| QUOTE (LochKat @ 23/1/2024, 11:17) Another hard work week for K8. Had her nails done, travel to see friends, have a massage, travel back, and talk non stop about it on Friday. Her income for the month of January must have taken a dive for sure, she hasn't done anything at all.
She mentioned Candace can't attend because of the baby.
I thought Caralyn just had the baby. What about Candace, the stylist from Ohio? She’s closer to Anna Mae. |

| Did anyone else pick up on k8 not mentioning Candace in the mastermind group? Did she get the boot?
Also, if anyone is a book girly - have you read Yellowface? You have to read our own novelist K8’s review on Goodreads. I about died.
To sum it up, the book is about a white author that witnesses her successful friend’s accidental death and proceeds to steal her unpublished, unseen draft of a novel. And her friend was Asian and wrote a book about Chinese history. So the white author receives her fair share of backlash. Kate “deeply resonated” with the book as someone who also receives criticism on the internet. Cringe. |

| I about died when she answered the question about sharing about her kids on social media. I guess “pulling back” means sharing when your kids get butt worms. Because that’s respecting their privacy  |

| QUOTE (Blushface @ 14/2/2023, 22:24) QUOTE (Lisplikejen @ 14/2/2023, 22:07) Especially with no disclosures or #ad on her most recent false lash videos. Even though you click through her “shop my Instagram” and it clearly says “commissionable link” under a picture of the false lashes. I’m so over influencers and shady advertising! I think the difference between sponsored content and affiliate links is that sponsored content is when the company pays her to promote a product or participate in an ad campaign, whereas an affiliate link is simply a commission when someone clicks on and purchases the product she linked. I think that merely calling it a commissionable link satisfies the requirement for affiliate link disclosures. But we allllll know that Kate is out here putting #ad in white font on a white background trying to hide her paid promotions - and we all know it's because people are less likely to purchase a product if they think she was paid to shill it and the recommendation didn't come out of her own genuine heart.
Exactly. It’s funny to read her response when I KNOW there are screenshots of her hiding her as disclosures. I also feel like commissionable links are shady, because even if she doesn’t really like a product, she can still post the link and make money. And consumers are just supposed to trust these influencers I think if influencers are making money from a product a consumer purchases, it needs to be upfront and clear PERIOD. |

| | Is anyone here following #lashgate? How Makayla N from tik tok had a paid promotion for a mascara and clearly put on fake lashes for the after picture, claiming it was the mascara? I asked K8 what he thoughts were about lashgate but of course, no response. It’s bringing forward a conversation about deceptive advertising by influencers. So many influencers in the beauty community are doing shady stuff (including our own k8) like hiding #ad in white lettering on a white background or putting it somewhere tiny we can’t see. I know a lot of us are ready for this influencer bubble to pop and this might be a step in that direction. |

| | What bothers me the most about our *lovely* k8 is how she talks to her followers. She almost scolds people for asking questions without going on a search party through her blog or LTK page. It’s literally your JOB (that you have to have yearly summits about barf) to answer follower questions. If you don’t want to interact other than receiving complements, why are you even an influencer? Get over yourself k8. |

I guess I don’t understand why she wouldn’t want to be monitored or have cervical checks. I refuse to watch it. Is she actually admitting to not following her doc's advice???
She was hesitant to do anything for preeclampsia even though she very clearly had it. And didn’t want to be monitored regularly before or during labor. Also talked about whether they wanted baby’s vaccines after birth. Girl, you had fentanyl in labor! I’m sure the eye drops won’t do any more damage than that |

It drives me crazy!! That’s hilarious. Glad I’m not alone in my cringe. For me, it’s her overuse of saying “sheet pan” all the time and eggs being said as eyygs instead of just egg—rhyming with leg or peg etc
YES!! I can’t even explain how she says stir. It’s just wrong and weird! As soon as she says it I have to click out of the video. Which is every video. |

| | Of course, k8 hated 80% of the books she read this year. I can’t even imagine being as disagreeable as her. She intentionally wants to dislike anything everyone else likes. |
