The recipe for my creepy cocktail which I’ve hidden in the description instead of helpfully including it in the video:
2 cups peach puree
1 quart apple juice
2 handfuls grapes
12 plastic spiders
1 oversized chunk of dry ice, causing the bowl to overflow
4 scoops peach GFUEL use code HORSEGIRL gfuel.ly/2Gb3HS6
The recipe was a ploy to get you to click my gfuel link so I can have my own flavor
LAUREN: When the Queen returns from her crafts, I'll tell her the truth. You must be gone by then - you _and_ your friends, I will _not_ have their glue on my hands. Go as far away as you can, with as many men as you can. Because wherever you go, Thea's wrath will follow you.
NICOLE: And what of _my_ wrath, Lauren? You should have taken the series for yourself. Alyissa told me about the day Party 101 fell: she was holding the Iron Fitting and you made her give it up. All you needed to do was pick it up yourself. Such a sad mistake.
LAUREN: I've made many mistakes in my life, but that wasn't one of them.
NICOLE: Oh, but it _was_ . When you play the game of homes, you win or you D.I.Y. There is no middle ground.
New party idea: celebrating the assassination of your enemies. I bet Hallmark’s got a gift basket for that.
_The Laurensters send their regards_
@Repomeister I like the way you think lmao

Conspiracy theory: this is a fake show for characters in hallmark movies to watch in filler scenes
Welp, I will now watch all the Hallmark movies to find this
I think you're onto something
Someone let me know if this is true
Omg brilliant. This series could have been a prequel to a hallmark movie TBH. Nicole makes like one video a week for a craft video channel but still lives in a really nice house and has her own office. Until. Thia. She's just an intern. Nicole is showing her the ropes, warning her to stay away from alcoholic Lauren. One day, Nicole is late so Thia offers to do a test shoot for one of her videos...
This makes way too much sense to not be true. With how bad those videos are I would not be surprised at all if they were just supposed to be used as B-roll footage.
The disappointment in Jenny's voice when she said "It's not even in a cauldron, Lauren" was palpable
I need that line on a t-shirt.
@@Yngvolkayno We all do, Kasey

But for real, this video made my night and I’m so glad someone sent it to me. Thanks for dissecting our silly little videos!

Ok but seriously: "Screw top, my favorite. 🙄", "Smells better than tequila. 😒", "Lauren just likes tequila because it's *low* *carb.* 🙃"
WHAT VENDETTA DOES NICOLE HAVE AGAINST THIS WOMAN??
Desperate housewife plots come to mind.
Yeah, I lost it at "Screw top, my favorite." DAMN.

I hope Nicole somehow knows that every time I open a bottle of red blend at my bartending job, I hear her slightly condescending yet still work-professional "screw top, my favorite" inside my mind
I had to open one the other day and the ghost of Nicole's memory definitely haunted me 😂
Every. Single. Time.
Every time I grab a cheap bottle from the liquor store I cannot stop myself from whispering “screw top. My favorite”
you sort of cant hear it

The Spider in the background radiates a very powerful energy that makes me feel things that I can’t describe

Thank you for speaking this truth
Fear
That’s probably the same energy that made the place Jenny got it from take it away from their business lol
Nicole: How does this smell?
Lauren: Not bad. Because it's c l e a n
this is so clearly Lauren trying to take a jab at Nicole for something that happened as part of their barely-offscreen feud, i'm dying
I got the exact same vibes from those remarks XD
SMELLS BETTER THAN DIRTY STINKY OL TEQUILA, LAUREN
I CAN BARELY STAND THE ROTTEN LOW-CARB STENCH OF TEQUILA. WHEN THE BAD SMELLS OF TEQUILA CAUSE ME TO BARF, IT'S LIKE AUTOMATIC PORTION CONTROL BECAUSE IT'S SOOOO STINKY.
OMG IT IS!
These videos gets better every time you watch them! I also love when Nicole says it smells better than tequila and Lauren goes "woooow"
See, I interpret that comment from Lauren as being like "Are you really trying to say I just brought in smelly old tequila bottles without even cleaning them?! Really?!"
.... don't drink tequila , then?
I feel like Jenny is dressed like she’s about to tell me she senses a presence in my house, perhaps by describing a heavy feeling in her chest
maybe get a Radon detector?
I understood that reference ^_^
Many doors will be installed incorrectly on this night
*walks by a shrine with candles and a photograph of a young woman*
I feel...a heavy presence. Has...has somebody died?
There's a minimum of three guests from Hallmark's youtube channel that she can feel.
LMAO at this! I worked at Hallmark when they started making these videos. As per everything at Hallmark, I think the project began with the best of intentions and devolved into a morass of rapidly shifting strategic directions that rendered the entire content strategy DOA.
Fun fact: At the time this video was shot, Nicole was either No. 2 or No. 3 Creative Director in all of Hallmarkland. Hence the awkward power dynamic with the other folks in the video who are obviously super nervous about saying the wrong thing.
That REALLY helps shed some light on the general dynamic here. AND makes more sense for the Lauren/Nicole dynamic - Lauren DOESN'T seem nervous about being around her. And I don't think Nicole likes that...
@@ruthsagers1714 Honestly I think that kinda makes Lauren look like a badass.
I want to hear more about the crazy stuff going on behind the scenes at Hallmark!
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 Either Lauren has complete confidence in the security of her job, or she just doesn't care about it lol.
@@ruthsagers1714 It could also explain Nicole’s snide comments about clean crockery and utensils cos perhaps the staff hadn’t done a decent cleaning job
After watching this for the dozenth time or so, I think _my_ favorite detail is when Lauren stops herself from saying that putting Christmas lights in the wine bottle is "even more simple" and instead says "just as simple" because she obviously realizes nothing could be simpler than filling a bottle with water.
Oh that, and the _Banjo-Kazooie_ merch referred to in a previous video has finally surfaced.
Oh, but it depends! Have you ever tried to fill the bottle under a tap with a very small sink? Making the angle at wich one must hold the bottle too great to actually fill it up?
11:04 😊
Nicole: So what goes in this creepy cocktail?
Lauren: Well, it’s so simple, you just use literally whatever cocktail you want and then just add arsenic to make it especially creepy... here you try it first...

god I hope this is true, because it answers the final question we’ve been piecing together from all the hallmark staff showing up in the comment for years. this is why Lauren is fearless in front of Nicole. it all makes sense.

Jennys genuine utter confusion where she exclaims : “you *learned* how to put water in a bottle from a trip to Italy” was so funny its making me cry
Plot twist: this video was calculated on Jenny's part to put her on Hallmark's radar so they'd become interested in hiring her as a content developer, putting her in a prime position to create a warring "The Christmas Prince" universe, a la DC vs Marvel
This sounds surprisingly plausible.

This sketch just gets me every time I watch it.
For some reason it's my favorite part of the entire video.
As someone who... totally DOESN'T work at a Hallmark store, I thought this video was incredible. All of the Hallmark product popping up in the videos is sending me. I had a lady today who was incredibly disappointed that I didn't have a Halloween card addressed to a cat. I also once had a man ask me where to find a valentine's card for his wife who was having an affair and he wanted a card to tell her he knew about her affair, ON VALENTINE'S DAY. He then tried to record a message to her in a recordable card, without paying for the card, at the cash register and when I told him he needed to pay for it first he told me to shut up. He, however, had such a thick drawl that he couldn't get out more than a sentence before the card cut him off. His message will forever stick with me. It was "Dear Wife, Be Mine, and No One Else's. Love, [His Name]". He finally did pay for the card (after ruining another card in the process).
Wow, that was a rollercoaster of a comment. Imagine what would happen if you ACTUALLY worked at a Hallmark store. Hypothetically, of course.
@@Crick1952 Don’t ruin this for me, it made me cackle.
THIS should be a #notsohallmark commercial! 😂 xx, Lauren from the video. @lauren_lane_culinarian
Not Hallmark-related, but I once saw a newspaper ad that wanted me to believe my S.O. would be enchanted if I presented her with a gift-certificate for laser hair-and-mole removal for Valentines Day. Can you imagine anything so romantic? "Love ya hun...now, ain't it about time you got that crap taken care of once and for all?"
@@Crick1952 Oh well, if we're talking hypothetically, could you imagine my expression if say, a man came in needing an apology card, proceeding to infodump that he needed a card for his (then pregnant) girlfriend who he first cheated on, then when she caught him he proceeded to claim her baby wasn't his, THEN she lost the baby and he found out the baby WAS his, so he needed a card to get her to take him back. Then, imagine trying to formulate a response to that and try to find an apology card and for him to then get upset that it was over 2 dollars?? could you imagine?? if that was a possibility?? Good thing it's not! :)
Jenny being one of two people to like the comment “it’s spilling” has me DYING for some reason.
Ok but hear me out, Nicole seemed a bit irked when she was told she couldn't do the tequila bottle craft with wine bottles. So what if she pressured Lauren into coming up with the wine bottle crafts and *that's* why they're more low effort than usual! Like even moreso than her other DIYs.
What if their rivalry stems from the fact that Lauren likes tequila more than wine and Nicole, who obviously fancies herself a wine mom, can't handle that seemingly personal attack?
I don't know, but there's definitely some sort of tension there.
How could we miss the origin of their blood rivalry! It was in front of us the whole time.

“Millennial friends who are getting dogs earlier” did I hear that right?
As opposed to the “traditional” time when you would adopt dog? You know, once you are stable and in your thirties?
Yeah, it just sounds like settling down or having kids lmao!
I mean to be fair when you get your childhood dog/cat/first pet (the traditional entry to childhood) It teaches you responsibility, but the financial burden generally falls on your parents/guardians aaaannn... I have no idea where I was going with this, I love dogs/cats/first pets (yours included). Have a good life stranger XD
Well, I think maybe?
I can imagine that in a traditional mindset, you first have a kid, and then a dog as a pet for the kid.
In a "Gen X" mindset, a couple gets a dog first, so it's treated as a big deal.
sounds like an Onion article
stable in their thirties? hm.

Omg I never realized that. What brilliance
This video is better written than most movies nowadays
I looked up Nicole on LinkedIn and she was actually the VP of Hallmark's "Creative Studios" at this time. It says that "In this role, Nicole is responsible for directing the strategies, priorities and operations of the creative talent & resources team, trends studio, visual studio, photography/video studio, social content team, international creative and the digital asset management team."
So basically Nicole is responsible for her own demise
That's what Thea WANTS you to think!
Then why did the videos not improve after she left?
That's a lot of studios!
As someone who used to work a similar job for a much, much smaller company, I can tell you from experience it's not always easy to achieve a good end result in a position like that.
Your projects are often seen as frivolous and unimportant next to actual product sales, 'real' advertising, etc. If your higher-ups don't 'get' social media, they often think you can just throw something together and it'll be fine, so you get few resources and even less guidance about goals or the company's vision for this branch of operations.
I'm not saying Hallmark's corporate culture was necessarily like that, but I can *totally* see Hallmark's corporate culture being like that. This is partly why independent creators thrive on UA-cam while many brands struggle.
This is even better. Nicole feels like she did the heavy lifting of getting the show going and that she'd built it to a sustainable, stable place where it was safe to hand it off to a successor.
And then it died.
I love how Lauren starts to say “this craft is even simpler” before realizing that the first one is literally just putting water in a bottle and she corrects herself
Jenny, I'm putting you on my gratitude centerpiece this year.

this morning I literally said “it’s been too long since the last video from Jenny and Halloween is too close for that to make any sense” so thank god you saved the day in the nick of time
That’s the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard
Last night I was thinking about how she hadn’t uploaded in a while and then there she was
Santa claus told Jenny she had to save Halloween! She sucseeded so soon, the plot was anticlimactic
I wanted to decorate my fridge, so I went on a major online retail sight and I found these things called kitchen magnets, I put them on the fridge door, who knew?? Wow such an easy project! You're welcome!!!
I feel like Lauren's little trip to Italy was probably with Nicole's ex-husband.
Apparently that trip “was amazing!” She looked right at Nicole when she said that
Eye- the spice with these women is real
She's my fave
Lmao
Awesome!!!
"Oh, screw top, my favorite." NICOLE
"Smells better than tequila." NICOLE NO
"She just likes tequila because it's low-carb." NICOLE YOU CAN'T
"It's like automatic portion control." NICOOOOLE
I have such a deep desire to know what happened between these women. Also to know where they are now cuz I am convinced Lauren just murdered Nicole.
@@ianturner1704 could you blame her
@@ianturner1704 From what I saw Lauren is just chilling in the comments with Thea, and no Nichole to be seen
@@skumpkin5191 Nichole's also here

JENNY! It's NICOLE - from the video - and I'M CRYING LAUGHING! I love your videos (and your fabulous necklace) - keep them coming!
She's here, everyone related to this weird Hallmark channel seems to have turned up and really enjoyed Jenny's video!
“Lauren just likes Tequila because it’s low carb.”
WHERE?? WHERE’S THE TEAAA, THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTINGGGG
For real???? Like thats so unnecessary why is she like this????
I watched a cocktail competition show on Netflix, and one of the contestants used dry ice in their cocktail. One judge literally REFUSED to drink it bc the dry ice could get stuck to your throat, and you could DIE about it. I guess that just makes it extra spooky?
If your house doesn’t come with a ghost, homemade is fine
"Lauren only like tequila because it's low carb"
*HOLY SHIT*
Lmao right?? Besides vodka has the least amount of carbs, so if she really cared about that, she'd drink vodka. Not that I'd know...or anything...
@@dancincoolkid 👁👁
@@dancincoolkid I mean you made me feel better about my vodka preferences
I’m surprised that was left in the video.
This shit is going to be featured on a murder investigation in a year
I'm genuinely elated by the fact that Lauren, Thea, and Nicole have all commented kindhearted things on this video. The Hallmark Party 101 videos may be a source of humor for me, but it's good to know the people in those videos have positive feelings towards a video showcasing the silliness of Party 101.
Edit over a year later: I forgot to mention Alyissa!
Alyssa commented too!! I think it got a little buried though haha. all the ladies are here!
@@brynnp1165 I didn't even see that! That's exciting news!
Need to keep scrolling until I get to Duplicitous Alyssa!
@@sharkofjoy "The Duplicitous Alyssa" is such a hard nickname omg
you're a silly goose if you think those accounts with no videos, pictures, or information are actually them and not role playing trolls.
Being an italian myself, I can testify that we do actually put water into bottles.
Such swank!
How do you do it? I'll need a tutorial to learn
Stranger, stranger... that's a water bottle!
Aaaaahhhh! I will buy it at a high price!
Hehehehe... Thank you.
Is that all, stranger?!
Come back any time...
Thank you, I've always had trouble with putting water in my fridge with my hands. And I tried putting dirt in my old bottles but I could never drink that.
@@ProtomanButCallMeBlues did you put in the fridge first so that it is nice and chilled?
I actually got caught hella off guard when she said "i tend to have a LOT of empty tequila bottles around my house" while I was mid-drink of water and laughed it all over my shirt. That got me good. This is.... some of the best unintentional comedy I've seen in awhile. Reminds me of something Amy Poehler and Tiny Fey would've done as a skit on snl together back in the day. Except it's real....
Jenny has the best good-bad taste in anything ever
Woah my favorite UA-camr commenting on my other favorite UA-camr’s channel! :D an epic crossover
"Hey guys, its echo." Omg you need a statement necklace
ECHO ON DA JENNY VID COMMENTS???
I can't tell if you're saying something dirty or not.
Didn't expect to see you here ngl
Lauren definitely went to Italy with Nicole's husband
Lol, and they used her credit card.
Totes
Only at Thea’s suggestion. She needed Lauren out of the way.
Dead after this comment
SMH, it's cutthroat at the Hallmark Channel
This is unrelated but someone should give Jenny an Oscar for her voice work as Addison Cain in Lindsey ellis’s videos
This Academy Award is hereby awarded to Jenny Nicholson with ~*extreme prejudice*~
THAT'S who was voicing her! I recognized the voice but couldn't put my finger on exactly who.
Jenny is already horse famous, but now she's rapidly becoming wolf famous too
LINDSAY ELLIS IS A MANACE, AND A THREAT GO MY CHILD
Well of course! She did voice almost all the characters in the Friendship is Witchcraft serries.
Jenny 3 years later and this still slaps. So funny.
I literally come back to watch this at least once every 10 months
Right?!?!
I thought i was the only one!!!
Frr Jenny's videos are so insanely rewatchable lol
I watch all of her videos multiple times lmao
Eventually she'll be buried by giant plush creatures and her videos will become a Waldo style challenge of finding her head amongst the chaos.
this is beautiful
And what a glorious site it will be! 😮
“Lauren just likes tequila because it’s low carb”
She got paid to say this to her co-worker!
She said it so coldly too, like it didn't even sound like an attempt at a jest
Isn't ethanol a carbohydrate?
@@economicist2011 No.
@@kaichen04 Thanks.
Kids at home: Alcohols are a separate class of organic compounds from carbohydrates, but do become carbohydrates as part of the metabolism process.
@@economicist2011 Nope. It's an alcohol.
It's terrifying to me that both those women drank the dry ice drinks. No questioning the outcome. No looking it up first. Just fully diving straight into danger on-screen and recommending the audience presumably do the same.
"I would've used a straw for the first drink. Cuz u could seriously burn your lips off turning it up lile that with dry ice in it lol not safe!
"
~Amber, UA-cam commenter
In all seriousness, last year I found an online recipe that called for *rubbing alcohol*. You know, highly poisonous and it should not be consumed! the recipe advertised itself as something fun you can do with your kids and so I had a LOT of questions about who published that recipe. Thankfully the recipe was taken offline at some point this year, but it's been saved on webarchive so I can still show people
C D N P O L I W A V E ......where??
i was okay w/ the dry ice in the bowl...but dry ice in the drinking glass is a terrible idea
@@cdnpoliwave9293 Highly poisonous is a bit of an overstatement, you're probably thinking of methanol, but yeah it should not be deliberately ingested for sure
My spouse knows you exclusively by this video. He requests "that cocktail video" on the regular.
😂😂😂😂
For a few months I would watch this video every night to go to sleep. At one point I knew every word of this video
It will be a sad day when "Old media trying to slide into social media poorly" is no longer a thing.
It will never happen. The problem here is that big corporations will never understand what actually drives common people. And when they try to mimic your organic creativity and humor for profit it comes out looking like a zombie wearing coachella. No one likes ads no matter how modern they are - they're just cringe.
@@auxin903 look at things like Bon Apetit tho, old media is clearly figuring the shit (aside from not being racist ofc)
Omg I feel so seen-- I used to work for them and this is literally what everyone at headquarters is like, it's insane 😂😭🤪
S P I L L
Spill the tee sis
@Lexi : mind elaborating?
commenting so that I can get a notification on the next reply
Hoping for an update
Jenny: “...hiding in plain sight, aided by the duplicitous Alyssa.”
The Duplicitous Alyssa: 👁👄👁
This is the quality phrasing I come to this channel for :|
“Look at them, celebrating their treason.”
14:00 for anyone skimming
"A toast to Queen Thea! Long may she reign!!"
not only can dry ice seriously burn your lips, but if you're unlucky enough to accidentally ingest it, it can seriously burn your esophagus and stomach. terrible idea to mess around with it at all
Yeah I was totally confused about that one. Did they not know how dangerous that stuff is..?
Halloween is all about risk and destruction! ... Sometimes your own
I would buy an "It's not even in a cauldron, Lauren" T-shirt
OMIGOD YES!
😮😮😮 ME TOO
God so would i
Someone text me if it gets made ok
Oh my god! YES!
Nicole's feelings towards Lauren are best understood by imagining an upper-middle class, WASP mom feel who calls another mom her same age "trashy" for wearing a bikini to the pool, even though they live in the same gated community in houses that are exact mirrors of one another and cost exactly the same.
😂😂😂
This comment is so wonderfully accurate haha
Huge Gayle and Bonnie energy
I'm ashamed to admit, idk what a WASP mom is. I'm only familiar with the band and they had like 1000 acronyms attributed to their name.
@@zmbdog white anglo-saxon protestant: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Anglo-Saxon_Protestants
I love Jenny's ability to get me invested in literally ANYTHING
So true
I'm here because I'm making a game about space ship repair and I couldn't remember if I should call a part fittings or couplings. But I remembered that you taught me that in this video, so I knew if I rewatched it I would find the answer. Thanks.
How's the game coming?
@@tailsfox45 haha. on hiatus while i work on other games. Learning Godot though, it's really fun. starting to get the hang of it
The phrase "it doesn't have to be anything" is the most unintentionally hilarious line I think I've ever heard.
That phrase lives in my head rent free
I love that Lauren's entire goal seems to be taking these already laughably easy crafts and making them sound even easier by reassuring the audience that nothing even "has to be anything." Use any cocktail, it's fine! Adorn your wine bottle with whatever scrap of material is closest to hand! You don't even have to tie it, just wrap it around or whatever, nothing matters and existence is meaningless!
lol
@@friday13thirteen I'm dead af! 😂😂😂
"do this craft like this, or don't do it idc"
JENNY! It's NICOLE - from the video - and I'M CRYING LAUGHING! 😂 I love your videos (and your fabulous necklace) - keep them coming!
THE QUEEN HERSELF ILY
Seriously love that you, Lauren, Thea and Alyssa have commented here, and with such good grace. Way to keep it classy, ladies!
What are you doing here? Thea is HERE! You’re in grave danger!! RUN!!!!!
SHE'S HERE!?
QUICK! EVERYBODY SCATTER!!!
@@kirbycathy 😘👑🗡
Hallmark needs to make a movie where Lauren and Nicole find the meaning of Christmas. It probably involves a decades-old grudge over the one attractive single man in the quaint small town, and ever since they've been bitter BFFs. Their relationship is like a Death Becomes Her, but sanitized and watered down because this is a Hallmark movie.
Woah! I'm giving you a 10 for creative on this one! xx, Lauren from the vid
make it gay !
@hallmarkchannel - call us. We’re in. 🤣 ❤️Nicole from the video
omfg, ok nicole just replied to you! (and YES it's actually her)
@@noperez i'm going with the attractive 'single' man turns out to be gay... while the frenemies come to learn the true meaning of christmas is the failed cocktails they attempted along the way (after the steel cage death match of course).
Some of the best advice I’ve ever heard “drink rosé and don’t become angry” 😂
I love that you upvoted the "it's spilling" comment.
"I learned that you can reuse glass bottles during a trip to Italy" might be the most privileged thing I've ever heard
Wait until she learns about mason jars!
thats 'upcycling' summarised tbh... my favourite hobby is listening to uninventive members of the middle and upper class talk about that week's fun new pinterest trend that they Still call poor people trashy for.
Ahahahaaaa.
Kid: Mom, I want to go to Italy.
Mom: We have Italy at home.
Italy at home:
@@elisac9635 Is the tap water no good?
Lauren and Thea thriving while Nicole plots their eventual homicides-by-poisoning
"Hope you like my low-carb rat poison I slipped into your Tequila, Lauren"
If she’s the type to poison drinks that would explain why she smells all of Lauren’s drinks before *very* hesitantly drinking them
I love your content! 😭
Any cocktail will do......!
Hey why don’t you make a well-edited, well-written 40 minute video about the fall of Party 101?
A rather late addition but I have an answer for why the “I like wine bottles-“ “NO NICOLE NOT WINE BOTTLES” moment happened!!
so thousands of people have posted a version of this diy, because humans have been putting oil in bottles and lighting it on fire for thousands of years, and several diys I’ve seen have said to avoid wine bottles because they’re tall. Taller bottles are harder to see over, so they’re not suited for putting on a table, but they’re also narrow around the base, so they’re easier to knock over. Most diys recommend a sturdy-based and squat glass bottle, like one for whiskey (or tequila), for the project.
Thank you, this makes sense!
she should probably have explained that in the tutorial video then xD
Maybe she did & they edited it out
But you do use wine bottles for petrol bombs yes?
@@juliamavroidi8601Especially since she specifically said you could use Scotch bottles, which are usually tall and narrow.
I hate that there's a part of me that will 100 percent be making these crafts in 10 years. lol.
Why yes. Yes you will...
And so will I.
A lot can happen in ten years.
All women secretly desire domestic responsibilities.
Pick me! Pick meeeee!
@@tseawell90 No but pop off I guess
This feels like one of those fake shows that would be on in a sitcom.
Or like one of those Onion series that starts off "normal" and then escalates into chaos lol. The Onion actually has a cooking series that's hilarious. Check it out
@@msjkramey ua-cam.com/video/MWTy9fE48og/v-deo.html
🎶Too many cooks...🎶
@@alipie02 oh no... not that. I was in college, throwing a party when that came out. We weren't exactly sober and it came on and we all just stopped talking and stared at it in confusion for the full 10 minutes. After it was over, we had a collective "wtf" moment lol
I also recommend "Sex House" by the Onion. It's insane
According to Linkedin Thea won a Forbes 30 under 30 award and is working as a Talent Market Manager (not at Hallmark), Nicole's a VP at Hallmark, and Lauren owns her company. So I'd say they're all doing pretty well. At the end of they day these were women working for a large corporation, doing what a large corporation told them do them. They all seem to have found immense success in their careers, so kudos to them!
Found Lauren's alt account
@@JacobArvizu LMAO CHILE
Success is doing what a large corporation tells you to do.
Seeing that she won a Forbes 30 under 30 really reveals that any schlub can and that award really doesn’t mean anything
@@Minam0 uh.. what do you know about her apart from what you listened to Jenny say? Do you think she only sits around all day gluing pom poms on banners and nothing else could be going on with her career?
I can't get over how well Alyssa's look at 14:02 matches with Jenny calling her "duplicitous"... that's some god-tier editing work right there...
