The paid recommendations are OBNOXIOUS. She constantly recommends a lady that does hair (she seems like a nice person but not skilled) the hair looks like a hot ass mess. Limp, tired, flat. The worst pictures. Terrible styling. I'm looking at all these pics thinking ...what am I missing? Why is this being recommended?

I went to one of the events, I paid $100. Before I paid I went on the IG and looked at the same event from a previous month. They had sushi and refreshments served. I based my choice to attend on the fact that there would be nice food and drinks so at least that explained some of the price point.

When I got there she explained to the group that the Uber eats driver had stolen the food order. We went on with the event with no food. She said that there was bottled water "somewhere" which belonged to the business owner that we could have. Never pointed out where or offered it to anyone. Towards the end of the event cold pizza was produced. She did not offer to partially reimburse anyone or give a future credit to another event. Nothing. This is not what was described when selling the event. I was so hungry and thirsty by the time I left, to have spent $100 on some half-assed event. I understand that shit happens, but it was so incredibly unprofessional for this to be her business.

It wasn't until I was in the group for a couple months that I even realized every single event is ticketed. If she really cared about mom's and her community, she would say hey- we were all meeting up here for a happy hour, or we are all meeting up here for coffee and let everyone enjoy. But she makes it a ticketed event so that she gets a slice.

Just wanted to share my experience in case someone is naive and thinking they're going to make a bunch of friends or have an organic friendly experience. It's a business and not a good one.

There was probably never an uber order or she would have had it replaced.

+1 What the heck??

I’m in the group and have attended some events. There are prob 3-6 events a month…many are actually tied to a charity. I’ve only been to 2 events I think, but from my perspective it’s more of a pop culture, let’s get-together and have fun without our kids, and talk openly about motherhood group than a moms group that’s all open recommendations with little moderation.

The business recommendations are the same as a lot of other groups. She charges for advertising and promotes people who pay her to advertise. People don’t like it in other groups either but it’s the way the internet works. Thousands of people make a living doing this.

She’s harmless. I don’t like everything she posts but some stuff I do. She runs a fun group and the people I’ve met at events including her are all nice and welcoming. I’m really not sure why there is so much anger towards her….sure she posts some cringe content but so does every other influencer out there.

The difference is she presents paid advertisements as a 'Sixx Cool Moms Approved Business' personal recommendation without disclosing that it is a paid advertisement. The one time I saw someone ask if they just need to pay the advertising fee to become an approved business, she deleted the comment.
