I’ve followed Alex for years, before she got a big following. As I understand it Nicola‘s supported living enables her to live and work independently. They regularly have family holidays and she seems so happy and loved. I actually think they are a great example of showing disability in a really positive light.

I absolutely love these rants from influencers that think Instagram owes them a living. I went to a conference last week with work and they had a talk about insta and why influencers are getting angry. Instagram is (/was) based on who we followed. Originally, when we all set up our accounts we followed people that were relevant in our lives in that moment but now so much time has passed by that we no longer have strong connections to these ‘old’ accounts. So, people like Alex who have a pretty stagnant following now can’t connect with their audiences as their original followers will have moved on, grown up and have different interests.

I think this is super relevant here. I don’t know about you but I started following her when I was single, materialistic and related to her being glamorous in the office. Now I have kids, bills through the roof and look homeless most days … she’s so far from my reality I should probs unfollow haha

It really makes me LOL when she says ‘on to the next chapter’ … you’re moving round the corner, you don’t have a job, you have no plans to get married, you aren’t having a baby, you will decorate your house exactly the same … it’s hardly a page turner!
