You know, when it comes to Rihanna, I'm not sure there are many words left to characterize the majestic being that she is. In fact, I once read the most accurate praises on her behalf from THE Manolo Blanik, praises that are probably the only way to describe her.
He said:
"She is like a regal Nefertiti. It's in the movement of the neck. She turns and looks at you and you are just done. She's got it. This girl has power. She has something different. I saw her move. You either have that kind of grace, or you don't."
And listen, of all the celebs in all the land and all the world, Robyn is a master at reveling in her own graceful lane, where it's understood that she is the undisputed heavyweight champion of reemerging with a new look. She can make any 'fit fashion, and any hair trendy. So, when she posted a video for Savage x Fenty's Valentine's Day promotion, we couldn't help but [insert Bajan expletive screams here].

I mean...play fair, sis!
Rihanna actually debuted (again) the rockstar look on back in September in a behind-the-scenes teaser video for her second annual Savage x Fenty Vol. 2 fashion show on Amazon Prime Video's YouTube account.
But this isn't the first time that Rih Rih has rocked daring hair for all of us to envy.
There was that one time she went fire-engine red:

During the Loud era, Rihanna donned red locks, that had us running to our local beauty supply store.
She eventually went with a deeper tone:

When she brought the Doobie Wrap to mainstream America:

...and millions of little black girls and women got all their lives.
When she went pixie and exhausted us because we knew we had to do the same:

But we just dyed it, sis!
Or the red carpet with Fulani braids:

And when Rih shaved off the sides and opted all-in for "Diamonds" era:

And who could forget when she debuted the "Umbrella" 'do, changing the scope of bobs forever:

Rih Rih is currently living her best life and not allowing us to stress her by asking her that infamous question. But in the meantime, since we can never figure out her next move, I guess, it's time to get some mullets, ladies!

The JISULIFE Handheld Fan has guaranteed my personal cooling experience, and I can’t help but stan this fan.
Amazon
The device boasts an impressive amount of endurance, delivering a remarkable 46 hours of battery life at speed one, 35 hours at speed two, and 13 hours at speed three, and might I add that’s all on a mere 3-4 hours of full charging. It provides micro wind power that’s sure to make this fan your ultimate BFF in the battle against heat.
Not only is this fan adorable in its design, but it’s also compact enough to fit in your clutches and pocketbooks that meet bag size restrictions at concerts or for when you want to drop it in your bag or pocket while making moves this summer.
It’s whisper-quiet, and as if its design wasn't already impressive, it comes with a built-in flashlight, that activates with a simple long press of the power button when the fan is stationary. I wasn’t kidding when I said it truly has it all.
I’ve personally found my JISULIFE Handheld Fan to have the extra perk of being a conversation starter when I’m out running errands through the city or keeping the sweat at bay while at a summer night function.
I recently attended a party that attracted a noticeably large crowd and an even more notable layer of heat in the midst of all the dancing. Being quick on my feet, I remembered that I had packed my handheld fan along with me and pulled it out to come to my rescue. When my little pink propellers started twirling in the dim club, I soon began to get requests from suitors looking to bask in my personal cooling experience.
I obliged some for a moment and politely declined the request to share with others, but in both cases, it was fun to see my little cooling BFF work overtime as my ventilation system and party trick for the night.
Now, I’m not forcing you to open your purse and add another item to your Amazon wishlist, but if by chance you had the time and coin to spare, I can assure you it would be $15 well spent. So if you’re looking to upgrade your self-comfort and keep that good air flowing while you’re out and about, I highly recommend grabbing this fan for the rest of this summer and the next.
