TikTok Spotlight: Amanda Up Next

Beauty, TikTok

I have a real love for TikTok. I have found so much on this app to enjoy. This tiktoker is so cool – find her on all social channels with the handle @AmandaUpNext.

@amandaupnext

I’ve learned a lot about wigs from this lady. She is so stylish and so entertaining. She also started the overnight “evaporated” Got2B gel trend – the one where people are setting the hairspray for a thicker consistency when applying lace wigs – that one. That SUPER viral trend, see her recipe here. The overnight consistency of the spray aids in wig adhesion for up to a week or two. I do not use this method much, myself, as I prefer glueless wigs, however, I do like it for my edges. I personally think that the end consistency of the product is somewhat similar to the SheBOMB lace putty – but easier to work with. Amandaupnext is super dope – she is also how I found out about SZC hair – where I found my beloved.

Even if you’re not into wigs, I think that she is worth checking out for the laughs and styling.

P.S. – I’ll have some BAE updates soon. Stay tuned.

TikTok RoundUp

Entertainment, NELLIEL Approved, Spanish, Threads, Youtubers

Recently, I’ve really enjoyed tagging some of my favorite artists on TikTok, hoping that I can participate in their creative process as well. I am not sure that any of my comments have gotten to them, however, I have been doing that for a while and I hope that they enjoy it and know that I think about them frequently. They have added so much joy and thought to my life. I aspire to be like them in some ways.

As I peruse the app for creative inspo, I have found some very entertaining things. I want to share them here, though I cannot say that they will still be active by the time you all find them. Especially this first Creator. I don’t think that many of my readers know this but I have attained fluency in Spanish though I am continuing to strengthen my skills. This Creator is sharing how to speak dirty in Spanish, and he sure is GOOD AT IT.

  • @elniggatino – Wanna learn how to curse or speak more explicitly in Spanish, this is the way to go. He is a cutie and of age! He even has a real explicit Spanish course available for purchase. Just 10 bucks!
  • @Blackbean_cms – What a talented artist. Not only are his paintings amazing but his videos are sooo good! He makes me laugh a lot. In one of his latest vids, he shared how to make paint from clay. Pretty cool if you ask me.
  • @novianwright_ – I really like this guy’s music. It is so vibey. He is BOSTON based and I was trying to share his work with people that I really admire, I’m not sure if it went anywhere. My heart belongs to them, Novian. You Know Who? I really like Sabotage and the feature below, ‘i wonder’.

Ghibli Mon

ATL, Atlanta, Entertainment, NELLIEL Approved

I haven’t been able to post about Ghibli Fest as of yet, I’m not sure that I’m a real fan of this particular studios work, however, I did recently see something really cool on TikTok. A Ghibli mashup art style with Pokemon. What a cool idea – I’m really into animation styles, so this got my attention. I’m unable to share the videos (can’t embed TikTok) but I think that their page is worth a follow. See below imagery, all rights/credits to ghiblimon.studio on TikTok.

Btw, it is national video game day. What are you playing? Me? Pokemon of course. Legends Arceus to be more exact.
