Woman’s Botched Microblading Left Her With Four Weird Eyebrows

For those of you who may not know, Microblading is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses a fine pen to essentially stain the skin with hair-like strokes to make your eyebrows appear fuller. The seemingly simple practice has gained popularity in many salons across the world. However, like any cosmetic procedure, sometimes things go horribly wrong.

Jami Ledbetter of Kansas City, Missouri recently decided to give the whole microblading trend a try after her daughters gave her a Groupon last Christmas.

Ledbetter had originally been excited about the prospect of trying out this new cosmetic trend after her daughters gave her a Groupon for the treatment last Christmas.

According to Fox4KC, the $250 Groupon was for services by a woman who claimed she was certified in microblading.

Unfortunately, the procedure didn’t exactly go as planned and the 42-year-old mom was horrified when she saw the final result.

Ledbetter’s brows were completely disfigured as if someone had conducted the treatment in the dark and blindfolded.

“I was devastated,” Ledbetter said. “I was even dating a guy, and he stopped dating me at that point.”

She was so mortified that she stopped leaving the house except to go to the grocery store.

The mom tried everything to hide the botched brow job, but nothing seemed to work.

Ledbetter then went to another woman who alleged she could “camouflage” her brows which ended up only making things worse.

“It was pretty painful,” Ledbetter said. “I tried to have a good attitude, but it burned a lot. It kind of felt bruised.”

Finally, Ledbetter was referred to Kara Gutierrez, a licensed and insured tattoo artist who owns Spot On Beauty in Lee’s Summit.

“It took everything in me to hold back tears because this is the worse I’ve ever seen,” Gutierrez said.

Her first session with Ledbetter was back in February when she began using a product known as Li-ft in order to slowly remove the unwanted pigments.

The lightening solution has to be applied in eight-week intervals.

“You want scabs so it will pull out that pigment,” Gutierrez said. “It’s very unpredictable to how much you can remove, but it works.”

“This is something that is permanent on your face,” she added. “You have to make sure your artist knows what they’re doing.”

Safe to say, we won’t be trying out microblading anytime in the near future.

Jason Momoa Shaved His Beard And I’m Not Sure How I Feel About It

Facial hair or lack thereof can have a huge impact on a man’s appearance. If you’ve ever seen before and after shaving photos, you know the transformations can be pretty insane. This is probably why we get so incredibly attached to male celebrity beards, such as the one resting upon the glorious face of Jason Momoa. Well, it used to rest there. Now, the Game of Thrones star is completely shaven and tbh, I’m still not sure how to feel about it.

When we think of Jason Momoa AKA Khal Drogo AKA Aquaman, one of the first things that comes to mind is his glorious beard.

In addition to his chiseled physique and all around grizzly manliness, of course.

But what if I told you this beast of a man no longer had his signature facial hair?

*gasp*

The Game of Thrones actor recently released a YouTube video titled “Goodbye Drogo…I SHAVED!” in which he shaves off his entire beard while talking about his latest project to help preserve the planet.

Momoa discusses replacing plastic bottles with aluminum and other efforts we can take to live more “infinitely recyclable”—doing our part to save mother earth and whatnot.

While a noble initiative. Now let’s draw our attention back to the beard, or lack thereof.

In any situation as dire as this one, I find it best to sort through my feelings in the form of a pro-con list. So, here goes.

Pros:

1. First and foremost, the obvious, he’s helping the planet.

YouTube

Gorgeous and environmentally conscious, what more could you possibly need?

2. He looks younger, which is never a bad thing.

YouTube

Flashback to his early onscreen years.

3. We can see his beautiful jawline.

YouTube

Swoon.

4. And that adorable smile.

YouTube

Be still, my heart.

Cons:

1. I fell in love with him as Khal Drogo and it’s hard for me to imagine him as anything else.

*sniff*

2. As I mentioned before, the beard added that extra rugged touch.

Getty Images

Yes, sir.

3. Not necessarily a bad thing, but he looks like a completely different man.

Getty Images / YouTube

So, there you have it—my personal insight on this whole beardless Drogo thing.

And here’s what other people had to say about the transformation:

Many were devastated.

While others felt he looks better without facial hair.

And some just love him regardless.

https://twitter.com/ashleighsylvia/status/1118811985439670272

But I think we can all agree that he’s still one of the most beautiful beings to walk this planet. Not to mention, he’s trying to save it so that’s pretty cool too.

21 Feelings All Women Can Agree Are Better Than Sex

Sex is pretty great, no secret there. However, there are some things that come pretty close—if not exceed—how good sex feels. Slipping your bra off through your shirt sleeve at the end of the day, for example, or perhaps just having the bed all to yourself without someone waking you up. These are just a few of the many things that women can agree feel better than getting down and dirty.

1. Freedom from booby prison.

2. A literary climax.

People Are Livid With Gigi Hadid For Promoting McDonald’s During Coachella

When you live your life with millions of people watching, every move you make can become the point of judgment and gossip. This is why the rich and famous have to be careful about which products/companies they choose to support. Model Gigi Hadid, for instance, is currently getting slammed for a sponsored Instagram post she did with McDonald’s.

Gigi Hadid was among the many celebrities who attended Coachella last weekend.

@gigihadid

In between watching live music, the model shared a sponsored Instagram post in which she munched down on some McDonald’s fries.

Her caption reads: “pre festival with @mcdonalds yesterday??fed & hydrated, thanks friends ! ???”

And while some commenters were in love with the post that gained over 2 million likes, others weren’t too happy to see Gigi supporting a company that “leads to obesity.”

One comment which has been liked over 2,800 times reads, “I really do not understand why you would promote McDonald’s.”

McDonald’s has yet to respond to the negative comments on Gigi’s post, but according to Politico the company is working to become a more “modern, progressive” burger chain.

People Are Sharing Their Nonsexual Moments That Are Equivalent To An Orgasm And You Might Still Get Aroused

Orgasms are great—no secret there, but every now and then there are other things in life that bring us almost as much pleasure. Say, for instance, finally scratching the itch you couldn’t get to during a meeting or gliding through five straight green lights when you’re running late for work.

These little things give us so much joy we can’t even describe. Take it from a bunch of Redditors who are sharing their nonsexual moments that feel like an orgasm and you might just find yourself a little aroused.

Fixing something on the first try without YouTube or calling your dad.

This is stupid but I will say it. When I was in middle school my dad would drop me off at school about an hour earlier than anybody else. The janitors would be the only ones there. And there was an inside concession stand in the gym that had this floor to ceiling heater. And I would sit there in front of the heater eating my chocolate donuts and chocolate milk feeling so warm and secure for about 45 mins.

I have taken pain pills before and that was the warm feeling I had back then. And now I can close my eyes and still go back to this insignificant time and get that same feeling. No one ever knew about this because I would go hang out with my friends when they got there.

A hairdresser washing your hair and massaging your scalp. Holy fuck that’s the best feeling.

When you turn the alarm off and realize there is no rush – you are on a holiday and can easily drop back to bed and sleep.

Take A Look Inside Kim Kardashian And Kanye West’s House Of Horrors

Celebrity homes tend to be fairly extravagant. When you have the money to put into your dream house, the possibilities are endless. However, not every star’s residence makes us green with envy. Kim K and Kanye’s house, for example, is probably one of the most terrifying places in California.

On Valentine’s Day, Kanye West surprised Kim Kardashian with a private performance from the one and only Kenny G who was surrounded by hundreds of roses in the couple’s home.

And while most people were focused on Kanye’s romantic gesture, we couldn’t help but feel slightly unsettled by the look of their house.

@KimKardashian

I mean, are they getting ready to sacrifice a virgin in there or what?

This isn’t the first time Kanye has shown off his $60 million castle, though. Last April, the artist posted a series of photos from deep inside the house of horrors…

@KanyeWest

Dining room or mausoleum? We’ll let you decide.

@KanyeWest

Kanye shared more photos of the torture house on Kim’s birthday.

@KanyeWest

Um, excuse me, what kind of Shining bs is happening here?

@KanyeWest

And can we talk about these horrifying decorations?

@kimkardashiansnap

Don’t even get us started on the bathroom…

@kimkardashiansnap

It looks like the beginning of a Saw movie, and I for one will not be waiting around for this guy to show up.

Of course, we aren’t the only ones who are disturbed and confused by the West house of terror.

Ariana Grande Fans Are Actually Trying To Convince People To Boycott ‘7 Rings’

Ariana Grande has had a pretty successful year so far. From the release of chart-topping ‘Thank U, Next’ to ‘7 Rings’, the 25-year-old is having no trouble making a name for herself in the music industry.

It might surprise you, though, that Grande fans are currently boycotting her second number one hit, ‘7 Rings’. But don’t worry it’s all for a good cause.

It’s no secret that Ariana Grande has been killin’ it lately.

The 25-year-old superstar snagged her first number one single in the US with popular breakup anthem, ‘Thank U, Next’.

And in a matter of months, she scored another top spot with hit track ‘7 Rings’ which has been sitting at number one for three weeks.

So, we were a little surprised to find out that fans have been hell-bent on boycotting the song.

https://twitter.com/needynic/status/1095095052727140357

At first, we assumed there was some political motivation, but it turns out that fans are actually trying to help Grande break a record.

https://twitter.com/needynic/status/1095095781256847360

According to Billboard, only 33 songs have spent their first week on the chart at number one and only a handful of stars are listed twice including Ariana Grande.

If Grande can score a third first-week chart-topper, she’ll be the first artist in history to do so.

Hence, the boycott. Fans are hoping that by skipping ‘7 Rings’, Grande can break the record.

https://twitter.com/nationswhore/status/1095848083173400576

And they’re pretty serious about it.

https://twitter.com/salvatorerings/status/1095216659931885568

https://twitter.com/Lorenza_Zanaga/status/1095862866815664129

Of course, it wasn’t long before Grande caught wind of the boycott but she had a good sense of humor about it.

https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1095841462875353088

https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1095841686209495040

https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1095842909218164737

https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1095843029871546368

And now we wait until next week to see if it actually worked.

19 Couples Share The Unspoken Rules That Keep Their Marriages Alive

Marriage is no walk in the park, as any married couple will attest. Choosing to spend the rest of your life with the same person is a decision you continue making every single day and it requires plenty of patience, sacrifice, and mutual respect. Not to mention, an unfailing sense of humor.

Reddit recently asked the married couples in its audience about the unspoken rules that help keep their marriage alive and their responses might just save your relationship—or at least, provide you with some pointers.

1. There’s no winning when it comes to arguments.

There’s no “winning” an argument when you’re married. You either come to an agreement somehow or you’ve both lost. A situation where one person walks away feeling discouraged, unheard, and disrespected is not a victory when you’re married.

—hopebirmingham

2. Honesty is key.

Everybody always says to be honest and to communicate with each other. The extra step that is left out is to not punish your spouse for being honest. Sometimes you might hear things you don’t like, but if you punish this honesty, the communication line will close.
