It actually covers the Passer-by Gift Guide “But wait! An unexpected email where she communicates her gratitude for your efficiency. Ping. When immediately afterwards, you are again feeling punished for your inability to convince small independent brands to contribute $3500 to be featured in the magazine’s holiday guide, and she expresses her disappointment—“our last partnerships lead was able to do it”—you set and reiterate your boundaries: that this is a $300/month position, that you work a full-time job, that you have been accruing freebies for her in the meanwhile.”
It is quite comical to think about how most people would react to these “beauty” gifts. They’re rude gifts! 🤣
One year for Christmas our mother sent my sister and I some very expensive neck cream (among other things). 😳😂
“A plumping serum for the brain” ❤️

Reminds me of the former colleague whose family gave their mother/wife the gift of Botox for her 50th birthday "not that she needs it" 🙄
Ooof
Since it's not for moms, does the hair serum work on sons?
Appreciate critical thinking about the beauty industry in Passerby, I used to like it, then I read this account about how they treat workers and found it really lacking as a project/ business https://open.substack.com/pub/orzobimbo/p/an-it-girl-scorned?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
I hadn't seen this, thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for mentioning this. I just subscribed to her content.
I just finished Pixel Flesh by Ellen Atlanta and I’ll be gifting that to a couple of friends who are in deep in the pockets of big skincare
