Former Shopping Channel Hosts

:shopping: Hope Nester sells products on Etsy under the name TheBlessingJarCo.

She also has her own website. What she’s selling are bath, body, haircare, and a few other assorted items.

I was under the impression from one of Mama Nester’s promotional YouTube videos that some proceeds were going to cancer research, but the Etsy page states that it’s simply to PROMOTE ā€œcancer research AWARENESSā€, nothing about donating any actual funds.

**Mama Nestor later made a statement that Hope researched and created the product to raise funds for her and her husband’s personal needs.

Mama N also mentioned that they were considering sailing to the Bahamas to visit Lisa, but so far a no-go. I sense that Lisa is trying to distance herself from the Nesters, doesn’t want to $upport them while they hang around forever for handouts. Who knows if the S.S. Minnow would even make it that far? It’s a distance of 566 miles, are they actually experienced sailors?

Ant definitely said that part of the sales from Hope’s company was going to cancer research. That was when she first started the business endeavor, so that didn’t last long. I doubt that anything went to cancer research…that’s not who the Nesters are.

She also mentioned that one of her sons was now in some type of business venture to help out with expenses. That would be the Nester’s expenses, of course. She didn’t give any specific details as to what his project was.

She was also crying the blues because of the fact that she was using her children for financial gain, and also sharing too much info about their mental health issues, thought people were being mean and judgemental.

She was, and is still using them. Why is it that some parents can’t see what harm they are causing? There is such a thing as oversharing!

Maybe she’s another no-conscience sociopath? I can’t imagine oversharing all this stuff and expecting donations and pity. Woman, work on your private life in private.

Lisa seems perfectly happy with her shell collecting without a boatload of grifters right at the dock.

She did show some examples of her son’s ā€œworkā€. He does some kind of artwork and transfers it onto mugs and other products. Didn’t look to me like he had too much talent.

:see_no_evil: I personally find her train wreck videos painful to watch. A lot of nonsensical rambling, whining, and drifting aimlessly from subject to subject. JMO, but she always appears drunk or hungover. And those facial tics or whatever they’re called. And the makeup application …

It’s painfully clear that this Social Media Influencer isn’t dealing with a full deck.

:fries: A few fries short of a Happy :grin: Meal.

Art isn’t a way to support yourself as a rule, any more than dance or music is. Even the seriously talented are having a bad time with AI and the economy. Maybe he could get some vocational training in a field with some job security?

I couldn’t get through the first one I looked at. Made it about 45 seconds. Just comes off as a con artist and her eyes are looking a bit mad. There’s this gloating, weird vibe.

Public confession is cringe. If you need to confide, there are many professionals to help!

Maybe like KL she isn’t seeking help, but staging whinefests for attention and dollars.

I used to like Ant as a host. She starting getting goofy at the same time she dyed her hair blond (which, to me, looked terrible on her). I felt sorry for her, and was hoping she would get some mental help as well as medical help after she left the Q. I guess this side of her personality never came out when she was a host.
