Hmm, no Lularoe hashtag

ETA: she sounds clinically depressed, as I was over the summer

And the thing is I can relate to a lot of what she posted.  Who knows what she is trying to say between the lines (because vague-posting is just so much dramz) but the basic sentiment is understandable.

Still filtering her face into unrecognizability, though.  Some things will never change.

Yeah, must be chosing that Super Wrinkle Smoothing, heart-shaped filter.  Her chin practically comes to a point.

I've seen a LOT more women doing that on social media lately. I get using good lighting and good angles and hate wrinkles like many women, but I stop short of using the filters. 

I will, however, consider Botox at some point. Let's kill those crow's feet and forehead creases for real, even if temporary.

"They say fall reminds us how beautiful it is to let things go. Sometimes letting things go is hard." - does this mean she has let go of LulaRoe or LLR is kaput and they have let go of her?  

Another $4.5 million lawsuit was filed in California in November 2019 on behalf of a group of consultants, who are alleging LuLaRoe is running an illegal pyramid scheme. Last fall, the company laid off all 167 workers in their Corona, California, warehouse and permanently closed it. Feb 22, 2020

This is exactly what I thought when reading this post.  I was like, yeah Meri, I totally get where you are right now and I can relate.  It also made me want to support her journey in some way.  Then I looked up and my very next thought was Jesus Meri, what the hell did you do to this photo?  Like how can you post something that seems raw and real and then manipulate your photo until it looks like some plastic faced doll?  I was right there with you, then I had to step off the train . . . 🤦

Very hypocritical. Yes, let's all be real and then airbrush our faces. 🤨

Btw, shipping and taxes are added at checkout, so that information shall remain a mystery.

[xwordfanatik]

Is she for real?  What person with a brain would pay that much for this, what with Mariah/Meri/Dog Hair in it?

I've seen catalogs lately that don't charge that much, and I'm pretty sure those kitchens don't have the above contaminants included.  Mind-boggling.

[riverblue22]

But, they are BAKED WITH LOVE!!!!!

[Kellyee]

I made a comment on one of Meri's Facebook Lives that she shouldn't complain about people thinking her REALITY show is reality. That she's putting it out there and has to live with how people perceive it. She said I was being snarky, and now my access to her Facebook Lives seems to have been revoked. But I can still buy her Lularoe crap, because she apparently doesn't hate me enough to refuse to take my money, LOL.

Meri is a self-important, repugnant asshat. From her over-priced stupid rice crispie treats and face-tuned photos to her lack of a spine (and inability to handle *any* criticism or observation), she can fade from her self-installed, over-inflated spotlight any time now.

So sick of this full-of-shit hypocrite.

Amen to this!  Money-grubbing bitch, is Meri.  Why anyone is still a 'fan' of hers is beyond me.

The fans do a virtual dance around her, gushing over how slender she is these days and how radiantly happy she appears.  They hail her with encouraging cries of "you GO girl".  I wonder how crestfallen they will be when the show resumes and they see the real Meri Brown, taking her place on the sofa looking like the sad-sack lump she really is.

[laurakaye]

"Gosh, Meri!  You look RADIANT!  And soooo skinny!  And your face has the unwrinkled plastic consistency of a mannequin!  What's your secret?  Pleeeeese tell us!!  OMG Are you back with Kody???  Do you and the other wives like go out to lunch together and just have the best time giggling and having so much fun??  OH - and can I get the XXL LuLaCarly extra long cardigan in the print where it looks like a clown is devouring Mickey Mouse??  THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH, I love you!!  Off to order some of those DEEEE-licious looking cranberry Rice Krispie treats from your haunted mansion, LOLZ!!!  Take all my money, RIGHT?!  Hahaha okay love you Meri keep up the great work you look fantastic!!!"

Not even if they were magic lol. 

[Kellyee]

Aren't rice crispy treats one of the easiest things to make?  Even with the extra stuff in them, don't you just mix it and bake it or something? Why would you have those shipped to you?? I get buying them at the grocery store or an outdoor market, but ordering online and paying shipping seems absurd.

[suomi]

They're not even baked. You melt marshmallows and butter and mix in the krispies plus whatever and press it into a pan and wait for it to set.

Meri's over-the-top ego is showing. Again. Krispie treats are the #1 kindergartener-with-adult-assistance recipe.

And $39.99 PLUS shipping and handling to receive a batch of stale treats that may or may not contain the following ingredients: dog hair, armpit hair, patchouli, dust, ghosts, orange-tinted foundation and drops of mascara-clumped tears.  YUMMY.

Are there international orders for those rice krispy treats so it's necessary to note USD? 

She's hanging the photo in the East Room? Is there an Oval Office to furnish too? 

[laurakaye]

Is Lizzie's even big enough to designate it a name like East Room?  By that definition, I am going to start calling my garage the South Room.

Also, I don't rilly think anyone cares about the hanging of an old family picture except the person hanging it and perhaps BlairMichael, who I think only comments out of pity.

Meri no doubt considers it a ringing endorsement to have Blair Michael's seal of approval.  She shouldn't get too carried away with his opinion, he doesn't seem to have credentials as an Interior Decorator or Designer, his bio designates him as an Interior Stylist and his qualifications for that are that he "took art classes from grade one all the way through high school".  Didn't we all?  I could cut and paste with the best of them in grade one.

I think there are two ways to take his comment .

My take is, it goes nicely with the rest of the crap.

Like Mariah, he has also bought 3 books (uncracked) on his profession, took a photo of them, and put it on his website: https://blairmichaeldesigns.com/

But I'm not sure who his designs would appeal to - my parents in the 1970s?  (but they did better without a designer)

I wonder which of his family members asked him not to use his real name as the company name.

I wonder how many of Meri's Rice Krispies Treats™ rice crispy treats BlairMichael has bought.

This looks like an extremely cramped, uncomfortable room.  You couldn’t even walk around the table to get a seat.  Who would hire him to do that?

[laurakaye]

The first photo on his site looks like it was taken straight off the set of a 1970's true crime Netflix documentary.

Who wants to bet that the blond older woman is his mommy.

And for someone who is trying to sell his designs, there are way too many pictures of him a la Meri.  I wouldn't chose a deocrator based on what he or she looks like, I want to see what kind of work he or she does.  These people.

It's unfortunate people do not realize how important the graphics are to selling imprinted items. Extremely sorry looking coasters Meri. I thought Aud was a graphic designer.

I can just imagine the puzzled look on the faces of my friends and family if I gifted them a set of 4 coasters imprinted with the name Lizzie's Heritage Inn.  They would be whispering behind my back..."do you think she's slipped over the brink?"....

[xwordfanatik]

Now I'm wondering...which Sister Wife has the most unsold inventory (not counting LLN crap.)

Meri with her Lizzie's junk,

Janelle with her Strive junk,

or Robyn, with her Sister Wife's Closet junk?

How much money have they wasted on that stuff, banking on their Z-list celeb status to sell their sycophantic fans ugly, overpriced trinkets they'll never use?  No wonder they all buy or rent huge houses that are another financial drain.  One fiduciary piss-poor decision after another.

[DakotaJustice]

slate is one of the worst materials to make coasters with that I can think of. I just imagine a cold sweating glass slide right off of it and onto the table!

Well, I for one would be very excited - I'd ask you, "ooh, you've been to an inn where Lizzie Borden used to live?  Cool!"  And then you'd tell me that no, you actually picked them up from the ex-wife of a plyg dude on TLC who looks like the Geico caveman, and Lizzie's is a semi-haunted B&B that sits across the road from the Parowan Prophet and that you also got a pair of slightly damp LuLaRoe leggings thrown in as a special gift, along with a hairy cranberry Rice Krispie treat...and THEN I'd lean over to Aunt Maude and ask her if Sandy has slipped over the brink........😂

Just wait 'til they find out that I spent $155. USD ($203. Canadian dollar equivalent) for the privilege of spending an evening in a Blair Michael approved facility, sitting on stiff little chairs lined up around the perimeter of the room, staring at photos of Meri Brown's ancestors, who may or may not have been pioneer polygamists.  Meri herself wasn't too sure of that originally. 

Then when they find out that those coasters cost $39.99 for 4 ($50. C) they will for sure be calling for the men in the white suits.

It doesn't even look like Lizzie's Heritage Inn, which has a wrap around porch on the front and at least one side.  The coaster must be a generic inn with Lizzie's name slapped on it.  Quite ugly.

The logo she uses on everything is the way it looked back in the day. Strange to me, for souvenirs.

As someone who makes mugs of all sizes...my favorite is 12 ounces.  However I am learning that a lot of people want mugs that are 20 to even 24 ounces.  I honestly don't know how you could lift a full mug of that size comfortably. I have made quite a few for my friend in Australia.  His common size is in the 8 ounce range.

And as for the topic...I agree that slate is the last thing you want for a coaster.  If you want to protect the surface from moisture from the cup/mug it will just run off the "coaster".  You need something that won't scratch the surface and yet be absorbent as well.

Has Meri left the B&B at all this year?

[ginger90]

I am a coffee drinker. One year one of my daughters got me a cup planter as a gift, and said if the coffee would stay hot, she could see me using it for my coffee.

This isn’t it, but this is what I mean:

Okay, I’m going to lay some positivity on ol Mer right now . . .  I think she looks good in that picture.  She looks happy and she isn’t tuned to make her look like a plastic doll or stretched to look like a stick figure.  She just looks like a normal happy person, and that’s enough.  She should do it more.  . . .  Now Mariah, still REALLY hate the eyes scrunched, Cheshire Cat grin.  This could be one of those “normal/not normal” photo features that the super market tabloids do sometimes . . .
