Unrealistic. While we appreciate all that Gwyneth is trying to do for us when it comes to leading healthier and clearly more luxurious lifestyles, it’s simply unrealistic that she expect the rest of the world to live the same way she does. Sorry, but we have much better things to spend $15,000 on, Gwyneth.
Website. Gwyneth Paltrow started her own lifestyle website called GOOP, where she posts items for sale that are akin to her own lifestyle. That is to say, sh*t nobody else can afford.
Products. Usually, the items on her website range from cooking products, work out clothes, and other beauty accessories to whatever else the celeb feels like sellin' us that day. However, this month, GOOP features a category titled “not-so-basic sex toys.”
Cost. While this category is something that is seen on a lot of women’s lifestyle websites, this one is a little different because it features sex toys that can cost you your entire month’s rent.
Pleasure. One item in particular has people talking — the $15,000 24 karat gold vibrator titled the INEZ. According to the GOOP website, the INEZ is “perfect for those who understand that you can’t put a price on pleasure." Gwyneth, please, please stop.
Money. The vibrator is also available in stainless steel, for a less substantial price of $7,900. The product is offered with free three day shipping, as well as a one year warranty and 10 year guarantee. Hey, at least you’re getting your money worth!
Temperature. The vibrator is also sculpted to target the G-spot, for added pleasure. According to reviews on the website, the vibrator also changes temperature, which makes a huge difference.
Items. Among other items that the website recommends for products that could spice up your sex life are a black and gold cat whip for $535, a necklace that turns into nipple clamps for $395, and another waterproof vibrator that goes for $149.
Clueless. Whether or not Gwyneth Paltrow is aware that the rest of the world doesn’t live as lavishly as she does is something the world might never know, as this isn’t the first time she’s ever recommend something so excessively priced.
False. Her website is constantly featuring new lifestyle trends that seem alien to anyone that doesn’t live in her world. However, not everything she promotes seems to be legitimate. Tech Insider called her out on some of GOOP’s most recent false claims.
Detox. In one feature, she talks about detoxing, and how she and her entire staff do a group detox once a year. The detox consists of no alcohol, caffeine, sugar, dairy, and certain colored vegetables.
Research. However according to Tech Insider, detoxing isn’t backed by research and hasn’t been proven to work, and removing all of those aforementioned foods from your body doesn’t guarantee that your body will be pure afterwards.
Filtering. "The body is constantly filtering the toxins in alcohol, food and medicines, not storing them. So they're not going to build up,” says dietitian Maria Adams, as reported by Tech Insider.
Kidney. The kidney is able to detox your body from chemicals on its own without you needing to cut out foods from your body. Or buy some $25000 contraption from Paltrow's site that promises to help you "cleanse" or "reinvigorate" or "consciously uncouple."
Organs. "Unless there's a blockage in one of these organs that do it day and night, there's absolutely no need to help the body get rid of toxins,” says doctor Ranit Mishori, as reported by Tech Insider. Thanks but no thanks, G. Now see yourself out that sliding door.
