I first want to say that I AM the model consumer that companies look to target. Damn I can’t pass a deal, or what appears to be a deal.
Enter Fabletics. Now, I am a LOVER of the legging and the jegging. Comfortable, somewhat stylish, lots of stretch and that tummy tuck action it got going on.
The “somewhat stylish” part gets me. They aint always cute. And they don’t always pass the “thigh rub” us fluffies got going on.
So, I was minding my business and several others’ on a leisurely Facebook scroll and I come across a deal for some Fabletics. I think “these some cute ass leggings.”
I NEED.
So I click. And I feel like I fall in love with everything I see. And they got fluffy friendly sizing?
Sold!
I have heard really good things about the quality but not much else about Fabletics.
Why ain’t nobody tell me it was a damn membership?
That’s how they get you.
Well, me.
It’s me.
I got the two pair for 20 bucks and some other items for 20 as well. But I had to sign up for the monthly membership to take advantage of the deal.
And I did.
Cause, I’m me.
The ideal target.
I the membership didn’t cost me anything when signed up. I only paid for the 20 dollars each items. Plus expedited shipping cause…
I’m me.
Smh.
I tell myself, “this is it. I ain’t getting no more and I am gonna cancel.”
Let me tell you. Those leggings and bras came in and BAAAAAYBEEEE…they felt like velvety chocolate gliding up these thick ass thighs. I looked so good. I felt good too.
Weeks go by and a million washes cause I live in them now, and I forgot to cancel.
Oops.
They charged me for a new month. 64 bucks or something.
Damn.
Really?
So, I’m like they got my monies anyway, let me go see what else they got.
I log on and I not only have points but I have VIP credits.
I didnt have enough points for discounts, but I had enough credits to get free items! And I got like three more sets (sets cause they two items counted as one, so I got to use one credit for two items) for free. Plus shipping.
I did regular this time.
Now, I really need to cancel it but I don’t know. They are the only leggings I have found so far that feel good and fit good. And I have really gone through a thousand brands.
Like I said, target consumer. They will get my money if I am not careful.
There was no point to my sharing this.
I just wanted to share it.
I’m taking another social media break to focus on my peace, clear my social channels up and get rid of the negative energy that lives there. I need to reevaluate what my time there looks like. It’s served as an extension of my work for years now. And I want to keep it that way. But there’s some elements of it that are making it hard for me to exist in spaces I cultivated for my own safety and security.
I will also be taking the time to focus on my writing. I need it. It saves me and right now I have been drowning. So, it’s time to heal. I am gonna spend more time here and my Patreon. I want to sit within the comfort of other writers. I feel like this is something I need right now.
So, if you need me, I will be here or Patreon.
