I’m sad to share some disappointing news about the recent article in Wellness Magazine. It was fake. We didn’t know until afterwards. And when the truth came out, I was furious — not just for us, but for all the people being misled by this kind of marketing.
At first, it felt like such a wonderful opportunity for a small company like ours to be noticed. They reached out and said they wanted to include two Alywillow products in an upcoming article about wellness. We chose Featheray and Fortify because we believed they would benefit the most people.
Soon after, they scheduled a phone call directly with me. During that call, the editor said they loved our products so much that they wanted to shift the focus and dedicate the entire article to Alywillow. Naturally, our whole team was thrilled! Since there was no cost to us—just a genuine feature—we gladly agreed.
Right before publication, they offered a reasonable option to add “BUY NOW” buttons, making it easier for readers to shop, and it would keep the article in their top hotlines (their headliner news stories), so I agreed. Here it is....
Everything seemed like an incredible experience… until after the article went live. That’s when the red flags appeared:
- The story was awesome, and every word about 'how our products are used' and 'the results to be expected were right', so we didn't notice there was no author’s name until later.... Who wrote this marvelous piece?
- The photos were stock images, alongside our own. If someone had this marvelous experience and traveled with our products, why weren't our products photographed in a Parisian windowsill, or a hotel room, or anywhere they traveled? They never asked for samples, so no one actually tried our products that we are aware of, no products were shipped to their writers, and the article came out pretty fast... yet this is what they said, "When I travel, Fortify comes with me like a bodyguard. I’ve used it on mosquito bites, a weird toenail situation I will NOT elaborate on, and even in a hotel diffuser because the air smelled like old gym socks. Crisis averted every time."
On our website we suggest using Fortify on a cottonball and putting it in on the air vent in a hotel room, but this article mentions a hotel diffuser... what is that? (another AI slip-up)
Here you can see the Alywillow article on the Top Headliner's page. I wonder if any of these other articles are fake? Did they fall for the same scam I did?
Fake Vs. Real
Yes, it was fake. In other words... the article was not genuine. It was manufactured. It was dishonest. It was manipulative.
It's another example of how companies trick you with fake marketing, stock photos, and stories that aren’t real. They make it look authentic, but it isn’t. And this is exactly the kind of manipulation we refuse to participate in. For copyright reasons, we can't post the entire article here, but here's a snippet to give you an idea....
Now, let me just say, I’m not easy to impress. My bathroom cabinet has seen it all—glittery gimmicks, overpriced jars of empty promises, and DIY disasters that smelled suspiciously like salad dressing. But when I tell you these two Alywillow products didn’t just join the party, they became the headliners of my entire skincare routine? Oh, they didn’t just show up—they strutted in wearing sequins and holding a mic.
The whole thing reads like an AI fabrication... and it continued on in this exaggerated manner for quite a while. We have already requested that the article be taken down, and I hope it’s no longer active, but I also hope you can see for yourself the depth of dishonesty in this industry.
But here’s the truth you can count on:
When you go to our website, every review you see is VERIFIED by a third party — not by us. That means they’re real, unedited, and written by people who actually bought and used Alywillow products. We don’t filter or delete. They might not be fancy writers, but they are REAL people.
These are our Real Products... and they do really do amazing things.
Even though the article was fake, our products are real and they are awesome. If you haven't tried them, I think we'll really be happy with them.
Here's some more REAL news...
- We have won the highest recognition available: the Diamond Transparency Award. Out of all the companies this third party monitors, Alywillow ranks in the top 10% for authenticity. That’s because we’ve published 100% of every verified review. The good, the great, and even the critical — all of it. Because that’s what real honesty looks like.
- We are also in the top 10% for trending, meaning our customers give us a high percentage of reviews based on the number of products we sell. (Thank you everyone - we appreciate it).
Why can't people be honest?
I don't get it. Our culture feels overwhelmed with dishonesty, and I wonder how much more we can take. Every day, we receive far more fraudulent calls and emails at Alywillow than genuine messages from our real customers — sometimes ten times more! It wears on the team to the point that when the phone rings, everyone groans because we’re so tired of the fraud.
But when it’s a real customer on the line? That’s when our hearts lift. Those calls from you bring us joy and remind us why we do this work in the first place.
We can’t help but wonder — is this happening to everyone? Are you experiencing the same flood of dishonesty in your own life, too?
At Alywillow, we are built on integrity.
I hold myself accountable for falling for their trick, and I straight-up apologize to anyone who saw the article. We uphold a Code of Ethics and remain dedicated to promoting wellness. In the future, we will continue to look for ways to promote Alywillow using only ethical methods. We may not grow as quickly as other companies, but we will at least know our actions are honorable.
While other companies may use these marketing companies that twist words, fabricate stories, and use manipulative tactics - we won't. Our promise is simple, because it's REAL: clean products, honest information, and a brand you can trust.
Thank you for all your real reviews. They are so important to us. It's because of your loyalty, because you share with your friends and your family, and because you love Alywillow - that we are still here. <3 Thank you for choosing Alywillow.
I hope all of you beautiful and loving people continue to thrive!
Many blessings,
Aliya Trinity
CEO and Founder of Alywillow
