Y'all. You can go to Shine Cosmetics and get lip glosses created by Becky Squared. One is called Cultivate and one is called Good Life. I kid you not. I just saw that and came here to see if anyone else saw it. Speaking of makeup, the Urban Decay Naked Heat palette posted earlier in this thread is the bomb. I love that one and the Honey one. I can never have enough Naked palettes. I think her new app logo is pretty. I'd like that for an eye shadow palette.

How many people outside of her family is she going to be around without a mask? Isn’t Arizona a hot spot?

PS - It is NO MORE EXPENSIVE to release to iOS and Android SIMULTANEOUSLY (we just did it a few weeks back).
She is such a liar.
It depends on if you pick the right app dev environment. If you do, you code once, build twice (two build pipelines - one per platform) and release simultaneously.
Maybe if she hired real developers instead of whatever BYU amateurs she's paying in cosmetics and swimsuits, she'd have an app on both platforms.
Or, she could just keep doing it "the Becky way."

I'm so annoyed with how many people are acting like COVID isn't even a thing or the rules don't apply to them. My husband's extended family included (in Westchester going to a birthday party for a 3 year old today... no masks for anyone and little kids obviously don't get social distancing... seriously!?). It's so hard for me especially because my teen does not get why we are the only parents enforcing the rules... it seems like all her friends are able to just hang out with large groups of people without masks as if there's not even a pandemic going on. I'm just so sick of the stupidity and selfishness my fellow Americans are displaying... sorry for the little rant

It’s the big talking point at reddit at how many covidiots are there acting like nothing is wrong. So shameful and maddening.

Becky launched her new IG account today for her story/journaling/documenting venture: @mymodernstory.
The brand uses what looks to me like a pencil as the logo...a pencil with "modern"...when she's wanting to promote her app to tell these stories???

Ahh hell, now I gotta go look!! 🙄😂 Edited to add: well let's see how long this is a separate dedicated account to just this subject and all her other personal, shilling, other crap spills into it!!

Has she FINALLY decided to create a business account and shift her 'becky higgins llc' account to personal to hiking to navel-gazing and proselytizing (which is mostly what it is anyway).

Becky launched her new IG account today for her story/journaling/documenting venture: @mymodernstory I was just coming over here to see if y’all had heard the news. I wonder what prompted this. We’ve been asking for a separate account for years. Also, I’m really confused about this from a branding perspective. This whole My Modern Story is going to be done using the PL App. Why not just call the account Project Life? Seems like a great way to cause brand confusion. I was expecting something brand new. Like a new process or something.

In her mind, it's new even though people will be pushed to use the app that's existed for years and other brands (hello, AE) have been telling stories for years.

Oh ok, I see you, Becky. First Project Life was promoted as the new way to document "modern" life because traditional scrapbooking was over. Now it's MMS (stands for Mor mon s and this is the hill I'll die on) because Project Life is over. But no worries, it's still being done in the PL app, just to confuse your audience a little more. What a hawt mess of a launch and brand. What is it? A way to document your stories! For who is it? EVERYONE, gays and Black people included, woohoo, we're so (wait for it!) modern! Somebody lead her final herd of sheep to the Ali Edwards water, por favor.

Lmao! You all should be expert carpenters cause you hit so many nails on the head so accurately it's amazing!! I have had a headache the last few days and couldn't connect all the dots the way you ladies did and am laughing my head off at all these "revelations" Becky is bringing to the "documenting" world(cause we aren't using the term scrapbooking anymore, right?)! And sleepingbooty my hats off too you cause your assessment of her and the situation, actually any situation, is always spot on!! And always served with just the right amount of snark/smartassness for my liking!! Bravo! Bravo!!

I still say all this is an attempt to distance herself from “scrapbooking”. The new app logo, which looks like a generic collage app. The new BH logo that looks like two generic blobs. Now project life, but we’ll call it something else just in case someone confuses us with those old, out of touch scrapbookers.

From the MMS IG: "We offer physical + digital products, services, a podcast, regular inspiration, online courses, the Project Life App ... and ALL of it points back to the mission."'
Yeah, so does the Becky Higgins LLC IG. (You know, LLC as in Limited Liability CORPORATION)
So what's the difference between the content of the old and new IG? Both have inspiration. Both have podcast shilling. Both have online courses. ?!?!?!?!?!??
Instead of starting a new BUSINESS-ORIENTED IG to do the same stuff as the CURRENT IG, why not make the Becky Higgins LLC IG into business only (finally!) and just start a new PERSONAL page?!?!?!
And for the love of branding/clarity, don't name the new one 'My Modern Story' but then undergird it w/the 'Project Life' brand/app.
FFS. What a mess.

After thinking about it a bit, I have two theories about all of this.
1. Maybe Becky really got inspired again. Maybe she’s invigorated in the hobby again and she got really excited about it and just started a new thing without thinking about it too much.
or
2. Becky actually has someone like a business manager now. And that someone told her that she needed an Instagram account for her actual product. You can’t just advertise for your product in the Stories. But making a new account and calling it Project Life could be seen as giving in to her “haters,” so she gave it a new name.
But it’s Becky. Who knows?

What is the mission, though? Journaling? Just to write things down? I'm glad she's excited about this "new" venture, but she really loves using words like "mission" and not describing why we should be joining in on the excitement. Yet so many lap it up anyway....

On the subject of Dollar Tree having PL cards. You all know that Heidi, Lizzy's and Amy's items are there to? I don't think that shows how far anybody has fallen. I think that shows Dollar Tree bought AC's overstock. I hope some of you realize that all sorts of incomes and races shop at Dollar Tree. Not just black, Hispanic or low income. I bought some cards and they are so cute. I just adore them. I don't know who designed that line for Becky but it's so cute and she did such an amazing job. I am so angry at AC right now but I will say they do have some cute InHouse designers. sleepingbooty you don't have to install her app to look at the logo. I just looked at it on my computer browser. I don't think she is cheap. I think she is business broke. She reminds me of this girl I knew that got a lot of money from a botched surgery. Instead of investing or saving the money she opened up a comic book store and the store went belly up a couple of years later. Now, she has a huge collection of comic books that she can't resell because they are not the valuable editions. Becky is this girl- excess merchandise, no liquid assets and no revenue. Plus, Becky has always been a little bit behind on trends. A few of us use to make comments about that when she was trying to promote something. It wasn't even critical. It was more like "I did that in 2005 and I am not interested in 2008" kind of thing. I know you are about the trends and marketing, I remember that is part of your job. I think that was you. Becky is about what she likes and what makes her feel in her safe zone. The big problem with Becky always being in her safe zone she thinks she is a trend setter now, lol. I thought the old app logo was cute and I thought it fit Becky's brand. The new one is non-descript. I am not trashing it but I would honestly never notice it if I was looking for that type of app. I just looked at her new logo for her website and it looks like squished breasts. @zingermack- Legitimate question isn't it cheaper to release apps on Android than iPad? I read that one time. I don't understand why she can't release an Android app. Yes, ten years ago releasing Android apps was more difficult because of the infrastructure on all the different models that were running Android but it's now a lot more coherent. I do freelance for cybersecurity. Ten years ago I could pull out my hair trying to find security risks in a Samsung vs Google phone. It was so much work. Now it seems so seamless. Maybe, that's experience level and it is still difficult, lol. It does seem more coherent and seamless now. @julie5 really the Mormon's are just running around without masks like it's a badge of honor? I will not go down that rabbit hole and read the Mormon reddit. I am already in a bad mood about self-centered people. Seriously, I don't understand this. I was telling my DH the other day that Christian's are taught to value life. These are the same Christian's who will attack a woman for getting an abortion because she was raped but Christian's can't even go out the door wearing a mask. How effed up is that? I love Mormon Mafia. I am stealing that. Becky is using the word mission? NO! NO! NO! NO! When a Mormon starts saying mission that is a red flag warning to stay away from whatever they are shilling. Becky reminds me of that crazy lady in FarCry 5 who is always trying to brainwash you.

My impression is that the “mission” hasn’t really changed which just adds to the confusion. It’s just more about telling one specific story and telling your personal story vs maybe your family’s. To me that’s just two sides of the same coin. I don’t know why it needs a rebrand. And she’s using the editorial pages for all of this. I’ve gotten the idea that she’s really in love with the editorial templates in the app. She has said repeatedly how “modern” they are. I think this is just her new favorite thing which also just goes to show how she’s over the pocket-style of scrapbooking.

Generally people of all shapes, sizes, colors and perceived incomes. What do you think I was doing there myself? I wasn’t there just to gawk at people who shop there like some demented social experiment or to make fun. I shop there all the damn time. I never thought of it as being a class thing or race thing to shop there. I made a dumb joke, no one else participated in it and no one else made fun of anyone (including me) for being at the dollar tree. Please don’t paint the other peas as as being elitist or snotty because I made a dumb joke.

You know real people, who she has no idea how to deal with. Oh, wait, she’ll just delete, delete, block, delete It’ll be the same ole Becky - no questions allowed, nothing from outside of Stepford.

@amayalylac everyone shops at the dollar tree.
Dollar tree has the best kettle potato chips - just the right amount of salt. 👍🏻👍🏻 From me
Only reason I don’t go to the dollar tree is I prefer to try to shop my local single location dollar store first. If they don’t have then I’ll try dollar tree.
