IT’S FINALLY HERE! IMATS AT NYC!
I’ve been looking forward to this weekend since last year – there are some newcomers coming in and my go to regulars are back to take another crack at my poor wallet.
Deets to follow. DEETS! 😂

Let's do this!

Today’s mood is me being irrationally jelly. Of people in the mall who walk around with Sephora bags.
No doubt they are happy with scoring something from the store. Or maybe they finally got the chance to get a gift for someone else. There will always be that air of mystery surrounding those black-and-white striped bags that strangers around me tote around.
FoD: The MLM Adventures (Final)
I was going through my previous blog entries, trying to figure out which series were left hanging on a thread (I’m trying to get myself reorganized with my Series), and it turns out that I never finished the story of my time as an MLM rung/step/shill/seller.
Shall we get to the end? No worries, it’s not terribly long – if anything, you can probably guess what happened next.
First Post 2018
*proceeds to duck from flying vegetables* Okay, okay. I have been out of the scene for quite some time, but hear me out.
I made quite a big change in September of last year – I switched jobs and I also moved. This meant a whole lotta things, not the least of which are the following: Continue reading “First Post 2018”

Hello, Beautiful Blossoms. Yes, it’s me. And no, the site is not dead. It’s just that so much has happened these past few months that it would be much simpler to list them in bullet points:
- New place but no steady Internet.
- Fender bender that’s costing me quite the pretty penny.
- New job has me tired whenever I finish my shift.
- Burnout from the beauty scene.
FoD: The MLM Adventures (Part 2)
From Part 1:
I’m all for the “work grind” mantra – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson lives and breathes it and so does Daymond John, “The Peoples Shark.” Sure, I may not seemingly practice that because I update the blog once in a while (switching jobs is not as easy as it looks – a lesson I’ll take to heart, while moving (as in I’m FINALLY bringing some belongings over to the new place) and dealing with transportation for the new job), but I really am trying – right now, my main concern is keeping my head above the water.
You can ask anybody who did an MLM adventure – one way or another, they will tell you that they felt relegated to doing the above, except that they had someone who consistently raised the water level to the point where they’d sink into financial ruin.
The MLM I signed up with, Market America, I was fortunate enough to have my parents as my upline and even then, they were thankfully not aggressive about it. Granted, they’ve been in a few themselves before where I wasn’t a downline to them, but there were other MLMs I got indirectly involved in where I didn’t have that pleasantry.
Frank on Depression: The MLM Adventures (Part 1)
Hey, Beautiful Blossoms!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of reading an interesting (and occasionally funny) blog called “The Not Quite Fairy-Tales of Elle Beau,” courtesy of a makeup Discord group I participate in. It was mentioned in the group at a good time for me because I needed something to calm me down but never really did after a hectic weekend involving moving, a car, sticker shock, and ego.
Admittedly, the blog entries detailing Elle’s experience with Younique was surprisingly interesting – I’m no stranger to MLM (yes, I used to do it too and no, I wasn’t keen on the whole aggresive sales tactics that are fondly used by companies), yet I kept on reading Elle’s entries about how she went through the roller coaster of being a Younique salesperson until the ride finally came to a stop when, obviously, she quit the company.
