    I have no idea what happened with ER, I’m not in social media except when I watch UA-cam and I only follow a few UA-camrs that talk about makeup. That being said I don’t want to know. I’m not buying makeup this year either way. Plus, I’m against to even interact with any drama that comes to social media. People tend to exaggerate and come out with this ridiculous theory I’m not for it. Life is hard and short to make it more difficult with nonsense. I work too much to pay attention to social media! I can only binge watch you when I have days off night shift is killing me softly! 😂 Loving your makeup numbers! I can’t believe you pan 4 bronzers! That’s an incredible accomplishment! Love seeing the dogs.💕💕💕💕

      100%! I never want to be a channel that gets lost in drama. I have enough going on in my life to not get sucked into drama. With ER, I'm glad that I was able to see what was going on and make a decision for myself, but my channel will not focus on drama. I have unfollowed so many channels who have turned to drama for views.
      And you just listed the things I do want to talk about, makeup, the numbers, and the dogs! 😂

    Happy New Year, Erin! Always enjoy your inventory videos. Happy you’re adding your nail polishes into your inventory. Hubby did such a good job with the surprise C-mas gift! I would have loved receiving it!
    You did a very good job explaining the Ensley Rain situation. I agree with your thoughts. Working in health care, we don’t get to pick who we take care of. Showing respect and dignity is always the best option….even when you don’t agree with their beliefs. Anyway, enjoy your palettes. Rub the pup’s on the head for me. TFS…Lorie 😊

      I explained my feelings on the situation the best I could. I have finally seen screen shots of the posts and stand by my conclusion to not support the brand but to hold out hope that they can better themselves through listening and learning and personal growth. ❤️
      I will give the pups all the pets from you!

    I have to say your blush collection made me 😊😊😊 happy it is perfect. 💚💚 My opinion on ensley reign is, it was a bad choice to use your business page to like confrontational subjects and hate. Everyone can learn and grow as a person and as a business. I can have a difference of opinion and respect you, i however can NOT consciously buy from a brand that supports anything related to hate of people whom are different wether that be race, religion, gender, who you love. If they can move forward and show they made a mistake and have grown i may consider at that point. I however already own and purchased several palettes and i will continue using my hard earned money. I have been working on my inventory and I've got for next year.. a few months of therapy has my mind set in a great place.

    Happy New Year! I wish there was a way to give a thumbs up at various points in the video because it doesn’t feel like one thumbs up at the end of the video does your content justice. I loved the cameo from Washburn and I’m so happy you will be picking up Malcom’s cremains and bringing him home.
    I am not on top of the ER saga, but agree with your points 100%. The fact that you have some of their palettes is something you can’t do anything about now and it doesn’t send a message if you stop using what you have, you can only send a message by not continuing to buy from them…and, to your point, even that isn’t a guarantee to be a strong message. Some people are so fixed on their points of view that they’re not interested in changing. It’s like you said about both sides being willing to come to the table with something to work on. If one side doesn’t believe they have a hand in changing the status quo, the other side will just be banging their head against a wall (I feel like I’ve had this conversation in a different context so I hope I’m making sense!😅).
    Anyway, I have “done all the things” but I will sign off with several 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 to express my appreciation for your content and cheers to the new year!! I am coming up on the 3 year anniversary of my Mom’s passing (January 4th) so I might be quiet, but know I am with you in spirit. Congrats on a successful 2024 and here’s to an even better 2025!!🎉🎉❤❤❤

      I will be thinking about you tomorrow Andrea. Anniversaries of our loved one's passing are never easy. hugs for you from across the inter webs.
      I understand what you are saying about ER. I've chatted with some other people in the community and we all don't like cancel culture, and I said because I think it doesn't help with accountability of change. if someone is canceled, then they might think "well I can continue to believe/behave the way I have because I'm already canceled."
      A very thoughtful comment came in even encouraging me not to feature the palettes in any upcoming videos like NPLB or my palette ranking and I really took their thoughts and feelings to heart. Even mentioning ER in future videos until we see change, is supporting them. So I'm taking the whole step back from the brand.
      On a softer note, I am so happy to have Mal back home. I feel...still sad, but more relaxed with him home. ❤️

    I 100% agree with everything you said about ER. What they did is not acceptable but I’m also not the type of person to completely cancel a brand. I do have 2 of their palettes that I depotted into an empty magnetic palette since their shadows are magnetic. I will not be buying from the brand until they can truly show us that they have changed everything that has been going on with them.

    I love tracking inventory, especially since I’ve done it now since 2018 and can compare. In most areas I’ve majorly decreased in numbers due to focused buying and using stuff up. But in perfume…. So much more. Haha! Loved your format!

    Your inventory always makes me so happy to watch! Your hubby did fantastic with those polishes!
    I feel the same way about ER. I am not a perfect human and no one is, right? I do think that there is what I believe is right/wrong based on whatever, and there is what other people believe is right/wrong based on whatever. I cannot dictate my thoughts and opinions and perspective be theirs and vice versa. I do not have to agree, I also do not have to support further. I have 3 palettes… I will continue to use and love and cherish. I will maybe, or maybe not, buy from them again. Time will tell. Mistakes happen, 💩happens. Growth also happens. Time will tell.
    I also did not see the posts.

    • @erintaylorwrites
      @erintaylorwrites  Місяць тому

      Jen Luv did a live chat and shows screen shots if you want to see them. I watched her video yesterday.
      So I'm really into watching documentaries on the History Channel, and it has always stuck with me that our perception of "right and wrong" depends on which side of the "battle field" we sit on. Of course, many times those perceptions can be changed with education, hearing from those affected, challenging belief systems and so on, but you are right, everyone has their own spectrum of right and wrong.
      What happened falls on the side of wrong, so we step back, don't support, but leave space for them to hopefully show growth and change. And you are correct, only time will tell.
      I hope that you had a safe and lovely New Year. I got caught up on your project pan videos and I'm looking forward to your progress in 2025!

    First of all, you did freaking fantastic!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 So inspiring!! Knowing that the products that you are bringing in are products that you will finish in a year. I am happy with my pans this year and am SO happy with my purchases up until Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving through Christmas was a doozy. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Also, I am happy that I have been able to declutter things that I received in boxes that I didn't choose for myself and had been hanging on to for whatever reason. I'm getting closer to having only products that I know and love.
