    HELLO FRIENDS!! Today, I return to the land of internet hauls and social media targeted recommendations - with a deep dive into the sponsored posts that appear on your TikTok "For You Page"! Previously, I have bought things recommended to me via targeted ads on Facebook, Instagram, UA-cam, and Snapchat - so when I finally relented and downloaded TikTok a few months ago -- I figured, we probably had to do a TikTok ad haul as well. So I spent a day scrolling on TikTok until I found 5 different targeted ads, purchased what they were advertising, and then put them to the test to try and figure out why TikTok might think I would like them, and whether or not they were any good. Which item was your favorite?? What ads do you get on TikTok?
    Thanks to Kayley Melissa for helping me curl my hair!

    Well, to be fair to the hair curler, it's not so much of a knock off, rather they're all the exact same and companies can pay to put their logo on it. It's the same as those Laser Hair Removers like Lux skin, Hey Silkly Skin, and other brands. It's the same device, but companies can pay to customize it.

      Tiktok killed my startup. We were doing amazing with growing our audience and supporters and then tiktok downgraded my channel RIGHT before I launched my kickstarter to crowdfund in order to launch and now hardly anyone is seeing my videos and my kickstarter is going to fail probably. I know they did something intentional though bc they wouldn't respond to my inquiries about paid advertising spots, my comments answering our supporters are invisible to them (on my account it looks normal but I created another account and my comments can't be seen on that one or by anyone else I've asked) and I went from getting 10,000-200,000 views on my videos regularly to less than 1000 overnight basically.

      They did get the small mystery box. I'd guess that the sellers try to calibrate the value of the items to just above "I got ripped off" level, while diversifying the contents as much as possible (to up the odds that at least one thing will be something the buyer will like). Hence, no chance of a tablet in the little box, possible chance for the larger ones.

H&S is pretty reputable as far as western sellers go, you can do a good bit better if you know what you want and order from a specialist, general sellers like H&S and Adagio tend to have a markup. For about that price I got about twice as much tea ordering a sampler from Mountain Stream Teas, but they only have taiwanese teas and nothing else.

    After watching the tea one I started to think: I put turmeric in my tea, I could probably make it turn purple if I added baking soda... That probably wouldn't be a good idea though.
    (If you are wondering turmeric also reacts to bases and acids, but adding an acid just makes it turn brighter yellow, while a base turns it a soft purple. I know this because I once tried to get a turmeric stain out of clothing and the internet suggested lemon juice or baking soda, it did not work, but was a cool science experiment! RIP those shorts.)

    tea blender here! can confirm those are actual butterfly pea flowers, and are typically on the pricer side of ingredients put in tea blends. its typically supposednto be added to a tea (green or herbal usually) as how you metioned, it doesnt smell great. my work pairs it with a blueberry green tea and it turns the tea into bluegreen anime looking water. its kinda just "ooo cool color" and "ooo acidity science" with the lemon juice turning it pink.

    hot tea tip about butterfly pea tea, generally you mix in the flowers with other tea bases for better flavour.
    the flowers give a pretty colour and the other tea you use as a base provides a better flavour.
    plus adding honey always helps.

      I got some from Amazon a few years ago from a (apparently) family owned business. I think it was a similar quantity but I paid about $13CAD.
      And yes to the lemonade! The bubble tea shops and some Asian restaurants in my city that sell similar drinks will call them galaxy lemonade or tea.

    Safiya, I love your videos. Unlike other influencers, I feel like I can count on you to tell me the real truth. not just whatever you need to say to sell products. It's too hard to trust anything these days. Never stop what you're doing.

    My local cafe has butterfly pea latte. It's a blue soothing drink. Butterfly pea is also considered a sacred plant, so I come and drink it when starting something new - a new university year or anything significant. ❤️
