Trad-wife, Mormon TikToker Nara Smith, aiming to create slime without using glue or borax, accidentally whipped up a batch of mustard gas—leading to her biggest scandal since making sunscreen out of rotisserie chicken juices.
Smith’s TikTok popularity stems from her knack for making household necessities, such as grain-free, sugar-free, dairy-free banana bread and non-toxic batteries, from scratch. Instead of running to the store like any normal, neglectful mother would when her children or husband, Lucky Blue Smith, needs anything, Smith labors for hours to provide it. A drooling Lucky Blue can be spotted in the background of his wife’s videos, chewing on branches and adjusting his waistband. You might recognize him from reblogging his Tumblr thirst traps back in 2014 at the ripe age of 12.
When Smith’s 5-year-old daughter, Wistful Amnesia, asked if she could make slime, the Mormon mama slipped into a floor-length gown of 14 shimmering layers, set up her tripod and ring light, and got to work. Smith explained to her followers that she would not be using glue or borax, citing the same reason she doesn’t vaccinate her children.
In an unfortunate mix up between the jar of cassava buckwheat flour and sulfur monochloride, Smith accidentally created mustard gas in her KitchenAid stand mixer. Fortunately, only Lucky Blue was impacted by the gas, and in just eleven short hours, Nara was able to create all the medical supplies needed from scratch to treat his open skin blisters and blindness.
