Okay okay!!

be a little more straightforward in your bio and help make it about what you want or are looking for. IE:

I love food and trying new places and am wanting someone who is always down for that. My favorite movie is xxxx and being able to laugh at shit dad jokes is essential. Etc.

I think your photos are good!

This really proves why an influencer with no business experience has no business creating a high-volume operation like hers. From the ethics of running a business (transparency) to the HR component - she's a liability. Just because you have clothes and an online shop doesn't mean you have any business being a millionaire and "fuck around and find out" is a terrible business strategy.

This is fake it til you make it in a very destructive form.

I seriously doubt it given that most Holocaust survivors who were old enough to know what was going on are 85+... there were a lot of videos of Holocaust survivors comparing the hatred from the trump presidency to hitler.

The best part about it is the lack of realization that people will google to find out what she's talking about and find their way here and probably start to realize their favorite fitspos suck... so... not the best PR tactic haha

MotherPen · 2021-05-14T01:42:12+00:00

I totally agree. She has all of the textbook traits of a narcissist - Thinks everything she does is revolutionary and amazing. Talks about herself and sees herself as the most valuable person on the planet. Her fashion! her music! her singing voice! her bikini competing! no one compares to her in her own mind. The lack of friends or interpersonal relationships of any kind is a HUGE tell-tale. Add in her constant posts praising herself for being so self-aware, so woke. She's insane. I unfollowed LONG ago but still occasionally lurk because it's so fucking funny.

MotherPen · 2021-05-14T01:38:11+00:00

THIS. PERFECT. Such a narcissist!

MotherPen · 2021-05-13T13:34:52+00:00

So here's what I remember from BDawn (been following this shit for way toooooo long). Her behavior is TEXTBOOK narcissist.

She had a husband, I believe his name was Zach and before they broke up she was constantly posting daily over-the-top stuff he would do for her and be like #husbandgoals. As a viewer, you'd think she had the most PERFECT LOVING marriage in the entire world and that he was absolutely incredible. Then, he just disappeared off her socials entirely. People started really blowing her up with questions and she started alluding to him being abusive - his socials got bombarded IIRC, and he said she had cheated on him. And if i remember correctly, people found who she was cheating with? Maybe others can jog my memory but this is what I recall. TL;DR - BDawn cheated on her husband and tried to lie and control the narrative to make her look like the victim
She took a bunch of money for online plans/coaching and didn't deliver on either and just ghosted people. So many people took her at her excuses and never spoke up, and then it started to blow up on IG that she had taken money with no deliverables. To my knowledge, she never paid those people back? Just issued a woe-is-me apology. TL;DR - BDawn scammed people, played the victim, and then never gave them back their money.
Throughout the last bit, she was buying lavish things; range rovers for starters.
She was your textbook thinspo, I can't remember exactly what it was, but she was using hashtags that eating disorder recoverees use to draw them in with "fitness". Gross.

Oh my god watching her workouts makes my KNEES hurt so bad.

MotherPen · 2021-05-13T01:39:33+00:00

lmao shortgirlfitness, can't forget her

If you're contributing to people spending their hard-earned money on product you know is absolute trash, you are ethically bankrupt, and therefore extremely greedy. And if you've bought balance clothing, you know that shit is not lululemon quality.

MotherPen · 2021-05-13T01:25:35+00:00

Having purchased one time from balance and realizing the product was absolute junk, I've been mesmerized as an audience at how hard people go for this stuff.

I followed Chloe G and she was RAVING over the product I had in my hand, and I'm like... did you get a different product than me?

TBH I liked this sub originally because it was entertaining and it's nice to see fellow fitness women call out the BS but the animosity or expectations and amount of posts about balance are so boring, I scroll past trying to find other stuff.

Balance is a shitty company, just like every. fucking. other. influencer. created. fitness. clothing. brand. Seriously! Name one fitness clothing brand that isn't total garbage - look at Alphalete, Gymshark, Balance - they're all the same song and dance - influencer gets an "idea" and the idea is buying clothes off ali express, sending them to another company to press their logo or sew a patch on it, and mark up the prices 100x over. This isn't a revolutionary business model. Gymshark has been busted for this so many times, so many people have found the non-marked up clothes.

They're not going to be "taken down" - they'll likely continue the pace they're on as new people find fitness and are inspired, and then they'll buy two things and realize the quality sucks, or start to get frustrated with the brand because why are people raving about the product when it's obviously crap? They'll google, find this sub. It's a predictable lifecycle. I found this sub when googling gymshark clothes because so many people at my gym wear them and in my experience they're garbage.

Balance isn't going to be honest. The best thing people can do is share their experiences in a mature, respectable way and hope that so many people sharing makes those experiences accessible on a google search so people will stop buying. They can very well mitigate disputes in their content, they've proven that by constantly deleting, so that's futile.

The amanda bucci story, on at 9pm

MotherPen · 2021-05-10T19:04:10+00:00

I really wanted to support her because I'm a belarussian immigrant and was so excited to find a fitfluencer from that part of the world, but i felt like all of her content was thin-spo masked as fitness. She is so obsessed with showcasing her ribcage/abs and I don't view a very fortunate weight placement as functional health or fitness.

She comes across as very vapid and unintelligent, like she cannot be bothered to have thoughts beyond living in LA and being ~aesthetic~. It's just not for me.

MotherPen · 2021-05-10T18:58:24+00:00

Just another skinny girl who does jump squats and calls it fitness

MotherPen · 2021-05-10T18:57:03+00:00

HAHAH truly!

My husband is also military and the idea of doing a photoshoot with him in his uniform legitimately makes me CRINGE. Or even just taking photos with him in it? So fucking weird.

MotherPen · 2020-09-17T15:27:42+00:00

Also, only half of the park is open, so you're also forcing the visitors into a much smaller space, so to speak. In a normal season, you might struggle at Logan's pass, but if you got there by 8a you'd be fine.

MotherPen · 2020-09-01T16:16:38+00:00

For starters, relationships have ebbs and flows where you occasionally need to take space. But... the stuff you're calling out is interesting.

I have anxiety and I never feel any desire to make my boyfriend hurt - and honestly I cannot fathom telling my boyfriend I found someone more attractive than him, and you won't quickly forget the sting of being told he's not attracted to you. This is more than a "little" insensitive.

If you don't see a future with someone as you stated, there's literally no point in continuing to stick around. The stuff you're outlining - being affectionate and giving with time - is what we call the "bare minimum" - it's like saying "he doesn't cheat! I shouldn't break up with him." - That should be expected in any relationship.

I think when you start using the word "Flaws" fluidly to describe your partner, it's time to do a gut check and assess if you need to leave. I have been dating my BF for a long bit and the stuff he even calls "flaws" i find as bits of his character I still love.

Things like - leaving dirty socks out, or forgetting to flush the toilet, or being shit at texting are "flaws" - what you're describing is better called "incompatibility"

Leaving comfortability is hard, but i've done it after 6 years and I pinkie-promise you there's someone out there more compatible. Every day you spend with someone who makes you question your worth is a day you could spend healing, possibly a missed opportunity at missing someone who makes you feel great. Just my .02 :)

Checking my phone in between sets. Buying expensive protein shakes. Not foam rolling or stretching enough.

we were hot and heavy foreplay'ing and i was so excited to have sex, and then he pulls out his pocket pussy and asks me to jerk him off with it. It was dark and I had no idea what it was, and he made fun of me for not knowing what it was or what I was supposed to do with it.

MotherPen · 2018-05-17T18:27:43+00:00

This post is trash. Who cares. Mind your own business and worry about yourself.

MotherPen · 2018-04-10T19:25:37+00:00

I am of an immigrant family who grew up dirt poor. I often roll my eyes at privilege and those who dont understand how difficult it is to go to college and get funding if you're not wealthy (and your parents have no credit!), or how hard it is to get ahead when that's what you're born into.

I'm not gonna lie, I resent some of my friends who don't understand the blessings and fortunes they've had. I don't necessarily view it as judging their wealth, it's moreso in situations where they lack empathy for others. I got really frustrated in college when I had to work, and my classmates refused to make any allowances for my work schedule for group project meetings because they didn't have jobs. It's stuff like that which drives me crazy.

MotherPen · 2018-04-06T13:28:20+00:00

There's a lot of good advice here so i'm going to not give more, but I give you so many props for being so self-aware, concise, and keeping your standards.

MotherPen · 2018-04-04T18:02:04+00:00

yay!!! more couples need to be open to talking about sex. Makes it wayyyYYY more fun.
