At least she's going to prom, something I never did. 

Homecoming :) Prom is in the spring.

Something seems off about her body proportions... can't put my finger on what it is though...

It's the little jacket.  The dress would probably look better without it.

Just shows you, I thought I read prom, and didn't realize.  That's a COL for ya!

I looked at who Savanah follows. She has over 2,000 followers, I don’t have the patience to look through that many!

She “follows”:

Aspyn, Mitch, Logan, Michelle, Hunter, Gabe, Gwendlyn, Paedon, Maddie, Caleb, Janelle, Truely, Kody, Tony, Mykelti, Aurora, Christine, Robyn, and Ysabel.

Probably because when she checked out Meri’s page, she didn’t recognize the woman in the pictures…

I’m not wild about the outfit, but she’s quite lovely, imo.  She reminds me so much of Kate Hudson some years ago when she starred in Almost Famous, my favorite movie.  Check it out if you haven’t seen it.  It’s awesome.  Here’s some photos of Kate in the movie.  Man, hair, lips and eyes very similar to Savanah.  Amazing.

Janelle, FFS, stop shilling every quackish new "health" fad and go put and get a job. No one cares about your chicken cutlets or water supply. You will be happier. I promise.

This woman……..

Oh boy... I missed this post and actually thought you guys meant the IV thingy as a joke. It's a typical Janelle stupidity after all; doing something 'healthy' and lazy.

To be honest, those pics and her story anger me. This woman really has no clue! Twelve years ago I got a severe food poisoning when 6 months pregnant and got admitted after 5 days of hardly any food or water intake and can tell you exactly what that feels like. It's awful and you're completely drained of every speck of energy too.  I spent 2.5 days hooked up on a fast flowing IV.  So shut up about hydrating😡

It may have been Savanah's choice not to be included in Maddie's wedding party, but I would think with only 2 girls in a family of 6 kids there would have been a closer bond between the two of them.  Maybe Savanah didn't play suitable homage to Maddie as the Queen Bee.  Sometimes I wonder if Maddie is actually Meri's daughter, they share so many unlikable traits.

Im only speculating based on my very scant knowledge of family dynamics. ...Until Savannah came along, Maddie was The Girl of J's family. She might have some resentment. It happens.

I wouldn't have ever thought of that, but it makes a lot of sense.  

[ginger90]

Looks like Janelle made the trip too, I assume with Christine. 🤷🏼‍♀️ These people are confusing.

[LilyD]

For some reason, I find Janelle not looking good in this picture… it may be a lack of make up but she  looks so puffy and tired?
I’d  recommend taking another IV bag or a gallon of Plexus, it’ll definitely do you more good than a proper diet, working out or have a full medical exam…(obviously being sarcastic here😉)

That's not puffy and tired.  That's Janelle putting on a happy face watching Truely wolf down that snack and annoyance that she didn't slip away from the group and come there on her own so she could indulge herself.

Oh, no, no, you must have forgotten that thanks to Plexus, Janelle doesn’t have any sugar cravings or need caffeine. She would be happy to sell some to you!

Janelle went but Savanna didn’t? Wonder if Kody is staying in the RV with her? Or maybe she’s the one taking the picture?

I don't think Janelle is with them - she probably heard about the UFO hotel project and found a photo on line. 

I Google Mapped Baker, CA and it's on the 15, if Christine is driving to SoCal from FS she'd be taking the 40.

Also I got stuck in a rabbit hole and found the Kickstarter page for this project. Let's say I'm skeptical that this will actually happen as Baker is out in the middle of nowhere.

I could see this. 
 

Also- Maddie and Savannah are 9 years apart. Given Maddie was out of the house and married at 19 (approximately), half of Savannah’s life they haven’t lived together. Maddie also had other sisters closer to her age to hang out with, and it was LOGAN who was the natural caregiver of that group of kids (not Maddie). I wouldn’t be surprised if Savannah was closer to Logan and Aspyn than Maddie. 
 

I am glad she’s going to homecoming- the dress is cute, looks a smidge too light but maybe it’s stretchy. I think it would be cuter without the jacket.

Janelle was in the photo at the coffee shop. Or was that in AZ?

If you would like some insight into a mask vs. anti-mask microcosm of society, read the comment section of this photo (unless Janelle deleted them).

If you're smart (unlike me), just scroll right on by and enjoy your day.

Is that a Facebook post?  I would read them if someone posted them here!

This family and their endless vacations.  No wonder the 'wives' are shilling MLM crap (except for dear Robyn since Kootie said she's too pretty to cook and work.)

It was still up on Janelle's Instagram about an hour ago when I checked.  Her Instagram is open, you just google Janelle Brown Instagram.

They may be cutting costs by sharing a single hotel room with 2 double beds, but still...

But how can she not see that she’s just REALLY BAD at the health profession? Why can’t she put it aside as a business and get help for herself? How can someone not see how uneducated they are on a subject, despite their efforts? I can empathize a bit as an autistic person—sometimes decision making paralyzes me, but I still know what I’m good at and what I’m not good at. 

I’m not great at geometry. I can get by, but I’ll never be good enough to educate other people on the subject. Unlike Janelle, I know better than to start a tutoring business and fake my way along. I can’t believe she keeps bumbling along with her Strive shit, giving bad—and possibly dangerous—advice.

I suspect it's the Dunning-Kruger effect, combined with the fact that she gets huge amounts of praise from her followers for whatever she does and that this is easy and it's something she knows.  Why stop when it's working for her?

I believe it is like Fosca says above.  First rule of business. Know your market/customer. Janelle gets responses when she talks about weight struggles and health.  Strive is such a nonsensical "business".  Janelle literally rambles around vaguely and calls it a "community supporting healthy lifestyle", for all we know it is only to keep her interacting with fans and a tax write off.

ETA: Their true business will always be the show, everything else is just a side gig.

Yeah.  Post about a 'Slimdown' and then post pictures of deep fried stuff.  How stupid.

Try and push the pink cure call drink ridding you of sugar cravings….and post a churro 🤔.  Think someone wised her up that it was not good marketing for her!  Maybe for Disneyland!

It's still up on her Instagram story for several more hours. I once dated a guy with a pencil-thin you know what. This picture reminded me of him LOL. The relationship was, um short-lived. I might have to delete this comment.

50PV - Plexus Velocity?  (the speed at which it exits your system)?  Poison Variables?  Pressure Variance?  Proximate Void?  

It's probably Plexus Variety or something like that.  The first rule of culting - create a secret language so those involved feel like they are part of a special club.

I googled it and apparently it's some kind of purchase points. Like you have to purchase crap that's worth at least 50PV in order to participate. But it doesn't have a set value - it changes I guess. Totally confusing but I guess the Plexus Browns want to make damn sure they get their commission check.

Maybe her next hydration IV will be pumpkin spice too.

One of my mom’s friends (she’s in her 80’s), talks to my mom most days. She’s always describing things she had like fried bologna sandwich, Bojangle’s sausage biscuits, Buffalo wings, etc.  But, when my mom says she had a green garden salad with her dinner, her friend says, Oh No, my digestion can’t handle stuff like that!  😝 This kind of thing reminds me of Jenelle, though she does show salads occasionally….with a lot of salad dressing, of course.

Well, I can understand this. I have IDS-D and if I eat certain foods they will give me diarrhea. These foods include a lot of fruits and vegetables. High fat foods do not have the same effect.

Yup - it's a thing. FODMAPS are in a lot of "healthy" foods, but for people with IBS - watch out. 

Somehow, however, I doubt Janelle has ever heard of a FODMAP and would be looking at the nearest atlas to find one.

My niece who is a nurse said that eating salad every day is actually bad for your digestive tract.  It's too hard on the system.  My mom likes apples, but if she eats more than a few bites, it makes her belly hurt.

I would love to see her source because everything on the Mr. Google says otherwise.
