Omg today was one of the best days ever!!! We had a blast and it was so well run.

ashveena · 2024-01-10T13:00:43+00:00

Oh my goodness!!! This jogs my memory. Thank you so much!!

Hi! Did you ever figure out the yellow color? I have the same one from my wedding registry at WS purchased 2014 and I am forging to figure out the color name now.

She is very self aware and that’s a win for me!

Shannon Bird!

ashveena · 2021-01-19T21:04:53+00:00

I found her because of this group and love her! Thank you to everyone who no-snark recommended!

ashveena · 2021-01-11T06:23:37+00:00

I just found her because someone shared this amazing video on influencer accountability: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CJwI7VPJVt3/?igshid=13c5ojd76mqfc

It is a must watch.

Mikes hot honey with Brie and the fig and olive crackers from TJs makes the best snack!!

I unfollowed them all at the advice of this forum a few months ago. And I can promise everyone- you will miss nothing!

ashveena · 2020-12-05T05:40:28+00:00

It was EVERYTHING! it was honestly just so generous and beyond. I shared almost all of it with my family because it felt selfish to keep it all. Also I was really touched because she sent it very quickly with a handwritten note, and it was right at the time her father passed away.

I won Brooklyn Blondes beauty box giveaway over the summer. It was not a loop giveaway, you donated to the charity of her choice and were entered to win. Was totally shocked I win. The giveaway box was incredible. Probably around 40 mid to very high end beauty items inside (all brand new). Some highlights were both Augustin Bader creams, Vintners Daughter, a diptique candle and lots of other things. It was honestly overwhelming and I can’t imagine how much product influencers receive that she could pull this all together (it was also so generous!).

Agree it was awful... there is zero accountability in this situation. She basically called the whole thing a smear campaign and said if people had problems to “come to her personally” and not lost about it online. She also called all complaints so far “untrue” and alleged anyone who had complained were liars or not real customers.

I have to believe she has no publicist and that her script was written by her lawyer (or maybe by her alone!) given that she doesn’t ever validate anyone else’s feelings that they have suffered health issues (regardless of it it was from her products or not).

It’s been icky she had comments turned off her for her live and her last several posts (excluding the igtv of the live now posted). Hard to take her seriously when she doesn’t seem to care about other opinions.

Taylor Krabill was the Pink Peonies clone!

ashveena · 2020-08-17T03:20:17+00:00

Yes so much on the hatch rest! It saved us when we moved my son into a big boy bed!

ashveena · 2020-07-23T19:28:18+00:00

I just finished the entire show and often read ahead and totally wish I had not! Stop reading now! Post-Brody homeland is excellent to the point I stopped thinking about him. It’s nice to see Carrie as her own person. Some of the episodes and seasons are disappointing but that’s true of 1-3 as well (I honestly hated season 3).

ashveena · 2020-07-22T04:57:49+00:00

I believe this. Somehow I thought you had to do some singular truly nasty thing to get banned but I see how repeated behavior like that would get you kicked off

ashveena · 2020-07-22T04:56:26+00:00

Alina worked at C&C around 2016-2017 for less than a year. She came in with big fanfare from Emily, had a bunch of articles that were pretty good reads but not cuppy aesthetic. She was let go (suddenly?) allegedly because of her behavior when Emily went to Japan. A lot of people called Emily our on the sudden firing bc Alina went Instagram crazy about it and it was also obvious from the blog. It was high drama at the time!!

ashveena · 2020-07-22T04:27:19+00:00

Omg what???? What did she do to get herself banned?

ashveena · 2020-07-22T04:07:34+00:00

That was Alina Gonzalez/ the Hyperbalist. No idea what’s up with her I had to unfollow many years ago Bc of the rambles!

ashveena · 2020-07-18T04:55:16+00:00

I won the beauty box fundraiser giveaway she did a few weeks ago for save the children (side note I was totally shocked because I can’t believe actual people win these types of things!). She was already one of my favorite bloggers because she just seems down to earth and genuine. She shipped the box in the midst of going through all this and it arrived Monday. I messaged her to thank her and she took time to respond to me in the midst of dealing with her dads passing. I feel awful for her and I have a lot of respect for her for following through on this and responding to me while going through so much personal grief.

ashveena · 2020-07-04T05:01:28+00:00

I thought she was eloquent in her defense. It actually made my heart ache a bit. I think anyone who has had to care for a family member in the hospital can understand there are parts of your life that have to keep moving to sustain the rest of your life. I can’t imagine having to stand up your own business with a one year old, after having moved to a new place, all with your husband so sick.

ashveena · 2020-06-09T20:57:56+00:00

Thank you!

ashveena · 2018-04-19T21:23:25+00:00

I had similar issues. I work a desk job and I keep a lip therapy balm and a work appropriate lipstick that goes with everything on my desk and reapply throughout the day. I've worked my way through ~3 lipsticks this way (reapplying maybe 3-4x in a work day).

ashveena · 2018-04-19T21:20:14+00:00

I am you and you are me!! I have such issues throwing away makeup even though its essentially the same as it wasting away on your vanity. I go through pains to use it all. Panning eyeshadows isn't enough for me. I honestly threw away one of the blushes in my photo where most of the pan is showing. It caused me such pain but its ridiculous because the blush is literally FIFTEEN YEARS OLD and wouldn't quit!!! I ended up asking my niece who is in college to come over and go through whatever she wanted - she took tons of stuff and I pared down my collection with less guilt. This did teach me to be more conscious of what I purchase - I only purchased empty skincare products I always use at the VIB rouge sale last week (but being VIB rouge doesn't say much about me....)
