I've just watched Nurse's live Grin

She looked so petrified in the build up.

Did she really say that she started on the aloe gloop 8 years ago though?!

Spongebobette · 20/07/2019 09:39

Oh and she kept sniffing the SEALED PACKET and saying it smelled like strawberries

Ha haaaaaa

And she’s replied to a comment on the video saying she was dreading tasting it because of her gag reflex

So so funny

Spongebobette · 20/07/2019 09:42

And the whole thing was far too long, goodness knows what they do in all their ‘trainings’ re lives/ product reviews...the angle was unflattering, we had to watch her stirring the gloop for ages which was just boring.... she looked terrified of the product... confessed that the aloe gel made her gag too.

Placemarking - ❤️

Is anyone else starting to feel really uncomfortable reading Homeschool’s posts? I struggle to have sympathy for someone who has exploited so many people, but she clearly has deep seated issues and she’s now exploiting herself in the name of FL.

Whiterangey · 20/07/2019 12:47

It would have worked as one of those videos where someone buys something that sounds a bit dodgy from the internet and tries it at home.

Here are the deets regarding the supergreens:

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaves powder (34%), berries and cream flavor [acacia gum, berry flavour (raspberry and strawberry), citric acid, silicon dioxide], magnesium (magnesium carbonate), broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) leaves powder (9%), barley (Hordeum vulgare L) grass, spirulina, proprietary fruits and vegetables blend*: apple (Malus domestica) powder, sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L) fiber, rice (Oryza sativa) flour, red pepper (Capsicum frutescens) powder, tomato (lycopersicon esculentum) powder, strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) powder, cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) powder,acerola (Malpighia glabra L.) juice concentrate, spinach (Spinacia oleracea) powder, cabbage (Brassica oleracea capitate) powder,onion (Allium cepa) powder, broccoli (Brassica oleraca italica) powder, kale (Brassica oleracea) powder, mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) powder, pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) powder, beet (Beta vulgaris L.) powder, blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) powder, acai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) powder, goji (Lycium barbarum L.) powder, carrot (Daucus carota sativa) powder, grape (Vitis vinifera) juice concentrate, pomegranate (Punica granatum) juice concentrate, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Kale (Brassica oleracea var. sabellica) leaves powder (2%), wolfberry (Lycium barbarum L.) fruit powder (2%), grape (Vitis vinifera) seed powder, green tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze.) leaf powder, sweetener (steviol glucosides), vitamin E [d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, silicon dioxide], aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) leaf powder.

Notice that the flavouring is artificial. The vitamin C, vitamin E, and Magnesium is added separately and is not as a result of all the fruit and vegetable powders in there. Surely if the fruit and vegetables lost none of their goodness through the drying out and crushing into a powder there would be no need to add vitamins as they would all be present already.

Spongebobette · 20/07/2019 12:52

Also, added sweetener (stevia)

You don’t need to sweeten your vegetables

Whiterangey · 20/07/2019 13:10

If I was ingesting something that contained onion and cherries together i'd expect it to taste bad. Neither of those two need sweetening.

It's almost as if it's a load of rubbish designed to part bots with their money and other than the added vitamins and magnesium has no nutritional value.

The amounts are also tiny and it would be MUCH cheaper to get those vitamins in a multi vitamin from Boots than it is to pay £1.25 per day. That is really expensive when all you are talking about is 80mg of vitamin C, 6mg of vitamin E, and 125mg of magnesium.

Boots sell one for £8.99 that will last you 180 days. It was the first one I saw so you could likely find one cheaper.

Spongebobette · 20/07/2019 13:43

It’s just another way that Forever Living rinses bots of their money
You absolutely do not need to ingest Aloe Vera, never mind how ‘pure’ it is
You do not need to drink powdered vegetables
You do not need to take any of the pills or tablets they flog either
Save your money and spend it on real food.

Jigsawpuzzle · 20/07/2019 14:57

The bots do like real food look at them tucking in at Yawns shindig.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 20/07/2019 14:58

Stevia is still not proven to be entirely safe is it?

If you Google Stevia side effects there's a lot out there about possible side effects, especially with some existing conditions. It's also deemed as unsafe in some forms (stevia leaf and crude extracts are not approved by the US FDA for example))

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 20/07/2019 16:45

So Castle has literally unveiled their new "lodge" and literally done a live to show it off. Literally.

Literally, since when have caravans been called lodges?

Literally.

Spongebobette · 20/07/2019 17:40

It’s really important, when you are a top bot, to show off your spending power. You need to show your downline that you can literally afford a static caravan.

Whiterangey · 20/07/2019 17:46

It's literally a caravan, not a new one either.

Not as new or as nice as the one my friend just bought.

Of course my friend didn't buy hers with money she has scammed from people, people who now can't even afford to take their kids away due to the debt they are in so Castle can buy her trailer.

Jayblue · 20/07/2019 20:21

Hi

Does anyone know anything about Kyanite Evolutions? Someone I know is considering a job with them, and asked me what I think. It sounds like it's initially door to door sales, paid commission only but after 6 weeks, you get the chance to recruit your own "team".

Even though they haven't been asked to buy product yet it sounds dodgy to me- so I wondered if anyone had heard about it on here?

ticktock19 · 20/07/2019 20:23

Broke (on gf's page) has put up a cringeworthy screenshot of him propositioning a customer care advisor from his bank 🙈🤦‍♀️😱

CanoeDoYouThinkYouAre · 20/07/2019 20:40

I know Broke but I'm drawing a blank with girlfriend. Any clues?

Whiterangey · 20/07/2019 20:58

She shares the same name with Castle's sister.

The facebook profile is HernameBroke Then her surname, but should come up with just the first bit.

Whiterangey · 20/07/2019 21:07

Just read the chat.

Yeah, an employee is really going to jump on that, their bosses will be so pleased.

I've had a few giggles while chatting to amazon via chat, I once had delivered a lockable document box which was delivered locked with the keys inside. Had a lot of fun via the chat with that one, it was hysterical. It was only banter while my problem was sorted out, as soon as it was the chat ended as the guy I was chatting to was working and that was it.

Broke is a twat.

I wonder if his chat was in relation to asking for an overdraft increase.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 20/07/2019 21:40

I tell you what, I'm frequently shocked when I discover the ages of FL bots.

Clearly aloe shite doesn't do much for the ageing process (except maybe accelerate it).

34? Really?!

ticktock19 · 20/07/2019 21:46

My thoughts exactly @Whiterangey, twat is a great description of him

CanoeDoYouThinkYouAre · 20/07/2019 21:50

Ah, I'm not too au fait with Castle clan, not sure who sis is!

Spongebobette · 20/07/2019 21:52

I agree about Homeschool

When she was my friend’s upline a few years ago she presented herself very differently; super successful, no problems, life was a breeze

She’s digging deep now, talking about her own problems in order to convince others to follow her/ trust her/ sign up under her. Sadly I can see this leading her to expose more and more as she runs out of material

Whiterangey · 20/07/2019 23:14

I don't like Homeschool's husband. I detest him.

That's all i'm going to say about that.

MLMhun · 21/07/2019 06:56

Is Homeschool 34? 😂😂😂😂

Just watched nursebot’s live yesterday. Hysterical!
