Hey, guys! This is me, Natalia. Reporting from the last week of July here.

Unlike the previous week, this one was filled with things!

From celebrities asking $$$ for their SM enforcements, while endorsing foods that literally send you to ER and have your gallbladders removed, to viral clothing from The Bear and new Twitter (or shall we say…X😬) monetization requirements.

In fact, I think you are gonna love this Weekly Snack! We are past 10th consecutive issue and this one is by far my favourite 🙂 

Ok, enough for the intro. Let’s get to it already.

On one side, Rachel Drori did everything right (from following her passion for veg first, healthy foods to her captivating SM marketing strategies), on the other a major fiasco, that’s now being accused of being majorly mishandled.

Some big lessons to learn.
