Gracefully Taylor Shae, Your Virtual Bestie
Written by Parsons Green
Back when Taylor Bero was getting ready to host her 100 faces glass skin party, I noticed her Instagram account had a link to a website — www.gracefullyshae.com
I then noticed Taylor kept posting about the website on Facebook. When asked for a link, she provided the Gracefully Shae link that was on her Instagram.
The website offered two levels of subscriptions – $14.95 a month for directors, and $9.95 for consultants. The subscription gave you access to the following.
- Unlimited Monthly Templates
- Guides for New Product Launches
- Tracking Printables
- Monthly Social Media Guides with pictures and captions for every day of the month
- Monthly Newsletters for both units and customers
- Instagram Templates for monthly recognition
Chelsea Adkins and Taylor McKnight both recommend the service as fellow directors with Taylor in Jamie Taylor’s national area.
I wondered who ran this site, because I noticed that they were charging fees and using a lot of Mary Kay pictures and trademarks. When I did a whois lookup, the owner was none other than Taylor Bero herself. Is she allowed to market these products under her consultant agreement?
Shortly after I noticed this, the Gracefully Shae website was taken down and and replaced with a new website Virtual Bestie. The site is basically the same as it looked before the name was changed – and the ownership is hidden on whois.
How curious that Taylor promotes the Virtual Bestie newsletter in the Director Tips Group on Facebook, but makes it seem like she’s a customer rather than the owner. I wonder how her fellow directors would feel if they knew about this dishonesty?
It’s amazing to me that Taylor has enough time to run not only a successful Mary Kay Business but she can run this hustle on the side too. No wonder it’s taken her 7 weeks to send a customer her product. Maybe she needs to create a printable for timely shipping?
In addition to the canva access, Taylor also has a store to offer Mary Kay prizes for directors and consultants. Like many other Mary Kay directors and NSD’s, she has her own daily journal. (She also forgot to take her name off the picture in the listing.)
The Mary Kay rules are confusing when it comes to selling things to fellow directors. Some seem to get away with it, and others have legal coming after them for using MK lists of consultants and directors to sell products and services. I wonder where Taylor’s not-so-secret business venture falls?

Omg this is chef’s-kiss……..
Only item she forgot to offer is the pink dick straws some other consultants seem fond of.
Maybe there’s a downloadable to 3D print them.
The Pink Truth Supersleuth strikes again! This is delightful 🤣
I am not a graphics designer … but those Canva templates look like something a tweenybopper would find attractive. Garish and cluttered.
They’re like the 2020s version of the 1990s Geocities pages, the ones with a million animated GIFs and unreadable colored text and cursor chasers and eye-watering backgrounds (I had one, to my everlasting shame).
They are marginally better than most MRR templates.
This is my opinion and my experience, so it may or may not be what’s going on with Taylor.
Especially in my last several years as a consultant/director, when I was determined to make it work and NOT get a full time job, I was hustling in 28 different directions, just trying to cobble together enough income to make bills. My last year, at tax time, I had FOUR 1099s, a W2 (for the last couple of months of the year when I gave up on MK), and self employment income from MK. I still made less than 30K for the entire year.
I suspect Taylor isn’t making enough money to cover her expenses, so she’s starting all these side hustles to desperately try to cover the difference.
More lying about “executive income for part time work”!!
