant, butynglycol, another, oh, actually, sorry, it's not a sulfactant. It's actually an alcohol that's safe to use on the skin, according to sources. Yeah, but the ingredient that I'm the most excited about is that there is aloe vera leaf juice in this. So maybe that's why it's green. Aloe vera leaf juice is really great for the skin. It helps with any inflammation. It helps reduce irritants on the skin, like rashes, things of that nature. So that's always a really great ingredient to look for in skincare. And then the last ingredient, number 10, because I only looked at the first 10 because no one has time to look at, you know, 23,000,000 ingredients. So yeah. So the 10th ingredient, which I really, really wish was up a little higher on this list, is sau pomelo fruit extract, which is very similar to aloe vera juice. It has the same kind of cleansing properties. This is also an ingredient that's used in a lot of herbal medicine for like internal stuff. So it has the amazing topical properties as well, such as reducing inflammation, similar to aloe vera juice. And, you know, a mouse would like to clean the skin. So good things here. Great. Yeah. So out of the first 10 ingredients that I looked at, there was number one, water, which was natural. Super great. Number five, salt, also natural, super great. Number nine, aloe vera juice, which is amazing, great for, you know, reducing information in the skin. And then number 10, sau pomelo fruit extract, which is also really great for reducing inflammation on the skin. So out of the first 10 ingredients that I looked at, there was water, salt, aloe vera juice, sau pomelo. That's four. I can count. That's four ingredients that are natural, naturally occurring, naturally derivative. And then six chemical ingredients that are not natural. The choice is yours, girl. The choice is yours. So let's just jump into how I felt after using this entire bottle of Clinique face soap. So it took me about three months to get through the entire bottle of the Clinique face soap. I really think it was really, I truly honestly think that was a really good product. There's not as many natural ingredients as I would like, but Clinique is not a brand that prides itself on being, you know, natural skin care or anything of that nature. They do not prescribe to like the whole clean beauty trend and movement. They're very much a brand that's rooted in clinically based ingredients like looking to find the most effective combination for your skin. And so that leads to some chemicals being in their products, which is completely, completely totally understandable. I had amazing, great, clean, clear skin while using the Clinique face soap. Honestly, this, this brand, this line isn't even for their acne solutions. They have an entire line entitled acne solutions that deals with acne, but while using the soap, I saw a dramatic reduction in my acne. This is also around the time where I started getting into my skincare routine and actually washing my face twice a day because I was not doing that for a while. But yeah, I definitely want to say like I went from having breakouts like every week to only having hormonal breakouts like during my week at during my period and maybe like, you know, a few days before and after my period. So that really is like super game changer for me. If I were not super concerned about all the chemicals that are in there, would I repurchase this? Probably. But now that I'm kind of leaning into clean beauty and really getting into, you know, chemical free stuff, I'm going to say no for now. I'll leave this in the back burner maybe in the future. I will pick it back up again. But even more towards like the financial side of this is an expensive product. But I thought it was worth it based on the results that I got. So if you're looking for a new face soap, definitely give this a try. Um, and yeah, girl, I got more reviews coming.
