Chelsea Did Not Hit a Million AGAIN
Written by Parsons Green
The 2025 Seminar year has come to an end, and sadly Chelsea Adkins did not become a million dollar director. She was going to be a million dollar director in 2017. Then in 2021 it was really going to happen. Also in 2022. And 2023. THIS year would be the year. It was happening for real in 2024. But for real! 2025 will be it!
Chelsea’s million little miracles have been happening for 8 years now. Except they haven’t. She hasn’t even come close to $1 million, even with all the double credit promotions inflating the numbers. Her best year ever was $650,000.
Yet again, it was not meant to be. Only the $500,000 unit club. Half of the goal.
Chelsea Claytor Adkins has been spinning her wheels in May Kay for 11 years now.
Chelsea once bought her way into her first Cadillac but had to take the cash option because her driving record was too poor. Luckily she was able to lease a Cadillac from a director who turned her old one in.
She gives us so much to talk about:
- Gaming the system at Starbucks so she can get a venti coffee for the grande price.
- Begging on Venmo for people to buy drinks for her bachelorette party.
- Predicting in January 2021 that she would become an NSD by January 2022.
And then of course all of the proclamations that she’d reach million because THIS was going to be her year.
Chelsea attempted to finish the 2025 seminar year by doing a 100 Faces in a Day Event. Even though she bragged about having $7500 in retail sales, the real story is she most likely broke even or LOST MONEY on this event.
The Mary Kay ended with Chelsea completing the $500k unit club.This means Chelsea and her team spent $250,000 (wholesale) on products from the company. There is no telling how much of this product was sold at full price – or was even sold at all. But as we know, most is never sold.
Chelsea did have a win this year. She enters the new seminar year with 3 directors in her downline. Shenika Bowles and Anna Duke are first time directors. Kiersten Houston squeaked by on the very last day of the month and became a director for the second time.
Mary Kay believes in Chelsea and the power of her credit cards, though. Although Chelsea was never close to being on target to earn the top director trip to Budapest and Prague, the company sent her several trinkets over the year letting her know she was “on target.” This just goes to show how fake the whole “on target” thing is, because Chelsea was never on a pace to finish the trip.
Chelsea’s team was the highest performing team for her national sales director Jamie Taylor this year, but that is a story for a different day.
Jamie sure believes in Chelsea. She sent her a post card a few years ago with this inspiring message that Chelsea turned into a trinket box at a Mary Kay Event.
Chelsea is devoting her time, effort and FICO score to Jamie and Mary Kay Corporate. Just think of what Chelsea could accomplish if she truly put her faith and family first before Mary Kay. And how soon will it be in this new seminar year before Chelsea claims million yet again? In 3…. 2… 1…..

It’s depressing. If she’d sunk the probably hundreds of thousands of dollars she’s spent on MKrap over her “career” she could have done some real good in the world.
How much food could that have bought for a food pantry? Socks and underwear for unhoused people? Water wells for people with no access to safe water as she’s bilking Starbucks? Actually useful toiletries for domestic violence victims shelters? Worship materials for prison inmates? Diaper banks? Your own parish church? School supplies?
Instead, she’s in it for the diamonds and trips and title and recognition, no matter how much she tries to spin it as her “mission”. She sucks.
This. Exactly.
But even if she hadn’t been interested in philanthropy, how much better off would she have been financially if she’d invested that money?
To me, it looks like all she accomplished was to buy herself some emotional validation, at a premium price. What a tragedy.
That yes helped pay for my dream wedding, our first home, raising my siblings, my husband’s racing career, etc
The racing career now on hold because he’s back being a policeman? So is he paying for it now?
“…exposed me to travel, diamonds, designer handbags, luxury vehicles and all the finer things in life.”
Nothing wrong with those things. Just remember,
“…for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” ~ Matthew 6:21
Let’s not forget that even though she didn’t earn the MKTRIP she’s now stuck paying for a Disney trip for some of her top consultomers who bought their way to earn a trip she sponsored. Money management should be taught in MK- especially how to keep more in your own bank account. That’s the goal, right? MK is not a sorority, it’s supposed to be a business.
In literally ANY other industry, you would quit and go do something else. This much work for so few results? I have a philosophy in business. “Quitting is absolutely an option.” If something is costing you more time, money, and energy than it is benefitting you, quit. Pivot. Do something else. Don’t fall for the shiny distractions of cheap gifts to keep you on the hamster wheel. Do an actual cost-benefit analysis. Act accordingly.
Why is there no title?
Jamie writing on a box “I’m really tired of you not doing a million” is really messed up!
She could have said it more encouraging at least!
Jamie seems like she is from that movie “mean girls”. She would totally fit in that group as well. Hi jamie I know you be watching! I bet jamie low key thinks all the Chelsea bashing is entertaining and then goes and tells Chelsea don’t give up bs.
Sorry yo ramble just my thoughts. It’s just those words she wrote shows she truly doesn’t care about Chelsea.
It really does sound like a threat.
