I’m leaving behind 2025 as a whole. It was a shitshow from start to finish.
@coolnerdlll6053LMAO IKR!!
My fear of moving on and achieving my goals
My job.
@MojaveKnight17YOU GOT THIS!!!
1:39:46 “I used to have an insane amount on shoes.”
Judging by what is behind you – you still do.
Damn. I think the number of pairs of shoes I can glean from looking of the shelves that are in view right now (including those behind her – for good measure) might exeec the number of shoes that I have owned so far. At least they are in the same order of magnitude.
And I am turning 40 this year.
How does anyone need this amount of shoes?
1:49:36 Do not forget that in between this she also posted an extremely not-well-recieved video on Youtube about how she (mis)used a GLP-1 in order to “be able to wear a tank top” (she was able to wear a tank top before – she wasn’t even overweight by the looks of it in her own video).
She lost her Youtube audience and is desperately trying to find a new one on TikTok. …
She’s proven to be so fos that it’s hard to even believe her life story.. How much of that was true, how much was exaggerated, and how much were lies??😊
38:38 Then she went ahead on cheated on John with his best friend who also was his best man at their wedding…. It blows my mind how many terrible people are in the beauty community…. Why do you people keep making terrible people rich?? I don’t get it….
She just can’t handle that people no longer care about anything she has to sell and it’s so satisfying, I mean hello fuzzy white gloves and lipstick gate, I won’t ever forget 😂
46:31 i have had this one tart eyeshadow/highlight/bronzer pallett since summer of 23′. I use just 4 of the eyeshadows cuz im partial to the mattes. However i have avidly used the 4 everytime i do my makeup which isnt every day but i would have to say I do my makeup 4-5× a week on average. I must add that this poor pallet that has been well loved indeed, has suffered a few accidents, bad falls you see, resulting in my pretty poor pallett losing some of its very important parts. Cracks in several of the shad-lite-bronzers were incured causing some of the products to disengage entirely from their pots and vanish into an explosion of nuded shades of ferry dust falling everywhere. (I still grieve for 2 of them actually probably wont get over it, and if you know then you know that no, i am not being dramatic..) anyways 3 out of the 4 i wear got cracked and some of each were lost to me also. However even still i remain in their utilization 4-5× wkly ×3 years now. Im down to about 5% in 1 and no more then 15% left in the other 3. Which should probably last me another year if not 2 at this rate.
I have never watched an influencer and don’t really get why anyone does. Most women look way better and healthier with a small amount of makeup, especially as you get older. And you don’t need to spend a ton of money; just take care of your skin and stay out of the sun.
I will never cease to be absolutely repulsed by influencers, celebrities, etc giving a “cheesy speech but (they) don’t care” about how grateful they are that their followers, buyers, etc have made them filthy rich. Revolting.
