FAKE and Clickbait Pinterest Pin! Gummy Bear Popsicle

HAVE YOU SEEN ME?

 Gummy Bear Soap
AubryEApothecary at Etsy
I'm sure while browsing around Pinterst you might have come upon this delectable treat. The picture is the same yet it takes you to different blogs, videos, and sites claiming "a simple summer treat all you need is sprite, gummy bears, and a Popsicle mold!" yeah add glycerin to your shopping list folks! That is right. This picture is not the frozen treat that more often than not looks like frozen gummy bears at the tip of a barely see through Popsicle or crumbling where the bubbles where. This is a sold out soap by AubryEApothecary This picture has been stolen and totally transformed into a viral misleading trend. Instram pics, blog posts, pinterest boards, youtube videos. All of them taking this photo and suckering us all in with Clickbait. I saw people posting blogs about this and a recipe without even making them! People in the comments complaining it didn't work and worse tasted like crap. 

People started to think it was soap so another picture started to circulate
Well it has to be legit now right. Someone really made these and they turned out like the picture! No...no...no... again someone saw an opportunity to try to add some credit to their post. I saw this too and was like "maybe it is me! I can't even make Popsicles!" Then I was thinking how odd for these blogs to use this pic and cut out or try to hide their logo...wait...is this a lie too! 
More investigating needed because now I have the full picture. Now this one shows the real result and she used a small mold and lots of gummies to make it "instagram" worthy but its still not the original pin I came across. So through the name I found her twitter, through twitter I found her site... I dug through years of posts (not really she had a search bar LOL) and here it is. Her version with these pics Gosteieagora 


Alright folks there are the receipts I have spilt the tea. Its a fake pin!!!! stop pinning the damn thing already and telling lies and helping those bloggers tell more lies especially when they don't credit the pictures to the people who deserve it. Stop trying to get hits and views and use your own damn pics. Hell say you were inspired by these pics, or couldn't trace the pic back ( it took me 30 min to find all this info out by the way) FAKE NEWS! I mean Pin! Clickbait stay away.

Eye Deligh 24K Gold Collagen Eye Mask Review

Eye Delight 24K Gold Collagen Eye Mask I received this product free from Eye Delight to try out and share my experience with you!  How amazing is it when you can feel so lux by putting gold on your body? This a great product if you are suffering like I am from the terrible case of the "Childrens" this condition can lead to many a sleepless night and puffy eye in the morning. Even if you don't have children we have all experienced issues with dark circles and puffiness.  I have been using this product for a week and I can tell a difference. My dark circles have become less noticable and I have almost no puffiness after using this product as part of my morning routine.  I get up around 5 and start my day with a shower. After I shower and cleanse my face I put on my Eye Delight 24K Gold Collagen Eye Mask and as I'm doing my hair I let it sit cooling my eyes for 20min. They are easy to put on and take off (my only complaint is that when you first put...
