Exactly what I see. It's just odd for a F1. I've seen non-F1s do this while the season airs. Never a F1 do it.

Good for her though I suppose. It's a whole new world out there.

Maybe she traded her avocados for advertising allowances

She has to be paying for it, correct? As in not the show I would think.

Yeah she would be paying for it. And if you google ToniMay enough, or visit their IG enough, then your advertising becomes targeted for that brand. You might start noticing ToniMay advertising on your facebook feed as well (If ToniMay is paying for FB adverts as well).

Thanks @SugarandSpice.....I figured she would be paying for it, good business strategy IMO.

Absolutely. Great business strategy right now. Of course there is a possibility it wasn't her idea.. and a certain marketing director might be helping her market her business... ...

Not me but I am following Toni May so it may not come up. This is just weird for an F1 if she is an F1

Yup, I don't follow ToniMay... which is what I mean by a sponsored ad (it's to get me to follow).

IA. It's weird if she is F1. imo

IMO at least its her own hardworking business and not shilling like most contestants do.... i say good on her what ever she is f1 f2 f3 f4 (i still think she is f2 though;)

To be clear, I have absolutely zero problem with Laura promoting her ToniMay stuff. More power to her.

I am just looking at it from F1 perspective. It's very odd to me...

@allaboutlove......I get what you mean. Another point of reference is that the F1s in the past have only promoted their businesses to my knowledge only after the season is over.

@AllAboutLove completely agree

I guess Laura is trying to capitalize and get money and followers for her business while the show airs. So basically almost acting like a sponsor of the show herself through her TM business. Posting similar to what a sponsor company would post while the season airs to capitalize on it. Like how Laura posted about the ring she wore the first episode and how people can buy one like that too since she has ordered more stones. It's just interesting to me because that was literally her M&G thing - showing that ring and talking about her business. I haven't seen other F1s do that before, starting from the M&G and promoting while on the show like they are a sponsor...

@AllAboutLove imo totally more of an f2 thing to do look for me at this point i need convincing other than sportsbet to why she is f1??
