Watch: This woman is wildly popular for presenting (artificial) gooey slime in imaginative ways
Karina Garcia’s first book was titled ‘Karina Garcia’s DIY Slime’. Yes, really.
Karina Garcia has rightfully earned the title “Slime Queen”. The 24-old-year woman’s obsession for slime has not just earned her eight million followers on Youtube but also millions of dollars.
A former waitress, Garcia came into her own with her DIY videos, showing how to make all kinds of things with them, which she sells to an adoring customer base.
But wait, this isn’t natural slime, which is most unpleasant and often smelly. This slime is an artificial substance, though just as gooey and sticky, made with chemicals. It is also popular.
That may explain why so many people watch Garcia’s videos, especially when she does things like recreating the Ice Bucket Challenge with slime.
Garcia runs her slime kingdom from the comforts of her home in Riverside, California, USA, and even has her own merchandise. Her fast-selling “Slime Kits” allow children to get a taste of her gooey world. Though slime is not a new invention, being a combination of glue and an activator found in most laundry detergent, inventive people like Garcia have brought it back in trend.
Garcia also loves to post do-it-yourself life hacks involving slime.
