Anyone else fallen for influencer hype like this?

I just found the Rhode phone case I impulse bought last year… and it's my biggest regret. Can’t believe I dropped 20+ bucks on this plastic regret box. Like, what spell did Hailey cast on me?

She’s honestly a marketing mastermind, because I was definitely the clown. At this point, I’ll call it “tuition” for my crash course in consumerism. What’s the dumbest influencer purchase you’ve ever made? Drop it below!

I agree. A lot of influencer merch is cheaply made and you can tell they are up charging so much just because it’s “their product”. But people fall for it and it will never stop lol

Advice I would give anyone starting out a craft business ⭐️✨☀️
As someone who has been a full-time artist for the last four years, this is some advice I would give myself or anyone when you’re in that stage of questioning your whole life existence. I’m not going to lie, it will feel very scary. You’ve given up all “knowing” of a future that a job may give you.

A hand holds a purple perfume bottle labeled 'LIQUID KISS FALLEN ANGEL'. Text overlays ask 'HAVE ANYONE ELSE SMELLED THIS?' and state 'This was a I just like it / I hate it type of fragrance for me'. Pink flower graphics are also visible.
Have anyone else smelled this?
I can honestly say this perfume was a definite hit or miss for me because it just smelling it in the perfume bottle and spraying it in the air. It was OK, but it definitely did not like how it smelled on my skin. #Frequencies #CitiTrends #perfume

You don’t need to be an influencer.
Most people still think network marketing is just about selling products. But here's the truth: It's a $192 billion global industry, and 75% of it is driven by women like me. We're not chasing trends. We're building freedom, flexibility, and financial power, on our own terms. Yo
