Mimi, the owner of Turquoise + Salt Waistbeads has been falsely advertising "self love, mindfulness powertools, energy magic, and energy healing." Mimi falsely advertises her waistbeads as part of self love and energy healing and often uses her personal tragedies to show how the waistbeads allegedly help. This issue is, Mimi is not the person she portrays online.
Mimi, who is married, slept with one of her followers' husband for over 7 years! The IG follower was unaware that Mimi was having an affair with her husband. However, Mimi was aware that the man's wife followed her business page @turquoiseandsalt and continued to post false and misleading posts about self love and healing, when Mimi's actions in real life were akin to self hate and brokenness.
In June 2021, the married man Mimi was having an affair with ended the affair. In response, Mimi created fake Google voice accounts to send harassing text messages to the members of the man's family. Mimi then attempted to extort the follower's husband for $100k and threatened to get the man fired.
Over a month after the ending the affair, Mimi, a self proclaimed healer, continued to beg the man to be with her, despite posts on her IG depicting Mimi to be emotionally and mentally stronger than she actually is.
Mimi and her wastebeads do not heal. Mimi doesnt practice the mindfulness she sells to her customers. On Turquoise + Salt website Mimi states "There has always existed deep down inside of me an overwhelming desire to unite and empower young girls and women. Especially black women" Sleeping with a married man for over 7 years does not untie or empower women - it does the complete opposite.
Mimi also occasionally tells her followers that she only makes the wastebeads when her "energy" is right because she doesn't want to transfer negativity to the beads. This is extremely misleading. Mimi's followers sometimes travel to have their wastebeads tied by her because they believe Mimi is a healer and energy worker. Buts it's all false and for sales only.
The wastebeads are aesthetically pleasing, but do not harness the power or energy alleged by Mimi. Mimi's "tribe" and followers deserve to know that Mimi is a fraud and not the woman she portrays.
