I'm sorry but I'm finding it extremely inappropriate and distasteful that people are turning a domestic abuse situation into memes and TikTok audios and making it like it's something funny or entertaining.
I've cleared 18 lists myself and I know others have joined in as well! Very happy about that! Will get to a few more today. Love seeing all of your kindness 💕

Okay I'm officially tapped out. I spent everything extra I had. I personally purchased for 37 families and saw several others buy for families too, so about 45-50 families helped total. Idk about you, but im very pleased with that. I wish I could do for everyone, but

Probably because many of us don't even know what song you're referring to, but we most certainly know Rain On Me, which had many chart accolades.
If you're new here, hi! Thought I'd take a second to introduce myself :)

I'm married y'all! We'll have our ceremony with family in August in Florida after we get settled in. Time to get my license and all that fun stuff changed. :)

🤣 I mean these big "influencers" should stop playing games when it comes to reviews and have a little integrity once in awhile. 🤷♂️
Tonight part of my heart died. Dottie passed away at 10:20 in my arms. She lived 16 long wonderful years. I loved her more than anything. I've loved her since the day she was born. I can't put into words how devastated I am.
I just had the most heartbreaking experience at Walmart while grocery shopping. I was at the self checkout & this lady beside me started freaking out because apparently she was about $6 short for her groceries. So of course I paid for her entire grocery order, and you would have
Also, please don't feel like you have to follow me to participate in this. I'm not doing this to benefit from it. Just hoping we can collectively make some families Christmases a bit better. Thank you 💖
I'm doing my best to mark off some items from as many lists as I can! I'm sorry I can't do them all. Also, I REALLY appreciate those who I've seen who are able to hop in and also buy some items for others. There's zero expectation of that, so it's greatly appreciated. This is

@YouTube
! Thank you to everyone that supports me over there. I'm going HARD next year on youtube and pumping out more long form than ever!
Thank you so much for helping others! I've seen you buy for more than a few people from this thread and just wanted to make sure I took a moment to recognize you for that. 💖💖💖
You don't have to answer this, but if you deal with depression or anxiety, have you ever found true relief? I've been diagnosed and medicated for both since I was around 13 years old. I've never found relief and at this point don't think I ever will.
I am THRILLED to announce that I've officially signed to
@Studio71US
management. I've been working closely with them for the last two years, and to be able to sign with them is a dream come true. This is something I've been working towards for 4-5 years. I'm honored that they
Why are people allowed to be so openly and aggressively transphobic on social media? Why do platforms almost never step in and remove them? Why is hate speech tolerated so much? And why are wo many people agreeing with this lady? Disgusting.
Don't forget to smile and be kind to yourself today. Holidays are rough for many. Life is rough for many. Sending my love and well wishes 💖 Happy Friday.
I am beyond excited and honored to announce that I officially accepted a position with Winky Lux! I will be joining their team as their new social media coordinator and taking over their tiktok account plus some influencer outreach! I'm so excited!
Like I guess I'm confused why L'Oréal would want me to do a hair coloring video for them in exchange for a free box of hair color, when I can just buy it from the store and do it myself if I really wanted to. Like how does that benefit me in anyway? Lol.
I hope that in the new year people can find peace. Life is too short to harbor so much pain, anger and resentment. I know I'm trying to let certain things go that have caused me pain. I'm doing it for me, not for others. I just want to see everyone prosper, be happy, be healthy,
Although I'm of course very grateful for every item sent to me in PR, I can't be the only one that finds it unnecessarily wasteful when a brand sends you like 30 shades of a foundation knowing that 99% them aren't for your skin tone. Like just guess and pick 2 or 3 max lol.
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful day with friends and family! Joey and I are going to watch Christmas movies and then I'm making dinner of course! You all are the best gift I could ever ask for 💖🎅 Thank you for allowing me to live my dreams every single
Part of the fun of being in the tiktok creative challenge program is getting to be just that, creative. This online school challenge wanted a focus on being at home and cozy while going to school online. Here's what i made haha. If you have at least 50k followers on tiktok and
@MarlenaStell
It doesn't make me think either way. I'm just like oh that looks fun, then continue scrolling. But it's never made me want to buy something or not wanna buy something.
@MarlenaStell
I've definitely experienced over the last year or so on TikTok that people don't really want to see tutorials or reviews or anything that has value as much as they want to see the shock value content. I believe that's why my account has come to a standstill. To me the wild in
Today was my first experience with
@UPS
in Florida and will absolutely be my last. I just walked out of my local location at 4:32pm after having a male associate threaten to assault me and call me profanities in front of multiple other customers. Why did he do this? Because I
@Codyjayartistry
I think you and all others who help are angels here on earth. The appreciation for you all is amazing. I have seen some i know get theirs shopped and I am ecstatic for them!
I'm excited for content in 2024. While I'm of course still doing beauty content, I'm going to be switching things up 110%, both in long form and short form. I'm simplifying my "content buckets", because I have far too many. I'm creating more Involved content, going back to fun
@petermonn
And not to mention there are plenty of us who are really good creators in the beauty space that are always honest in our reviews whether we are paid or not. People need to give the rest of us a try instead of hyperfocusing on the same 5 Mega influencers. We deserve support too.
A brand reached out & offered me $800 per month to do some UGC & I said no but I would do what they requested for $2000 per month with a long term contract & they agreed. It's simply as easy as just asking for what you want. You HAVE to know your worth! And no posting on my end:)
I'm so excited! Joey knows how hard I've worked over the years. I've been a business owner for coming up on 11 years , with almost 4 of those being my content creator business. He knows how much Ive put into what I do every day for the last 4 years and how important it is to me
Don't worry, I'm not all doom and gloom about this. I get that it's a very dangerous cancer, BUT it's stage one and I'm too busy to let it take me out haha. I have to have Mohs surgery and then take a course of targeted radiation pills. Y'all can't get rid of me that easily 😘
Please welcome Bella & Leo to the family. They are 2 months old💜
As you know I recently lost my angel baby Dottie after 16 years. She was my entire life. I feel conflicted right now as I'm still dealing with her passing. But anyone that knows me knows that I have so much love
Update: Ferrets are really really good at hiding illnesses. He's been completely fine and lively and tonight just suddenly went flat, started drooling, and wasn't responsive. Went to the exotic animal emergency vet and they had to stabilize him immediately. Diagnosis is
@LakotaMan1
Yes extremely. And the fact that we still don't have official answers as to who orchestrated the entire thing and why security clearances were undone and windows were left unlocked and why clearly it was premeditated yet nobody is actually being held accountable for causing it.
I had a very nasty dm yesterday telling me to keep quiet because I'm a man. last I checked I can support anyone or anything I choose. Human rights need to be protected. period.
Joey's lunches are made for the next couple days. We have always been big into meal prepping. Now time to clean and then work on content ideas and get ready for this week's Tiktok Creative Challenge refresh!
The same creators complaining about not getting opportunities are the same creators not responding to emails when I'm sending them paid opportunities. Make it make sense. I give people a couple days to respond and when they don't I offer the opportunity to the next person.
Wishing

Fun fact, the first $1, $10, $1000 I ever made was because of Marlena and Makeup Geek.

Doing live master class with Q&A and demos with the academy students today! Just finished a one on one business class with a student and we built out her business plan and guide to get her started as a freelance artist. SO pumped!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️
A creator/brand owner friend of mine is looking for a graphic designer to help with a product cover. Any recommendations I can pass along to her would be greatly appreciated!
The reason I choose not to follow a lot of people is simply because I'm not interested in seeing anyone else's drama or seeing any negativity and I will unfollow someone for that reason alone. I have no time in my life for drama or negativity in this community. Sorry 🤷♂️
I think I'm going to do a MASSIVE free Creator Academy Course this month. I see so many people starting to get into content creation & UGC, so why not really help them thrive so much faster? One thing about me, money isn't everything. Happy to share my knowledge for free often❤️
I'm not trying to be that person but I'm just genuinely wondering what people are gonna be celebrating this 4th of July? We have even more human rights being taken away from groups of people and others coming soon I'm sure, more mass shootings, etc. What's to celebrate?
@JenLuvsReviews
@KathleenLights1
The deception from a lot of larger creators has gotten past the breaking point for me. It's embarrassing, makes us all look bad, and of course isn't even legal per the ftc.
Honestly, what bothers me is when people are acting like something's not good enough. If you want to disrespect me, that's fine, but don't disrespect the other people who spent their own hard earned money to help other families as well. That's just something I want tolerate.
I’m real protective of my
@Codyjayartistry
so you mfs who go silent when he’s NOT giving away shit but flock to his posts when he is, don’t piss me off. Be appreciative but don’t be fake…
If you didn't know, brands can see way more about your accounts than you think. Like this person is someone I wanted to hire, but their accounts have high levels of fraud and content warnings on the back end.
