Aspyn Brown: She Has The Man, But May Eventually Get "The Family"

True. Frighteningly and sickeningly enough, it's much deeper than that. The men marry their half-sisters, cousins and nieces. They believe that they are descendants of Jesus so they inbreed "to keep the blood in the family." 

How do they think they descend from Jesus?    This makes my head hurt.

Janelle can partner up with Meri and offer Strive Workshops at the B&B, with breathing workshops, vegetables, and other rockstar health tips.  On a serious note, I think Janelle fans would pay up.

Not a bad idea.  Maybe someone from TLC will see this, and if we see an episode about this next season we will know where the idea originated.   I am afraid I know one person who would do this.  (and it is not me).  This person not only follows Janelle's Strive FB page, but is friends with Meri.   I had no idea fans of the show would actually be accepted as FB friends by any of the Browns.

We can also give advice to people who weight 600+ pounds.   I really want to "star" in this program.

Guess she figures she should start her MLM career while they are still on TV so she'll fit in better with her sister wives once Mitch starts adding them on.

Is it just me or does Aspyn look different in that picture.  I have never heard of this product. Aspyn looks like she has lost a lot of weight in her face.

It is my belief that MOST employers care more about your productivity, your personality, your work ethics and honesty than they do if you go home to one wife or several.   A man can have one wife and have a nasty turbulent home life that flows over into the work place and a polygamist can have a fairly harmonious family life that is never spoken of away from the household.   People have said on this board many times that the Browns see persecution where there is none, and that is most certainly the truth.  Of course there are biases and prejudices and unkind remarks and stares and comments - but that isn't the norm.  Once Flagstaff all gets over the buzz of the Brown clan, people will simply not CARE unless that is one of their personal pet peeves.  I don't believe there is any reason the Browns could not get a real job.  "Fans" are not going to mob the business for a chance to touch their arm hairs.

I agree with you completely, but I don’t think they do 😀 And I know other “mainstream” people who think it’s ideal to be self-employed for one reason or another. Possibly (likely) the Browns are dreaming of getting rich quick by selling crap, but I. Think they also want autonomy.

Oh yeah - I wasn't arguing with YOU at all!  lol      I was just thinking about the Browns and how rarely they have a "real" job - and how they all have this persecution complex.

They want to work when it suits them and blow off work when it doesn't.  No employer will put up with that kind of crap from anybody no matter what marital status they claim.

The persecution thing is all a load of BS.  They are just lazy and entitled and "want money for nothing and the chicks for free".  Because, you know, polygamists.

She sold out of detox.  The mad rush for the sludge was greater than the product on hand.  I know I bought like eleventy-seven bottles of this fantastic stuff from her because... well you know... Aspyn is on TV!  She's a celebrity poly-in-the-making!

Oh, YOU were the reason I was only able to buy eleventy-two!  This kind of crap really bothers me.  I KNOW it is up to people to do the research and make healthy choices themselves but when "celebrities" shill this semi-toxic shit it really seems like they are using their powers for evil.  Granted Lulano has the power to render you temporarily blind but at least the effects reverse themselves when you are exposed to real clothes.  

A quick google search on the risks of this shit reaveals:

The consumption of Teami Skinny tea can cause side effects that include excessive urination, weight loss, bloating, constipation, nausea, and skin breakouts.

Dandelion root, for instance, is said to have natural diuretic properties. This means that it constantly stimulates your body to flush out fluids. This may deprive your body of essential minerals and result in dehydration, which can have detrimental effects including; dizziness, sensitivity to light, and more.

Other probable Teami Skinny side effects include:

Heartburn

Diarrhea

Stomach upset

Irritation

Yup, I want more of this!!!

[giaNtsandYankees]

Guys, I got more for you. Are you ready for it?

Rosemary (Thompson) Williams' (Mitch's aunt - half or whole, I'm not sure). parents are...

Lynn Anderson Thompson (as we know) and Donna Beth (Allred) Jessop (Aspen's great-great aunt).

Beth Allred Jessop (sister to Rulon Allred, Rosemary's grandmother and Christine's great aunt) has had two daughters (with Joseph Lyman Jessop) that had married Joseph Blaine Thompson. I'm not sure if this Thompson is kin to Lynn. It's a possibility. I still need to do some digging.

I had found Lynn's mother though. Apparently she was married four times. Her fourth marriage was to...Christine's grandfather Rulon Clark Allred. But he's definitely not Lynn's father. It was either Joseph Orlando Thompson or William John Worth Kilgrow. (Some records has Lynn's surname as Kilgrow).

On a random note: I do believe that a lot of the Jessops in the AUB community are related to each other be it close or distant. It turns out that Joseph Lyman Jessop was the only Jessop to follow Rulon when he organized the Apostolic United Brethren which was organized the same year as the FLDS in 1954. But a few Jessops could had left FLDS and joined AUB. It's possible.

I have no way of knowing but I think she probably got negative feedback.

For one thing she didn't even mention or point out that you shouldn't take anything without consulting your doctor.

Most people who promote supplements, cleanses and other health food items post a simple disclaimer or warning.

Of course the Brown's will promote anything that comes with a dollar attached... thankfully the others are promoting items that don't go in your body and could harm you.

Lulunooo patterns might produce temporary blindness and make you look stupid but beyond that you're OK....  Cleansing teas can make some people sick.

To me, her fingernails just look dirty, like she'd been digging in the garden without gloves.

Another grifter looking for an easy way to make money. What happened to her college education and a real job?  Oh, wait, she's a Brown.

[MakingBacon]

I think that a lot of the Brown kids, along with their parents, think they are too good for real jobs where you have to show up to work everyday, be on time and take instruction from someone else. Notice the only ones with real jobs are rarely on the show? I am not sure how much money Aspyn could make from the nails thing since she and Mykelti basically have the same small potential clients from the Sister Wives fans pool. I worked while going to sho full time. There is no reason Aspyn couldn’t have a part-time real job while in school. These people seem to always be trying to take the easy way out. 

[deirdra]

Maybe the backlash was that the Teami Skinny tea did not appear to help with weight loss, so now she is using her doughy hands to promote stick-on nail glitter.

I think all of the daughters aspire to be SAHMs once they start having children.  They grew up with this type of "business" and see nothing wrong with it as a way to bring in extra cash while staying home with their children.  They probably all appreciated having Christine around as she was probably their only real source of stability and are looking to recreate that feeling for their own kids.

[TurtlePower]

Ok the nail strips remind me of Jamberry but are easier to apply. Whatever happened to Jamberry? Oh yeah—they shut down, leaving thousands of sales reps stiffed. These color street strips reportedly do chip, too—more easily than Jamberry ever did. 

The only thing that’s ever worked for me is shellac done in a salon. Stayed until I had it removed.

Exactly between the way she's holding her hand and the color of the nail strip which does not flatter her skin tone... Nothing about that pic would make me want to purchase what she's selling.  Ugh!

Can't they think of this stuff?

Show a pretty color and possibly your hand holding a pretty tea cup with hints of same color as your nails on the cup design... A pretty floral or something... Not just your hand with fingers splayed out in front of you face.   *blech*

The competition to be a social media "influencer" (grrrr!) is fierce and anything that gives one the upper hand (haha) is a big plus - knowing how to frame your shots is important, almost as important as knowing how to SPELL (I'm looking at YOU, Mykelti!).

Kody would become apoplectic at the thought of his daughters at an outdoor music festival, where scantily clad bodies are the norm.  He would instruct the mothers to forbid attendance at such an event, much like he passed his morality buck to Meri when setting sleeping arrangements for Pudge and Sludge.

The older kids all do seem to have minds of their own and follow their own hearts but it wouldn't stop Kody from attempting to impose his own value system on them, no matter what age they are.  Examples would be the Mariah and Audge sleeping arrangements and his snide remark to Logan over the consumption of alcohol at Aspyn's wedding.

Parents are always going to have advice and opinions. One thing I actually like about this crazy setup is that the kids do seem to have been allowed to have their own thoughts and opinions, and are making their own mistakes and successes. Huge contrast with the Duggars, for example.

He really is quite something, cocky asshole.

Most parents who make comments about sleeping arrangements etc do it from a position of actually being conservative in their view of such things and aren't bed hoppers themselves.

Kody is sleeping with 4 different women while only being legally married to one.

He's got quite the nerve to comment on anyone else's sleeping arrangements or if someone wants to have a drink at a wedding.. Ugh!

Yup typical beliefs that allow men to do whatever the hell they want under the guise of a calling from God.

Meanwhile the women have to be "sweet" and pop out one kid after another and the kids have to go along with the nonsense until they're old enough to get the hell away from it.

Yup. A belief system designed by a lazy ass con man who wanted a whole lot of young women.

Women are conditioned and the groups segregate themselves so that they are 1. afraid of the outside world and 2. if they get to that outside world they don't know how to function within it.

""Women must agree or be destroyed..."" I'm paraphrasing, but that's the gist of it.
