I see Novowels has put the the vowels back. See Yawns latest recruitment plea (stuck record syndrome) and her name is on the likes.

Yawn's clearly unresearched low carb efforts appear to involve using honey instead of sugar, which incidentally costs FIFTEEN QUID for a standard bottle you'd get in Tesco for £2.50.

acatcalledjohn · 18/03/2021 11:33

Is honey better than sugar?

Is it better than sugar? Honey has a lower GI value than sugar, meaning that it does not raise blood sugar levels as quickly. Honey is sweeter than sugar, so you may need less of it, but it does have slightly more calories per teaspoon so it's wise to keep a close eye on your portion sizes.

HTH, Yawn.

You are so mean. It doesn’t help her algorithms if you don’t reply on her post!

TwirlyGirlMum · 18/03/2021 16:19

it's a bit shady that the registered ltd company owner on March 3rd states "British" when she's actually American living in America! She and her partner are ex valentus power couple besties with fallen blue diamond Salon bot. Reeeeeks!

Sforsh49 · 18/03/2021 16:24

Yawns doing another Clean 9. She does one every quarter cos it's not a diet or a quick fix, it helps boost your immune system by getting rid of nasties and the side effect is weight loss. What a load of.......

Spongebobette · 18/03/2021 17:37

Waiting for her minions to announce they are doing one in 3.. 2...1...

(Way to get your downline spending the money Yawn!!)

@Bluewavescrashing

So I see Castle has had her baby. Really pleased for her as I know she's had several miscarriages. I hope she'll actually take a break from playing business to enjoy early motherhood rather than spending hours a day doing pointless mlm shite.
Her baby is absolutely gorgeous. Dangerous if you're broody. 😂

I think her MLM work is keeping on. She advertised a podcast already. He's not a week old yet.

Spongebobette · 18/03/2021 20:38

Yes he’s now part of her online marketing
It’s dreadful in my opinion, a tiny baby being exploited like that

Malin52 · 19/03/2021 02:16

Yawns low carb efforts include honey and fruit. Two of the things you avoid on a low carb diet...

northdownsouth7 · 19/03/2021 06:29

Ooh! Here’s one I’d not heard of - Business Bombshells. My local JP person has moved there. Looks like another MLM, they don’t learn do they?

CompleteBarstool · 19/03/2021 08:10

I think Castle seems to believe that she's an Influencer. Just the way she's started posting on her InstaStories listing where she's bought things implying that people want to copy her style, dress their baby the same, decorate their house the same .

Shes still 100% working despite having just given birth.

terrywynne · 19/03/2021 10:19

I mean the top bots are Influencers within the circles of their MLM and are treated as such because of selling the lifestyle dream. Castle does seem to have dropped any reference to FL these days.

I find it interesting that the lifestyle being promoted by top bots is increasingly bargain buys and caravan holidays (presumably as the money dries up). Nothing wrong with that- plenty of Influencers for budget living- but the MLM bots promote budget tips whilst also selling a business because it will give you financial freedom Hmm

terrywynne · 19/03/2021 10:21

I also learnt from Ubers posts that the second in command at the DSA is the FL Britain and Ireland country manager...

fromdownwest · 19/03/2021 10:29

Her youtube videos are one long advertorial.
The one with the DSA was incredibly disingenous, the link betwweem FL and DSA was not apparent in her video.
Like Castle, they influence within the MLM community. However, outside of it, they are nothing in reality.
However, they have been in their echo chamber, constantly being told how amazing they are. They think this translates to a wider audience.

Howver, there are far more engaging people doing what they do, but better.

FranceTeam · 19/03/2021 12:28

Being an influencer is actually quite hard, you need to be engaging but also have some sort of authenticity.

Unfortunately there is a lot of dangerous, worse than MLM, scams appearing on Instagram at the moment. An account added me earlier today advising if I sent them £500, they would send me back £5000 in 25 minutes. The sad reality is that some vulnerable people will fall for these types of scams.

The popularity of Bitcoin is also worrying. The bikiniprenuer is selling a Bitcoin product which will double your money in 6 months. Again unlikely and very risky.

fromdownwest · 19/03/2021 12:43

Think they have missed the boat on being influencers to be honest!

Bitcoin itself is not the issue, these people are peddaling alt Crytpo currencies that are in essence worthless.

I hold Bitcoin, Etherium and some other smaller crypto currencies as part of my over all financial portfolio.

Same as FL have hijacked health and wellbeing, these MLM's have hijacked the Crypto market.

I am not sure where the likes of Ex FL bot sit on advising on Financial Transactions. Is she still involved in that?

Spongebobette · 19/03/2021 21:39

Is ‘travel counsellors’ an MLM?

Garliccoriander · 19/03/2021 21:40

Yawns insta story about someone selling stuff on fb to get £200 for bizniz in a box sells something and makes £29 profit . I am no accountant/economist but WTF are these people smoking.

SSDGM · 19/03/2021 22:42

@Spongebobette

Is ‘travel counsellors’ an MLM?
No, but having attended one of their conferences they are very close to being a cult.
Spongebobette · 19/03/2021 22:45

Ok thanks. A friend has just become one

funkylittleboatrace · 20/03/2021 11:04

Is nurse seriously suggesting people sell their unwanted crap on the Facebook selling page so they have enough cash for a business box? Pretty sure you will probably make more selling on selling pages then with forever.

That's directly copied from yawn I think

The irony of yawn selling supplements to 'boost immune system' with a badly covered up cold sore
No shade, I get them, but I don't pretend I have the magic super expensive potions to ward off all ailments

Jasmin82 · 21/03/2021 04:15

One of my friends has joined FL. It's strange that, even though I know giving them the truth and warning them not to do what I did with Younique is going to fall on deaf ears, I still did that. They say they've only joined to get the discount on the products and "don't have time to be doing anything else." Hmm
I will be fair and say I haven't seen any of the crap on their posts, yet. Nor have I been subjected yet to the inevitable "hey hun!" message. I think they know that I would likely cut them off if that happened.

Bluewavescrashing · 21/03/2021 07:15

One of the children in my class brought in FL propolis cream to use after handwashing. I recoiled in horror 😁
