She uses affiliate links- so she links to a pair of boots, for example, and then you buy that pair of boots after clicking on the link, and she gets a kickback/commission from the sale.

I assume that's how she makes most of her money. She never discloses "sponsorship", which is generally required when brands are paying you (either in goods or with $$). Plus, most of her stuff is Lilly, Coach, Tory Burch, etc...those brands generally would not be paying a 39 year old customer service rep from rural Illinois to be promoting their stuff.

I thought she was older!

I want to run a comb through that hair

She posted a bit earlier this year that her husband turned 40, and I see that she also posted a bit about infertility/struggling to get pregnant. So I’m going to guess late 30s.

Yes born in '81 and turning 38 this year

1 in 10 at my sons private look and dress like her.

She lives in Illinois.

Kind of how I feel. I get that she is on Insta so people think she has made herself a target, but I don't understand the nasty remarks about her teeth and hair and whatever. She seems pretty harmless and just because you can be mean doesn't mean you should be.

Maybe it's fashionable to be nasty, but it is not beautiful.

Excess materalism and consumption isn't either. It's so bad for the environment.

She has posted a ton of racist and bigoted stuff on social media. And she's a huge Trump supporter.

Good lord! I’m not sure what’s worse, this crunchy-curls nobody from flyover country or the fact that she has a 600 PAGE THREAD!!! on GOMI! She can’t possibly be that snark-worthy or interesting?! I didn’t even see a link to a blog on her Insta! What gives??

For someone who has 60k followers her pics sure don't have a lot of likes. Which leads me to believe her followers are bought. Or bot.

Yes to the above--I was going to mention that she has a LOT of hate followers.

She most definitely isn’t cute. However, read the reddit thread someone posted about her. She’s a racist and bigot.
