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...

Amazon Beauty Box UnBoxing

Amazon Beauty Box Let  me start off by saying...........So disappointing! This is the first box I bought from Amazon's Beauty Box Line and I wanted to be surprised and compare it to other boxes I have bought in the past. So I didn't look at what was in the box and if you were thinking about getting the box while "supplies last" I would skip this box. There are too many foil packets in this box to really sample and get a feel or even hooked on a product. If your a company that is going to try to get new customers its not going to happen trying your product out once. Just not happening. Sorry. I tried my best to look through amazon to try to get comparative prices and find out what the sample sizes would cost to see if the box which is $11.99 was worth the buy. I have come up with a total of $22.55. I could not factor in the L'Oreal Age Perfect or Revatalift because they did not give a volume total on the packets. Most of this cost can be attributed to...
