the Envy List #44: Nobody Likes A Fake

Influencers everywhere, it's time for real talk.

Hello, friend. Liz, here.

Nobody likes a fake. Especially when that fake has 100K followers and a slammin’ beach bod. Can we all—influencers included—be real about the fact that 2020 looks different (and worse) than we expected? That nothing has gone to plan? That holidays are celebrated better with a crowd? That we’re all holding our breath ‘til the ball drops at the end of the month?

In that vein, the readings for this week are a satirical/serious/real-world/thoughtful takes on the stories of our lives. Because honest beats cool any day of the week.

Warmly, Liz Charlotte Grant
