I'm sorry, Jaina. Thank you so much for the very sweet words. I'm just not one to sit around and be attacked by insecure people who have nothing better to do with their lives and if you're experiencing any issues, my best advice is to find a healthy place to channel your energy. Thanks to my experiences here, I've decided to eventually launch my own site for beauty and any other "girl stuff" that may come up. It won't be anything big, commercial or make me any money, it'll just be for respectable girls and women to have a safe place to talk and exchange advice paid for by yours truly. I'll monitor it daily and anyone who causes problems will get the boot. Anyway, I periodically check my notifications on here to keep with with those who'd like to keep in touch with me and if you need anything, I'm here. If you want, I'll add you to my email address book and I'll send you a message so that if you ever need or want to, you can reach me outside of Beautylish. :)

Mandi I hate to see you leave Beautylish because your such a great person and very knowledgeable about skin care. We really do need a person like you on here but I do agree if its stressful on here then you don't need it. I know you'd make a great dermatologist one day if that's what you choose. You are an awesome person and deserve to be treated with respect. Who ever is hating is just jealous that your not only a genius at skin care but your gorgeous and such a beautiful person on the inside too!! We will all miss you and your awesome comments and advice! Hopefully one day you'll check in on us to see how we are doing! Keep your head held high I know you WILL accomplish great things. brittanyartellan@gmail.com

Brittany, that was SUCH a sweet comment! It is very much appreciated. :) You're right, people do get jealous and unfortunately, jealousy can drive some people to do really crappy things. I'll absolutely miss Beautylish and all of the awesome people here...I already do! Just yesterday, I discovered this incredible hair mask that worked wonders on my very damaged hair and my first instinct was to share it on BL as soon as possible until I realized that I had been forced to stop posting. :( As much as I'd love to resume my activity here, I refuse to be publicly humiliated or bullied again. I have found that since I decided to leave that some pretty incredible people are wanting to be pen pals, for lack of a more modern term, and I'd be happy to add you to that list. :) Watch your inbox!

I know...I'm sorry. I was doing fine until someone went beyond the site to slander me. I had to draw the line. :(

Oh no, Mandi! Your comment was so sweet, but also so sad. It is too unfortunate that things have gotten so bad. I really loved everything you have to say on here, you are always so kind and in great spirits. I'm sorry to see you go, but good luck in life! You will be missed!

Yeah, I'm pretty sad about it, but as I said to someone else, I'm extremely fortunate and an internet forum is a very small part of my life that I can easily live without..especially if it causes me any amount of stress. It's very easy for me to ignore people, but when they are on a mission to hurt me personally, I have to walk away. It's flattering that some choose to spend so much of their time talking about me, but at the same time, their obsessive behavior puts my safety at risk. Thank you so much for the kind words!! Good luck to you too! :D
