Snapchat has made an ass of itself in the past month. Not only did they create a ridiculous update that made them lose $1.3 billion of the company’s market value, they have been messing with the wrong people.
Snapchat put out an ad for the mobile game “Would You Rather?” and it was anything but funny. Snapchat displayed this image to its users and it got serious attention. It presented users with two options: “Slap Rihanna” or “Punch Chris Brown.” To give some background Rihanna was a victim of domestic abuse back in 2009 when they were dating and it left Rihanna badly bruised and scarred for life. Brown pleaded guilty in 2009 to beating Rihanna during an argument.
Check out the highly offensive ad here:
Rihanna put out a statement on her Instagram story that said:
“Now SNAPCHAT I know you already know you ain’t my fav app out there! But I’m just trying to figure out what the point was with this mess!” I’d love to call it ignorance but I know you ain’t that dumb. You spent money to animate something that would intentionally bring shame to DV victims and made a joke of it.”
Snapchat played the victim by saying:
“This advertisement is disgusting and never should have appeared on our service. We are so sorry we made the terrible mistake of allowing it through our review process. We are investigating how that happened so that we can make sure it never happens again.”
After this incident, Snapchat lost an additional $800 million dollars. They deserve it.
The creators of Snapchat are acting like a victim but they are doing everything in their power to deserve the backlash they are getting. How could you possibly turn something as serious as domestic violence into a joke? That is just horrible and distasteful. It wasn’t funny at all and makes fun of victims of this horrible crime. Rihanna is a strong person for coming out of this situation alive and probably feels horrible that Chris Brown somehow still has a career. On top of this Snapchat put out the worst update in the history of updates to confuse users across all platforms. This company is giving me a headache and I am thinking of deleting the app. You can’t just make fun of domestic violence and expect your company not to lose millions of dollars. Like Rihanna said, “shame on you.”

Cigarettes are a lot of people’s vices but the long-term effects of smoking are extremely bad for your health as if we haven’t heard that before. But quitting a nicotine addiction is one of the hardest things to overcome, especially if you have been smoking for a long time. To quit, you probably should have never picked up the pack, but hey sh*t happens and now it’s time to end it for good. I have devised some of the best ways to quit smoking if you are actually motivated.
And I’m not here to tell you the basics like it causes cancer or you smell because everyone already knows that and by saying that over and over again you actually start to want to smoke more since everyone is up in your case about it. No, I’m here to be real with you. And yes we get it, we would save money, yea blah blah blah.
MOTIVATION
The first step to quitting smoking is actually having the motivation to quit and I’m not talking about if you’re on your sixth cigarette and tell your friend “ugh I need to quit” because how many times have you said that? Probably the last 30 packs you have bought. No, to quit you have to be dedicated to making a change and if you are not in the place of mind to do that, then save it for a time where you are mentally healthy and motivated. There have been so many times where people have talked about quitting but go right back to it because they want to smoke. You have to be at the point where enough is enough.
SET LONG TERM GOALS
My first trick to quit is to have something in your life that gives you the motivation to. Maybe it is a new boyfriend or girlfriend that hates going outside with you when you have to smoke. Do you really want to see them in the cold and giving you a nasty glare? Or maybe it’s a new job that would look down at you if you smoked. Or set a goal for your future and how smoking can come in between that. If you want to have a career and your future is looking bright you don’t need something that brings you down. Can you imagine if your life finally gets better and suddenly you have a health issue because of the time in your life when you were down? Believe you have a future.
GET A PHIX
The first step is to buy a vape or an e-cigarette. I wouldn’t suggest a traditional vape because it just doesn’t hit as hard as cigarettes. The juice is expensive and to get a “buzz” you have to smoke it a lot and it creates insane clouds that annoy everyone in the room because you are constantly blowing it in their faces. I had a vape for a while and I couldn’t seem to really get into it without having at least a cigarette a day.
Don’t waste your time with a vape
Most people will buy a Juul to quit, but I don’t like the Juul as much because there are better and more effective options. The real secret to quitting is the Phix.
Purchase the Phix (on the left) instead of the Juul (on the right)
The Phix is the next step up from the Juul and will save you money in the long run. Juuls have a lower nicotine content. The Phix is truly the only way to quit. Go to your local vape store to buy one. It is also extremely easy to understand, unlike vapes, which could take a whole month to fully understand the contraption- which could lead to a frustrated cigarette break. Also, you will probably save no money when you quit so I’m debunking that rumor right now. The Phix is not the best product since it dies almost every four months after intense usage but hey, at least it’s not cigarettes right?
WORKING OUT
During the first few weeks of quitting- YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK OUT. I don’t care if you hate running, you have to. It is the only way to initially cut off the cravings. I would say go for a jog for about an hour every day when you are in the process of ridding your body of nicotine. And hey, I know you probably don’t have the best lungs for running but don’t get down on yourself. If you run for two minutes and have to walk for the next five, do it. Make yourself proud and continue to fight for yourself. Remember the reasons why you want to improve your life. This will also keep you skinny since quitting triggers intense cravings for junk food. Instead of the doughnuts go on a run, you’ll still be skinny.
DON’T GET MAD
Also don’t get mad if you have a cigarette on a cheat day because those things are going to happen. Or you might go to a party and chain smoke and feel like all your progress is gone because it isn’t. Quitting is hard and everyone is going to have their off days but just know that it is all a part of the process. Don’t tell yourself that you have failed and go back to smoking just because you have a misstep. Believe in yourself that you can do it. You might be in this process for a few months before you finally put the pack down, or maybe a full year. It is a process.
Also after you finally quit it is ok to have a cigarette once in a while if you had a bad day. Hopefully, you will kick the Phix, Juul or vape for good and be free of nicotine. It’s a nasty addiction but quitting truly opens up your mind, improves your health and gives you your power back.

Don’t worry fans! Our favorite couple seems to be strong as ever, denying the rumors regarding their relationship that surfaced the internet. It’s clear that just a hint of discontent can send fans into a whirlwind of speculation!
Nowadays, is a break up even official until it’s Instagram official? So when fans discovered that Jhene Aiko had unfollowed boyfriend Big Sean on Instagram, that was all that was needed to confirm the speculations. However, Jhene refutes the rumors via Twitter writing “Sorry, but nothing about you guy’s fan fiction stories are true… I still love you tho.”
Sean quotes Penny’s tweet with clapping hand emojis, making it clear that everything was fine in Paradise.
Although some fans are still not convinced due to the removal of some photos of the two on her account, it may have been in effort to “remodel” her Instagram account, giving it a more organized and aesthetic appeal. There are still photos of the couple together at the Dior Masquerade Ball that they attended in January — they’re just all in one row now.
Cheers to a long, happy, social media speculation free relationship to the couple!
