I am here to write, I'm a writer and I need to get around to writing on HERE more! I started this page initially because i'm a Makeup artist/Esthetican/Hairdresser and that's one of my passions and i would love to give advice or answer any questions to anyone who needs it. So, if you have any, don't be shy!
Thanks :)
Review i posted on Amazon, where i buy these on subscribe & save for YEARS, but they've gotten crappy lately & i want my review to be everywhere i can put it. who used to do reviews of products for the public to keep the companies honest & all of that. wasn't there a tv show when i was a little kid about that stuff? who does that now? anyone? i mean sure, the internet, but not like i mean. hmm, someone should be doing that, big time, have another show on tv or something. again, to keep quality GOOD & big companies honest!
i've been using these for years now & they seemed pretty good & strong before, but in recent months, maybe longer(?) they have gotten shabby, cheap!! i don't know what is going on here w/this company & these trash bags, but they claim to be "ULTRA STRONG" & they are soooo not anymore!! i have holes, big holes open in them simply putting them into my trash can,or pulling them out or even just TOUCHING them. what the heck is going on Hefty? this is NOT acceptable!! u guys are 1 of the priciest brands out there, you'd better fix your product or you're going to lose a LOT of customers, myself included & soon!!
okay, i pretty much love the tea itself & the packaging is good, but here is what i want to know...WHY is it that sooo many of the bags leak or tear or have holes in them?? i'm not 100% sure which it is, as i don't SEE any holes or tears or leaks in the bags when i put them in the cup. while i'm steeping it, i am VERY careful, because i'm sick & tired of drinking mouthfuls of HERBS instead of tea. so, they are leaking or hole-y or tearing at some point in the cup? i'm guessing there are bigger holes than i'm seeing or they're getting minor tears once in the cup AND/OR they are made poorly & leak out somehow. though i have examined them usually after i use them & remove them from the cup after i've had the tea. i only ever use 1 bag per cup too. so they aren't "overused", though many people do do that, i have in the past.
so Yogi company can u PLEASE do some better quality control w/your tea bags. this is NOT cheap tea, no tea is cheap anymore. nothing is cheap anymore. greedflation abounds everywhere, especially in stores, supermarkets, food items. everyone jumped on the greed wagon, it's ridiculous & insane, as well as wrong. greed, greed, greed!! it's an ugly trait, especially in companies that are supposed to be all about pleasing the customers. you all gonna please us by bending us over? bankrupting us? making us all struggle to make ends meet? i saw ONE box of this tea, here on walmart being sold for $90!!! NINETY DOLLARS for ONE BOX OF TEA!!!? can u imagine! i saw aa similar price like that on here as well for 1 roll of paper towels, 1 roll. was $40 or something equally insane. i think they were both 3rd party sellers, NOT walmart themselves, but walmart has been on the bandwagon for SURE! doubling, tripling, quadrupling (& more) prices overnight, no joke. okay, i'll get off my soapbox for now. :)
ps. the tea costs MORE $$ on here, the tea's official website/maker than anyplace else i've seen it! there goes what i was just speaking of again. imagine that. haha ;)
if u want to save $$ shopping/buying online...add this & mention me when u do! it's real, not scam or spam or whatever. i use it, even on amazon, saves a lot of money. cheers
this is a very quickly typed response to a simple survey question from ebay regarding what i think of the "offers" i get on there. I let shit fly obviously, they have screwed me over SO many times. just kept my money out of greed, not giving a crap, greed, not giving...(haha u get the point). i had FOURTEEN "returns", items never received, blatant theft of my money that they NEVER refunded or took care of, though i reported them asap & took all the proper steps, filed claims. made & signed affidavits, u name it. was a whole scheme deal by the sellers, (that they let continue to sell), u couldn't even leave negative feedback, as it was not within the shipping time they specified (over 90 days), big old mess. they also have NOT refunded shipping i bought but couldn't print out, many times. they have forced me to refund damaged orders (thanks to shippers or customer to get something free), telling me i was covered & wouldn't lose my funds, then reneged on their promises. u can't reach a live person to save ur life, literally. so here is my "survey" below: (they asked what i thought of them charging people asap who offered lowered purchase prices. weird question huh?)
i think that's good. i wish u didn't take so much of OUR $$ though! it used to be so much less AND u used to let US keep our own tax! shipping is NOT free either. poshmark & other sites let the sellers keep about 90% or MORE of their sales. also, u have NOT REFUNDED SHIPPING I PAID FOR & DIDN"T USE & CONTACTED U THE MOMENT I DIDN'T USE IT & MANY TIMES AFTER. U DID NOT HAVE MY A-Z GUARANTEE COVERAGE OR MY BACK, THOUGH THAT'S WHAT I WAS PROMISED AFTER AN ORDER GOT SMASHED BY BUYER OR POST OFFICE!!
(further survey question here:) u could stop ME from being UNPAID by YOU, EBAY! *see above*! that would improve my experience GREATLY, i can go sell my products elsewhere & stop u from getting MY money. that would help me also. also having LIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE HELP ON THE PHONE, not only recordings that then hang up on you would be VERY HELPFUL especially when u promise to have us covered! u have quite the little system of non-help going on. everything is "go read this article for help". when did articles ever HELP someone w/a live person needed issue? not that i WANT to call u or anyone regarding ANY problems. that is just more stress. never a good thing one has to do, so why would someone be searching that out? bored, dumb people w/too much time on their hands? u can easily filter them out. instead, u filter EVERYONE OUT! THAT is bad customer service period.
NO business/company is SO great or SO irreplaceable as to not lose business & sellers & customers. we are ALL your bread & butter, your precious money, right? ur lifeblood. u should REALLY care for your sellers MUCH more, like at all, would be great for a start. TY
$30 basically for less than 9 OUNCES of SHOWER GEL! SOAP. $30 SOAP is what u are paying for. yes, they add oil, fragrance, "quality ingredients", but u can buy great HUGE bottles of shower gel with quality ingredients for $8, $6, less & even a bit more. generally, under $10!! they are TOO greedy & overpriced! i'm a makeup artist, esthetician & cosmetologist. i know all about skin, skin care, makeup, etc. i have studied it my whole life, worked in those fields, even in movies, etc. & i know all about ingredients. the general public may not, but it's not a good look!
yes, it leaves ur skin soft, yes, it smells great of almond oil, but then again so to millions of others! no pun intended on the millions. :)
this particular store has DESTROYED THE SALADS from El Pollo Loco! totally!! they have changed the cilantro salad dressing, to be cheap i'm sure. there is no longer any resemblance to the original cilantro salad dressing. just gone! i think they were watering it down w/something bad til they fully switched it over. to try to fool the customers they ALL deny that it has changed. i have asked about it & mentioned it numerous times. many of the employees have not been there long enough to notice or don't eat the salads. it HAS CHANGED! it's bad. awful. horrible taste. tastes like a really cheap, bad ranch or green goddess, the horrible old-school salad dressing (blech!) there's a reason they stopped making that one. i recall it from when i was a little kid & no one like it! like the ken's cheap ass packet they hand out for ranch. they try to make it a bit green, but check out other pollo's AND more importantly, the commercials. it is the old/original dressing on the commercials! i even have SAVED original (not all that long ago) cilantro dressing. looks completely different, tastes completely different & BAD! there is NO cilantro in it! that u can taste anyway, or see really. i can't believe they would DO THIS! are allowed to do this? doesn't the brand care about it's product? it's quality? it's reputation? i guess not. they are NOT cheap either & the quality & quantity has gone down, down, down. they have scrawny little cheap chickens now; they aren't marinated half the time. wth are they doing? it's all greed & greedflation. doesn't EVERYONE know that the key to running/keeping a successful business is QUALITY! send graham norton here or to any of the locations. woe to them if that were to happen. aired on tv, written about everywhere, informing MILLIONS of people how crap they have become. why do restaurants, companies always seem to start out great (when they do), then start to take shortcuts & turn to crap? i don't understand it. please the customer! that IS ur business. i know a lot of people don't give a crap what they put in their mouth, & eat any garbage, including fat, gristle, things that have gone bad. no offense to anyone, but my palate is too choosy & so is my mind. i want what i pay for! properly done too. also, the shrimp salads, which is the last 2 things i got from them in last 2 months? the flavor is good on the shrimp (they will give u colon issues though), but they are SO overcooked it's ridiculous. they are hard, chewy as hell & like at least doubly overcooked. c'mon! then the rest of the salad is a joke. like salad from a mix bag, a few pepitas (too few), WAAY less avocado than pictured & advertised. oh, a sprinkle of cotija cheese. like a few dots. ur lucky if u see it or taste it. so, u basically have a plain salad w/some tiny, hard shrimp, a tablespoon of avocado & some gross salad dressing for $14? really?
and YES, i realize that the cost of EVERYTHING has gone up & probably continues to go up, but so have all of their prices, along w/everyone else's. "oh, we have an overhead & our supplies are really expensive" blah blah, but again, their prices have doubled & more. u shouldn't go into or stay in a business if u are going to let ur quality go to crap! many don't notice or care is their thought? maybe they don't? customers i mean? i don't know how many do, but every customer is important to a business! each & every customer. their money, their influence on friends, family, the INTERNET, word of mouth, all of it plays a part. indeed. :)
this is a review i posted on the site i got it from.
my ring does NOT match the picture. it is all wonky. thick & thin & not even at all. it could be said "this is designer" so it's not supposed to be "perfect", but the pictured ones look like they are perfect & even. of course, they aren't going to picture some uneven wonky thing, right? i think it also states "designed by ana luisa" made in china on the package? if i'm not mistaken. so, outsourcing for cheaper labor to other countries, is not uncommon. i don't personally agree w/it, especially when so many jobs are needed here in this country, but i'm not here to discuss political concepts. i have a few of her items & same w/them. crooked, not uniform, some badly so.
i just think for the price point she has set (& it's NOT real gold for starters), that there should be a LOT more attention paid to quality control.
btw: i have the SAME EXACT RING DESIGN IN SILVER! sterling silver. i have had it for 20 plus years. it is a bit larger, the braid, it's totally perfect though in execution & it was NOT pricey at all! no designer name, just a random silver ring, i think i bought it in venice beach on the boardwalk? u know, just cheap vendors, (as in price). it's lasted perfectly. :)
that's the main reason i chose thing ring "oh i can get it in gold (color) too! cool". not so much. wah wahh
ANOTHER SCHOOL SHOOTING yesterday am! 2 KIDS, 2 TEACHERS KILLED! 9 INJURED! didn't kids JUST go back to school? this is the 35th school shooting in '24 alone! so far, that is. it's a good thing that access to guns is sooo easy & the number of guns in the US is insanely huge. yep. SUCH a great thing. guns everywhere, anyone able to get their hands on one/many. i don't have a problem w/regular, responsible, mentally capable, mentally healthy (but really, who is totally that anymore? joking. kinda) OF AGE people owning guns, they have the right. we have the right. but i'm also willing to have ALL guns removed off of this planet, if it will protect children from getting slaughtered & millions of other innocent people as well. guns r NOT necessary! unless u have to live off the land & hunt, which is a very small percentage of humans in this world. ESPECIALLY any automatic or semi-automatic guns. there is NOT need for them period! everyone can say: "oh well what about war, what about law enforcement & so on". again, if no one had guns, it wouldn't' be a concern. i know that's virtually impossible to accomplish & i don't want to live in a 1984 or handmaiden's tale (*i don't know what that world is like via the series continuation of the story, it could b gun city now. i only read the book way back & saw a bit of season 1 of series) world either. but this HAS TO STOP!! WHATEVER IT TAKES TO ACCOMPLISH THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!! NO MORE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. NO MORE SHOOTINGS PERIOD. unless Hitler comes back to life or any other evil motherfucker! but even then, he could be hanged, stabbed, choked, all kinds of methods. not advocating ANY violence, i'm so sick of ALL VIOLENCE!! i'm just giving a wild example ala devil's advocate kinda thing. ok, cheers all :)
It's simply my opinion, some people love it, i see, but not me. no siree. i received this from Allure as well, & I tried it immediately & wah wahh. it's like NO mascara!! it doesn't lengthen, it doesn't thicken, it doesn't do anything! i put on THREE COATS as well, i really tried to cake some on to some effect, AND it did smear on me too. very hot day (always in cali in "summer", see: always) & it blobbed or ran underneath my eyes, w/sweat from the heat. i'm sure having moisturizer, foundation (powder too though for moisture/oil blotting purposes!) didn't help it's cause, but again,it did NOTHING for my lashes!! it maybe darkened them slightly, that's it. not thicker, longer, etc. in the LEAST & that was the 1 claim "longer", so i expected that 1 at least. i'm a makeup artist, cosmetologist & esthetician, so i've tried and/or used almost every mascara out there, so i know. in MY opinion. i can see why the people who love it do, they are most likely the people that don't love the "made up" look, want something very natural, 'cause that's what it is, very natural, so natural it's almost not there. the other group of lovers can be very young and/or those w/already beautiful, lush, thick, long, gorgeous lashes, or lush, thick, etc. but very LIGHT colored lashes. that would work for them too, in their preferences, just a slight darkening. my lashes are no slouch in the lash dept, they are fairly long, thick & dark, but i like them to be "POW", as much as possible. i do NOT like clumping & the 40 coat look or wear false lashes either. i like natural lashes, just as long & thick & dark as they can be. they do frame your eyes after all (along w/your eyebrows, of course), no clumps, just a smooth darkening, thickening, no smudging, beautiful thick lash! that's also easily washed off w/a good cleanser or double cleanse ala a facial, OR eye makeup remover, followed by a single or double cleanse. that's my thing. okay, i've rambled quite enough. hope i helped anyone who was unsure or encouraged those who know exactly what they want, the nature lovers. no besmirchment intended. respect & love to all. :)
