    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, RUclips, 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!

    Somehow, I feel the “ripped off” hair curler is the same machine as the “original” hair curler, but that company stamps their logo/get a better box to sell it at a higher price. It's a kind of common practice around, and both machines look so suspiciously similar.

I watched a channel that had vets rescuing homeless animals, and using the RUclips money made to pay for their supplies/surgeries/etc. People liked the uncensored videos, because they were interested in becoming surgeons or veterinarians - it wasn't gratuitous, it was educational, and they had plenty of warnings. They had to move most of their content to Patreon behind a paywall, because RUclips wouldn't let it be monetized anymore if it was shown.

      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 literally killed my business.

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.)

      They did get the small mystery box.

Hence, no chance of a tablet in the little box, possible chance for the larger ones.

    As someone who has been here for years, this is the first time I've heard Saf call Ty 'baby' (especially considering the circumstances that led to it😂😂) ( at 17:54) and it's the cutest thing ever!! I love you guys so much!

    "Hairy ear Saf."

    The colour change happens with red cabbage juice when mixed with acid, as well. You probably don't want to drink it, but if you just wanna play around.

    I'm not sure if it's just a South East Asian thing, but we use Butterfly Pea flowers for naturally dying rice to make desserts and rice dishes blue! You can use it to decorate and colour fabrics too 😊
    I do think that using the flower for drinks and consumption (in its actual flower form) has gained popularity in the past 2 years, cos of its pretty colour

    What’s hilarious about the butterfly pea syrup is that at my work we have a cocktail that uses that as a simple syrup to make a “Ranch Water”. It turns purple with what we add!
