Proof That The Truth Does Hurt!

I guess the only way to deal with someone exposing your wrong doing is first try to discredit them.  Guess that didn't work.  Next is to try to silence them.  Do the right thing.  That's all you have to do.  Take this energy and do the right thing.

Nail Techs Design For Charity

Really?  Charity?

So, while I think this is a very good idea, I do have to question the financial aspect of this project.  100 shirts each of 12 different designs will be made and sold for $40 plus $8 shipping.  It states that 10% of the sale will go to the charity.

So, design number one, 100 shirts at $40 a shirt = $4,000.  $400 goes to charity.  $3,600 goes to whom?  Let's assume that these shirts cost $20 each, using the standard mark up of 100%.  That means the shirts cost $2,000, leaving $1,600 unaccounted for.  Let's even give the benefit of the doubt that the shirts cost $30, which is high, even for that type of shirt, that's still $600 unaccounted for.

Now take in the big picture and take the above and times it by 12 different shirt designs in sets of 100.  Who's pockets are being lined?  State your financials.

A Message From Carla Collier

Recently my nail life has taken a different turn. I am so happy with where I’m at and who I am in this stage of my life and career that I am tempted to go on with my happy self and ignore any negativity that tries to threaten that but my true friends, mentors and family have urged me to address a few things floating around about me. I am only going to say this once so if you miss it and choose to continue believing the crazy drama then I wish you all the best because it really is just pure fantasy and if you have no idea what I’m talking about just know ignorance is bliss in this case and go on your merry way.

First I will say I am in no way any anonymous voice for the nail industry. As anyone who knows me can attest to I have no problem telling anybody to their face exactly what’s on my mind—probably to a fault. I will try to use tact as to not hurt your feelings however if you ask me my feelings on something or thoughts about it please be prepared to hear the truth. I am an outspoken, confident person that can agree to disagree but will not hesitate to speak if I see something wrong. Usually I do not have to approach anybody. If something is not right it seems that I will always be approached first.  I want to encourage and help people do better nails and also inspire people to achieve their greatest potential. It’s really my mission out here because we all know there’s no money in it truly it is a passion. If someone does something mean or is rude to me I will just quite frankly ignore them and try my best to steer clear of them. So you see doing something to purposely antagonize someone is so completely out of my character.

Second I need to just let ya’ll know that I don’t have time to write the blog I’m actually paid to write let alone write one for free that in no way can compensate me for my time. I just do not have the energy or time to devote to anything more than what I do now. Letting anybody rob my joy, happiness, power or energy by giving any real thought to slanderous, angry comments or accusations are just out of the question. If people choose to believe what they hear or read about me so be it.  Also please know that I will not be responding to or engaging in any negative comments or conversations regarding this.

And last you can all know my computer hard drive is completely open for anyone to look at if they so choose. So I say to my accusers prove it!

I am always on my way to something better… love to you all Carla
