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.

Everbellus Faux Leather Pants

Faux Leather Pants Wow, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised about these pants. Everbellus was kind enough to let me try these pants out at a discount for my review.  Want to skip the reading you can watch my video here. These are Faux Leather Pants and the are fantastic. I love dressing up for date night when my husband and I go out and have a little kid free fun. These pants do not make me feel self-conscience and this 32 year old mama doesn't have the body of a 19 year old. I have put on some weight, stretch marks, and cellulite and these are the very reason I avoid pants like these. These pants are made out of spandex and polyester. They have a smooth silky feel on the outside and a nice soft fabric on the inside so your not feeling rubbery. These pants are stretchy and have an elastic waistband. They are super comfortable to wear almost like a second skin! I couldn't stop running my hands down them. The sides have a lattice pattern and stop and just t

Better Basics Sterline Salt and Pepper Grinder Review

Sterline Salt and Pepper Grinder Hello Everyone time to let me Talk At Ya! I was sent a Sterline dual salt and pepper Grinder free to review from Better Basics. I love dual salt and pepper shakers you just have one product for the job and you cannot misplace or have one broken and no longer have a set and speaking of breakage if something were to happen they have a 2 year warranty on their products. If you would like to check out the product click here:  http://betterbasics.com/product/ST-SP2 Now lets get...grinding... This grinder its very modern and sleek and when filled the salt and pepper look as if there is a slight twist .This salt and pepper grinder is light and easy to grasp for a secure hold when you grind. The silver cap on top unscrews so you can lift the top off to fill up the salt and pepper sides that are marked with a P or S. There are nobs on the bottom of the grinder that you can turn to have your salt and pepper ground fine or course for your liking us
